In the sewing room today ...

Today I am going to do some sewing ... I have been procrastinating far too long.

I really have to do something, and I reckon I cannot get it done from the computer which is NOT in the sewing room... 

And I guess I will just have to sew around the mess, and maybe put a few things away as I go .. who knows. I may even be able to find and dig out the spare machine and finally retire this one that honestly is on its last legs ... bits are breaking off all over ... I think I am just too rough ... It is plastic with a steel inner ... my last old machine was metal on metal .. and it was able to take a bit of rough handling and stuff that this one seems not to have been up to the task... Not the machine's fault at all .. it is mine and only mine ... for the past 7 years I have been using one right hand which works perfectly well .. and one left hand and arm that has little to no sensation in it, but the hand and arm have an incredible amount of strength .. so it is great for picking stuff up ... but unless I am looking at what I have .... the hand does tend to let go and it drops stuff  ... all a bit useless really ... so... I have to stay attentive ... and if you are a follower of any of my writings you will know I get distracted very easily and go off in a different direction at the drop of a hat ...  if I am having a conversation with my husband he often says ... "Foe-cuss ... Focus Bobbie!!" ... lol. 

See just like that ... I have always been like it but since I had the stroke in 2015 I have been getting progressively worse ... I need some structure in my life or so I am told ... stuff that will need some mental exercise... like keeping a diary .. and I reckon my blog will act as a good diary. Typing is easier, it emphasizes my spelling errors and, I am able to read this stuff ... my handwriting after about 10 lines starts to fall apart and gets really bad .. haha .. and I think that's because I try to write as fast as I think ... no chance of that ever happening .. not even when typing ... but word now has talk to text and that helps heaps .. although there are a lot of arms in it because I say umm a real lot ... did not know that till I started doing stuff this way ... and .. here I am .. way way way off topic ... I have a little notice just at eye level pinned to the wall that says ... Just try a little harder .. and I do .. try a little harder in everything ... and today ... my trying harder .. is to achieve something in my precious sewing room ... but first I have to get in there ... I will finish off this post .. along with my lovely cup of tea ... and go do what I am supposed to do today. 

today I typed this out, tomorrow I am going to use Microsoft Word and speak it .. and have it come out in text ... of course, it will need some editing ... as there will be photos being shared ... the cup of tea is empty ... and now so will this chair be ... 

have a wonderful and productive day where ever you are ... 

love and hugs ..💖
