By the Fireplace is a pattern by a local designer, Barb of Coach House Designs. She actually is located only a few blocks from my home. It was designed using Aspen Frost by Basic Grey, and Hamels has several kits with this original fabric in it. I couldn't resist after seeing the original on display as I entered Hamels, so I bought the kit!
Since I was babysitting my grandson, I decided to wait until evening to sew, and we set about starting to decorate. Unfortunately, I had an accident and ended up here:
Thank goodness my daughter Sarah was visiting and was able to help me out of the house and to the hospital. I'll be spending the next little while on the sofa like this:
Of course, it had to be my "driving" leg. Nothing was broken on the X-ray, but until the swelling goes down, they can't tell what kind of damage I did to my knee. It seems to involve the lateral collateral ligament and possibly the meniscus, and hopefully is only a sprain and not a tear. Since it's been two days, and I still can't put any weight on it, I'm not optimistic. This is how I'll be spending the week until my doctor can check me out on Friday when the swelling will hopefully be down. Luckily, I can still work from home so I won't lose any pay.

Until I can find a way to prop my leg up and sit at a table to cut and sew, I'm stalled so nothing to do but surf the net and dream! (and knit, and hand-sew). I found this new-to-me blog, Crazy Quilter on a Bike, who is going to do Motivational Mondays throughout 2017, and will also share tips on how she going to make changes to manage her UFOs, sewing space and keep herself accountable. I for one find that blogging helps me stay motivated and I am pledging to blog at least 3 times a week, even if I am the only one to read it!
Linking up to: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2016/12/mystery-monday-link-up-part-2.html and hope to join back in next week!
Oh, no!!! And right before Christmas! Do you have any hand work you can do? I hope you recover very quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kimberly! Yes, I have handwork, knitting and I've also put cleaning out my computer on my list. I'm off to the doctor's today, and of course, it had to snow (which is rare in my corner of Canada)!
