On the Journey to Healing Creatively!

10/2/2017

 I am so sorry you have not heard from me lately! I have been trying my best to relax my body and mind to heal this new ankle.  I hope you can forgive me!

So I am now 9 weeks post surgery and I thought I would share with you what a "craft, sewing and creatively addicted" person does when they have a right leg out of commission!  But first a little more about my journey.  The first post after my surgery shows a silicone cast and a stirrup and then a week later I got my "fashionably purple" silicon cast and the stirrup again.  See below:

5 weeks after my "fashionably purple" cast, I was the proud recipient of a "very sexy air cast".  Of course I am trying to have a sense of humour about all of this!  See my air cast below:

So as you can tell, it's been 9 loooooong weeks!  I cannot use my right leg to sew, drive or go up the stairs to my studio!! So what to do?  I will share some of my projects in the next few days.

#1 Project- Crocheted Toe Up Socks
My youngest daughter had a birthday in September and I knew that getting out to shop may be a challenge and so I decided on some hand made gifts.

I took a knitting course from a local knit shop and no offence to the teacher! I would have gotten an "F" for failure if I was marked.  I did not succeed at knitted toe up socks.

Hence, I decided to challenge myself to make them in crochet. Although, they are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination.  I was able to succeed at least at getting a crocheted pair made.  So I am good with this and will perfect my sock making skills once I try this pattern again. The free pattern  link is here from Patons Kroy Socks, it is a toe up pattern in crochet and if I can make them anyone can!
#2 Project - Hand Embroidered Pillow Cases
The first time I injured my ankle, I embroidered a table runner and really enjoyed it.  Hand embroidery for me is enjoyable because 1) it involves  using and choosing colour and 2) It's hand stitchery, which for me is a peaceful, happy pursuit!

In case you were wondering where the above design and pillow cases are from, I purchased a pre stamped kit of 2 pillow cases and an embroidery floss kit as well online from marymaxim.ca and the link to purchase them is here


I encourage you to check back often now, I am back

in action and planning on posting more projects and

ideas daily!

I am ready, willing and enthusiastic to share where

my "creative addiction" has taken me while I have 

been convalescing.


Happy Monday and Welcome to October🎃 ☀️😊❤️

I don’t think my values will change over time. I believe that these values are something you have within yourself until your grow up. These values were something that I have ever since I started thinking and even now that I am more mature, I still have these values. I am the type of person who sticks to what I believe in so I really try my best to avoid the thought of changing my beliefs and values. If in time, my values may change, I think one of the reasons would be what is happening to my environment. Because nowadays, a lot of chaos and bad things are happening in our world and you can’t help but feel affected and influenced sometimes.
