Postcard Challenge

This is my little postcard quilt that reminds me 

of my lake home in the North.  

Can you can make out our teeny tiny dock

 and ski boat?  

This was the challenge for our quilt retreat this

year.  Everyone kept silent about which quilt they made

and we all had fun trying to guess who made each quilt.    

These are all the postcard quilts together.  

I was trimming hedges with the Mr. on Thursday and I 

wrestled with the wrong monster bougainvillea shrub 

and lost.  

(I call these shrubs "beauty and the beast" for their beautiful flowers 

and large thorns)

I came out with a scratch or abrasion across the center of my eye 

which put me out of commission for 4 days.  The Dr.'s orders were

no computer, no reading or watching television.  

What an annoyance!

Unfortunately that meant no sewing either. 

What's a person to do, but sit in the dark and listen to the news

and sleep as much as possible.  The eye is healed now, but my 

vision isn't what it should be, so my eye Dr.  sent me to a cornea

specialist this morning.   My big fear was that he would remove

the scar tissue (debride the eye) causing another 3-4 day stint in the

dark.  Does anything sound more depressing?   I tried to keep

positive and I received HAPPY NEWS today!  

Wait two weeks to a month for my vision to become clearer.

I can live with this, no more pain and exactly the kind of news 

I wanted to hear.  

Now I have to catch up around the house and find my way back

into the sewing room.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day!
