| Miss A's watercolor art |
I listed few goals because I didn't know if or how much I'd be able to stitch as I recovered from knee revision surgery on September 14. This was a good plan because sitting to sew at the machine is still uncomfortable. Although, I managed a number of 30 minute sessions yesterday! I attribute the improvement to pain medication. I'm making progress with the knee rehab so I will take that as a WIN!

The best part of the month was hanging out with my London daughter and granddaughter. We did a little online shopping for an unnecessary; but important item--rainbow sparkly slippers. The deal was for her to wear her slippers and not her mama's dress shoes. Let's see how long the four year old's memory lasts now that they are home!

Her favorite activity is painting. My favorite of her work is her spinning ballerina in shades of pink. Her favorite is her flower because she had fun mixing shades of brown! Her two favorite techniques were splattering and using her fingers to make dots.
She left some chalk art behind for her papa and me to enjoy. It was fun to have her here.

Best Book of the month: The Boxcar Librarian by Brianna Labuskes. This is a story filled with mystery, corruption and secrecy. It revolves around three women in Montana back when the copper mining companies were king. The unifying factor is the love of books and sharing
that love with others.
