Today I have been blogging exactly 10 years! Hard to believe I have been blogging for this amount of time. I had intended to write something well a bit more than usual, but my week went completely pearshaped.
The humble dot can have lots of interpretations!
Firstly my father went into hospital on the weekend with mystery severe internal bleeding and at 81, well that is always a worry, but today after a colonscopy and gastroscopy the news is positive- and abraded oesophagus so he can go home again.Also my father has a partner who is high care ( he is her carer) so we had to call in respite, as she would not budge, but the relief in home respite worked well thankfully, so that is good to know.
Then today my mother went into a hospital ( my parents have been separated for a long time) with intestinal infection and they have decided to move her to a big hospital that is better at caring for these conditions. My mother lives about 3 hours form where I live , so it all gets a bit complicated. The infection has been ongoing, she said she was clear on Monday night but said she still had some pain, so I asked her to please go and get another blood test, and the results were that the infection was not better.. Even so I feel a bit frazzled, as my daughter starts her end of high school/university entry exams next week. So all of this could not have happened at a worse time. Anyway I suppose dottie might be a good word for it somehow.
I have been making samples for a workshop I am teaching on Saturday and they wanted to do the travellers blanket but it can't be done in one day so I ran up some dottie samples.
On my mantel piece in the late afternoon sun- it looks a bit outlandish....
And thank you thank you all my followers and readers- for all your comments, for all your support, for all your positive thoughts and all your putting up with me.... if you leave a comment , I will put all your names in a hat and one lucky commenter will receive a bag of goodies ( I am too dottied at the moment to say what it will be but it will be a nice surprise)
Sorry to hear about your Mum and Dad - hopefully they will be on the mend soon. It must such a stressful time for you with so much going on - take care!
ReplyDeleteBTW I love the dots!

ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying your blog and love your work. Have seriously thought of doing your travellers blanket workshop. Maybe next time you run it on-line. Good luck with your mum and dad and hope your daughter does well with her exams. Was really impressed with your work when I saw it at the Berry Retreat with Elizabeth. Take care and try not to stress too much!!
ReplyDeleteHang in there. Thinking of you.

10 years of blogging - congrats. I love reading your stories and I love your dotties, particularly how you make something simple(e.g. circles) into something that look so vibrant and interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first visit to your blog, and I'm so glad to discover your work. It's beautiful! Hope things settle down for you soon.
ReplyDeleteI have already been the lucky winner of one of your blog giveaways so my name needn't go into the hat. But I wanted to add my congrats and appreciation for your 10 years of blogging and your perseverance through all the many ups and downs of life. You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteDijanne, hopelijk komt alles in orde met je ouders. Op naar de volgende 10 jaar en blijf genieten van alles in textielland!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on ten years of blogging ... I have been following you since around 2005 ... I love your work and am happy to be able to take some of your online workshops this year. Hope all goes well with your parents, it is a difficult time as they age .. For both you and them. Take care Dijanne and make time for yourself and your daughter xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 10 years of blogging!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your parents. Unfortunately, that's what happens in our age when parents are 80+ years old (similar problems here in my family...). Take care!
Love the dots and the idea of the Travelers Blanket. Keep up the good work. Janet Wright tai chi@rockisland.com
ReplyDeleteHoping that your parents are on the mend, and that you do take the time to breath. Caring for my parents for 13 years taught me that time for yourself is the most important thing you can do. Sending hugs!
ReplyDeleteSterkte met je ouders. Gefeliciteerd met het blog-jubileum. Succes!
ReplyDeleteI have followed your blog for years, taken your online classes, purchased some of your textiles and works, bought your books etc. You are an amazing talent. I just wish you didn't have to struggle so....but perhaps that is what makes you the artist you are! I hope life gets easier. Best wishes always
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on ten years of

ReplyDeleteAnd congrats with 10 years of blogging. Nice to get a chance to win a goodie bag. That will be a big surprise.
Sorry to hear about your parents. It is a tough time for you all. I love your dots-your freedom in embroidery is inspiring. Steph
ReplyDeleteI fully understand you're going a bit dotty as 2 parents to worry is quite enough but you sort of have 3. I hope that you had a great workshop. Chris x

ReplyDeleteOrange is your best signature colour in my view, love it when you use it with some of your great blues, Congratulations Dijanne, number one blog for me. I think it is partly because I have met you and attended a couple of your workshops which makes your blog personally remarkable from the rest. Chris Beardsley
