We had a new hot water heater installed last Friday and while the plumbers were here we had them install some shut-off valves in the ceiling above the fabric shelves in my basement studio. Since I was not yet approved for stairs, my husband took it on himself to move the base cabinets that support the ironing board and to remove a couple of shelves in the area. He borrowed two long tables from our church to have a surface to put the fabric on.
Note that he not only carefully kept the color-coordinated stacks intact, but he made certain to keep them in the same order as they were on the shelf!
it takes a little time to recover from injury at our ages doesn't it. Your husband did a great job
ReplyDeleteAlex married a gem, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to stitch a little! Your strength will return, but it never happens as quickly as we'd like. And YAY for great husbands!!
ReplyDeleteWow he really IS a gem if he kept your stacks intact in color order - lol! So glad you were able to do what brings you joy. :)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have a keeper. I was surprised at how tiring it was to spend time in the sewing room after knee surgery. It took a couple of weeks to have the energy to sew more than 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Hopefully you'll get back to full stitching strength soon.
ReplyDeleteYears ago I switched to using my LEFT foot on the foot control — what a difference it made in my posture, stamina, and enjoyment of sewing!! As a retired Realtor, I spent hours each day in my car, driving, extending my RIGHT foot, which kind of skewed my back after a while. Changing the “driving foot” at my machine really helped in many ways. Good luck on recovering, I enjoy your blog. Jill in Cochrane, Canada. JillMCCaughey at Shaw dot ca
ReplyDeleteAlex is a gem! Glad to see you're making progress with your PT and that you're back to sewing.
ReplyDeleteHe definitely does sound like a gem! I'm glad you got down there to sew a bit, too. Hope your strength is returning more each day!
ReplyDeleteYou're making progress! Kudos to your husband for helping out.
ReplyDeleteAnother good step forward! Great to hear.
ReplyDeleteHi LIbby, I saw your comment on Diann's blog and hope everything is good with you. I was awake part of the night last night and thought of you and wondered how you were doing.
ReplyDeleteGreat news, Libby, but now you've been MIA for nearly another month! Hoping that just means that you've got the "pedal to the metal" to catch up on all of the sewing you missed while recuperating. Am I right?
