I decided I would move anything blocking , my embroidery machine, load the patterns I purchased onto the USB drive, and do some machine embroidery.
One of the sets of patterns I bought was a set for free-standing-lace earrings. I decided this was a small enough and easy enough project that I could manage. I still can’t put more than 1/2 my weight onto my Erector Set Foot. But I can take a shower by myself and I can use the Big Girl Toilet rather than the potty chair. I’m going for physical therapy and I can’t wait until I can do things again – like drive and bake.
I need to soak these in warm water so the water soluble stabilizer disappears. Then, I need to hope I can get near the tool box with my earring findings so I can turn these into earrings.
This was going to be a pair of earrings, but I ran into difficulty making the second one. So it’s a pendant.
I decided to take a little walk to see how the irises are coming along. I had to fold up the walker to get it out of the sliding glass door. Then, I needed to navigate around rocks, art and plants to get to the iris. All that, and the new iris aren’t blooming yet. Last fall, I happened to be at the mall when the local iris society had a sale.
Here’s one of the irises we’ve had blooming since we moved in 24 years ago.
I’ve had a couple Spoonflower sales this week. I wish I could see what people make from fabric printed with my designs.
Passover starts at sundown tomorrow (April 12) when we celebrate freedom. May you have a joyous, enlightening Passover.
