I am on a mini vacation

Shelley Ken and Sydney are in Cuba so I am house sitting ~~It is like a mini vaction being away from the building I live it --here I can be outside when the weather permits   !!Next week I will go to Selkirk and spend Easter with Cindy Darren Alex and Brooklyn
Then back here to house sit for another week
The weather ia getting better here but is still on the cool side
Thw poor geese donot know whether to fly north or south
There are many huddled here on the lake wondering what to do
Off to opening night at Prairie Theatre tonite and then I have nothing on my plate till Tuesday so ope I will get some stitching or knitting done

Really need to do an update

Here is an Easter ornament I did for an exchange

WHERE SHOULD I START

Hello  to everyone DO I HAVE A STORY TO TELL

August 23/11  I went out to get a few groceries and ended up in Concordia  Hospital Emergency
Was walking along the sidewalk and a car jumped the curb and ran me into a steel staircase and then a brick wall ---

I received stitches in the crown of my head   and a broken wrist and hand
August 26 -- I went into surgery to repair my wrist and hand now resembled a hockey stick
  -my wrist has a plate and 10 screws and the heel of my hand has 2 titanium rods  !!
It has been a long haul with recovery and therapy  

 My therapist started using stitching and knitting as a form of therapy way back in November !  progress was slow   but along with weight and the usual therapy for that kind of fractures   I am back to 85%  
My surgeon says that is unheard of for a person my age to come that far   in less than 5 months  !!
I am happy   I have made such good strides   and am knitting    and stitching although slow I can do it

Here are some frilly scarves I have done with that new yarn
