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,

👧

Amazing 

Dawn

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

AND...

What is

cached in this little cute bag

do you think.....

Hmmmmm..???

I am using this old stashed yarn

to make myself 

THESE

cuties😁

⇓⇓⇓

My favorite socks and

also

the very first pair I ever made...

using this pattern...

the booklet is really a fun

read, too..

I've gotten cast on and 

this far....

These will have a 

K2P2 cuff about 8" long

{I had to rip them out 

3 times before I re-

membered how I used to

do that first joining round--

and Rosemary, thank you for

the little hint;))}

Such a pretty and 

squishy, soft

yarn.

Earlier this morning Tom

drove me to Big Y for our

weekly shopping...

so that is done!! 

Hugs to all,

SNOWY SUNDAY; COLD FEET EDITION

Are your feet always C O L D?  Mine sure are.  So this afternoon, in honor of Slow Stitching Sunday, I have cast on for a pair of socks for myself. 

 It took me a while to recall just how to work on DPN's (double pointed needles) so that my stitches weren't all twisted but resulted in knitting in the round -- been many years...but it came back to me!!  YAY!! 

I love this variegated yarn..browns, blues, turquoises,,,and I am making them roomy so that 
my tootsies can breathe in bed.  These will be bed socks....

and isn't this an adorable Ditty Bag?? I purchased it from Lowland Originals...online. 

I want to make some bigger ones for my knitting projects.  I like the drawstring because there are no zips, snaps or straps to get in the way of pulling your yarn to knit....

I am now watching the first televised RED SOX  (hah, socks  knitting while watching the SOX!!) Spring-Training  game on tv. ;--)))

that MUST mean that Spring is coming right??? Couple with "Springing" Ahead for Daylight
Savings time last night--we can at least hold out hope for warmer weather....
