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,
