February 24

This has been occupying a lot of my time...below is what it is supposed to look like when finished.

I work on it in minutes here and there.  My back/hip is 'out of order' and I have not been doing much of anything.  I go to the chiropractor tomorrow.  Hoping he can help me without having to go too many times.   I was just walking to take the garbage out and felt my hip twinge week before last.  It has gradually gotten worse...I am taking ibuprofen faithfully.

Though standing and walking really irritates my hip, I did stand and cut a few more of the 6½ squares from the old flannel shirts.  I am trying to make up my mind whether to just sew them randomly or to try to have some sort of order to them.  Whatever I do, it is not going to be a pretty quilt.  I am going for warm, and comfy and one I don't mind if the cats lay on.

That is it for now...I hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

Stitch therapy....

Today was a step forward for us...we actually got out and went to Walmart and picked up things we needed/wanted.   We had to go ALL.OVER.the STORE.  But we both did pretty good,  though we were both sure ready to get home when we did.

Roger carried in most of the bags, and I put away things.  By then I was ready to sit for a bit...got my second wind and wanted to sew.  I knew I was not good for going downstairs and standing and cutting.  But I knew I would be good to sew a few lines up here.  So I made a couple string blocks.  They are mindless and do not require exact sewing.   In the photo above I am putting the final piece on one.

I make them by just sewing random strips/scraps together.  Some people will choose a color palatte but I never have.  Though I think one with chosen colors might be in my future.  Anyway, above is one before it is trimmed to size.

And above and below they have been trimmed to 6½ inches in size.

It felt good to do something normal...good health means everything.   I hope your day was a good one...

Wondering when

I, actually both of us have been sick since Tuesday....we have not left the house in days.  I am wondering when I will ever feel like sewing again.  I have not been on this computer in days.  That says I am really, really sick to not be on it.  I have been on my phone and tablet a bit, but even those not much at all.

Hoping we can be more back to normal next week.
