I feel like I've been doing a lot of that, but it's really only on two things so far. I've done hemstitching on my scarf on the loom. The actual scarf is finished now, but I've not yet cut it off as I don't want to waste any of the warp; instead I've wound it on enough for the fringe and then started again to make actual fabric for the rest of it, which will probably become a soft toy for the previous owner of the loom.

| You can see the scarf on the bottom; the new fabric on top. I am really pleased with how this is working out. |
I'm also hand hemming my new coat, it's the next step before I start on the sleeves and then the lining. I need to finish this so I can cut out some new undies for me and some tops too for working out in.

On a health front I'm now gluten and dairy free and my palpitations have reduced significantly in strength so it looks like there may be a food problem in there. Had butter by accident two days ago and got major indigestion; this is not a good thing as I was hoping it was gluten that was the issue, not dairy. I'll have to stay GF for a while yet before I challenge it back though, gluten stays in the system for longer than dairy. Two weeks on the new eating plan and I've also stopped getting restless legs at night. Still having problems with having to get up frequently and inflammatory joints but the other improvements make me hope that over time this will also improve.
I'm starting to enjoy the gym too, I don't have enough suitable clothes so have some on the way from the Marika Balance range, I find their stuff fits me well; though I do still need to make myself some tops.
Will be back later with more photos of spinning and the socks I'm knitting from my own pattern for youngest. I'm over halfway through the foot and need to get them finished to deal with the lack of socks in his drawer, this is mostly due to the constant growth of said feet.
