Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not onto your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.
It's crowded but well organized. It's been dusted, de-linted, and scrubbed down. Machines cleaned, oiled and ready to go. This clean-up effort was prompted after becoming sick last week while working with fur fabric. I just didn't think about wearing a mask to prevent inhaling fur particles, ending up with a case of what I'm calling self induced bronchitis. This cleanup was part of my effort to get rid of the fur residue in my sewing rooms. I do not understand why some people are more susceptible to allergens than others.
Moral of the story - please wear a mask when working with fur and other like fabrics.
I'm getting better day by day, still not 100% but wanted to take a moment to issue this information just in case someone didn't know.
Happy New Year
Looking forward to us making lots of pretty things in 2018...
Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Faye. I had no idea one could get sick from working with fur. Hope you feel better soon and happy new year!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Happy, Happy New Year!
DeleteHappy new year Faye...wishing you all the best in 2018
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I hope you recover soon! As a side note, that scripture from Proverbs was the one my husband and I used for our wedding, and still lean on today. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy New Year! What a beautiful scripture to start and live in your marriage!
DeleteHappy New Year Faye! And get well soon xx
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Faye and take care!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Happy, Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy New Year!
DeleteHi, made a comment ... did it disappear? ... :) anyways ... wishing you better health and lots of love in 2018, from Lynda in Toronto
ReplyDeleteHey Lynda from Toronto! So glad to hear from you again! Happy New Year to you. Did I ask you before if you have a blog, on Instagram, FB or some other medium?
DeleteDear Faye, Thanks so much for asking; however, I don't have a much of a presence, only email, which I do not think wise to publicly share ... and am technologically and am time challenged. Thank you so much your efforts to post so inspirationally, I do want to get back into sewing, though it is not a priority as otherwise I would have already. :) Your reminder of Proverbs 3:5-6 is much appreciated. And your comments you wrote about yourself under "about me" on the right side of your blog, also speaks strongly to me as I too "try harder". I too am a proud mother (I have 2 children), if you are interested you can watch a TEDx talk of my daughter by googling "youtube Farah Shakir". May God bless you and your family!
DeleteOh and thank you so much for posting about how you got sick so we can learn from this experience ... in addition to other precautions I wrap my face with a woolen scarf and breathe through it when I am outside in cold (I ice-skate, bicycle, and also am out in frigid air after indoor swimming)... however now that I am trying to catch up on my housecleaning ... with your advisory I am prompted to wear a mask to breathe through and lessen my exposure to irritants in the recirculating air. /Lynda from Toronto
DeleteLynda while I do realize that many people are not as troubled by allergens as I am, I wanted to warn people just in case they didn't know. I became sick on Christmas Day and It has taken me until today to start feeling well again. I was so miserable and would never want anyone else go through this. I will be sure to check out the video!
DeleteI would never have thought to wear a mask either! Thank you for the advice, hope your health improves each day, and am looking forward to your makes this year!
ReplyDeleteI am trying my best to feel better Rainjerette but it is a slow go. If and when I work with fur again it will be outdoors too.
DeleteHappy New Year, Faye! I can't wait to see all the pretties you will make in '18. I have similar issues with fur and now wear a mask, so worth the aggravation. Hope you are breathing and feeling fine real soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Bunny! I am breathing a bit better, but still not feeling like myself. I get so exciting when I think about pretty possibilities for 2018!
DeleteHappy New Year Ms. Faye
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too Diane! Lets make some very beautiful things in 2018!
DeleteHappy New Year, Faye! I hope you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThank you Alexandra. I am just starting to feel like myself on Day 11.
DeleteWishing you all the best in this New Year of 2018!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tany!
