Day 23. Just a day away

Excitement

Hard to believe Christmas is just a day away.

I wasn’t able to post last night because we had FaceTime with my daughters family. An early Christmas celebration because she has to work this weekend.

They opened their gifts and we had a good long visit.

Today was one of keeping busy. My oldest and youngest daughter will be here next week so there is a lot preparation to be done.

Did get a little time working on the Piece quilt.

Doesn’t look like much right now but I can start to see the top of the symbol.

Here are today and yesterday’s advents

Only one day left on the calendar.

Today I received a Bio Compression and a leg sleeve. The person shown me how to use it, which I did this evening.

I only need to do the right leg because that is the one which has the Lymphedema. Feels very good on my leg, a massage is what I get. This stimulates the lymphatic system in leg so is help with the fluid removal.

I need to do this at least 4-5 days a week for an hour. Lymphedema doesn’t go away and I will be dealing with this for the rest of my life. But it is pretty manageable though for me.

That’s about all the exciting stuff todays.

Till tomorrow

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison.

For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section 2 - 1' section Cut the 1" PVC into 4 - 1' section ...
