Another Week Begins

 

I think I am coming out of a bit of a funk. I am organizing projects and purging. I just need to know that it is ok not to finish everything I have started. So I will find new homes for some of these I no longer want. I made a good start over the weekend. I worked on my Wensleydale quilt from Jen Kingwell's book Quilt Recipes. This book is just lovely and the recipes in the back look delicious. What I have decided is that I shall not make full size quilts. Lap quilts are a perfect size and perfect in our den. 

I like to fussy cut some of the centers of these blocks - not all of them but a few here and there. The word chocolate caught my eye of course. 

The flu and my falls really disrupted my creativity. Mobility was limited and access to projects was almost impossible. When we built this home my dream of a studio was realized. However, it is on the second floor. Stairs were dangerous and standing for any length of time was almost impossible.

Physical Therapy was excellent and I still do the exercises. I can walk without the Byacre Collator most of the time but still take it should we go anywhere. 

                                    

I worked on smaller projects hand sewed and quite enjoyed the process. The above shall be a pillow after I choose a backing.

The studio is next (give me strength). Jack says I have too much stuff. He is correct. 

I find that this age is a time of reflection and memories. Very soothing.
