nearly there..

after some of the most horrific 6 weeks i've had in a long time....let's see...2 hospitalizations, surgery, move, family member illness, cardiac issues, new environment, medication adjustments....how many stress points is that?  if not 300 then darn close i think!  but seeing light so improving.  first up....take note of this....the very LAST box to be emptied!

yeah it's fabric...spent the last 2 days unpacking the stash and fingers crossed it will all fit on the shelves....here it is this morning....the top shelf is going to save me i do believe!

the bottom shelf is taken up with finished wall quilts...well, most of them.  there is another small pile of things to be hung on the walls and another pile of things to give away/sell.  gonna be a tight squeeze.  makes me itching to get sewing to acquire some breathing room here.  

here is the pile of quilts for the closet shelf (left) and the wall quilts to go (right)....

overwhelmed yet?  i am!  inbetween unpacking found a few moments to get my cherry tomato seeds planted...

they are looking good and hoping for a good yield...the variety is 'sweet 100' and i've had them before....very prolific.  we have planter boxes here.  farmer's market gets $5-6 per half pint of these, beyond my budget, so even a few pints with minimal startup cost would be good.  

as mentioned, had another brief hospital visit...cardiac issues this time....all new docs and new-to-me facility.  God sent many angels in my path, starting with paramedic who recommended hospital.  appointments on board for the month.  in addition to fluid and caffeine restrictions, a heart rate stabilizer so feeling a lot like flat stanley as he slinks down the stairs.  yesterday was able to drive for the first time since mid-march.  grocery store, drug store and bank with library, gym and senior center lined up for later in the week.  still lots to make it home...another month should do it.  studio area nearly ready to use...another UFO in the hoop as well....it's been a long hiatus!

  5. Your positive attitude shines through in this post, in spite of all that you have been through lately. It's so hard to want to sew and not have things set up so your can get busy. I'm glad you're on the mend. You commented on my blog but it didn't come to my email so I don't have your email and thought I'd thank you here. I'm the on who is sewing all those pineapple blocks. Thanks for the encouragement. How you can sit down to your machine soon.g
