Not much ....

...........going on today, I was able to do some more hand sewing on the wall hanging yesterday, and should be able to complete the top tonight and then start putting on the borders. I have a good idea as to the quilting i am going to do, so its coming along nicely.

After a night of high winds, we have a dull damp day, with the promise of late day sun, we will see how accurate the weather forecast is.

Have a great Tuesday,
Patricia

Health Care Workers

If you have been reading my earlier entries you know that my OH was in hospital. He is now at home, and is having to use a walker once in awhile, and cannot change his position from laying, sitting and standing by himself. He is 6ft and me just 5 ft. so you can imagine what I have to do to get him moved. I know the correct way to move him, however, the muscles I didn't even know I had are shouting at me.

To all of the health care workers out there, I have a new found respect for the work that you do. Especially if your job description has these words in it, " assist patients moving from one position to another". Thank you.

I am getting quite a bit accomplished on a wall hanging that I am currently doing, so that is a good thing.

My Great grandson, Mum and Dad visited us last night, our first meeting with the little fellow, he is such a sweetie, will have to post a photo later.

We are back to seasonable temperatures today, with possible mixed precipitation showers.
Have a great Sunday,

Mother & Child

I have been working on a wall hanging that I am calling Mother & Child. It is another project that is going into a competition in May of this year.
It is all hand stitching at the present time, and if time permits I will quilt it by hand otherwise will have to do it on the machine.
After having two glorious days of record breaking temperatures, we are now back to cloudy skies and single digit temperatures. Some showers are in the forecast so they should give the plant life a good drink and then they will start growing.
Have a great day.

OH home...

from the hospital, however, having quite a bit of trouble getting around, so he has to use a walker. Don't know if this is a result of the problems he had on Sunday, staying in bed for 4 1/2 days in hospital, or something else.

Scheduled for more tests next week, so time will tell.

I was able to do some hand stitching on a wall hanging that I am doing for an upcoming competition, that made me feel better.

Another beautiful sunny day, however, out unseasonable warm weather will be coming to an end tomorrow with rain in the forecast and seasonable temp.s

Hope everyone is having a great day.

A movie star????

My son has been unemployed for approximately six months, however, recently he called to say he has a new job.
Sounding very excited he advised his Dad and I that he was finally in "show business", namely in the movies.
Now we were wondering what talent he would have to be in the movies, as we have never seen any indication of any. He was not particularly show biz material, other than getting dressed up as some of his favorite movies stars on Halloween, such as the Blues Brothers and Sir Elton John.
Finally he tells us that he is working for Blockbuster, we think, Oh no! he is one of the counter staff that says "Hi, how are you, welcome to Blockbuster" when you go into the store. As it turns out he is a Systems Analyst, for Blockbuster Canada.
I guess we know what we will be getting for Christmas this year, Blockbuster gift cards.
Not much quilting stuff going on yet.

I have flowers.......

...... crocus and daffodils are blooming in my garden. There was also a chipmunk eating some seed from underneath our bird feeder, so he/she is out of hibernation. It must be Spring.

OH is still in hospital but now out of ICU. The Dr's are now saying they believe his problems were caused by low blood sugar (he is diabetic), however, I am having a hard time agreeing with them. But then, what do I know, they are the experts.

Not much sewing being done, soon I will be having withdrawal symptoms and will have to get a fix. Maybe tonight when I get home from the hospital.
Hope everyone is having a great day.

Plans were changed

Yesterday we had planned a visit to see our new baby, however, OH had a dizzy spell and collapsed on the bathroom floor. The day then went from bad to worse, I won't go into details, called an ambulance took him to hospital, tests and more tests, and at present he is in ICU.
Short and sweet today.
