Hello........ Today I thought I'd join in with 'Amy' and her Five on Friday link up, I've never joined in before so this week I though I'd share five things from my week.
This week I have been eating Deliciously Ella Energy Bites, you can find the recipe 'here' these came in very helpful last week as my energy levels were at zero with this current relapse really flaring up. They are so yummy and helped me resist reaching for the chocolate. Thankfully the joint pains, fever and inflammation have started to settle again now, I think it might have been a Herxheimer reaction from the Lyme treatment, being ill really is no fun.
This week I have been listening to Jason and Pharis Romero, such wonderful harmonies and playing. After spending several days in bed I was lucky enough to be able to go and enjoy some wonderful live music.
This week I have been delivering parcels
containing yarny goodness, my first ever crocheted Baby Blanket you can read more about how I made it 'here'
This week I have also been sorting out the yarn in the Summerhouse, yes the craft supplies were getting a bit out of control.What I really wanted was to have the yarn on display on the shelves but being out in the garden the Summerhouse is prone to insects and spiders so in the end I opted for storage draws as no one want cobwebs in there yarn. So that's the first couple full, still lots more sorting to do.
Last but not least this week I have been happy to see the mini iris starting to flower in the garden hopefully Spring is on the way.
Well that's my week pretty much summed up, despite feeling pretty rotten at times I have achieved some things and I'm please to say that I've been feeling much better over the last couple of days so things are looking up.

Five good things that I am glad have cheered you up a little while you have been dealing with your health flare up. Your iris is so pretty isn't it - I am very jealous of that! I love the way you have arranged your yarn by way of being a rainbow too, that looks really pretty! Thank you so much for joining in! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Clare, I do hope you are feeling better! I love your crochet creations and the pretty flower that is blooming!

ReplyDeleteHi Clare, your baby blanket is lovely - thank you for sharing it. I have been looking for a nice pattern as I am going to be a new Gramma in May. The nursery is being decorated with those very colors. My blogger friend from Scotland has a daughter with ME with many of the same challenges as you. You would love her blog (http://christinelaennec.co.uk/) Writing from Scotland. Take care. xo Karen
