Finally I've vacuumed and connected my AC and 15 minutes later cooler air inside here. I've yet to pin up my curtains over the hoses. YEAH!!!
May 29th
Just a lovely day for a walk with Aida, a bit too long but we sat down often. The Forks is getting some sprucing up and still awesome to sit outside with Tall Grass Prairie cinnamon bun and coffee! We took the river walk back, not doing that alone at all. It was sad to see the tenters back in the trees plus three trees badly scorched and an encampment too.
May 31st
Well today was our ACQ gathering and I finished sewing up the baggies of pinned together triangles. After dropping off Sylvia, I picked up leftover salsa and chips from home and headed to Edna's. Here we moved onto her cooler northish facing balcony and I pressed my HSTs. Then we walked over to Wendys for taco salad to eat out on her balcony table. Yummy! Lovely out!
June 2nd
Good idea! I might even see about this fir my pet visits!
Walk around the block, no rain. Late lunch at Tim's and picked up supper from Poke Mono.
June 3rd
Sunday was horrible! Woke achy and very very dizzy taking a good 15 minutes to get out of bed. Rest of the day out of sorts. Monday lots better and took a walk around the block. All good until the last 30 feet or so when I looked down at my feet and the world starting spinning! I made it to my car for a sit down then upstairs. Today again lots better but kinda weak kneed but off to my bone density test and Chiro appointment as I felt a twinge Sunday before the dizziness started. She gave me exercises for inner ear imbalance, hope it works. After my adjustment I went home a might shaky, but safe. Once parked and outside I immediately threw up 3 times (I can count on one hand in my adult life the few times this happened) but felt better. If this persists I'm calling my Dr.
Here's the progress for The Wave postcard.
See I have this mini puzzle of “The Great Wave, the best-known work by Japanese artist Katsushika Hakusai. It was created around 1831 as part of a series of woodblock prints, and between 5,000-8,000 prints of the original piece were made.”
That was my inspiration for the hand stitched hexies image of that scene.
April 4th - These are the smallest finished hexis I've done so far - 5 cent piece size beside the cream/beige pieces! Hmmm I wonder what these will grow up to be??? I'm using batik scraps for the tighter weave to hold onto my basting stitches. I know there is a "glue" method BUT I prefer hand basting.
April 26th - now all are stitched into rows and onto joining the rows together. Now I've Lite Steam a Seam 2 it to a lightweight sheet before embellishing.
May 1st - I’ve finally finished my tiny hexies background and hopefully tomorrow start on the embellishing. I’m running late but I hope this postcard will be worth the wait! Then I machine stitched the wave lines within the hexies and end of the wave water drops which I then added tiny seed beads and finally machine stitch the wave tops.
Finally had to add another row to fit the 5x7 inch postcard size, that was fun. I think I did not bad!!! I was going to make another for myself, but after finishing decided not! 😉
May 11th - Ohhhh WOW I’ve finally completed my postcard, some 11 days late. 😐

June 5th
Well I'm doing slightly better but still a bit dizzy and weak, no sudden movements. Basically inner ear imbalance, not an ear infection, blood pressure OK, nor Ménière's which can also have loss of hearing, not a symptom for me as yet. The exercises the Chiro gave are really good but Ryan (my Dr's assisstant) wants me to see a special ear (Vestibular Rehab) Physiotherapist for at least one treatment. Yowsers!
June 6th
