6 minutes before I have to get ready for work...so, I tell myself, what better thing to do that post a message on my blog...and the answer is...housework. Well, as you can see I picked the lesser of the evils...LOL!!!
I just had three glorious days off from work, got to spend time with family, one of my favorite things to do. I made some felt cupcakes and donuts for Christmas presents, and did some crocheting. I shopped at my favorite store...AC Moore. (should I get paid for saying that...LOL!!!) I could spend a fortune there. If only I had the fortune to spend. I just love that store.
So, now I only have 2 minutes and am going to get myself going. So...I hope everyone has a great day, as I plan to.

Believe it or not, I am getting excited about Christmas coming. What???? you say! Halloween isn't even here yet. Well, I am trying to make a lot of presents for Christmas this year, as money is tight...(just like it is for many many people). So I am having loads of fun, trying to figure out what I can make that will make everyone happy. It seems like two months is a long time, but I know that it will be here before I can blink. So with this in mind, I am trying to work on at least one present for a couple hours every night.
I want to post some more pictures, but will have to take the time...LOL!!! And there is always so much I want to do. Sometimes. I just sit in my chair and watch tv because I can't decide what I want to do the most. Do you think I am nuts? Well, I do. But it's ok. I like being a little nuts.
Well off to work...and another wonderful day in the neighborhood.

Well, let me see...what wonderful news can I impart today. Ok, well maybe today isn't a wonderful news day, but I am up, awake, and healthy. I think I am not feeling bad...so it must be a wonderful day. Another added bonus...I don't hear any rain outside. Maybe we will be blessed with a sunny day for a change.
I made cookies yesterday, and yes, I did try them out. I had a peanut butter cookie, and a sugar cookie. Now that means that I probably will not budge the scales any lower today, but that is ok. Today is a new day and today can be a good day. It will be what I make it so I think that I will make it good.
Hey everyone...have a wonderful day. Make it yours, and make it good.

Good Morning World. Another wonderful day in the neighborhood. It is getting cooler, and I am not too keen on that, but well, so far all is right with the world and I will thank God for that.
Have been having some tummy troubles since the bout I had a few days ago. Nothing horrible, just a lot of gas, discomfort, and some pains when I stretch to the right side or lift something too heavy. I do have an appointment with the surgeons office on the 18th, so unless it gets really bad I will wait for that.
I was visiting my Mom last week, and she said she wished she had a sweater set that my Gram used to make, to send to her grand nephew...who just had a baby girl. So, I came home and proceeded to see if I could make one. I found a lovely pattern http://krstl.tripod.com/id26_drawstring_purse.htm (scroll down to second pattern.) I adjusted it a little to suit my beginner ways...and this is what I came up with.

Another wonderful day in progress!!!

Well here I am with an update to my gastric bypass journey. Still losing hair, but not in gobs or anything...nonetheless...it is a little worrisome. I am, however, down 95 pds (which I might say is a step in the right direction.) It is pretty amazing how for a couple (sometimes even three or four weeks) you will keep on eating the same way, but not lose a pd. Then all of the sudden you will go down 10 or so pds...and the brakes come on...and there you sit for a while. Now I am not complaining, if my body needs some time to adjust to the new weight...I will allow it. (as if I had a choice...LOL!!!)
Anyway, after having a bad bout the other night...threw up for 3 hrs. (everyone is thinking it might be my gall bladder.) Yes, I was bad and ate a piece of Kentucky Fried Chicken. It was delicious, but I can guarantee that I won't be eating it again anytime soon. Bad, Bad...pains in my stomach and upper back. I have never had such awful pains in my stomach. Called the doctor and they said keep them updated, we may need to schedule an ultra sound. Doesn't that sound like fun.
Still.....down 95 pds...not complaining.

Ok now, here is something to make you hungry. This is a pizza made of felt that I am making for a niece for Christmas. I sure hope she is going to like this. First we have cheese pizza, then pepperoni, then mushrooms, onions, and peppers...am I making you hungry yet? Looks pretty tasty to me.

Latest project

I just finished this diaper cake. It is a centerpiece for a baby shower. The mother has already had the baby...and prematurely at that. Mother and baby are both doing well. Now it is time to celebrate.
I hope you enjoy looking.
