Despite the sinus thing I've done some sewing and I finished a t-shirt I really love. The main fabric is merino from The Fabric Shop which I got for $10 per metre. I had to cut around a couple of holes, but it was worth it, the colour is gorgeous!

On the health front I was worse yesterday and ended up at after hours again (to those from overseas this is like a walk-in clinic I think). New antibiotics and another nasal spray with an antihistamine and the hopes that this works. Yesterday was horrible! Today I'm feeling a bit more human so have hopes for the future and am about to get 2 singlets sewn for youngest. He's not so young now, 13 this month and we had his birthday party today which went off well despite having to cancel the visit to Willowbank (a local zoo) as it was raining quite hard. He invited two friends from his old school who now go to the new school as well and they watched Fantastic Beasts and decorated pillowcases. I'm now all out of decent cotton pillowcases so will have to come up with something new next year.
On the knitting front I'm up to the first heel on Dh's new socks, have just started a new shawl and got youngest to choose one skein of yarn from Vintage Purls to order for a new pair of socks. I was expecting he'd choose green, but he chose lilac instead. Looking forward to knitting those, just have to decide on a pattern.
