Been absent, not willingly

SHINGLES!.  can I hear a collective gasp?!! I am a dum dum. When the rash showed up on my hand I  thought, "If I can get that rash cleared up , I am home free." So I kept anti-itch creams and lotions on it and I only have one faint reddish patch now...BUT, when the rash started to clear, the PAIN hit. My whole body feels like I been in a fight and the fight is continuing without me defending myself.  And SO tired.  After reading up on it, because it was on my hand and not near my face, I am not in danger from complications. The meds they give will not shorten it or relieve it. The body has to take care of it.  Well this body needs a swift kick!

Needles to say, sewing has not been top priority.  I have not digitized but one design. I feel whupped after being up a couple hours. So when I need to go to town, I start early and get er done. I am getting up earlier so I am hopefully catching up on the rest. My naps are shorter but still needed. My house?  I don't even wanna look at it.  I have a quilt to get done, shoot I have a quilt to even get started!

I finished the second one late but #3 grandson did not mind.
I used sheets with the angry bird print on them. I searched and couldn't find regular fabric with that design.  Only fleece, not what I wanted.  So here is what I ended up with.

While he and older brother stayed with me for a week, his mom redid their bedroom.  He saw the quilt as I was finishing it and wouldn't even let me embroider his name on it...he wanted it THEN.  So he got it.  This was a quilt as you go project.
