  So what r u all doing...I am getting ready to take my tree down...how many r in this boat?

[selmaS]

  Hi all lets Fribble about projects we r working on .....

  Beside helping my friend make these puff balls for her DD's bridal shower I am also working on a felt facade of the hose my DD lives in to be added to the  tree skirt I made her last yr....

what projects r u all working on ?

[Kris808]

  'attempting' to correct a mistake I made a good year and a half ago while trying to hang a new curtain rod and curtains.  It's taking me longer than the average person ( OF  COURSE), but I am HOPING to have it complete within the next year and a half!

[selmaS]

  Doing things above ur head...and I mean height, not ability here...can affect u as u have to look up, that bothers the neck and all those nerves inside, plus u have ur arms up, and that gets the shoulder area and right back to the neck...so not something we should be doing.....

Find a tall person u can direct and be the project manager : )

[Kris808]

  Oh, don't I know it!!  I can barely look up the majority of the time, let alone try to hang up something or twist screws above my head!  I did not recruit anyone to do it for me...  at times I get so stubborn I can't do things I used to do or should be able to do.  And most of the time in the attempt I am very much reminded I AM NOT able to do them any more!  But thankfully, I took the time (1 1/2 yrs -ha!) to prepare my 'workstation' to make sure I would be looking dead-on & I took breaks, & took the time, & tried not to frustrate myself and... I got it done!  It took me all day but I fixed it to a bit more satisfactory -- not sure it fits the average person's satisfaction, but it meets mine!  Next is to fix the holes in the wall and do some 'touch up' painting I've also been wanting to do for a year and a half... but that is FOR SURE another day(s)...

[selmaS]

  If u r compelled to do this urself listen to ur body and take breaks as the more u do like this the more u will feel it....

I used to push thru and did things even when my body screamed at me not to....and I swear it takes longer to feel better the longer u push....

Listen to ur body and accept  and ask for help.

  Hi all what projects r u working on this week? or weekend?

I had my nephew here on Thurs and he helped pack up all my Christmas and took to my attic, so less work for me, and more energy to work on a project...I will be working on my felt house for my DD's tree skirt as I have not worked on it in a while I was waiting for pics of the roof line to see if there was a chimney or air stack....I just got the pic so back to work : )

[wnzday]

I am a crafter, primitives mostly. I enjoy to do things as I feel good. Don't want to speak to soon, But finally after four weeks of misery, I am going on the second day of feeling decent! :) I hope it sticks for a little while, a break is nice. Anyway..... I plan on making some dolls, probably just a couple and we'll see how it goes from there.

[selmaS]

  Oh...please post pics I would love to see them as I was thinking of making a doll for my niece....I have soooooo many irons in the fire and have to finish a few others b4 I start those....I hope to get this felt done this weekend, it is snowing now so no plans to go out : )

[selmaS]

  Hi all what are u up to this week?

I am still on my felt project, it is all the small details that is slowing me down now....lol...

[selmaS]

  Hi all I am on a new project...my friend is having a Bridal shower for her DD and wanted my help...it is a Beach themed wedding and shower , so instead of a traditional wishing well I am making a treasure chest to be used as the  wishing well .....

What r u all working on?

[QuiltingLady]

As you probably figured from the name, I quilt!  In fact, I have a small business (on top of my day job) completing the quilting (just the decorative stitching) for my customers.  I love it, and the plan was to have a solid customer base when I retire,and quilt to my heart's content!  Since my symptoms got worse in the last 6 months, I mess everything up every time I quilt.  My PT is working with me to watch for signs, slow down or stop, and learn how to help myself when in pain.  Last Saturday, I quilted for 2 or 3 hours and Sunday was the worst day for headaches that I can recall ... ever!  I can deal with all these physical symptoms, but the thought of giving up my dreams is eating me up!  Like Kris808 said, "at times I get so stubborn I can't do things I used to do or should be able to do.  And most of the time in the attempt I am very much reminded I AM NOT able to do them any more! ".    By the way, the Alzheimer's foundation collects quilt donations.  Is there anything like that for chiari?

[wnzday]

I finished some pillows, finally! Selma, never have gotten around to those dolls yet,lol. Not enough energy for those as they are a little more difficult & time consuming, so I went with something a little quicker & easier, ha
Anyway couldn't figure out how to post the pics here for you to see, but they are under my photos on my profile page for viewing.
Hope everyone has a great Friday, seemed like it took forever to get here this week.

[selmaS]

  @quiltinglady- I too love to quilt...do u machine quilt or hand quilt...I only have hand quilted...never tried with the machine....but hope to.

@wnzday- tell me about it ...I got too many projects and I have so many on the back burner....now doing this chest...lol...

Will post pics when I am done : )

Hope u post pics of the pillows wnsday...and quilt lady would love to see some of ur work....u will get back to it : )

[QuiltingLady]

Linda

[selmaS]

  I will be looking....I gave a few of mine away, but have pics somewhere  I will have to root around for those,...lol...

[selmaS]

  Hi all what are u working on this week??...ne new projects....I am still working on my treasure chest for a "wishing well"....for a Beach themed bridal shower....

I am hoping to get done soon...waiting on some supplies needed for the next step....DH has my list of needs....lol..

[QuiltingLady]

OMG Friday was so busy I missed the fribble!    My prescription for PT ran out a week ago.  The PT requested a second prescription but hasn't heard from the dr.  So I've been a week without PT.  I felt so good last week, I was convinced I could stop the PT anyway.  Was I wrong. One week without it, and I'm back to square one!  The point is, between the headaches, nausea, no sleep, etc, everything is taking longer to accomplish and I had no time to fribble.  I was really hoping to complete a quilt this weekend, but I'm not sure I can be on my feet that much.  Maybe I'll try to read a book!

[selmaS]

  Well I would never expect to do a quilt in a  week....but I am not as proficient  in doing them as u r,...and since u have Chiari u may want to give urself more time to complete them....??

U can fibble ne day  u want...lol... I have my grandpuppy here it is her 1 yr anniversary of my DD adopting her...

[selmaS]

[selmaS]

  Hi all what are u working on this week...since I could not get online yesterday I started a baby quilt with ducks on it....I will post pics as I go, this is my MIL's that she started but did not finish,...I made mine 26 yrs ago, so that is how long it is sitting....lol....but I am making headway and hope to have it done by April.
