Shoulders Are Important For Sewing

So I tried to sew last weekend, after getting permission from my phisical therapist, and the shoulder that had the rotator cuff surgery got sore real fast so I got a little done then and some more done today. I'll post a picture soon. But in the meantime I got to play with this young man, my youngest grandson, for the whole day yesterday while his older brother was home sick with Momma.

Before a day of play it's important to eat a good breakfast. My husband is a big believer in kids helping, with supervision, in the kitchen.

Then it's time for outdoor play which apparently involves work too. In the background you can see what New Englaners do when the snow melts, which it finally did just recently. We, and when I say we I mean my husband, cut and stack wood to start getting ready for next winter which will be here sooner rather than later.

And one thing I have observed about boys-they can make a toy out of anything. He played with a stick, a log stump with a hole in it and a bunch of sawdust for quite a while.

Grandchildren are the best. See, I warned you I'd be posting pictures of my grandsons if I wasn't sewing much. My shoulder is improving each week and this week I was alowed to lose the sling-WooHoo! So I am sure the sewing will pick up pretty soon. I miss it. And so my other grandson gets a picture in here, here he is at his 4th birthday recently with his aunt and uncle watching from out west on the computer. Isn't technology amazing.

  2. Ouch! My hubby had rotator cuff surgery a while back. It's not for the faint of heart.
    Glad I discovered your blog, and your kitty's photo. Remember, home is where cat hair is a condiment. :-)

  8. Sounds like you're progressing well. I remember what you're going through as I've had both shoulders done and one done twice. It can be agony at times and the waiting to do things you love to do can be agony as well. Luckily you have some absolutely adorable grandchildren and had fun in a different way. Loved the pics, grandchildren are the best!!

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
