My latest wall hanging, the third since summer. Next is a Harry Potter quilt for Grandson.

Beautiful!

I'll have to have my son put up some of the snow pictures I have. I always shoveled it by myself - no mechanical or human intervention. Actually I love shoveling snow, I am stubborn and don't quit till I am done. Good for character building and clearing driveways.

And it keeps you going huh.. that is why I dig out my coops BF is like let me but he is doing it with me often

Believe me Ribh it was insane. With blowing and drifting snow, once had it almost to the top of the garage door. Just for fun I set an American fly near the top and claimed it for the US of America. I think the ice cold air really messes with my crazy sense of humor.
But it's better than hiding, crying and saying "why me?"

Not only fun but, boy would I have muscles popping by the end of winter.

Cap you do amazing work. I have trouble getting the hands to work well enough for making carpy pot holders. I don't care. As long as I can work a spoon and have ice cream I'll be fine and dandy.

Thanks Nancy, I am doing a lot while the hands still work. My right thumb is bad.

Thank you!

Lately I've been having a couple of fingers on left hand go numb. Used to have the whole hand go numb, sometimes both hands. But it would come and go and has been gone for quite awhile. Mostly when I was walking quite a distance and carrying a bag in each hand.

Personally I think my body is bored and looking for something to break the mood.

Any issues to you neck they said my spine was closing on my neck from damage
my hands go numb cannot feel when I get cut there or drop things because ?

I use to drop things myself. Had to stop trimming dogs because I dropped and broke so many clippers / teeth off of blades. Walking I would suddenly notice I wasn't carrying a bag and retrace my steps and found the bag near the street. The contents were intact but, I never realized I had let go.

That has lead to me using a backpack and a waist (fanny) bag for my wallet, keys, sunglasses etc. for many years. It is second nature to me. Other woman have asked me about it and after I told them why. They ended up getting a waist pack. I even gave some of my extras away( I had many until I figured what I liked best).

Penny, I feel paper cuts, hang nails, every minor thing with my hands but still ????? They manage to sneak things by me.

I got a really bad case of tendonitis (sp?) in my right arm. I could not even lift an empty paper cup it hurt so badly. My left arm that was always useless and dumber than dirt, suddenly took over and was able to do things it never did before - like button buttons. The human body is a miraculous thing.

Almost makes me wonder if we have spare parts just waiting to be pressed into service.
Like the Klingons on Star Trek - with two hearts in case one conks out. I think I better go to bed soon, before the guys in the white coats come and get me.

PS I've heard that they actually wear blue coats.
