nothing funny about my situation at the moment...
but i had to smile when i looked up one day in my sewing room...
and saw this lol sign...
just the happy colours in it, and what it said...
something intriguing here is happening...
my dear friend geo (no blog) is sending me little cheer up letters regularly and with each one is part of a little puzzle...mmm wonder what the end pic will be...
pic of my arm here...the purple bit went all black...a bit scary looking...
mr armchair is run off his feet caring for me and jojo...
he had a significant birthday last week and had to pick up his own birthday cake...
buy his own candles...buy his own birthday chinese dinner which he didn't like anyway...
cancel an overnight stay (yes with jojo)...
a birthday to remember...
a visit from my friend fiona (no blog) saw her bring 'round this gorgeous bunch of happy flowers and...
some slings that she made up for me...
how cool is that...
and yesterday she brought 'round a very much appreciated casserole...
what a difference that made to hubby's rather full on days...
thank you so much dear fiona...we scoffed that down and loved it...
such a thoughtful gesture and so very much appreciated...
for mr armchair's birthday we had a visit from our dear son and his partner...
they had not long ago come back from patagonia and brought back some gifts for us...
above is a tshirt for mr armchair...
a label for some handspun wool for me...
2 hunks of it....about 500g...
now i'll have to track down some patterns, thinking perhaps a vest...
they also went to tahiti and brought back for jojo this plaited leather necklace with a shell centre...
the back is held together with a shell over a loop...
meanwhile, while they were here candles were lit for a dinner that danelle (son's partner) had requested from the latest issue of delicious. magazine...i was going to make this for birthday dinner for mr armchair...
and here she is preparing a salad...
and the meal made both by danelle and james...macadamia-crusted fish with herb salad...
followed by blueberry crumble...recipe by donna hay
absolutely delicious...thank you so much danelle and james...
this won't be a regular occurence as they live 5 hours away...
these last 2 weeks have brought around lots of changes here...
the world is still going on...people are still busy...
and i feel like i have stepped aside and am a spectator...
i found these few quotes at lenna's website...
1. Life is not fair, but it is still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.3. Cry with someone. It is more healing than crying alone.
4. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But do not worry; God never blinks.
5. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
off to physiotherapy next week...so looking forward to stitching again...
and i'll never take the use of 2 arms for granted again...
