Starting to feel a little less crazy for undertaking the challenge of 10 quilts in 6 months roughly. But we do still need to cut out my dad's and husband's quilts but, I should have my aunt's quilt laid out today and quilting commencing tomorrow torn rotator cuff or not (surgeon isn't even going to see me to correct it for another month so oh well to the pain in not going well over 3 months with only one hand that's sketchy in its abilities at best)

Well, machine quilting is surprisingly simple, quick and oddly hypnotic... even with pretty much only one hand to guide the material. I do have to use my right hand a bit but just to keep the fabric rolled up to the inside of the sewing arm so it shouldn't injure my torn shoulder especially with plenty of breaks. So far on the actual quilt I've only done kind of wavy lines, but in the could of practices beforehand I was able to do circles and shapes with the freehand foot too so here's hoping I'll continue to gain proficiency before I'm through with the quilts

[IMG]IMG_0454 by erin_lindsey_o, on Flickr[/IMG] I'm going to need more yarn. At least one more ball. I didn't think I'd like this yarn as much as I do. Hope they still have this color at the store.

That is coming out sooooooo beautifully! And looks like it will be quite toasty and warm too
And as a small side note... less than a month away from getting my baclofen pump!!! Oct 5th is pre-op and then the 13th (Friday the 13th lol) will be my surgery.... I'm soooooo excited and hopeful that this is something that will FINALLY work, if not... I really don't know what's left aside from Mary Jane or Jamieson

I might be moving. I'm going to need to inventory my yarn and see what might be getting donated to the ladies at the rest home I put my mom into on wednesday.
and I have a huge stash of fabric from my slight flirtation I had with sewing and quilting. (I was working at a Walmart in the fabric department, and a Hobby Lobby that year). I have to decide if I want to take my fabric stash. Not sure yet if I really am moving, but it's possible. Hope I have room for my yarn. My yarn is very important to me.

I'm a bit of a hoarder myself, so it's kind of driving me nuts to downsize things right now. My aunt is helping me to clean out my parent's closets. She's keeping me from saving everything. That's not so bad when it's my mom and dad's stuff, but when it's mine. Eeeek!!
I'm not sure yet about moving. My mom saw in the brochure for the place she's at that they have apartments that family members can rent. So she asked me to look into it.

I just finished the solid red scarf I was working on. Got done around midnight last night. All I have to do is weave in the yarn tails, of which there are only two. The one I started with, and the one I ended with. I'll take a picture later and post it.
I had to go get another skein of the purpleish colored yarn that I'm crocheting a scarf out of. I didn't have enough of it. It was on sale today at Joann's Crafts, so I went and got another two skeins, and bought two more skeins of another color because I thought it looked cool. So, I guess I'm about to start another scarf.
