Re: OT Update

...and if it doesnt hurt i'm allowed to do it. hmmmmmmmmmmm glad to hear your progressing so well. hugz, jeanne*

Yaaaaay! Sending you more love and gentle hugs.

oh yes, after a while they itch! lol clay and fabric wont hurt a bit but what is best is I get to pick up Marcus and Meg again!!! :-) Diana

You are humming because you forgot the words? They go.. hip hip hooray, Im staple free today!!! and tomorrow I get to clean and play, ta ra ra boom di ayyyyy! Diana

I've been looking at your quilts on webshots and really learning some neat stuff. It never occurred to me to use a half square triangle in an attic window block. Now I have no excuse not to try this. The fabric on your Hawaiian pinwheel looked like it was one piece and not scrappy. I love it by the way. In two of my log cabin quilts I have done this but didn't mind since they were supposed to look scrappy.

Thank you thank you!!! big hugs right back! Diana

Go up and down any/all stairs backwards ... you use an entirely different set of muscles.

Revert to "floor level", as the kids do ... you won't use as many tummy or abdomen muscles, mostly leg & shoulder/back.

When legs/shoulders/back give out ... sit & quilt or use 'puter.

Let DH do dinner ... 'cause you've now had a very exhausting day!

I cringe at the thought of staples, and am glad to hear you're finally free of them.

BTW, I've got some of those hollyhocks growing now (although they're in bloom). Will send you some seeds when they're ready. :^)

Thank you! What are we supposed to do when it doesnt start hurting till after we finish? lol... pay the piper I suppose... Luckily I am not the most motivated person in the world so Id kind of have to go out of my way to hurt myself. Diana

Great news Diana - but keep on resting eh! We want you nice and strong for when we come and raid...

Specially if you don't know if it'll hurt until you try... ;P

Hey, thanks, Med. Gnome! I had fun looking at yours, too! When I saw your Hawaiian Quilt blocks, I thought you were from Hawaii. Smart and creative of you to make your own patterns. You would have loved the monthly challenges we used to have led by meSue. I'd never have an excuse and tried some stuff I'd never do without her gentle nudges.

staple-free!?!

Whoohooo for the hollyhocks seeds!! Thank you! As for the other tips... noted and appreciated. Its amazing what a few weeks of doing nothing can do to a body...and a house that has a 2 year old in it. Todays small goal was to get the peanut butter off the carpet. Its pretty well gone now. Dont want to overdo! lol Thank you DeB! Diana
