Think Mr Magoo!

Hi lovely people,
Because a few of you are wondering where I am and if I'm ok, I thought it would be best if I just put out a quick note to let you know what's happening.
I'm having a bit of trouble with my eyes at the momenrt, nothing too serious, just an inability to focus my eyes after using my computer for more than five minutes. This has meant that I've not been using it all...no blog reading (went through a bit of withdrawal with that, I can tell you,) no browsing, not even reading emails, I feel like I've entered the dark ages here. In fact I'm having to have a little help writing this but dictation is a wonderful thing and I'm sure I could get used to having a computer slave!
So, after Christmas I have an appointment with a specialist and I'm sure that with the help of a couple of thick bottle bottom glasses (think Mr Magoo) and a tweek here and there I'll be back radishing as usual.
"Grrr.... I said ravishing"!
You just can't get good help these days!
But as I'm not looking for your pity I thought I'd leave you with a few pics of fabric I've bought from work, at Patchwork at Gail B's. Now you're jealous, aren't you! HoHoHo.

  1. I always thought a girl could never have too much fabric.
    But in your case, I may be wrong.
    Where on earth can you store MORE fabric?
    Is Ruby having to move into the garage so you can use her room as more fabric storage?
    Hehehehe.
    Looking forward to a proper catch up as a virtual one seems unlikely given the magoo-ness of your peepers.
    Let me know about the Sydney thing.

    PS Oh Magoo ... you've done it again!!!

  2. Yay, you're alive! Was a tad worried, I got Andi to ring you the other night! Hope you're still able to sew, or you might need that white straight jacket, hey? We have weekends free over the hols, so yell if you want company, we'll come over your place for a swim! And fabric touching, of course!

  3. Clair!!! Im so happy you've popped up to say hello! Now how's that for an excuse, I was thinking aliens had kidnapped you or you'd run off to join a cult but there you are with blurry eyes. I like the way you don't see the specialist until after Christmas and I bet you had to make the apponitment 6 months ago. Don't they know we miss you! Look after yourself. What's the Sydney thing??
