JOY TIMES TWO, et al

 
I started my 2nd Joy Banner
stoday...

I found that  bare trees fabric
from an old Ghastlie line
in my deep stash...
[click above to see the pretty 
snowflake batik
come to life]
:)))

And I set up
↓↓↓
" O "
 
{"O Tannenbaum" was
running through my
head while I set
this up}

I have this set up on an old plastic
serving tray with an orange pattern
so it looks a bit strange...

but it is more in the mint green
 turquoise color range...

*********************
This morning, 
my πŸ‘΄Sweet Baboo πŸ‘΄ took
me for a ride to get out....;)))
BUT
unfortunately we spent 35 minutes in
a traffic jam because of road work
AND 
πŸ‘ΏπŸ‘Ή
because of 
those people who wouldn't pull 
over and wait--they had to
push their way ahead of
us all to the very end of the closed
lane--so
ANNOYING!! 
(comments deleted!!)

But a bonus was that 
our trees were in their
glorious Fall clothing
and just beautiful...
I felt my spirits rise
just looking at them...πŸ‘΅

**********************

I got this lovely 
Amaryllis kit--
so tomorrow I will
get this planted...
How pretty is this one...
πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–

****************************
And.....
⇩⇩⇩
Here is my new setup
for printed cross stitching 
with clamp-on 
MAGNIFIER:
πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€
So very much easier to see...
for this ancient one's eyes..

I am making slow progress on 
this piece....

**********************
I want to 
thank you all 
for sending me good 
wishes
 for my recovery:
In that vein I
will report---
that
Today I was able to 
walk the grocery aisles
holding the cart without
pain--;))))

The only problem was
standing and waiting in line...
ooof-dah
that part still hurt!! 

But I think I am finally beginning 
to see improvement...
perhaps turning the 
corner...

Hugs,
