The event of the week was a visit to the orthopedist with my
DS. (I really need to get a life, huh?) He was happy that things hadn't moved since he was splinted in the ER and opted to just continue my son in the splints that they gave them. This is good news, from my point of view, as it allows him to remove them for showering dressing etc. Of course,
DS, thinks a cast would be better. I think the subliminal thought is that he will get more attention that way. Of course, if you asked, he'd never admit to it. The bad thing about keeping him in these particular splints is that he didn't really require a set which would immobilize the thumb, however, that is what they issued. The doc cannot give out new ones as the insurance company will balk and most likely dispute payment on the second set. There is a metal rod that he can remove from the thumb area that will not jeopardize the rest of the splint.
DS wants to keep the metal in just to be on the safe side. He obviously is feeling better as he hasn't been asking for Tylenol and is starting to annoy his brother a bit more. So, things are getting back to normal on that front.
I've gotten a bit of time in on the SAL that I'm doing with
Sue. I would like to see more squares filled in, however, I'm anxious to get to the edges. Anal as I am, I'm wanting to fill in the stitching according to what is on pattern page 1, then page 2 etc. This has definitely been a fun stitch, although, there are times when I want to see some color other than a variant of green. Thankfully, I have my Red Thread piece to pick up when that happens. I don't have a progress picture of that, but I'll post one next time. I've been making progress with my teach myself to quilt project and now have 4 of the blocks done. It takes 6 blocks for each
placemat. I figure I'll finish the 24 blocks and then start piecing together the
placemat tops. I'll post a picture of these once I get the
placemats pieced.
Well, it is cold outside and I think I need to go sit in my corner and stitch. Stay warm and enjoy your endeavors this week.
Cheers,

You've made a lot of progress, you're still past me. I think you can spare a bit of time from the greens and do Red Thread. It is surprising how quickly this seems to be moving. That's great that he's back to bugging his brother (although not for you as you have to listen to it) and that he's not needing the tylenol as much. Hope it continues to do well and heal quickly.

Lots of great progress. This looks good! Looking forward to seeing your quilt!

Your SAL piece is looking lovely some of those squares are cool (celtic knot, bargello, etc)
The cacti is lovely and I hope your sons soon ok.
