Below are jar openers. They are backed with rubber draw liners...Now is the time for relaxing sewing with no stress and no deadlines!!
Here: 13 bowl cozies for the holidays. The bottom one is made from a shirt I had made for my son when he was five...He is now 40!! Both my boy grands wore it too!
Making more laminate pouches closed with velcro. They are perfect for holding cards, or snacks, or anything. I have one for dog treats and one for labels. The old ladies here play "Hand and Foot ". a card game. I made one of these for each table so the cards would not get lost.

Our darling Stitch is now 9.5 years old. I still remember how Evan and I went to get him at the shelter after Granddaddy died. He is the best cat ever...king everywhere he goes. Now he lives in Union County with the grandchildren he loves. Stitch no longer sleeps on my sewing table, but as you see, he is quite happy xox Love you Stitch!!

A fun scrap potholder...
It has now been almost 3 months since my hip replacement surgery. Still zero pain...so grateful...However, I am wobbly, on a walker and working on my patience..Life does seem to change. Little by little I am able to do new things...Eg. I can now exercise in the pool for 30 min and ride the Nu-step for 11 minutes. Still only walking small distances.... I am carrying on.
I am making new friends. A couple moved in last week where the husband has ALS. I took them a potholder and told them I was available any time they cared for support. No one should be alone with this disease!! I can be a fellow traveler.( If they want)
Reading and relaxing and getting better...Finally posting...Internet is back and I am still in the learning curve of my new PC mini...
I am preparing new small works for the holidays..and preparing myself to get better!! xoxo

I am so glad you have no pain in the hip. Keep doing those exercises and when you are ready to walk distances try using hiking poles. It is what my PT recommend and they work very well for keeping you standing up straight instead of hunched over a walker or a cane. When using them I of course had to have a back pack to carry stuff but they really helped with my walking. I originally bought inexpensive from Amazon but upgraded when a progressed to trails to cork handled from the sporting goods store. More expensive but more comfortable to grip.
Really beautiful! I love the cat as well. :)
