next week is promising to be busy so thought i would post another photo of my little houses in progress.....need to make 20 more and hoping to get most of those done this weekend....
another picture perfect day...would so love to get in the car and drive somewhere but not quite yet....my home PT has been extended 3 weeks and upped to twice weekly, then outpatient. new exercises have also been added. doctors and nurses are essential but i do believe PTs are the under appreciated heroes...
just plain lovely here today...not hot, not humid, sunny, gentle breeze....it's june! i've a few mundane things on my to-do list but plenty of unplanned hours too....the mailman brought me a lovely package yesterday....
a very nice moda door prize from sarah over at "hands 2 help" a charity sew along she chairs every year.....i've already got plans for the tote....the little stitch book has grids for squares, hexies, triangles and diamonds....a great take along!
before i got back to sewing, picked up this cross stitch to finish....was going to make it a pin cushion but rather will just stuff it and use it for fall deco....i love pumpkins!
my sewing set up is L-shaped but found that the gentle twisting from machine to iron/cutting board was problematic so retrieved this from the shelf....it's a portable ironing board given me by my dear friend marianne some time ago....i never went on retreat so it's been waiting for now obviously....it'll be a year next week she passed away....a very long year without her quips, chatter and friendship......she is missed.
farmer's markets are in full swing but until i graduate to 4 wheels, off limits i'm afraid...maybe next week?
june is half done and taking stock of my "one monthly goal" status.....not too shabby! the guild charity top is half done...this little wall quilt is a flimsy too....
and since my sewing mojo has recovered somewhat, pulled out an official UFO and my box of kaffe scraps for more little houses.....
my design wall fell down again....the command hooks hate my concrete walls....so i'm making do with it hanging precariously on my shelf unit....but aren't they cute? need to make 36 in all....and they are fun too!
it's week 7 after surgery and progress is steady but too slow for my liking....anxious to be on two feet and driving again....been using the stationary bike more, very gingerly as PT advised...now that life is slowly returning to normal in the world, anxious to do some fun things again.....soon i hope!
hope you are flying the flag today on Flag Day....despots, crooked politicians and even bad presidents have failed to destroy the democracy represented by the stars and stripes....would the founding fathers be surprised the republic has survived through all that has transpired in nearly 250 years? for an eye-opening view into the struggles they faced, recommend reading "the federalist papers".....
and our family never forgets Flag Day for it was my Dad's birthday....
recovery from hip and dental surgery continues....the infirmary is just about closed and sewing mojo is returning slowly.....will have photos later this week....beach vacation just 82 days from now....now bring on monday!
