Busy week-end

I've been very ill the last few days and I need to do more medical checks but I am close to completely fine now. I've never been that sick in my whole life and it wasn't funny, but hopefully it was a one time problem. When the main pain attack was over, I spent the next three days sleeping most of the day and night, I was very weak. Then on the fourth day I decided to spend the whole day doing finishing on many gifites that were stitched and were waiting for inspiration to strike on me. Actually I think I worked on that for two full days. Oh, I don't like finishing. Only sewing and decorating my partner's Prairie Schooler exchange took me 8 full hours.... LOL! Too bad I can't show you the result yet, but I am very satisfied with it. In total I did the finishing on 8 pieces, including a little box. Oh, I am also very happy with that one. Two PIFS (for Mylene and Sharon) are also waiting to be sent as soon as I feel strong enough again to go to the post office. It was lots of work but I am as happy to have it behind me as I am happy with the result! I certainly couldn't earn my life as a finisher though! :)
I've just posted a fall pillow that stays home (lousy picture though! it is much nicer in real) and I'll be posting more in the next days and weeks, when these gifties reach their future owners :)
The works in my flat are approaching and H. might arrive from Oslo this Friday instead of Monday, two days earlier, because he wants to help me empty the kitchen furniture into boxes and unmount the furniture. I don't look forward to all this work but it can't be avoided either. he was supposed to fly in on Monday for his birthday but this way we'll get to spend 5 days together instead of 3, even if they will be quite busy. I will make sure though to organize a lazy and/or attractive day on his birthday. I plan a dinner in a good restaurant and I've already ordered his gift online - not sure of the name in English, it is a laser hand device for measuring distances in a building, instead of using a tape. Something tells me he'll be delighted :)
