One Flower Wednesday

Wednesday is almost over in my part of the world but I made it with one flower for my grandmother's flower garden quilt. You can join the garden party too. Just go over to Karen's blog and sign up.
I made my mom a lavender sachet for Mother's Day. I got this pattern from Freebies for Crafters. Khris is always sharing great links for things to make.
I would like to wish all of you are mothers a Very Happy Mother's Day. Enjoy your day!
For those of you who follow my blog you know that I have been having problems with my elbow. The tendonitis has flared up again. The pain has never really gone completely away so I decided to see a new physical therapist and he highly recommends that I stay off the computer and not do any hand work. So for the next three weeks I will not be doing any posts. This is going to be hard for me and I sure will miss visiting with you all. I am going to use this time to go through my UFO piles and see how I can get the projects closer to being finished. So I will be back in June.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

If I had a flower for each time I thought of my Mother, I could walk in my garden forever. Anonymous

  1. I seem to have that problem myself and not enough sense to stop using my arm;) I hope you feel better soon, will miss your posts.

  2. Now THAT is a pretty flower. Looks like pink lemonade. :) I love that you use different prints for the petals.
    Sorry to hear about your elbow. Take it easy so you can get better.

  3. I LOVE the little sachet! I'm going to have to add it to my "to-do" list (once I figure out how to add a to-do list to my blog)! Great work!

  4. I forgot to add... you can comment by proxy. Get a helper to type for you! AND go to your local health store and get some Arnica (a natural supplement). It is excellent for buising, muscles, and tendons and other soft tissue healing. A cream is great to rub right on the spot, but you can also take a small capsule for your whole body. Hope you are better soon and go find that assistant typist! ;o)

  6. Your hexxie flower and sachet are both lovely, Carrie! I hope you have a very happy and blessed Mother's Day - I am so going to miss you. But I understand completely, been there done that! Do as he says and I will be praying that you heal completely. And don't you dare reply to any of these posts, lol! Read some good books, watch some mindless tv, go visiting and soak up lots of sunshine.
    Be well, dear one.

  7. Carrie, good luck at working on your UFO's. I'm saying a little prayer you'll get the rest needed for your elbow. I'll miss your posts as I check each day to see if you left a note on your blog.

  8. Oh no, quilter down! I hope you enjoy the break but most importantly that you get the elbow back in working order.

  10. I'm praying that you will have a complete and speedy recovery, Carrie. Will it hurt to turn the pages of quilting magazines? Cup of tea, a glass of lemonade, put your feet up and REST. Hugs!

  16. Hope the elbow is bertter real soon. I had that problem years ago and wore a wide strap around my arm just below the elbow and that helped a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Very sweet sachet. I must make one too!
    Will miss your blog but hopefully a rest will do your elbow good! I have tendonitis in my wrist so I understand how painful it can be.

  24. Take care of yourself - I'll miss you and all the great information (and quotes) that you share with us. I'm guessing you shouldn't do housework or cook dinner for the next few weeks either! ;)

  25. Get well! I'll miss seeing your posts.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh, we will miss you but it is something you must do.

    BTW, do doctors look for the one thing you love the most and decide that is the one thing you must do without?! Just a rhetorical question. Don't answer....I want you to get better!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Rest is best though we will all be missing you.

    Take care :0)

  41. I hope you won't think I'm a nut, but I have two suggestions that may help you. First is "Two Old Goats" lotion. It is amazing stuff (you can buy it online if you don't have a local source). I use it every day for pain. Second is, have you considered acupuncture? I was absolutely a sceptic until I did it myself. It's pretty amazing. Hope you feel better soon! I really enjoy your blog!

  42. Oh dear, take care of yourself and we'll see you when you are ready to come back!

  46. Hi Carrie,
    I hope the rest is helping. Are you going through withdrawal yet? lol It must be so hard not being able to pick up your applique or stitchery.
    Take care.
