Yesterday I had to take Hunter to see his podiatrist because he has been having a lot of pain in his left foot. He has special made inserts that he has to wear all of the time and I had just bought him a new pair of Nike's last week so I figured it was because of the new shoes. She said he was having the pain because of a growth plate in the heal area that was strained, irritated, and inflamed. So he is now on crutches for 10-14 days. She told him that it would not get better unless he stayed off of it. This is only day 2 and he is about to go crazy! :( He is very active so it is hard on him not to be outside running through the woods. He went back to school today and he hated it. To make him feel a little better last night I put some camo duct tape on his crutches and made him a little pouch that attaches to one of them so that he can carry his little cars and such around. :) Today he said that his friends thought his "camo crutches" were cool. Things we do to make our kids feel better....
I'm still plugging along on my quilts...here is my Hugs & Kisses. I only have a little over half of the blocks made. In the end, I'm hoping for a king size quilt.
A few more of the blocks...
I'm still working on the hand applique on my Dresden's during the evening while sitting with the family.
A few of my Butterscotch Pie blocks. Only one of these are actually sewn together. The others are just on the design wall so that I could lay them out and spread my colors around.
A close up of the ONE that is completely sewn together.
That's all for tonight, I have to run downstairs to get ice for Hunter's foot. A mother's job is never done...

Poor Hunter! I love the camo on the crutches! And I love your Butterscotch pie blocks! They look great! :0)
Each of these three projects is a wonderful scrap creation! Whenever I see your projects I wish I was making them. : )
Hope Hunter can endure the restrictions. I was at my podiatrist yesterday and am now in a foot brace--I can relate. I can't do so much of what I want to do right now! Arghhh!
Crutches are BRUTAL! I feel so bad for him.
Your blocks are coming along nicely, I really adore those Dresden ones.
Your poor son. Being young and active but laid up is no fun at all but you've found a way to brighten is mood!!
Hugs & Kisses and Butterscotch Pie blocks are now my favorites just because you showed them off and I love how they look......LOL....I've placed them on my ToDo list.
Your blocks are looking great. I feel for Hunter, I've been 12 months with foot pain because I ignored pain and didn't stay off it. I hope Hunter has a speedy recovery.
Love those butterscotch blocks! Hope HUnter feels better very soon!!
All the projects are lovely. Hope Hunter is feeling a little better. Never fun to be on limited mobility - especially as an active young boy.
