I was digging thru my Pattern Bin this weekend, looking for something different to make, and tripped across "Jazzy" by Julie Booth, teeny li'l wrap dolls. OK, these should be called Potato Chip Dolls, you can't make just one!! Or "Tangles", cos the hair tangles with the fabric while you're wrapping, but boy, they sure are fun...

Here's the latest oddfae to arrive -- li'l Rea the bird fae! I think there's a whole flock of these guys about to be hatched!!

As promised, the doll I displayed at the Dimensions in Dollmaking show this past weekend...

The San Diego Quilt Show/Dimensions in Dollmaking is this weekend, and once again, I'll be teaching a face sculpting class...wish me luck with my doll, there are prizes!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Saw the knee specialist this afternoon...he did more xrays and a more in-depth look at the MRI. The ACL is detached, we knew that, but rather than a lateral ligament tear, the medial meniscus (on the inside of the knee) is torn, and both the large bones are bruised badly -- it shows up on the xray as big white patches. He said it may take a year for the bruising to heal.

I'm off the crutches and walking with a cane. I'm going to do two months of physical therapy, to see if the knee will stabilise, then I will see the doc again and we will talk if surgery is needed.

.....and the cold has become flu, and I've lost my voice. =-P

The oddfae did quite well at Comic Con (3 gone to new homes, and so many Hermits adopted I lost count!), and some of the dolls went to the Doll and Teddy Bear EXPO last weekend, where one of them found a new home...they're starting to leave faster than I make them!

Finally saw the orthopedist this AM, 6 weeks after the injury!...I have a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and the ligament on the outside of the knee is torn as well, with bruising on the bones. I am in a smaller brace and can walk with a cane if there isn't too much pain, otherwise I'm still on crutches. I'm not good with stairs yet...am waiting for an appointment with a sports medicine dr to discuss surgical options.
