This post is a day late but….
I’m home from the pacemaker pocket revision disaster. I was over medicated for the sedation and had to be given a reversal medication. Not narcan but a similar one. Dr kept me overnight to be safe since I live alone.
I have various feelings about this whole mess and life has been very stressful since the middle of March.
Many thanks for all the prayers and kind thoughts, they are greatly appreciated.

I’m looking for this pattern. This quilt top is hanging in a local sewing center but they say they lost the pattern and don’t remember it’s name. Thanks for any help you can give!

My friends son is running for State Representative so I knit her a patriotic shawl for the primary election. He won so on to the general election in November.

Knitting at 3:50 am because I couldn’t sleep. I was using a headlight lamp and looked up to see my knitting shadowing on the wall

Why yes, I can grow flowers in my new apartment . Although it comes with a lot of noise from the surrounding streets, my downtown apartment has a wall that is virtually all windows that face east so I decided to try to grow something-anything! Success!

Today I sewed. Last summer I came home and all my sewing and most of my knitting supplies had been moved to my storage without my knowledge or permission. Abuse comes in many forms. Not allowing a creative person to be creative is abusive. Today I sewed. And I knit. And I looked out my windows and saw the big bright moon and remembered that my God is so very good.

Look!! I’m outside on the front porch by myself for the first time in five weeks since my heart surgery and leg vein site infection . Only been to drs or hospital during that time. The sun and wind feels great! I may survive after all. Just need my hand to heal.
