CRUMBY DAYS

 
I've been sewing in little
dribs and drabs..
A N D 
Since I am still
feeling "crummy"
👵😭😟😢

I thought I would sew some crumbs up
to try to continue on my
emptying scrap bags 
journey...


I can sit for just a little
while and at least pair up
the next crumby
groupings...

*********************
I am 
Still letting my strained glutes, calf 
and ankle heal up before I
begin any PT sessions...

[I won't be  returning to the original
PT group...]

I guess strains take quite a while
to heal up....

S I G H !!😔😒😞

A big thank you going out to you all
for your kind wishes and
thoughts...they
are much appreciated...
💖💖💖

Hugs, Julierose,

GARDEN?? et al

 
This Caladmium (?sp)
came out after our 6"+
of rain the other day...
I love love love
those colors...

It appears that perhaps
more leaves will be
coming out.
Y E S !!

I don't know if they should be taken in
over the winter months--
they are in a clay pot right now...
It took all summer for them to bloom--
or leaf out...;))
AND....
↧↧↧↧

and I took some cuttings
from my old Hoya plant
early in the summer--
and they have really taken pretty
well outdoors on my shaded
front stoop...
they will definitely come in for 
Winter...
***********************
It seems that I have taken a big step
backwards on my PT !!
😰😰😲😭
this weekend 
So
I am on
Rest and a few stretches only..
You know, pain is no fun!!
D U H !

**********************
At least the Dutch Grand Prix 
will be broadcast on "F1"
channel tomorrow and Sunday; 
so that gives me something
to watch and look forward to...

 I am hoping against hope
that PT will solve this
sciatica problem...
;(((

WHEN TIMES ARE TOUGH...

 
                                                              The tough eat chocolate...
                                                              ;))))
                                                             👴👵
                                   Tom went food shopping for us today
                                    and brought back this "feel good"
                                                      treat for me...
                                           What a sweetheart 💑
*****************************************************
                                     No sewing today; just reading
                                          Hugs, Julierose,

AUTUMN BOUNTY , et al

 
Autumn Bounty 
string blocks...
pinned up on my wall.

I am still working with leftover 
strips and orts in my
orange, green and brown
scrap bags...
They don't seem to get smaller!!!
😳😳😳

This pear fabric was the 
springboard for these blocks...
This will be my September hand
quilting project as soon
as I can get the
blocks together and layered..
 
Such a pretty fabric
↡↡↡↡↡
I love its soft
painterly texture....
')))

************************
FYI: I am still going 
through PT sessions...
hanging in there--but am still
having painful bouts...
Yesterday's session left me 
unable to walk without pain
👾
Soooo, 
This morning, Tom drove me to 
the Clinic for my annual
blood tests..
ugh...
[I hate not being independent !!]
I am very fortunate that he 
is such a sweetheart;)))
💕💕💕
***********************
I put Falling Leaves on the shelf
for the time being as I really
am limited to how much I can 
actually sit and sew...
those long rows are a bit
much to handle right now...
****************************
So, what do you do when you are
sidelined like this???
💁👵
Hmmmm...

Perhaps do a little bit of
fabric enhancement?

I hope to be able to hand quilt this
lovely fabric in the near future...
I am pondering threads
while I sit and sip my morning 
coffee....
The colors I am leaning toward all
seem to be in the Autumnal mode...
*****************************
I hope you are staying safe,
avoiding close contact, and 
wearing your masks inside--
the variant is out there....
💀👹👾
