The Saga Continues

Just a quick update post surgery. According to my surgeon all went well. The severed ligament was reattached and anchored firmly. The tears in the other ligaments were repaired and my rotator cuff is as smooth as a really fine piece of fabric. My surgeon’s wife is a quilter so he knew what to sayContinueContinue reading “The Saga Continues”

September OMG

My September will start with surgery on my rotator cuff to repair the torn and severed ligaments that were damaged when I moved us last October to our sweet little apartment. As I was cleaning and doing laundry to get ready for Tuesday’s surgery, I realized that although I have finished 343 quilts in theContinueContinue reading “September OMG”

Another Experience

This past week has been a busy one; a little sewing, a little canning, a little writing and a lot of medical stuff. Two hours drive one way gets me to Trail. I’ve been there 3 times this week; surgeon appointment, pre-surgery check in and today an MRI. I was in Nelson which is oneContinueContinue reading “Another Experience”

August Update

This month is turning out to be just plain weird! I’ve had successes with finishing some projects, getting sidetracked with Squirrels and too much time spent on medical stuff!

Another Weird Adventure!

Last Tuesday I left home at 8:00 to make my 9:00 physio appointment in Nelson. After working with Stu for an hour, I had some errands and a quick stop at the fabric shop in Nelson before I headed to Castlegar. There I had banking and errands for DH to do. By this time it’sContinueContinue reading “Another Weird Adventure!”

Sweet Sunday Sewing, Or Not?

This morning I got up bright and early hoping to see sunshine or the possibility of blue skies to be able to take pictures of some almost finished or finished projects. It was not to be as the grey skies and many grey clouds showed that today would likely be another wet one. I’m notContinueContinue reading “Sweet Sunday Sewing, Or Not?”

Finally this little man was brought into our world at 9:20 this morning. Isn’t he just the cutest little bundle of joy? The doctors had warned us the little man would only be about 5 lbs.

Life Takes Another Turn

The exercise regime that DH and his doctors and therapists have settled on for the next two weeks is having great results. He is walking better, his shoulders are almost level and his range of motion is increasing. Yesterday he reached the point where he was able to do a full hour of activity withoutContinueContinue reading “Life Takes Another Turn”

Happy New Year

I’m hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas filled with family, great food, fun times and perhaps even some time to fondle fabric. Mine was an unusual one this year. We left home on a rainy, slushy morning and headed to Sandpoint to spend some time with DH’s wonderful sister in law for her birthday.ContinueContinue reading “Happy New Year”

I didn’t get much sewing done over the weekend, between a 75th birthday party for DH’s ex father in law ( we had the best time and even got to see the American contingent of the family!) and our annual Christmas party at the Slocan Valley Threads Guild monthly meeting. I did get to eatContinueContinue reading “Productive Monday”
