Once more unto the shed dear friends, once more

I don't like taking drugs, today I surrendered. It's all very well trying to tough it out and cope, however, Lord do they help. I couldn't carry on with only four hours sleep. Time to wave the flag and admit my GP might have been right. It's amazing what a day in the shed can do too. I almost feel normal again. Still in a bit of pain but even that's more bearable when you're having a nice time.

It wasn't just the drugs that made today a good day, it was the new super lovely fabric that arrived. It's funny how certain materials almost tell you how to use them. Usually attempting to colour and pattern match a new design is a challenge. Today I rattled through three bags one after the other. If only it was always this easy!

This first one has been made for a lady here for her syringe driver. It's not tested yet but hopefully she'll come back and let us know how it works for her.

The next two are cool cotton shoppers. Very girly and pretty. Lovely!

With a bit of luck, tomorrow I'll add all of my bags to my Etsy shop. Lots of things to do mind. One day I'll have time to be bored.

Sometimes, taking the pills is not admitting defeat, sometimes they help us become more like ourselves.

But I understand why you resist, I do too but find that they are a necessary evil at times.

Do not feel defeated by taking them

I know you're right blueeric, at times like these they are a necessary evil.

Thank you x

During treatment and post treatment I was appalled by all the pain meds I had to take! Not being a pill popper normally, it was very alien to me to have to take all these! I fought it for a while, but soon realised life was actually better if I took them. And as was pointed out to me, it was only temporary, and my body would cope with this level of pain meds for the period of time they were necessary. In fact I was almost glugging it out of the bottle when I needed it most!! Threw all caution to the wind! But now, I still need them sometimes, and I do not beat myself up about it. We have to do what we have to do, and there are worse things than popping a few pills now and again ;-) But certainly do not feel defeated by taking them. They help you get through. Love the new bags :-)) xx

Thanks so much Miss Sparkle (great name by the way!). I've done as you and Blueeric suggest and chomped the pills. Yesterday I took what I needed and it did help. I'm a little hesitant because pain meds often make me feel very nauseated and then I have to take something for that too. Think I'm just going to have to get used to pill popping for a while yet!

So glad you like the bags! I've finally opened my Etsy shop BagsFromTheForest, fingers crossed I'm going to be able to make some more soon :)
