I broke my left ankle in 2 places on May 1, 2025

May 8, 2025: My computer is now set up in a spare bedroom so now I am able to daily updates. Since I do need help getting to my office and order processing area, in the basement, I am not able to process orders for at least a week or two. After June 20, I may only be able to get to my basement work area, 2 days a week. I am not sure how long it will be where I will need a lot of help to do what I do. I do know my ankle needs surgery, which is on Friday May 9, 2025. After that, I am not sure what will happen.

Cute Little Shade Pull

Designed by Julie A. Bolduc

This shade pull is very fast and easy and could easily be the base for a really cute lapel pin by adding a bow, and perhaps some ribbon roses. And then a pin to the back. Or if you use green thread and some red beads and a red bow, you could have a really festive Christmas wreath pin.
