I am ...Hi Annabel, congratulations on the new baby. I am also a migraine sufferer and it is tough at the best of times, let alone when you are pregnant and can't take anything. For years I tried cold compresses, and finally an older lady who was a nurse advised me to use hot compresses/wheat packs. Sounded like the last thing I would want to do add heat. But she explained that the heat acts open the blood vessels (vasodilation) and improve blood flow. Went home and tried it on the back of my neck and base of my skull which I where my pain stems from and it worked like a charm. I have never looked back. Just thought I would mention as a safe treatment during pregnancy. Keeping you all in my prayers.

I have had a big improvement in recent years in migraines and it co insides with taking the magnesium for my legs. So it helped both a lot. <br />The darning in the ends is the worst bit! But once that is done you have another big project complete! <br />Ah yes... for stock you want water... I think thats a good idea to make two things at once! If my crockpot has the room adding the potatoes or something extra is really handy. Our potatoes I split open and added sour cream then the casserole... the rest was pie filling. But its an extra meal and different. Another is adding extra chicken to the stock and then you have poached chicken for sandwiches etc. <br />Oh I thought I will mention... if I am cooking a casserole and it is too much liquid the potato works to both soak up some and have a good flavour but I also sometimes add rice in one corner... then that soaks up a heap of liquid and is yummy! Because there is a lot of goodness in that liquid!<br />Many thanks Jen. Have a lovely weekend!

Its so inventive and since you showed me this my mind is like !!! thinking of how I could pick just the colours I like to make them! And just the colours friends like too!<br />You are seriously creative and artistic. I can't wait to show everyone your baskets and quilts. I love that you use recycled materials.<br />I also love that you work for charity. That is beautiful. Also items can be used in other ways i.e. raffle prize etc but I think the gift of something handmade shows love too. As you say that item can mean a lot. Well done Cookie. We can all do more. There are so many needs.

I am so excited for her! I feel like jumping for joy. I bet the baby will be super cute, just like his/her big sister Harper. I am sad to hear Lucy has been so unwell. Those migraines sound absolutely awful! For anyone they would debilitating, but to be pregnant and have a toddler, it would make it even harder. I really hope the Neurologist can come up with something she can do/take that is natural. I will keep her in my prayers.<br />Your crochet work is magnificent and adds such beauty (and luxury) to the every day. It was such a pleasure to be looking at your work. I would so love a tutorial on crocheting and also crocheting those cleaning cloths (they are the best). <br />Sending you and your family love.

I hope that the migraines settle down for Lucy so she can enjoy her pregnancy. Sounds like they may be hormone related. <br /><br />I am working on a crochet blanket for my eldest daughter in the colours she likes. They are similar colours the one you made recently in greys, browns, creams and blue. It is looking good so far.<br /><br />The weather has been very warm, but now I hear rain drops on the roof as I am writing this. Rain is good, especially after the horrible windy day today!<br /><br />I have been quiet around here with a few little hiccups happening with my family. I will drop you an email very soon. Along with that I have been Spring cleaning, I am trying to get ahead before it starts :)<br /><br />I will remember Lucy in my prayers,<br /><br />With lots of love,<br />Tania xxTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-89614131127853002992016-08-17T22:56:58.019-07:002016-08-17T22:56:58.019-07:00I do hope they can find a solution for Lucy.
