Better…

I’m better. Health-wise. My knee surgery is a success and physical therapy is going well. I caught a horrible cold–with complications. As my mother would have said, “I felt like the dead lice were falling off me.” I’m not sure what that means, but it’s about as bad as it gets. Finally I called on Sunday and she called in some antibiotics. I feel SO much better. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to take unnecessary antibiotics, but there is a point when a 61-year-old knows she has an infection and the nurse practitioner should listen.

Needless to say, I haven’t done much in the way of artsy stuff lately. My stock is getting low, though, so I need to get busy. Now that my sewing machine pedal leg is almost healed I think I can get back to work soon. Wish me luck.

I have done beadwork for over 25 years and got so interested in jewelry design that I took two metalwork classes at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee from wonderful teachers Deborah Lynn Gold and Marjorie Simon. I can't choose a favorite medium. I love sculptural work and adore forming and fabricating metals, but three-dimensional beadwork is more colorful. I sew a lot! Lately I've been making lots of purses and wallets as well as upcycling used clothing into new items. Lately I've gone back to sewing and refashioning cast-off clothing–mostly men's shirts, into girls' clothing. I also enjoy making handbags and wallets. They are really fun to put together–like a puzzle.
