stretch, massage, stretch and stretch again

Remember this from 2013? I wish I didn’t have to review all this, but needs must!

I’m not liking the way the ankle is feeling. It’s just not healing in the way I expect. So, I’ve spent way too much time thinking about that and so have not been thinking about organ music, tatting, or the more satisfying parts of my life. In review, I did heal and get back to a passable level of physical health. I can do this!!

What have I spent time on?

Samples of my Ice Drop project for next month. Finding copies of music for colleagues.  And resting the foot and ankle. Oh, and attending a fabulous concert.( Preview on Pg. 27). Here's the link to the review: http://www.peninsulareviews.com/2019/01/10/organist-jonathan-dimmock-at-st-dunstans-episcopal-church/

I’m off to stretch the foot and massage the tension away. After washing the hands, I’ll be working on more New Year projects.

Ankle still healing with a bruise on the foot to boot

I’m wondering if I need to resurrect the boot I used when I broke my foot several years ago. Thing is, It’s not good for my knees and hips to walk in the boot. I’m still hoping things calm down enough and I can begin walking again. More than just trekking up and down the stairs that is.

I’ve been tidying the studio and study lately. I’ve finished off a couple of projects. Mostly mending and sorting and stowing things in a better way. I have several gifts almost ready, so the Holiday season will be less hectic. I know, I say that every year just about. I really think it’ll happen this year.

Next week I’ll be working on relearning Inkscape so that I can diagram the patterns I’ve done lately. Almost have enough for a collection. I will be releasing some of them as they aren’t strictly patterns from my core portfolio idea. Look for them in January.

Sacred Threads Canvas done

With the summer heat, I’ve not been tatting much in the afternoons. So, I’ve chosen to spend more time stitching my chair canvas for Sacred Threads. In fact, the canvas is finished! Whew!!!!!

Now, it’s off to the upholsterers. Pictures will be posted after it gets back.

In case you’re wondering why the long silence on the blog, it’s been priorities. I am walking now. Exercises take up several hours a day. It’s uncomfortable to sit at a desk for long, and my laptop battery was showing its age. Plus, I had all the stuff we brought back from my Mom’s house to go through and find a place for in our house.

All that combined left little time for scanning and writing and posting. But, I should be back to normal now. All right, what passes for normal with me, hehehe
