OMGG I’m just not keeping up with
much in my life lately! I need to STOP,
LOOK, LISTEN n RELAX but when?
LOL!
We have the Manitoba Prairie Quilters “Quilt Reflections” Show and
Conference this weekend. Just before
Christmas I signed up to assist the Quilt Raffle Chairperson who was going away
January-March and would not be at the Show.
So I’ve been a little busier with those responsibilities and now looking
after the actual Quilt Raffle ticket sales at the show this weekend and on
Sunday coordinating the actual “draw” of the lucky recipient to receive this
lovely quilt.
Also at the show are the
Challenge Quilts which are on for Auction this weekend – bids open till 3:00 pm
on Sunday, March 30th and then the lucky winner declared! Here’s my entry (#25) taken in the “jungle”
at my niece’s.
And here’s the link to view other donations for this Challenge Auction – my
sister Sylvia’s is #29 – I think it’s AWESOME!
So if you can make it to the
Quilt Show and Conference, March 28th – 30th, here in
Winnipeg MB at the CanadInns – that would be GREAT!!!
Then this last year I finished
off two original design wall hangings as retirement gifts for fellow co-workers
and they so kindly allowed me to borrow them so that I could enter them into
the quilt competition. So who knows,
they’ll be judged, on display and I will get a picture of myself beside them and
possibly a ribbon if I’m fortunate to win a prize. I’ve also a couple of my own quilts and my
popular needlecases in the Boutique for sale.
Yes a busy weekend coming!
AND last week I had the
unfortunate happenstance to be out on the windy day and while getting out of my
van the gust tried to close the door on me – catching me on the left
wrist. Just about had me on my knees in
pain and naturally a nice blue bruise with swelling but it didn’t hurt that
much – unless touched. Well after a
number of days the swelling was going down and as I moved the wrist more the
pain was increasing – off to PanAm walkin clinic to have it checked out. So on Friday I had the xray, Dr followup and
sent to “casting” – nope not gonna be a famous movie star! I’ve made it this far in my life and here I’m
put into a permanent rock hard cast to immobilize that wrist to help reattach
this small “chip” off one of the smaller wrist bones next to the outside
knuckle. SHEESH why not one of those
velcroed splints instead – this is a pain in the !@#$ that is for sure and
quite a hindrance to my hand stitching especially!
So here I am with loads of hand
and machine stitching to do and I’m in this awkward cast! GRRRR!!!!
Not sure if I’ll get much accomplished this next two and a half weeks
but that better be it for this cast – I do not want it now - never mind longer!!! Never mind trying to walk on our icy and snow
packed sidewalks – that’s all I need is to slip and do something else!!! At least with the velcroed walking cast I had for the dang broken big toe was tolerable as I could remove it to relax and bath, this dang thing NOT!!! Oh well two weeks will go by real fast - time usually does!!!
