Sewing note cards

The knee is getting better every day although I do have a hideous bruise on the back of my hand from the IV. I got quite a surprise on Monday. The surgeon that performed my scope called me to make sure everything was okay. Wow! I was impressed. That has never happened to me before.
The Simplicity dress is not finished although it should be. I'd planned on sewing yesterday but got caught up making cards. It's so addicting. So while no sewing got done, I did make a set of sewing note cards.





Gotta go finish my dress! Maybe I stop teasing you all and have a picture of it tomorrow!

Still Recovering

I was going to try and make it to church this morning but decided against it. I've taken the "cast" and bandages off and didn't want to risk anybody accidently bumping my knee. I do have same pain and pressure and am going to try to stay off of it as much as possible. I did manage to do a few minutes of sewing on the Simplicity dress and it is looking fantastic if I must say so myself. This dress is so Carolyn of  Diary of a Sewing Fanatic. I know I have you all drooling now but you'll have to wait. I will say that it includes piping. Right now I'm going to pop a Vicodin and lay down. When I get up I hope to be able to put the finishing touches on the dress. In a few days I'm sure I can get dressed up and all fabulous and snap a few pictures.

Surgery was a success...so far

Thanks to all who were praying for me. So far it seems that the surgery was success but I won't be really sure until "cast" is removed and I am walking on my own. I do have some pain but I think it is the pain from the surgery and not from injury. The surgeon did tell my mother that my arthritis is bad and that he didn't removed the cyst as it will only come back. I am to see him in two weeks to discuss further treatment. I spent most of yesterday in a drug-induced stupor and remember very little. So keep up the prayers because God is faithful and just and answers of believers.
