Bandage off Friday night, could make a fist, still with some bruising, swelling and stiffness. Post-op appointment today, with dressings off, the 2 stitches out, less bruising, swelling and stiffness and more movement. Dr is happy with it all. Healing and recovery going well, ready for reopening on 20/1/26.

My surgery happened yesterday and everything went well, apart from it being a very long day, and it was nearly cancelled, unless my friendship ring could be removed. I wasn't having any cancellations, as planned this around my work, so a persistent and determined nurse performed magic to remove it. My machines were put in for their annual services on the way into hospital, so now they and I will be ready for reopening next year, but in the meantime, I'm resting, relaxing, reading, binge-watching for the next 6 weeks.

And that's 2025 all wrapped up for PurpleStewy! It has been a very busy year for me with the business (thank you to all my lovely clients), and personally, but I got through it. Now, it's time to prep all our dinners for the freezer, get the last few Christmas gifts and wrap them for under the tree, clean my sewing room throughly, deliver my machines in for their services, so I can rest, relax, recover and read after my surgery on Tuesday.
Wishing everyone Happy and Safe Holidays, A Wonderful Christmas and may 2026 be Bright, Cheerful and Boutiful.

Another beautiful friend and client came to me early this year, and midst all my heavy workload, personal and medical challenges, it was finally delivered today. It was my first attempt at making this type of quilt, but I'm sew chuffed with how it turned out. Enjoy reliving all your special workplace memories, Paige Popey.

A beautiful regular of PurpleStewy. So glad I could help with your gorgeous dress, Trudy Vains, a marriage celebrant, Life Celebrations With Trudy. You and the family looked winners!

Three (3) weeks from today, Saturday 6th December, is my last day of working, before I close for this year, to reopen 6 weeks later, on Tuesday 20th January.

I can't accept any more work for completion this year, as I have a full workload, and also need to prepare for all the Christmas festivities and meal prep, ready for carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand (dominant hand) a few days after I close, and will be in full recovery mode over that 6 weeks break, to ensure there's no post-op issues, from overdoing things too soon.

Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may cause over the Christmas and New Year season.

Yay! Finally succumbed to allowing my phone to be reset today, after all my pre-scheduled SMS confirmation requests had been sent today, for tomorrow's appointments. All good, with only minimal recent data, SMS's and photos since last week lost. 📱📲 Now to get my EFTPOS relinked!

To all my family, friends, and sewing clients.
I do apologise if anyone has tried phoning me, or sent an SMS text, but I got a new phone last week, and after a trip down to Brisbane yesterday, I now can't unlock it without my password that I now can't remember (that I only selected last week and thought it was a regular 1 I use), as usually use 2 other forms of logins. I currently can't make calls (unless I'm in the car, linked to Bluetooth), nor can I see or send SMS's, until I get it unlocked or reset, that may mean I lose vital data.
I can be contacted via messenger chats, or husband's phone until this issue is sorted very soon.
