Day 5......

Good Evening Internet Friends.

Another uneventful and kind of long day as there are things I would like to do but my hand just will not cooperate with me.  It is getting better, the swelling is decreasing and I have some movement to my 4th and 5th digits.  I am also getting better at protecting the area and not reaching for and grabbing objects with my right hand.  😃

I found a Flock of Geese Block on my desk that I actually finished last week before my injury "sew" I took a picture of it and will post it today....better late than never I guess....

TAH DAH.

Might try knitting with larger and straight knitting needles tomorrow and see how that works. 

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Day 4.......

Good Evening Internet Friends 😸

Attended the Creativfestival today.  Got my hand bumped a lot so was not really feeling especially creative.  Got a meter of sheep cotton and a couple of buttons as nothing else sparked my interest.

Had a nap before dinner and that is the extent of my day.

After dinner again attempted to do a bit of quilting as today is time for the second scrap star block:

TAH DAH....

I had all of the pieces cut so assembly was not too hard but getting the perfect 1/4" seam started with only one hand and a pokey finger from the pressure bandage proved challenging and now my hand hurts.  "Sew" that will be all for today. 😕

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Day 3....

Good Looooong Evening Internet Friends!

Nothing exciting at all today.  

Stopped by a quilt shop this morning after dropping my son off at school.  Then had a nap, lunch and read a book my colleague brought over for me and watched a wee bit of tele.

After dinner this evening I thought I would try and see if I could do some quilting with my paw.....

TAH DAH.

With a lot of Ouch and Ewwweee I managed to sew (not well mind you) six pre cut strips on to a fussy cut block.  

I give up for today.  Maybe tomorrow my hand will be all healed....😿

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Back 2 School

Good Evening Internet Friends!

It seems that summer is officially over as today was back to school for my son.  I cannot believe that my little teeny tiny preemie is going in to Grade 8 🏫🎒

Up early to get the new school routine in .  Pancakes, poached egg and strawberry/raspberry/blueberry smoothies.  My son thought he hit the jack pot 🥞.  Lunch was packed and contained Sugar Cookies that we made yesterday:

I found the ABC/123 sprinkles in the cupboard and decided they were a perfect addition to the cookies.  

After dropping off my son at school I went to see my physician.  Three days post injury, ice, pain medications and my hand still really hurts.  Good news:  no fractures in my hand.  Still have sturdy bones.  🥛  Bad news:  I have a "VERY bad" sprain of my pinky finger and wrist.  As such I am now wearing a slab, fingers are buddy taped and all wrapped up in pressure bandage.  Worse yet news: I cannot go to work because my hand is all wrapped up and poses risk for hand hygiene/infection control.  This also means that I need to find things to do a home with minimal hand use.  😿

Being at home with absolutely nothing to do I have discovered is ridiculously boring!!!!   I decided that I could make a couple of birthday cards this afternoon so that is what I did:

Took a long time to do this and hand hurt afterwards.  Drat.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
