back to business

yes indeed the vac came off yesterday....still getting used to not having to think twice about moving around the apartment.  OT has been notified and will be here when schedule permits.  still 2-3 weeks for complete healing but new skin has already formed over part of wound.  after a day of packing up the infirmary,  it's back to normal diversions.  

did you hear?  100 days to christmas.  better get going on my scrappy quilt top for the senior center.  miss sunny and i are re-bonding....

before the vac came off, the stash got a quick re-org and fine tuned....some uninspiring pieces got flung and others got unearthed as the muse prompted...

healthy enough but not overwhelming....pieces on top are for some winter warmth garments....

however, this piece came out to play....first task was to separate the columns...



pulled some complementary pieces..few ideas percolating and final plan awaits...getting back into the groove in baby steps....this whole arm thing and its lengthy resolution took a huge stressful toll on me and finding that a bit more effort and rest has been required.  

and can it be true?  robert redford. movie golden boy of 70s and 80s and beyond has died...thank goodness for film....one of his that was a sleeper movie but really good...'the milagro bean field war'.  catch it if you can!

  1. I am so glad you are healing nicely--what an ordeal you have been through--but I can tell that somehow all this medical stuff has made you 'sound' better--more hopeful--maybe--
    I actually watched a Robert Redford movie last night--don't remember the name of it--its the one where he is kidnapped and killed--he is older in this one-may be one of his last ones?
    hugs, di

  2. I liked it where you said; "pieces got flung". That's exactly how I feel when there's a piece of fabric that I've discovered in my stash and it no longer belongs.

  3. Those floral strips look like borders in waiting... It's good to know that you are sewing again. Take it slowly for a while longer, let the healing continue.

  4. It sounds like your sewjo is returning. There’s nothing like reviewing the stash to discover possibilities.

  5. I'm so happy to see you talking 'fabric' again!!! Yes, sad news about Robert Redford.

  6. As your head cheerleader, I’d simply like to say: “You’re On Your Way! Hooray!!”
