Coming out of the fog

Thanks to all of you for your kind wishes about health. The treatments are every 4 weeks and I’m thankful that they continue to keep my vertigo at bay and to keep the hearing in my “good ear” at a very high functioning level most of the month. It’s worth it to be “grounded” in [...]

Even More Gifts

‘Tis the season, right? Well, I had my treatment on Monday. I was pretty sick during it and the IV had to be reinserted twice, so it was not my favorite day. And, though it took longer for me to get through it, I had the pleasure of Angie’s company for a couple of hours. [...]

A meme

This meme was on Leah’s blog. In catching up with blogs, I thought it was a good post for this morning before I get back to my sewing! Do you own a gun? No freakin’ way! What do you think of hot dogs? EW. Not a fan. What do you prefer to drink in the [...]

New Toys

Yesterday I felt all cooped up in the house. Angie had told me the day before that there was a Jo-Ann’s Fabrics going out of business near her. Since I started making the totes, I needed some larger cuts of fabric and I’ve been going through thread like water! So, I headed over there to [...]

Gifts: Finished Totes

I mentioned in my last post that I was working on some arty totes for the nurses at my husband’s practice who take care of me during my monthly treatments. After seeing them in process, my husband asked if I’d make one for the free clinic nurse manager. (Click on them to see larger images!) [...]

More about Gifts

I have been working on gifts for the staff at my infusion center and one of the nurses at the free clinic. I’ve been working on the totes and I’ve completed the collaged quilts that are going to adorn the front of the totes. To the left are two of the three completed quilties. Three [...]

Holiday gifts

Thank you all for your comments about my fun girls’ weekend with Angie. We really did have an awesome time. Since I’ve been back, I’ve been working hard on some gifts I’m making this year. The first, which is finished, I completed yesterday. It’s a cellphone pouch and a bookmark. Both are quilted and collaged [...]

Prescott, AZ Girls’ Weekend

Late yesterday I returned from a lovely trip with Angie. We went away for our first (of what we expect to be many!) girls’ weekend. Prescott is about 90 miles north of Phoenix. It’s a fairly easy drive and there’s some great views. Before we got on the road, I pulled a bag out of [...]
