Thiought I would post to cheer the day.
Below Aoife and her cousin in Ireland at Christmas.
They are learning to get along.
Dublin airport at New Years...Aoife hugging Santa!!
Christine showing us her latest quilt.
I had such a lovely dinner last night with friends, that I was motivated to finish a few of my things just sitting around.
I think the "love" applique is a good touch. I found more online at Walmart.
Below, a potholder gift for a friend:
My sister is destashing....she is preparing her home for a hospital bed for her daughter
Hospice is involved. We are all so sad.
I asked her for one cup of her Christmas china before she sells it..
Lovely memories.
Sometimes a quilter just has to make a potholder...not done, but therapeutic
So here it is...my latest.:...My awful hip pain keeps me from going to dinner, to the art studio, from leaving the apartment.
No pain medication helps at all...And so a friend loaned me this...OMG
My poor ego.....I have to talk myself into being grateful it is available to me at no cost. As I practice on it so I will not kill someone else, I should be able to be less confined and thus less depressed.
I think I will adjust to this better if it is bespeckled with quilting items!!!
Surgeon and doctor will not replace my hip if I do not lose 50 pounds, but I cannot walk..
Jeeze...I offered to sign a waiver, but no dice. Me thinks the insurance companies now own the hospitals.
Instead I have to take these shots to help me lose weight. I do not want to but the pain says , "just do it"
Now they are making me give myself the shots....OMG OMG
Good things today include a visit from my friend Michael...Thank you Michael.for the friendship, the lunch and the visit..xoxo
Visitors came from my bldg....
And all was well until I tried to walk again after my nap and ended up in tears.
Guess what????? Dinner fixed that....crazy me..
Now, as my dear man said....I will just go sew. xoxo
