Changes

I wanted to post this update to respond to many nice inquiries about how I was doing.   I am doing just fine, recovering as quickly as one can after what I've been through.   My husband and I are in the process of moving so sewing is on the far back burner.  


I switched my blog to private for a while because I just didn't feel like dealing with the kids in the playground the internet has become.   I did get part of my sewing room set up this afternoon.    It's a huge room with lots of light and two closets in the back with lots of shelves.     It was originally a music studio.


May 20 -  Thank you all for the good wishes.   


I had a little setback yesterday evening after I posted this.   Walking into the room we use as our office, I slipped on a small thin carpet right inside the door on the oak floor.  Guess who had put it there with none of that rubbery non-slip stuff underneath?  The same guy who slipped on the one next to the bed twice and didn't want to admit it.  Why did he go flying?  I found out he had not put the anti-slip stuff underneath the carpet - Duh!  As the rug went out from under me,  I fell on my back and my right foot slammed up against the maple desk.   Thank goodness the little drawer unit the back of my head hit has soft plastic drawers or I would have cracked my skull.  I broke my toenail and couldn't stand on the front/ball of my foot without pain.   So this morning I went to get it X-rayed at a walk-in clinic.   Good news - no breaks!   But I won't be able to do the same physical therapy on that foot until it heals.    Liife goes on.

  7. So glad to "hear" from you, Terri. What an ouch, though. I did the same thing when I was a kid, but I was running, into my bedroom and the rug skidded out from under me. I smacked my cheekbone on a chair and got a nice black eye. Even though this was the 1960's, I remember being carefully interrogated by the principal at school the next day.

  9. Terri - so glad you're back. I was really worried about you. I'm only here for another week and was dreading leaving and not hearing from you. Enjoy your new house and sewing room. Hope you recover from the fall. Always something isn't it?

  11. Terri--
    I'm so pleased to see you back posting again and that you have your blog back to public. I've missed it! I was worried you may have had a setback in your health or something. Glad to hear you are okay (other than the recent fall) and still improving. I look forward to hearing about and seeing new projects from you in your new surroundings--would love to see pictures of your new sewing chamber

  13. Terri, Thanks for posting your update. It sounds like a lot is going on, as usual. Hope the non-bright parts continue to improve. I'm looking forward to hearing about your newest creations. And as they used to say on Hill Street Blues (I can't believe that I remember this), "Be careful out there!"

  14. Hi Terri! Thanks for posting again as I missed reading your blog. I'm so sorry about your fall though and I hope you are feeling a bit better by now..

    I've had to take all the rugs out of my house due to fall problems, even with the anti-slip stuff, but it is a different situation.
