Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Vintage Burlap Tags}

June 18, 2019

Hello My Friends! I hope this finds you enjoying summer. June has been a difficult month for me on a physical note. I had started an Aqua therapy class and on the second day injured my ankle on June 6. I stayed off it, and the swelling has not gone away so they are wondering if it is a tendon.

Then on June 14th, I took a terrible fall and fractured my humerus near the shoulder. We are not sure about the wrist at this point. I was at 4 doctor’s yesterday, and see the specialists in two days, Needless to say, this is all on my right side…my stroke effected side. I am trying to sleep in a lazy boy each night. I am not sure if surgery will be performed, it is a wait and see how I mend with arm.
So, I probably will not be creating art as my right arm is a sling for healing and my wrist is a mess.

I hope to be back in the groove soon and creating! I have been building my YouTube channel and would love if you can stop by and subscribe.

    Burlap paper comes in sheets? I have never seen that before. Very cool and convenient for creating. Your tags are lovely. I am so sorry to hear about your ankle and your arm and your wrist. Yikes! That is a lot to deal with at one time. I will keep you in my thoughts. Wishing you a speedy and complete healing (without surgery). Take it easy and take care. Don’t do more than necessary while you are mending. Best wishes, Tammy

    My dear Nancy ,
    you have been in my thoughts , with hopes you was better, but I can hear it is a slowly healing for your arm, and the wrist , which there are no knowlage as yet – I`m so sorry my friend. It is not easy to handle the everyday problems, now, how are you doing, are someone coming to help ? I hope the doctors can find out if to operate or let it heal slowly, by itself, – for you to know, what is the deal .
    I love your burlap tags , and will be there to see what you did . Sending you loving thoughts and hugs, dear friend. Dorthe

    Hello Nancy~
    These tags are gorgeous! and the tutorial was perfectly inspiring! I will be on the hunt for the “burlap paper” : )
    My heart breaks for you, that you’ve had to endure more pain and complications :( I am praying you will heal well and fast! (I too sprained my ankle a week ago; it’s still swollen…)
    Please know how much we love your work! So authentically inviting and beautiful. We would still love to see more – maybe some “repeat performances”?! IF you choose : ) Hugs to you my friend~ karen o

    I forgot to ask about something. Do you use a professional sewing machine? I was wondering about the thickness of the burlap paper; and then adding layers of lace, etc – [seems thick for an average machine?] I would love to give your lesson a try! TFS~ karen o
