Snow and more snow

Is it snowing outside my window or what!!  Can't hardly see our neighbours. We have 3to4 inches and it is still coming. Our son is here for skiing and he wanted powder and he got it. Went for my shiatsu treatment today and it was wonderful. Have to venture out for my daily walk and am a little hesitant as we are on a country road and I may not be seen, it is that thick. Found my granddaughter'a blue fairy wallhanging that needs thread painting and completion. I think as the weeks go by  I will be finding all kinds of projects that have been calling  waiting for me to get well enough to complete. Anxious and thrilled to be putting these tasks to rest and see what new projects I can tackle. I will end today with this quote: "tough times never last, tough people do."

Another day

Well, I am walking and today did it all by myself. My husband and I have been walking slowly for the last week which he thinks is great as I use to walk at a gallop. I 'm not going far but it is a start and feels so good. I am trimming my grandson's quilt and getting ready to put on the binding and then going to tackle finishing a wallhanging that I did in a workshop over a year ago with Fujiki, an oriental work. Also playing with a new technique with my cards. And organizing my great sewing room as it has been the dumping ground for the last year . Amazing how mush was put in there without you even knowing it. The sun is shinnig and so am I.

Almost a year gone by and it wasn't fun

Can't believe a year has passed me by  and have done no quilting ,cards knitting. Time to dust off the sewing maching ,the stamps and the knitting needles and get down to some serious doings. As most of you know it has been a year of poor health with lyme, MCS, gout, to name a few. Put I am finally feeling like the ol' Diane . Made a quilt for my youngest grandson last Spring and just couldn't manage quilting it. Had an Amish lady hand quilt it this winter and I have the huge job of binding it. Just kidding. Will get this in the working and get it sent out west with a pillow case to go with it. I have so much to get caught up on. Being a couch potato for a year isn't the greatest of hobbies. So glad I am about to bannish that . I have a wealth of quilts waiting for me to attack and with open arms but in moderation. I still have me to look after and through much councelling have learned I am important and have to look after me . 
 It is a beaufitful, bright ,sunny day and I am going to take advantage of that right now with alittle walk down my road. It has to open up to me once again. Have a great  Family Day.
