foot news

for those following about my foot, got news yesterday that i did not need to come back up for a cast but ...there is always a but with me isn't there, i can not walk on it yet. that will be another month before i get the ok there. as long as i use the boot and wheelie...i am good.

dolphin update and kustom krafts sal

here are two pictures...one is the update of my dolphins...working on page six... the other is a stitch along with the yahoo group Kustom Krafts ..hope you enjoy

today i am going to be sitting again and cross stitching..next monday i go to get cast off i hope. my fingers are crossed that it will be allowed. i am so scared that the fusion did not take again. but time will tell.

chance seems to be growing huge...now he can no longer fit on my roll about comfortably. it is sooo funnny.

bruiser had to be outside with mike while it was raining..wanted to come in and lay on the couch.

saturday we went and saw something about steve...i was getting down and needed an uplift and getting out of the house. long rides are not comfortable for me and i can't walk much cause all the blood goes into my toes if i am walking. it just hangs there.... that gets uncomfortable. so the movies got me out..made me feel kinda normal...and gave me something stupid to laugh at.

going to cross stitch..have a great day.

this week

not much is going on really..day sixty of this cast. on the 14th I go see what is going to happen next. praying it comes off and I get to start walking. will be a diffrent experience i know...but I will go on. have been sitting and cross stitching...looking forward to maybe the machine next week. time will tell...

what will today bring

today we will be heading to buckeye furnace...down near jackson ohio...may post some pictures later not sure. enjoying the weekend and keeping busy..looking forward to monday when i can rest!!!!

have a wonderful day and keep those hands on some type of fiber.

Pat

our dog...here is bruiser

awww best friends...they even sleep together...will post more pictures later...80 lbs dog and 3 lb cat...

ahhh booo booo our oldest

here he is on my gracie frame...he enjoys playing when i try to quilt...grabbing from underside as i set up my quilts...this is his domain. and yes i collect coca cola ...

Chance...bigger yet

here is our stray...at his best...i apprecaite nancy taking the pictures and sharing them with me. we love him bunches...and i think he loves us...but i have to find a pic that shows his tail.

Miss Mystic

here is a picture of our middle cat...just like a middle child she holds to herself quite often. she is the wonderful cat that i received from a service man in chillicothe ohio who could not take her to the base. she has brighened our world...

Chance is growing up

update on my dolphins at play

This was taken Sunday, i finished page four...hope you enjoy...I know I am.

page two finished

here is the second page i have done on my Dolphins at play from Kustom Krafts inc...hope you like it..i know i am looking forward to having this finished and hanging in my bathroom.

there is that sweet cat chance...he is feeling much better as you all can see. nice stray! also some grandmother flower garden that was in a box given to me off free cycle..and to entice a bulls eye swap...here are some of the ones i have made. yippee very fun to do..thanks ms scrappypants for yelling at me about the ironing...hope they pass inspection.

what i am working on kinda

this is a english paper piecing project i have been working on..all hand stitched using thirties fabric. and a kona natural i think i used. hope to work on it some more during recovery.

well today i was going to post pictures of my retreat jacket and the wonderful purse i made there. but my camera is dead so that is not possible. so i will be posting another day those and some of the hexagon parts i have. i am thinking of doing a swap with nickle quilt sqares so that i can make a few more charm totes.

i smell the steak and potatoes that are on the grill so going to leave this for now. have a wonderful day.

well i thought i would post a picture of the stray that turned into a pet. mike wanted to call him last chance...so i am just calling him chance...here is a picture of him...sooo cute...it irks me that people are so rude to throw out a cat like this. he was sick, enough to take him to the vets, but he loves people and other animals...we have two other cats and a dog. i think he came into our life to replace the other dog that passed two weeks ago. anyway..here is his pic. i love his racoon type tail.

Here is a picture taken last month of our younger dog bruiser. he thinks he has to sit on the chairs outside i guess since he sits on the couch in here. Mike took this since i had surgery and could not walk but wanted to me to see. Two sweet men in my life...
