So it's New Year

Its been a while and I'm back. During the last two months my cancer surgery - recovery has progressed well and the doctor released me on 12-2-2005. He has allowed me to drive and do a lot of things I use to do. Liberty and independence can be wonderful. My husband knew I would be out driving the next day and here he is asking how the bottom of my right foot is . "Can you put your foot down on the brake?" I started a tap dance on my right foot (where they inserted a skin flap to cover the hole where the cancer was) There was no pain and the best part is the doctor said the cancer is gone ( no therapy). So every day I push to be out and walk and re-gain may life, except for vacuum cleaning I can do almost everything I did before. My husband has been a dear and he takes care of that. This teaches you to appreciate those little special things and family.

I have completed - the landscape quilt- "Tunnel Beach- Kauia" and a baby quilt for Nicholas and a third quilt is nearly done - name still pending--- about flags. For Christmas I knitted 8 scarves as gifts and after that I knitted another one with Noro yarn for me. Recently I have been learning how to knit socks on circular needles. So my time at home is split between quilting and knitting.

This year Christmas was held at my house and I gave the blessing. I have a lot to be thankful--- There is a guardian angel out there watching over me.

In addition there is a new web site in the works with the help of Gloria Hansen.
My plans for this year include returning to work - some desk job somewhere- continuing designing and quilting new artistic projects. There are a couple of new ones in my head. Maybe knitting some special gifts or new sweater.
So I will be back. I wasnt sure if you were interested in my knitting adventures- wool now comes in such vibrant colors.
