A quick note......

Sorry folks, no fancy new pics today. I am hammering out a quick peep before starting another day of banner sewing. The rearrange for being able to have a workstation where I can stand has been most helpful. Yesterday was spent, for the most part, sewing myriad beads onto eight large tassles and trying to keep the sewing thread out of the tassle fringe.
Not fun!
None the less, they are progressing nicely. Today will be spent standing at the machine and pinning on yards and yards of rope trim.....trying my best to eyeball all of it and get it straight. This is not fun work, more trying to get in the groove and just do it right.
In fact, if I am scarce on here, and about your blogs, for the next few days, this is what I am engaged in. I want to get these done and sometimes I have to strike while the humor is there. It is fleeting on any project that has gone on this long. I am a "do it before you lose the enthusiasm" person...I swear I have ADD.
I have spent too many late nights with the Olympics, and seeing the cauldron extinguished was a bittersweet moment. I'll say it right here, in front of blogland and the world--- I LOVE CANADA! I loved the country far before the Olympics but delighted in seeing daily what the host nation provided. I cheered their women's hockey team, and the men's as well in the nail-biter that I was sure would end in a gold medal for the U.S. And I am far too old to sit up late watching all the events......for my own health, it's probably a good thing the games of 2010 are over. But how amazing they were!
So for anyone who had an e-mail *ignored*, a blog that was not visited, something I should have replied to and forgot.......I apologize. It's just going to be a blur here for a bit.
As a quirky aside: My therapist for P.T.? He and his wife are from Montreal.......is there some odd synchronicity in this world or what? So at least we can talk hockey while I am being twisted and tugged and pulled back into shape!!! LOL!!! And yes, it is working already--I can walk better. So exercise time has to be fit into the already semi-full daily schedule.
Now I am off, red maple leafs still floating in my memories, ready to tackle a daunting sewing job, and before you ask......of course I know all the lyrics to "Oh Canada"........what respectable Hockey fan wouldn't?     ;-)
Have a great week and may the work you do be a gold medal in the hearts of others!

Pax.
