A Colour Blocking Layout
I did have a successful total knee replacement (right) on July 16th. I'm just over the 3 week mark of my recovery. Ambulatory but it is a long, slow process.
My great idea of quilting while recuperating hit the wall when I started having issues with my sewing machine. That put aside, I worked on some layouts.
I had the same paper (centre) that Susan Hope (Canadian Scrapbooker magazine, summer 2014) used so I scrap-lifted her background for my pictures of Smashed In Head Buffalo Jump and the colourful native dancing we watched.

Anticipation
I haven't been on here for awhile. For the last three months I've ramped up the physical fitness routine with the goal of becoming healthier before my knee replacement surgery... which happens tomorrow sometime. I'm waiting for the call from the hospital and reading a Hip & Knee Replacement Forum (Bonesmart) that I discovered this morning.
I'm hoping my initial 6 weeks of recovery won't be entirely filled with resting on an incline to reduce pain/swelling, range of motion exercises, anti-blood clot exercises, walker walks and icing. I'm planning to do some scrapbooking (of course) and make a/some baby/toddler quilt(s). Yesterday I started cutting out the fabrics for a quilt I found in Fons & Porter's 2014 summer issue of Love of Quilting, "Ladybug! Ladybug!" Of course I searched Fabricland and five different quilt shops for the white print and couldn't find it... must be too new. But the one I found will work just as well. I fell in love with the quilt because I love green, ladybugs and bright colours. Hmmm, anyone think this is too bright for a baby blanket? Toddler, maybe.
That is just like me - start a new project instead of finishing other projects or cleaning & organizing the disaster area known as my craft room!
