Recovery

It is nearly three weeks since I had my operation for carpel tunnel. I have found it frustrating not being able to do very much but now gradually I am able to spend small amounts of time weaving. This piece was started last year and I have added a couple of inches to it in places this week. I have even managed to do a little hand hemming of squares for India Flint's 'Bagstories'

project, the first time I have been able to hand stitch for nearly six months which is very exciting.
Hopefully I may even begin to be able to garden soon, lots of weeds and the fruit trees need pruning and get back to driving myself around.

  1. Debbie, may your healing continue to go smoothly and may you gain strength and range of motion every day. Spirit resides in you and in your creative and compelling art and I am struck by this weaving done long before you had your surgery. the colors chosen could not be more perfect to reflect healing: blue for calm, earth tones to remind you that yes, your hands will once again be digging in your garden and white to signify resilience in taking each day and becoming stronger in health. Your weaving is a healing path...
