It Snot What You Think!
My friend Kristy Claiborne Graves posted a picture of a "yarn keeper" made by Lucky Stradley on Facebook the other day. I thought this was a riot and wanted to make one for myself.

The Big Reveal
Life Book 2015, Week 16, led by Alena Hennessy. We are to create a background for a journal page using five colors and limit ourselves to 10 minutes.
Of course, I had to draw something on this crazy background!
On Friday I had arthroscopic surgery on my left knee. Tomorrow (Monday) the bandage comes off - so glad! My knee is stiff and sore.

Things happen...
My doctor said no more power walking until my stress fracture has healed. He did say I could swim (I haven't gotten into a bathing suit in years!) OR ride a bike. Oh joy - I can still exercise daily. I usually only ride my bike on Sundays. I planned a new route (no hills) and started riding as soon as I could after the sun came up. I enjoyed my new route for 4 days and then a flat tire - aach!! Luckily Richard fixed it for me so I can go out again tomorrow morning.
The quilt I am working on was ready to be quilted. I actually started the quilting - before long the bobbin tension was acting crazy. Unsewing is NOT something I like to do! I tried everything to get the tension right - finally decided it was time to take my beloved machine into be serviced.
It's always something - right?!

Stressed Out!
While in Mexico, I twisted my leg walking down a steep cobblestoned street. This happened in January. The pain in my knee just did not go away - finally in March I went to see a sports medicine doctor.
The news was not good. It could have been a lot worse - I know this, but ugh the thought of surgery - even arthroscopic surgery gives me the willies. Walking daily is a big part of my life. I love my morning walks. I have to cut back on the mileage until the stress fracture heals. There will be some down time too with the surgery...it makes me tired just thinking about it.
