So I mentioned that I was recovering from surgery. Here are some images of my convalescence and some fantastic care packages I received…

Burton was my constant companion the first few days when I lived on the couch!

Christmas and bonus from Cooky in San Diego! Books, treasures, and home made cookies! Divine!

Snow quintuplets – from San Diego of all places – to stitch and embellish. 

Nina’s Treasures – this was a treat to myself. Nina Bagley – the soulful, poetic, mixed media and jewelry artist was doing a bit of a de-stash late last year. I purchased a small box of mysterious treasures – that I managed to NOT open until after surgery. I havent created anything yet, but the wheels are turning. Its a fantastic assortment of treasure. 

Who doesnt love flowers? 

My triple spiral pouch – I felted a thrift store sweater for the first time and stitched up a few pouches from the sleeves. It was great fun to do a little freehand embroidery. My mother taught us when we were little girls. Some skills never get lost! I prefer to have my hands busy if I am watching TV or a movie, and I am not so handy with knitting needles… What do you occupy yourself with as you bask in the glow of the magical electronic picture box?
