WALKING, et al

 
I am finally able to walk
for short bits...
Hurrah!!!!

Here is my Shadow Self
walking down our front path...

F Y I :
I had my epidural shot last
Tuesday afternoon 
and so I was pretty much
immobile until today.

{It was a LOT more painful than
I expected, but I got through it!!}

Shoes on, heavy coat and
S U N S H I N E 
compelled me to begin
my route back to walking...

It is so wonderful to be outside
and breathing in the fresh air
while MOVING around!!
:)))

Tom set up this chair for me
so that I can rest in between
my  short Jaunts :D

↡↡↡↡
Right by our front garden spot

************************
AND:
Hello fellow knitters!!
Look at how far I've gotten!!

I have reached the spot right
before I begin to turn my heel
on the 2nd sock of this pair...
E X C I T I N G !!
😀😊😍
******************************
AND

I took out my little bin of
cut-off 1/2 sq triangles and
began to lay out  a little
fun zig-zag pattern...
Gosh, I love how it looks!!
So scrappy...

As soon as I can sit and sew
I will be putting them together...

AND

Here are some paired and ready to be sewn together...
I really am hoping to get these sewn
this weekend???I know I have
to go slowly, but I am very encouraged
after this shot--hoping, fingers crossed,
etc, etc...
👍👵💗
that I will continue to improve--

[It has been such a long 
7 months of pain
and distress...I truly
would not wish this on anyone!!]
*******************************
HERE IS...TAH-DAH

MY LITTLE BOX
which
has sat beside me all 
throughout this 
challenging journey--
AND 
here is what I've managed to
 hand sew:
👏👏👏
I had (luckily) pre cut
these with my Go! Baby
die cutter before this all
happened..

{These are in the "Kismet"
fabric line--which I love--
all peaches and maroons=
yummy!!}

So.....
I have quite a few
sewn and ready to
put together...

I want to cut more as 
I have still not decided
how I do want to put 
them together...
************************************
I know I promised 
NOT TO BUY
ANY NEW FABRIC THIS YEAR,
S I G H ....

but, Tom, my Sweet Baboo,
💖💝💝
 convinced me to 
purchase this lovely 
Layer Cake to lift my spirits 
a bit...
↓↓↓

And it surely did!!
:)))

**********************
This is where I am at right now...

I have to apologize if I didn't
answer all your wonderful good wishes 
and comments --I am hoping
to be back here with some things
to show you...more often now..

Hugs and thanks to you all,
Julierose
La Blageuse

  18. I'm glad you've been feeling much better and able to get out a bit. That's huge. That is a vERY long time to be down and I'm glad there's some improvement. I'm loving your sock yarn and your quilting will be so lovely. At least you have things you can do from whatever your most comfy position is. Take care and keep on keeping on!
