Rabbit Bloomers Made

 Yesterday was another sunny day with a high of 23C. This morning it is mainly cloudy and 12C. We may have had a shower during the night. Today is supposed to be sunny with a high of 23C. 

Lifestyle

I spent the morning either sitting on the couch with heat on my SI joint and glute or on the bed doing exercises. Both of those hurt like crazy and I was walking with great difficulty and was leaning to the side. It was up and down between the two places. 

After lunch, I decided to walk around and took out the garbage and recycling to the garage. I also picked the over ripe sun burnt tomatoes and put them in the compost bin. It was hard but the walking did help some. Doing the stairs severals times also helped. 

My friend and I were to dinner at family's. Daughter-in-law made jambalaya and it was delicious. Son told us all about his trip to Uruguay and we had a great visit. We got home a bit later than expected but we had a lovely evening with them. 

Sewing

I was able to sew yesterday as long as I moved around the room to keep my SI joint from getting really sore. I finished the bloomers and am pleased with how they turned out. 

Instead of adding ribbon to the end of a small amount of elastic and sewing it in place, I thread ribbon through the waist casing. It worked out just as good and was easier to do. 

Overall, I would make these again if I need to but would make them in white so they would go with all of her clothes. 

Knitting

None done last night as I got home late. 

Thoughts

    My SI joint released more during the night. I did hear one crack before I fell asleep. It is less sore this morning so I am going to continue with the exercises and heat. I will also keep moving around to make sure I am balancing sitting and walking. 

    I am slowly getting the fabric I bought this year sewn up. I know I will have a few pieces left to work on next year as I won't be doing much sewing in October. The good thing is, I. haven't bought a lot of fabric this year and most of it has been sewn and a piece put in with the quilt fabric. What is left is minimal and will be sewn up in early 2026. 

Today

I have to do the balance sheet this morning and sew a button on a top. I have to do heat and exercises for my SI joint. I want to make a bag this afternoon and knit tonight. I have a quiet day planned so I can focus on getting my SI joint released and the muscles around it relaxed. 

Until the next time..........................................................
