Not My Fault I Can't Do Sums...I Have A Condition!

There I was this afternoon cutting out Disappearing Nine Patch blocks...so easy to do, but it's looks complicated when finished...but it involves cutting the entire nine patches in half...both vertically and horizontally.

I had to halve 13 and half inches to cut them accurately.

Don't do sums.

Can't do sums actually 'cos I have Dyscalculia...like Dyslexia, but for numbers. They simply don't make any sense to me whatsoever...

Normally, if I was in my shed, I could manage by using the big cutting mat which has everything neatly marked out...but because I'm in the cottage and there isn't room on the table for everything, I have to use a small cutting mat that is pretty basic.

I had to look it up on Google, which is pretty sad when you think .

If Himself had been at home, I could have asked him of course and he'd have told me straight away, but I'd sent him to the chemists to buy Dylon Dye and then to the supermarket for salt...

But now it's the new improved Dylon and no salt is needed...instead of having to buy yardage for the backs of throws and quilts I buy double sheets from the charity shop...the Hospice shop doesn't sell anything that isn't good quality so you can be sure they'll be freshly laundered and not have suspicious stains on them...once dyed, no-one is any the wiser.

It's still raining hard and the wind is still howling...
