SNOW IN MARCH???????

Well I can't believe we keep getting snow. It is the 27th of March. Yesterday the snow was coming down so hard and the flakes were as big as silver dollars. Jack was jumping and biting at the flakes. For the rest of the day it was sunny. Snow melted way. My husband said their was a bad hail storm on the highway, and several cars and trucks ended up in the ditches and on their tops. I went to sleep, listening to the pouring rain.

Today I woke up to 4 to 5 inches of snow. The snow plows are out and about.

Shot, Bunny, Helper

Well last Friday I went to get my shot for my back. The roads were horrible. It was snowing bad. Cars in the ditchs. Made it up there safely. I find that in most doctor offices, they just do things to you and don't tell you what they are going to do. I am so glad this was a chatty nurse. She started telling me what she was going to put in my IV and I said hold it right there. She was going to put a drug in the IV that the last time sent me to the ER. It is in my records, for pete sake.

She had a terrible time getting the IV in. In one arm pull out try another direction, again and again. Did not work so tried the other arm. Same procedure in, not working, out turn. Finally success. Good thing I am not afraid of needles. The shot was not so bad. Done and out of there. A little loopy for the rest of the day and slept a lot. I am actually starting to feel human again. The shot was sooooooo worth it.

I started crocheting this bunny a couple of weeks ago. I finished making the pieces week before last, but always afraid of putting them together. Worried that I won't get the face done right, so I put it off. Well yesterday was Easter, and I wanted him done. So here he is. Hubby took nice photos.

Had to add this picture. I was looking through my tatting books and patterns, to find my next project. My cat "Miss Hemmie" decided to help. She is a little hard to see through.

Just In Time For Easter

I finally finished this egg cover. It is a pattern by Terry McGuffin. I decided to add a crystal and tassel at the bottom.

Too Busy to Blog

Well have been very busy.

The quilts have been coming in like crazy.

My back is still not good, so it is taking me longer to do each quilt. I finally saw a specialist, and he has scheduled me to get a steroid shot in the effected area. My MRI shows a bulging disk. It is pinching my nerves which is causing the pain all the way down to my foot. Frustrating thing I found out is that the MRI for 2 years ago shows the same thing, but not as bad. At that time the docs said that nothing was wrong with my back. So as a last resort they sent me to a OB-GYN, he decided that maybe I had endometriosis, so they needed to preform a hysterectomy. So I went through that surgery for no reason, and now deal with Hot Flashes.

Well now onto better things. I have been working on some tatting and also more miniature critters. I like to do too many things. Here is a picture of what I tatted. I have wanted to do this pattern for awhile.

As for the miniature critter, I am working on a bunny, and will post pictures when I get all the pieces together.

And FINALLY........THE LAST OF THE SNOW HAS MELTED from my yard. I am feeling spring.

I hired my adult daughter to come and clean and organize my house. Boy did she do a great job. Everything is organized and I can once again get in my sewing room and sew. Only down side, trying to find what I am looking for. I have to keep calling her. I also gave her the ok to throw things out. I am bad about that.

Doctors, Quilting & Tatting

Well I started Valentines day off by going to the doctors. Now broken out in hives. Great! Since my back is still not better and it has been 3 months, he referred me to a spine specialist. So I go see him in March.

Valentines day got better when I got home. There was a beautifull purple flowering plant from my hubby and a wonderful card.

Was able to quilt more this week. I quilted 4 quilts and 4 pillow shams.

I did more test tatting this week. I also tatted up another one of Jane's patterns. This frog is for my daughter. Being valentines week, I also tatted a heart from a pattern I had been wanting to tat for a long time. It is by Sue Fuller.

Tatting and Cards

Well I am still dealing with back pain, so I have alot of down time. I have been occupying my time by test tatting for one of the Tatting Artists. Can't show those pictures, but here is a bookmark I made for my daughter-in-law for valentines.


I have also been quilting customers quilts when the pain allows.


I also had a friend in OR who saw the Hanky Card I did for my d-i-l. She loved it and was making a couple of wedding hankys. She asked me if you could purchase the cards from me. So I embroidered two cards for her and put them in the mail. Here is a picture of one of her cards.

Too Much Snow!

Well it just keeps snowing here. It seems as soon as my hubby shovels it has another couple of inches. While I was out today, a lady's cel phone rang. Someone in her family was telling her that the road to their house was now closed. Wonder what she will do. They say the storm is suppose to hit us on Thursday. We are already getting more snow than we usually do. Here are some pictures I took today. The first two are of my back yard. You can see the snow piled on the fence. The 3rd picture is of my grape vines. The 4th is my front yard.
