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.

Thank you for your prayers and concern. Recovery is slow but progressive and my pain level has diminished by at least 30% and I'm told it will improve even more as I fully recover. My biggest problem right now is fatigue. So I'm taking lots of naps and then some more naps, and a few naps in between naps. LOL. I hope life is being kind to all of you. Please stay safe and, of course, stay scrap happy!

This is the beginnings of my patchwork cushion cover using scraps and odd bits of fabric. It’s a nice slow make and I’m enjoying every stitch. Even the paper hexagons are made from scraps of discarded paper. It’s going to be a 16inch square cushion so I’m getting there. I’m not sure I have enough to patchwork the back. That might have to be plain.

I’ve been given 20 100% silk scarves and I’ve no idea what to do with them. Has anyone any ideas what I could make or how to use them?
