It seems the dread has become reality







I have been fighting and hoping that surgery on rotator cuff would not happen.  Looks like it will anyway!  Nearly a year since the incident and the left arm has gotten worse.  Constant pain, decreased movement, the list goes on..........

So, I will be in a cast/sling for at least 3 to 6 weeks ...won't really know till the surgery.  I put it off till right before holidays in December.

My dawling, well, he thinks he will be helping etc etc...but the reality, not so much.  My sweet son #3 he will be my "nurse"!  We are already developing a plan of action.  It is the clothing situation...will not be able to move the arm so am thinking of getting a big garbage bag, cutting a hole for the head and the right arm...what do you think?  They come in all forms of colors...I could get Holiday saran wrap and put on my feet...festive...No?   I have time I could sew a garbage bag....BLAH!

Baltimore album

We had a wonderful getaway.....NOT long enough!   I fell in love with the quilt at Winterthur in Delaware

And....I could not contain myself...yes...I bought the pattern...I love piecing by hand....no machine...me...the needle...fabric and scissors.  I hope to start soon but then who am I fooling...I have 50 million rugs to hook and 10 million quilts to do...........one can dream! More pictures






The last is the best.....I love my dawling so much...he planned this for me...everything that I would love.  Everything!!! Old historic mansions, textiles, beautiful gardens, hand holding walks......even with my gimp leg and shoulder!
