Just call me "Grace"
Last Tuesday I wasn't paying attention and tripped, falling with my full weight on my right knee. My leg broke just below the knee. It's not a bad break, as breaks go. If I can avoid falling again or doing something else to make it worse before my next appointment on the 17th, I probably won't need surgery. In the meantime, I'm learning a whole new set of skills, like moving from a wheelchair to anything else without bending or putting weight on my right leg. No sewing has taken place since last Tuesday.

Disruptions
Life certainly does not go on as usual when the interior of a house is getting painted! Our painter is working very hard to make the process as painless as possible, but there seem to be continual questions to answer and decisions to make. So, except for brief excursions for meals, we’ve tried to have one of us present all the time she is working. My sewing room was the second room to be addressed and it is the most crowded room in the house.
Here are some of the items that had to be moved out in order
for her to work.
The room finally became functional again Friday and I
managed to add seven 16-patch blocks to the ones already completed. I understand the new paint needs to age a
little before using Command Strip hangers, so the design board is propped against
the wall. Otherwise, things are pretty
much back to normal there.
Good thing, too. My
husband says sewing does for me what beer does for others, and I definitely am
needing it through this process.
