Slow Sunday Stitching

 

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband. I don't know what I would do without his help right now. He has always been a wonderful father to our children. 

I have been steadily working on the Santa Stocking lately. He has the holly on his hat now and some more of the red hat too.

I have also been making very good progress on the Butterfly Baby Blanket.

When we are watching the New York Islanders in the hockey playoffs or a New York Mets baseball game I can actually knit up to 4 rows at one go. That is why it is growing so quickly.

My shoulder is feeling much better. I have a couple of exercises to do each day. One is just walking my fingers up the wall while in a warm shower. I can measure my progress by the tiles on the wall. The other is where I bend at the waist and hang my arm straight down then try to swing it a little bit front to back and left to right. This is somewhat painful as I am doing it, but eases once I stop. I have to work up to three times a day. I started on twice a day yesterday. I will do that for a week and then add once more. I go back to the doctor in two weeks. I still haven't tried driving as I am not supposed to be raiding my arm at all.

Hubby set up my wind spinner this week. We took down an overgrown evergreen in this spot last summer and were going to look for another tree to plant. For now the windspinner will take up this space. We want to get a new fence prior to planting a tree. That fence is 20+ years old and starting to rot. It is time.

My Kousa dogwood has been in bloom. I really love that tree.

Hubby treated me to wine and appetizers on our front porch one late afternoon this week. It was a gorgeous day. Not too hot, not too cool. Perfect for porch sitting.

I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are stitching. I think Santa will get some attention today as our son is visiting for Father's Day and can't see my secret stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!
