I LIKE Thursday #285

 



The 4th is behind us. But we can celebrate this birthday all year. We’ve had some political election signs up for a while. But this week they have grown by leaps and bounds. These midterms are serious business here In Wyoming. 


Last Wednesday I went back to the orthopedic clinic for a recheck. They did X-rays again. Now they can’t really see any break. I can remove my brace when I’m resting and not too active, next week they will give me a PT referral. I have good movement, but not much strength. PT will help, I hope!. 


I was able to hold a hoop and needle & thread for short periods this week. Putting the finishing white stitches in WIP Sweetly Sayin’, was accomplished. It’s done now except for date and signature.


Also some stitches were put into 4th of July. After today,  I’ll put this in rotation, and work on something different. Another neutral string block, maybe, and start gathering  2 1/2” aqua squares. 



This really got neglected after my fall. Oh well!


The bathroom(s) remodel is slowly taking shape. The hall bathroom is usable now, with the exception of a mirror and paint and final light fixture. Our daughter is coming to visit and celebrate her granddaughter’s 10th birthday, tomorrow through Monday. So I’ll put my stand mirror in  that bathroom temporarily. 



I’m looking forward to her visit and the birthday party that is planned. I hope I remember to take some photos.  I’m not good at that, I get caught up in the party/🎉🥳😄


One last hint to share: Tuesday late afternoon, Mr Busy and I were enjoying some time on the back deck. We went in to fix supper and then were hit with a good old fashioned thunderstorm. All this leads to the fact that my homemade table toppers  were soaked and left there overnight. They looked like this. 





I took them to the washer and did a 30 min soar in warm water and a squirt of Dawn platinum. When the cycle was done, they looked like this. I am very pleased. Thanks Marva for the hint!. 




Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!




PS: forgot to publish yesterday! OMGOSH  I’m getting so forgetful!

I LIKE THURSDAY #284


 I need this reminder every once in a while. I’ve been AWOL for a bit.


LeAnna’s conversation starters for the last couple of weeks. So I’ll answer them all here.

would you rather be swinging in a hammock outside or digging in your garden

Definitely I’d choose the hammock.

what are your fave flowers to grow or put in hanging baskets ? petunias. In the past I’ve grown some: 







June25 2026


did you go to the beach as a child? did you like to collect shells? build a sand castle? have a favorite swimsuit or toy?

If no beach, did you go to a lake or river? 
No beaches in South Dakota or Wyoming. We played in creeks and small lakes. Some lakes had man-made beaches. We thought they were fun. No seashells though. 

Mostly I’ve been overwhelmed by puppy care. She chewed the cord on my floor lamp. We haven’t replaced it. So not much stitching. 

Monday, I walked again with my friend. We have  a small lake in the middle of our town. There is a wide concrete walking path around the perimeter. It is 1.1 miles. Monday while looking at the geese that live around there, I tripped on a broken slab of the walkway. Full face plant!
Monday after being in the ER. ⤴️ and ⤵️
 

By Tuesday it looked like this. ⤵️

Today I saw the orthopedic PA.  My arm will not require surgery , but my elbow is broken. A slight fracture of the neck of the bone there. So now I am in a different contraption. 






I won’t be able to hold a hoop for some time. We will see if the sewing machine is compatible. I am glad I won’t need surgery. I’m thankful for a friend who stayed with me all the way to the hospital. I’m glad for an attentive and qualified Emergency Staff. 

Not a lot to be happy about, but a few. We had Show and Tell,last week at Thursday Stitchers. 

Marva is a new cross stitcher, but an accomplished embroidery stitcher. She’s getting good at cross-stitch. 

She also made a tall narrow bag to carry her Z-frame , shown above.⤴️


Jean sewed up this gorgeous quilt top then ….

Used scraps to make a puffy pillow top. 

We are sooooo creative!.
