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

Your sewing skills are amazing to have done that Irish dancing dress. They are so detailed.
Yay, for getting back home for a few hours and maybe for good later this week. I'm so happy you are out of pain.
