I had a cancer scare in June of last year...all is clear and there was no cancer.
I broke my foot in September... So, no running for 8 weeks. No tatting, no running....no positive coping mechanisms... So, I ate my way through anxious days.... Gotta love some cookies!
All is well!! I'm running and competing again.
I have always had a fascination for the American Presidency. For those who care about this stuff... And sorry if it offends... I was able to meet our First Lady, Michelle Obama (pictures to follow). I also spontaneously decided to go to the inauguration, drove six hours toward the nation's capital and found a front row spot in the general public section (another pic to follow). Both were amazing experiences I will never forget.
Finally, I have slowly started to tat again. Here is the final product of the "endless edge without a cause".
I believe it will someday be the bottom edge of a christening gown.
The elbow still hurts... I guess it's time for the doctor.
And here are two very important days in my life...
The day before the November elections
Presidential Inauguration 2013
SOOO good to see you back. I'm sorry to hear of all your mishaps and problems, though. I hoped and hoped to meet up with you again at Tat Days last year but sadly you were out of action. Happy tatting and welcome back to Tat Land.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you back again, I am sorry to hear of your problems and so glad you are though the worse and put the other side.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your photos, I know nothing of the American politics but if they are anything like the UK they argue about nothing.
I would like to welcome you back to the tatting world, look forward to seeing any new tatting in time, The tatted strip looks lovely and would look beautiful on a christening gown.
