...... my week .....


This week has been quite a mixture of things -
Jane & Joseph brought a lovely bouquet of tulips to cheer me last weekend as I had not been well for several days ...
Friends Sue & Maureen came on Tuesday and we enjoyed playing with Tyvek - the mosaic shows a few details.
They gave me the silk butterfly, bead motif, and fusible ribbon, nice with the Tyvek pieces I made, but I haven't done anything with them yet ....
Wednesday was exciting - my new sewing machine arrived so I have been playing with it since - again nothing seriously made yet ...
Thursday I had results of hip x-ray and Doc said it seems probable both hips need replacing - so that's likely to cause disruption in the months ahead - but I'm sure I'll be delighted when I am more mobile!
Today I did a bit of stitching on a picture I'm hoping to finish for my cousin's birthday and took some photographs of the tulips before they fade ..... another week gone!

The tulips and lovely, and allthe colours in the other photos are simply gorgeous.

But pardon my ignorance - what is Tyvek??

Hope you are getting well aquainted with that new machine Connie!

Connie my grandmother just had her 2nd hip replacement. It's amazing how quick they get you up and on the road to recovery. Hoping your journey proves to be as speedy. If it's going to be get it done so you can go back to "doing". Best wishes!
