I also love the scraps. They are looking great. I am wondering how they will look after they have been more work on them.Edith Bieri-Hanselmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13558793158102538239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-37918449217160222432017-07-19T17:43:16.765-04:002017-07-19T17:43:16.765-04:00Hi Linda, I sure hated to hear of your carpal tunn...Hi Linda, I sure hated to hear of your carpal tunnel. I cant imagine going an entire month without doing some kind of sewing. The ukulele group looks like so much fun!

I'm replying here, hoping you read it, as you're a no-reply commenter, so I'm unable to send you a private email response. I appreciate knowing that acupuncture is an option. While the thought of it makes me fell like swooning, if that's what my doc recommended, I would sure do it. In the meantime, I do think my wrist is improving. I'm definitely not getting little zings of pain as I did a couple weeks ago. I'll keep taking my drug and "being good." I'm scheduled to teach free motion quilting workshops three times in August, and I don't want anything to get in the way of that important (and fun!) task. :-) I also appreciate your lovely compliment about my blog. Thank you! It's very nice of you to say so!FlourishingPalmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191140553844000267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-83204864094402071882017-07-18T09:01:39.398-04:002017-07-18T09:01:39.398-04:00Linda, I hope you wrist recovers quickly. You may...Linda, I hope you wrist recovers quickly. You may want to add "complementary" medicine -- acupuncture. It really helped me get over a neck injury! I do know how frustrating it is not to be able to do your quilting and sewing - had a broken knee and was in a straight cast and could not bend my leg. Ugh! I love your blog - thanks for the info on the leftovers quilt. Love it and going to try it.lauraochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211388590754671897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-53658800262454557652017-07-18T03:13:22.626-04:002017-07-18T03:13:22.626-04:00The epi-pen bag was a great idea!

The number of students who have analyphalaxis is growing enormously here. I am so sorry to hear the recovery time has been pushed back again. Could you do some quilt designing on your computer? Does that need both hands? What about long, leisurely early morning walks before the heat, and lazy afternoon naps? I'm not sure how I'd cope. Prayers for a speedy recovery!

Yep, I sure do eat, but it's too easy to overindulge on his good food. I am most certainly walking, for an hour on the days I don't line dance. As for kayaking, I've never tried it. This probably isn't a good time to take up something new. Wouldn't I need to clutch an oar? It's the wqueezing that makes my wrist hurt. I appreciate your suggestion, though! Thanks for trying to help out!

One pen is used to train someone how to use the pen. One pen is the good one with an unexpired date. And just in case, an expired pen is there too. These pens are extremely expensive, and have a short shelf life, so rather than toss it, she's using it as a back-up. So, three pens in one bag that goes wherever Luke goes.

I broke my toe and cannot play Pickleball, the only thing that keeps me sane besides quilting, for six weeks. I tore ligaments and muscle damage!

I do know how you feel -- it's awful awful awful that someone like you, with all those talents, has to spend a month reading and socializing with her quilt group, instead of digging in to tackle all those projects you have in mind. Can you head to some museums? Take a trip or two? I remember that exquisite itinerary you had for Di, and hope that you could borrow some of those stops now, as you need some distraction. I send along healing wishes, and sing-a-longs (with no playing), and maybe some movies?OPQuilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622702911207665333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-35230821923801148072017-07-17T16:06:55.961-04:002017-07-17T16:06:55.961-04:00That's a lot to show from a woman who can'...That's a lot to show from a woman who can't work at her machine!

I guess a good time for reading, Bible study, support operations like picture-taking at your groups as you did with the Improv class. At least you can attend and happily sing along with the Uke group. But yes, you must feel "out there" in Mars! Hope things improve rapidly.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432818284701098002noreply@blogger.com
