So, I'm in the lovely No.33 cafe because I feel a bit funny when I can't connect to the internet! And now I feel much better.
I've had a rough week, part-bug, part-stress I think. Anyway, as a result I cancelled most of my objectives for the week and felt better for taking the pressure off. A couple of days ago I felt an urge to make something so decided to start on my make-it-yourself Secret Santa present. 
I really enjoyed making it. I cut it all out on the living room floor while watching Strictly Come Dancing, and Pride and Prejudice (again). Then I sewed together the outer of the bag. I'm really pleased with it so far. The interfacing is much tougher than the last one I used and gives the bag much more support and shape. I just have the lining to do. My only concern is that when I turn it all inside out for the lining to be in position the structure of the interfacing will be compromised as I'm having to bend it and shove it through a small space. We'll see. I can't see how else it's meant to be. Softer interfacing doesn't give it the support it needs. I hope my recipient will like it.
The lovely Meg in her sleeping position.I was very excited when I went into John Lewis yesterday and saw that they had just taken delivery of some Amy Butler bolts of fabric! I asked the woman about it and she said they're getting even more. So I may have to indulge a little this weekend.
I think part of what's made me unwell this week is I didn't properly recover after Hagos left to go on tour. I was in town on Saturday seeing a friend for lunch, then again on Sunday to see two lots of other friends. And it was lovely to see people but I think it left me depleted of energy and low on immunity. I'm feeling much better now and back on track.
I popped into Neal's Yard and got some herbs to support my adrenal glands! I'm also planning to do NOTHING except homely things this weekend.
