After the laser surgery, I was informed that my eye was still in extreme danger and for the next few weeks there was to be no bending over, stooping or lifting anything more than 10 lbs. I had some shows coming up in a few days and was a bit worried how I was going to manage. I was considering cancelling but decided to go ahead but with extreme caution and the help of a couple of friends.
So the Craft-a-Fair and Trunk show at Silhouette Fashion Boutique were in the same week and both went very well -- even with all the worrying. I feel my eye is healing but still another week to go so will proceed still with caution. This Saturday I will be doing another Trunk show in Salmon Arm but this time at Intwined Fibre Arts. The main focus is still my Snap Decisions Collection but this time focusing mainly on items for scarves, shawls and sweaters.
My last (Christmas) show for this year is the Okanagan Artisan Sale at the Vernon Lodge. This show has a great reputation with high quality artists that are accepted in only by a jury so is a real thrill to be a vendor this year.
After my last show I have other things I want to focus on. I haven't written or published any tutorials in a while and have several in the background ready to finish. So it is a surprise but a few word hints would be: resin, buttons and bling!

OMG Carolyn what a bummer. Please take care. A few years ago my Retinologist had to perform a Vitrectomy which was successful but caused a cataract to grow quickly thus another operation. I was left with 30% vision in my right eye.
Losing your vision can be a real bummer Lawrence. Pretty scary as well as my work and life depend so much on it. I knew you had cataract surgery (just before Betina's workshop) but hadn't realized about the after effects. Hope you are still keeping sell aside the vision loss which is so unfortunate.
Wishing you health and good eyesight. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
