Monday, May 11th Update: Everything is going well. Mom is sleeping a lot, which is good for her healing. She's eating well, and her pain is manageable. She sends her thanks and best wishes. __________________ Mom, is doing well. The doctor said everything went great and that she should get some immediate pain relief and with time, a little more mobility. Won't know how much until things have had time to heal and she has had time to rebuild her strength. She truly appreciates your continued care and support and hopes to be back with you soon. Knowing mom, it won't be too long.

I met Lynda in another skool community that she belongs to the upcycle/ refashion rebels. I love her style and wanted to try here is my first effort. A friend wanted me to embellish her backpack. She wanted purple, dragonfly and be able to wash from time to time. So here it is. The fist picture is the before.

Be sure to show us your collage. Even if you haven't finished it, we'd love to see your progress. This is my finished slow stitch collage using all the shapes as listed.

I don’t have too much fabric. I have long-term creative investments.
