That a fresh coat of paint was all that was needed to wipe away the years off one’s face!
A lot of us with Charcot Foot are doin’ a lot of time…NWB (non-weight-bearing) time, that is. Some of us are fortunate enough (though some may find it unfortunate!) to be able to continue at work/ in their jobs because perhaps they they have sit-down situations. But for those of us doing the time thing, we need to keep busy! So here is today’s project, which managed to keep me out of trouble for a few hours:
My mom likes gnomes, and any time we see one at a garage sale we take him home with us. They most always need a fresh coat of paint and this one was a sad little Christmas gnome, pale and faded from years in the North Pole. I could tell he was so over the Christmas thing, and so I felt he needed to be returned to a hearty Norwegian fellow, like all good gnomes should be. He regained a blue-eyed twinkle and is now enjoying his rosy cheeks and fiery red hair! Oh, I added some quilt design to his coat, since my mom loves quilting, and it makes him warmer, lol!
