work on the bag continuesthis is essentially the entire front panel, ready for the next steps
it's quite an event when I actually follow the step by step directions for anything, but in this case I'm deferring to the pattern designers greater experience (which doesn't mean I won't make another altered bag!)
so today I hope to get the back panel this far
work on the blue planet piece continues too -- I have only 4 more of the little paper doll figures to stitch down -- looking good -- after further consideration I decided to leave them the size I originally cut -- it will make it a lot easier to do the embroidery that comes next if they are that size not smaller
last night I tested the hypothesis regarding the quilting thread and the new thimble and confirmed it -- I'll be finishing the quilting with the soft thimble
yesterday morning I took the DH to see the specialist to have his shoulder looked at -- they took a number of X-rays and did some physical examination -- after which they gave him a cortisone shot in the shoulder -- he goes back in four weeks and they will re-evaluate the situation -- this doctor was actually concerned by the lack of flexibility and mobility in the other (supposedly repaired) shoulder too -- and the DH liked him -- a positive sign too! we'll see how this all works out

Oh goodness, good luck. I had a damaged shoulder that the surgeon was going to operate on till he told me it might make it worse--sorry, I'm out of here.
Prior to that they put, over two years, four cortisone shots into it. Had they told me that one can react to those--usually starting after the third one--to eat away your cartilege there, I would have turned that down too. But I didn't know, they did it, and a follow-up bone scan later showed that very damage had been done. It's something to know.
Years of physical therapy later, the shoulder's actually okay. Not perfect, but not in ongoing pain either and I have almost full range of motion.
