Before this happened.....
...my August Afternoon Delight applique blocks were finished.
They were my One Monthly Goal for August and, I admit, not a very lofty goal. I didn't want to get too stressed before my wrist surgery on the 6th, so I went pretty easy on myself. I hope to make up for it later this year and get back to completing entire quilts, although that may be what contributed to wearing out my wrist cartilage in the first place--lol!
I was getting pretty desperate to find something to occupy my time (aside from reading and one handed weed pulling). I decided to try my hand (pun intended!) at an adult coloring page from Mary Engelbreit's site. It was a nice diversion, but after spending so much time on it, what the heck do I do with it? Also, any ideas what the half circle is next to the W?
Hello thumb--I've missed you! I got my removable brace last week. It's so nice to be able to wash my arm and scratch an itch. I'm trying hard to not do too much yet, but I'm getting pretty antsy!
Linking with Elm Street Quilts HERE for One Monthly Goal

I would get so tired of not being able to use my hand - I feel for you really - one day I must get my afternoon delight pattern out - I have barely started it

Your blocks are lovely.. Beautiful work. I have some of that cute piece your used for the background on the left block. Glad to see you're healing is going well.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good wrist mending! In the meantime, the coloring looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteI looked up examples of the coloring page on ME's website, and it's an incomplete image of one of her signature "fried egg flowers". Sort of like the half flower next to the W of "know" and 2 simple leaves like a pair of the dragonfly's wings. Mary's been one of my favorite artists for years!
ReplyDeleteHope you're healing well, and you'll be back quilting in no time! Stay safe!
Ha! When I saw the first photo I thought your goal was just to mend your wrist! That would be a very commendable August goal all by itself. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being such a good patient and listening to the Doctor's orders. You are doing GREAT! I can understand that it is boring and you're getting restless, but hang in there. Good times will roll right up again. Beautiful colouring. ;^)
ReplyDeleteSorry about your being incapacitated....it must be hard...coloring is a great idea...Keep on resting and following orders...hugs julierose
ReplyDeleteColoring might be fun, but playing with fabric is much better. Don't get to anxious though. Glad you're making progress.
ReplyDeleteI have been wondering how you are doing, Karen. It sounds like progress with your wrist if you've changed to a removable brace.
ReplyDeleteYour finishes for the month are beautiful!
Glad your wrist is on the mend! Love anything Mary Engelbreit. No idea what the half circle is, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update...which is probably a feat all by it's self! so glad to hear you are healing and have progressed to the removable brace. This is such a challenge! I see Kathy came up with a good answer for you. I would have guessed a sun peeking out or a half finished flower.
ReplyDeleteYou can do this (which i'm also telling myself today as I head into a prolotherapy treatment for my knee(google Caring Medical.com for what that is ;-0 Praying still for your fastest recovery. Hugs!
Glad you can see your thumb again. It's funny what we miss. Heal quickly. Love your blocks.
ReplyDeleteFast recovery for you! Being away from quilting is just no fun!
ReplyDeleteI feel for you! Take it easy - you don't want to have to re-do your surgery!!! In the meantime, I hope you heal quickly!!! And ... while you're colouring - look at the colours that please you when they're next to each other and the ones that don't ... and try some weird combinations ... you never know what you might learn! :-)
ReplyDeleteGoodluck and hope your wrist heals quickly.... Don't over do it.....
ReplyDeleteSuch a frustrating time but glad to see you are sticking with it and making good progress.
ReplyDeleteNice blocks you completed before your surgery Karen. Glad your wrist is healing and it is worth the effort of being patient so that you don't undo the good that the surgery has done! The colouring looks like a great diversion..... not sure what the semi-circle is though! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteYour pre-surgery blocks look so happy and well made.
ReplyDeleteAnd you do well with the colored pencils, too. Nice shading and highlighting.
So good to see progress with your healing. Do go slowly (from someone who moved too quickly after shoulder surgery and greatly lengthened her healing time!!!).
I wish you a very fast recovery !! Fingers crossed and be patient..
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are beautiful as always !
A million of hugs Karen !

I'm here to testify about what DR. OYAGU did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 2 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday. This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Shayla Bosschart on the internet testifying about a Man called DR. OYAGU on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, DR. OYAGU prepared and sent me Healing Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after two weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as DR. OYAGU assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HBV, HIV, ALS, HBP, CANCER etc. you can contact DR. OYAGU for help via email} oyaguherbalhome@gmail.com visit his website https://oyaguspellcaster.wixsite.com/oyaguherbalhome whatsapp him through his mobile} +2348101755322. , Thanks once again DR.
