Fun in the sun

after way too many gloomy, dreary, rainy, windy and foggy days, the sun arrived today for the entire day!  temps hovered around 52F so that is quite tolerable.  no PT so took advantage and fired up miss sunny early this morning, like 6 am!  after 2 hours, the belt again snapped, so phoebe featherweight was called into service.  several in-process things needed attention.   first, some blue batik strips got sewn into these strippy blocks for ? border or ? blocks later on....

next, all the pieces for the happy cats sew along were cut and pinned...perhaps this weekend will finish assembling them all and then proceed to flimsy....

last, ex-wedding quilt top got assembled.  pattern is liberty road by anorina over at samelia's mum blog.  i had given the bride a choice of patterns and she chose this but absolutely NO RED!  

definitely not a problem with my abundant scrap choices.  i had things cooked ahead and the apartment is fairly neat, so no guilt in sewing the day away.   vacuuming is still on the list but another day or two won't matter.  things to do fri/sat/sun and back on PT schedule next week, so a free day was a bonus and respite.  

january nearly half over and still things to accomplish--the blue circles for one.  PT on for the remainder of the month.  can't say enough about their expertise.  they recommended an insole for the left shoe, broken hip side, and my right knee pain immediately disappeared.  walking less like a duck as well.  ortho guy was mistaken, he said it wouldn't help but it did help a great deal.  the surgeon 2+ years ago also said an insole wouldn't help and he was mistaken as well.  maybe generally it doesn't, but for me it did and couldn't be more glad.  just might be tap dancing one day after all...lol!
