Today, Tomorrow and Forever

Portland, Oregon,....Now it is just too much!!!  Chickens are inside the house on the sheep quilt  I made Aoife!!!!

Rope bowls from rehab!!!

Given to the nurses

And from my chicken crazy daughter....She has plans to hang with another friend who loves chickens..

OMG....Here they are enjoying the "drinking with chicken day".

I would not say that my girl is obsessed, would  you???

Someone asked me what was the most challenging sewing project I had ever done.

Well, in high school, I  took shop.  I re-upholstered the family car:  A Peugeot we had brought back from 
Europe when my father was restationed home.

And, above....The Irish dance dress I made for my girl for her competition  in the World's Irish Dance.

Today, I have another good behavior pass from re-hab to my apartment...So nice to be home.  Tomorrow the staples come out of my wound at the ortho...Wednesday, my quilters come to help me move my things from rehab, home to my apartment..I will have been in rehab for 3 and a half weeks....Thursday, I come home for good...............No pain at all...no pain meds either!!!

Lucky, lucky Grandma O'Quilts

Little Red Goes to Rehab

 

Grandma O'Quilts has survived her fifth joint replacement.  Guess what??? After 6 months of tortuous pain, I am  now pain free.  I still live at the rehab center as the staples have not been removed from the wound....But I am alive and well...It is now two and a half weeks post surgery!!  Whew.......Three days post total hip replacement, my daughter brought Little Red to the rehab center.

I had prepped these....eg cutting fabric and fusible fleece at home pre-surgery.  As I waited for the afters of the surgery to subside, I was able to make key fobs for the nice nurses and folks at the rehab center where I am staying.

They were very well recieved..  It is nice to be able to give back.

I was not able to blog from my Ipad...ignorance on my part...

Now, I am on a good behavior pass from the rehab jail...home for a few hours to finish up a few things.

Thank you all for all your support..
