Nice news

I had some nice news today, I won a free copy of the Giant Chevron Quilt Pattern by Jess of the Elven Garden!


Available from Etsy here

Its a really cool design and I look forward to the day I get a chance to try it!

Meantime I have no news as such to tell, no sewing done thats for sure.  I'm too ouchy most of the time to do much.  My days lately have been taken up with alarms and timers going off to make sure I eat when I need to, to get blood tests done when I'm supposed to.  Not to mention trying to think *what* on earth I'm going to eat....



One aspect of Narcolepsy is not being able to deal with stress, so I'm pretty much sleeping all the time at the moment.  Thank goodness this is (touch wood, cross fingers etc) only for the duration of the rest of the pregnancy, I dont know how people with regular diabetes cope!  

Nevermind, mum is coming up to look after me soon, and I cannot wait!!!  I'm itching to sew, I just need someone to stick me in front of the machine, pass me stuff so I dont have to bend or twist,  and prod me awake every 2 minutes and then help me get up out of the seat afterwards....   Roll on Beanys arrival in January!!!!

  2. Best bit is your mum can prod you at the appropriate times and stick food in front of you.

  5. Oh Sarah, you are having a rough time of it! My sister in law had gestational diabetes and it sucked. Thankfully it resolved as soon as baby was born. Stay safe till your Mum visits :) x

  6. Congratulations on the pattern win! I admire your determination to sew and if my latest experience was anything to go by you want to do it before your bump gets too big to reach the machine!!

  9. Would you like me to get my friend to contact you? She's a qualified dietician who got HD in her first pregnancy and has stayed diabetic. She's got some lovely recipes...

  17. What a great pattern Jess has come out with... I might just need to go and buy one of those! Handily it looks like it would make a terrific cot quilt! Ditto to all the other comments - pregnancy is a bitch. Hang in there...

  19. I had GD with my last pregnancy. Luckily it could be diet controlled and I didn't need tablets or insulin. On the upside, I ate so properly I weighed 5kg less at the end of my pregnancy than I did at the start! I did find pricking my fingers to test the bsl did leave my fingers quite sore so hand sewing was out.

  21. try using the side of your finger it is less sensitive and you don't use it to feel things with...that will help with some of the "ouch" finger tips
