Planning Ahead

I promise I'm not going to whine in this post. Due to my left hand being out of commission for the season, my crafting projects have fallen behind schedule. I can't finish the knitted gifts so my friends will get a little note telling them to please wait. I had started a Christmas cross stitch and was making fast progress on it. I was determined to finish it, so I did. I had all but the reindeer done, so each evening I've worked on it, one handed. It's slow and awkward but last night I finished it.

I'm looking forward to the time when my hand is fixed and I'm back in business, so I've done a little shopping to keep my spirits up. This is a collar kit. All the black plastic things are fasteners for adjustable collars.

Here's the first ribbon webbing I've ordered. It should make cute springtime collars for a couple girls.

I found this ribbon, but it's too delicate for collars. I'll use it as trim on some sewing projects.

I plan to be ready to sew in time for the hockey playoffs, so I found Bruins ribbon for collars.

Then I found a great sale on some bruin fabric for the dogs. The black is flannel for jackets and the yellow is cotton for bandanas.

Next week I see the doc and I'm really hoping he can do something to fix this mess and let me get back to the doing the things I enjoy.
