Last update for 2023 is here! I know we are already in the new year, but before I dive into my plans for 2024 I want to properly end 2023 with a last update :) It’s been in my mind for a while O_O
Let’s start with a health update again. So 2023 obviously hasn't been great for me healthwise. In my last update I’ve shared I had developed a TMJ disorder. I am still in treatment for this. But then later in November just when I finally was working on my onesie work I got heavy pain attacks in my stomach. It turned out I had a stomach ulcer, if everything wasn’t bad enough already. This has also been the reason I haven't been updating much. So after a couple of visits (because the attacks kept coming back) and taking medicines and lab research still not much progress. Then earlier this week I got another heavy pain attack and the doctor said I need to get a gastroscopy. This pretty much means they will put a tube in my mouth and do research in my stomach. I will go to the hospital today and hopefully they can give me some answers. For now I just continue the medicines, which will protect my stomach and it helps a bit :) I try to stay positive, but everything together makes it a bit too much for me atm. Luckily my clients are very supportive and patient with me. But it still feels very stressful.
I was looking forward to working on the onesie for Kaida, which I did some work for until I got ill again. This gave me a lot of stress, because I was finally able to work on it and then just another thing happened to me >_< I did finish some splatoon work, but not much either. I try to take little steps and take it easy, but it’s hard not thinking about all the delays.
Other than my sewing projects I also had responsibility at school. Me and 2 other moms were organizing an adventmarkt on school. This was quite some work as well, but it was a great success and everyone enjoyed it. I like to share more about this and the work I do for school in another update in the future. I have been volunteering more at school since this school year. I really enjoy being more involved with my kids' school, but it’s also been difficult due to my health. I hope next year will be better.
This time of year is truly a busy time. Now it was my daughter's turn to celebrate her birthday. She turned 3 on December 10 and I made a Nijntje (miffy) cake on request of my daughter. We celebrated her birthday with family and friends at home :) She got a big wooden dollhouse for her birthday! <3 She was very happy turning 3.
Sadly after her birthday we immediately got sick, a stomach flu. After that everything was really busy at school since it was the last week of school. With Christmas brunches and everything, so I wasn’t able to do much work at home. Initially I didn’t have any work planned from November to December due to these times being busy. But due to all the delays I was hoping to catch up. But experiencing it again I am saying this again: I can’t plan any work past October, there are just too many distractions, other responsibilities and sick days that it’s impossible to stay on schedule.
When the 2 weeks vacation started I was sooo full of everything I just couldn’t do much. We even canceled our New Year’s party with friends (it was just 2 people :P), because I was just too tired and full. I just needed rest and it was nice to just have a chill day with my husband and kids. Ever since I am taking it a bit easier for myself.
Next year needs to go differently for the sake of my health. I have to take a few steps back or just take small steps. Change my mindset? I don’t know SOMETHING! I will share my goals in my next update!
I appreciate you all <3 Thank you for being her for me and supporting what I do!

Not so much Onesie time
