Today I did a little FMQ

 5 Days before Christmas Day, not the best way to get out of cooking!!!!!

After the first week I found out it was a very bad sprain and a crack in a bone in my ankle.  But the x-rays showed there was an old brake which I did not know about.  How could that happen without knowing!!!!!!!
Check out the cushion!!!!! Found a use for it!!!!!!!!

 One great thing that has come from it is my husband has had to learn to cook after 42 years of marriage now there is no excuse!!!!!!!
I have been watching a lot of quilting DVDs, and doing a bit of red work, reading quilting books BUT today I did a little FMQ using my left foot on the foot control.  I have to keep my leg up as much as possible, then back to fracture clinic on the 11th Jan....................

I have been working on this tree for some time now!!! It is not quite finished as I still have to stitch on the tree and the brooches.   This is made from my Mother-in-laws custom jewelry.  I hope one of my children would like to inherit one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or maybe a grand child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
