Welcome to ChitChat!

What creative fixes have you come up with? Like my friend fell and broke her elbow. She couldn't bear the weight of her arm. I happened to notice a new trash bag under the can one. Little tearing... little tying... instant sling! With one arm in a cast, I'm figuring out one-handed crocheting. I must use the damaged side fingers to turn my work, but I can one hand chain, single crochet, and double crochet with two Tunisian (afghan) hooks anchored under my legs. Friends say I'm MacGyver in a Dress. What are your way out of the box accomplishments?

And hanging…28 count lugana…dirty snow…

I bought this pattern from ECS, and finished in time for the 4th of July! I had so much fun making it, and I added the dates to it, to mark our Nation’s Birthday!

Good Thursday morning everyone. Lots of rain again today so an inside day. Things are quiet so far, but it's only 5:30 in the morning. Today I want ordinary and feel gratitude for those ordinary days. Stitching keeps me centered and focused on the present. Have a thankful Thursday.

Today is Thursday ………………………………………….. Good Morning, MJ 💕

I had torn a muscle in my leg and was not weightbearing for six days, only for “maintenance” and then with a crutch. May 18 I was using my crutch, leaned on it, and everything went white as my wrist screamed at me. I crushed a whole lot of soft tissue. No use of the arm until the June 16 MRI and June 18 hand surgeon visit. All major ligaments are intact, but the wrist can’t lift even a coffee cup. I’m in a muenster cast (fingers to above elbow) until July 30 when I will be evaluated for surgery. How is this possible?? Anyone else pending reconstructive wrist surgery from a crutch injury? <rolling on the floor laughing tears> emoji

With her boyfriend…

Good Morning


Numbers 3:3

whom he ordained to serve priests.


Have A Bless Day!

Today is Wednesday ………………………….…………….. Good Morning, MJ 💕

As part of prior pain management, my neurologist suggested doing things backwards and studying an entirely new subject. Arabic is read right to left, and I know one word, habibi. It sorta means sweetheart. It would be so fun to sing along with the Arabic lyrics on my Echo Show. But why Arabic? I just learned I'm 95% Polish and 5% Persian. There are more songs in Arabic than Farsi. I have an Arabic last name, which really caused a stir when I signed in at the Egyptian embassy to help her get a visa. And why not?
