My slow return to blogging

It feels like forever since I last posted. Since I am still out of work because of my shoulder I have lost track of time. When I am working I keep track of days by counting down to my next day off. Now, I have to keep checking what day it is.

The shoulder is starting to feel pretty good. I still can't do alot of things especially if it is repetitious or I have to use my arm in a certain position. That's part of why as a housekeeper at one of our local hospitals I can't return to work yet. I'm still not using a rotary cutter either. Pushing down and stretching is one of those do not do kind of things. That's OK, I have plenty of things to do. I just need to find the motivation.

I can do some retail therapy though :) I bought these fabrics a bit ago from Barb. She has some gorgeous fabrics in her shop.

Some of these will be for my Samoan Stars quilt...

I think a couple of them will make fun tote bags. Plus, I ordered a handful of zippers. I'm thinking about using the yellow for the setting diamonds for the Samoan Stars. I'll have to wait until I can cut a few strips to see what they look like with the stars.
