A Few Thoughts For a Saturday Morning...

Up early on a Saturday morning enjoying the sun that is finally shining, haha, or was. They did say partly cloudy,ugh :). Im feeling so much better day by day, its amazing to think that only 2 1/2 wks ago I had major back surgery. Im thinking that I may go for a walk at the very least (always helps) and possibly some lunch out with my lovely Andrea (daughter, eldest). Need to call/text her to see what she's up to. The age of communication,geez, lol

Well as for dolls and my latest project, I am progressing very well. I am at the stuffing stage and already have the head ready to be sculpted. This doll should be really interesting, it has some anatomically correct shaping, no dangly parts as the artist states but definitely shaped. I have some more pictures for you to see and then I think I will go on my walk.

I want to get a newspaper from the vending machine in our complex, first come first serve. Better get hustling!
See you soon, Michelle

Where's the Sun?

Im beginning to wonder...Where's the Sun? We have had rain, rain, rain, storm, thunder, lightning, more rain, lots of green growing, flowers, birds, more rain. The birds are having a field day out in the protected woods that are my view from my backyard. I have no less than at least 20 species of birds for my viewing pleasure. The type that I see the most are Mallord ducks, Canadian geese and Red Winged blackbirds. I've had visits from cardinals, bluejays, finches, starlings, robins and one other that I dont know the name of on my patio. The bird that I viewed a few days ago was light brown with a light blueish back going to its tail and a bright orange beek. It was no larger than a cardinal but I've never seen it before then. I've viewed a few herons in the past 4 yrs, of course thats what our area was named after...The Heron!

So I've been recouping from my back sugery for the last week and expect that I have at least a few more to go. Every day keeps getting better and I will get to the dolls as soon as possible. I had thought that I would be able to at least work on some of the details but that isnt happening for me. Soon enough:)Until then I am content to work on getting stronger!

I will go for a walk today, possibly on the treadmill at the gym in our complex. I was going to go outside and walk through the complex walkways but its cold out and raining too. So I will see everyone in a few after my walk.

Thanks for dropping by, Dulce :)the mending doll weaver

It would be wonderful to be visiting this place!

Yay! the first day back!

Hello to everyone....I have been back from surgery/hospital since wed. evening and on the mend. I've been doing quite well and noticing new abilities each day...yay!

I was told that I could not pick up more than 10 lbs, needed to walk as much as possible and lots of breathing exercises! Im doing all of the previous religiously :)

I've been so absorbed though in mending that I have not had the inclination to post anything or to make anything just yet. But its in the near future, I can feel it.

I've been out with my Lovely daughter Andrea this morning (first time out) and we went to breakfast. Great food and beautiful company. We also went to a few shops for some bits and pieces that we both needed. We both purchased a few candles, one vanilla and the other mango. So far the Vanilla smells greeeeeaaat!I will light the other maybe tomorrow :D

Well its off to bed with me and I will be back tomorrow. Have to get some rest after all that walking, felt so good though. The picture is from the walk I took along the CF river before the surgery.
Enjoy,

Talk to you soon, Dulce
