So sorry to hear about your problems, but I'm sure you'll manage to adjust your lifestyle to a new way of living. I wish you well and do hope you are able to continue with some sewing, but if not you still feel able to share with us a corner of your life. <br />With very best wishes<br />SusanDSusan Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335698025414437006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482123419519585242.post-67003229528297352312018-01-22T07:11:27.387-08:002018-01-22T07:11:27.387-08:00Margy, I'm so glad to hear from you!

I'm so very glad to hear its not life threatening, but it sounds as though it is very much life changing! I love your sense of style, and you are an inspiration to me - I'm planning on making myself a motorcycle style jacket this year and have been stalking your posts on the ones you made!

I am very sorry about your foot, I can imagine it would be life-changing, and the goal would be to keep it from becoming self-changing in a way that doesn't work for you. I admire you so much, and I hear your voice from that time we had lunch and it inspires me. Wishing you all the best for 2018.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482123419519585242.post-72711359158775861332018-01-15T20:41:51.840-08:002018-01-15T20:41:51.840-08:00Thank you so much, Anne.

You are beautiful person inside regardless if you can't wear your beautiful clothes. Sounds like an opportunity to go shopping or stitch some new things!! I have been enjoying "slow stitching" as in Alabama Chanin style. And, I'm loving it----all hand stitching. If you cant get to your studio or machine, maybe consider this. We had such fun together in Paris and I think of those good times often. If you want to chat more my email is: riharmelink@comcast.net. Or, I can send you my cell number via email and we can chat for real!! On your recommendation I ordered LFF last week. Can't wait to get it.

With your grace, sense of style, love of travel and living fully, I found much more than the sewing inspiration and tips I was originally seeking! I'm very sorry to learn about the challenges you're facing with your foot injury and wish you the very best for moving forward and being able to enjoy the activities that nourish you.

I am a ...Oh I am sorry to hear of your foot issues. I am a physical therapist in my other life . It is hard when these tings are inflicted on you . I am so very sorry to hear that it has been so hard to adjust . All I can say is that the clients I have who focus on what they have left and make the most of it do better than those who stay grieving their loss for too long . That is easy to say but I do feel that you have a great capacity to adapt as shown by your keeping up with fashion etc and traveling the world . I feel that you are an optimist at heart . Try exercising in the pool , its possible to work really hard in water with the right instruction . That way you will keep up your muscle tone and strength. I will look forward to seeing you get back to being you .
