A day shopping

Yesterday was my post-op check-up and since we were already halfway there we decided to go on into town and do some shopping. D needed some new pants for work...he starts tomorrow! I also wanted to check out a few shops I had looked up in the phonebook. I have had such a hard time finding supplies since I moved here and half the reason is because I havent explored enough I think.It was a perfect sunny...

FINISHED!

Yay! I'm done, I finally finished my celestial paisley piece.Barring a few kinks in the binding process I think it turned out pretty good ...

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

It's a gorgeous day outside. The sun is shining and the sky is blue with little cotton candy clouds floating about. Who couldn't be in a good mood with weather like this?Last night I gave into temptation and printed out the little sun box that I featured from The Toymaker the other day. D had been wanting a box to put his pennies in and I thought this would be prettier on his desk then a plain box....

Awakening

So slowly I am falling back in place. Getting up and down is easier. Insomnia is still a guest here, becoming quite common in fact. The days are longer now though and the sun is coming back into our lives. I hope it will bring much health and long nights of sleep with it.Last night my honey and I had our first little romantic meal at our new table. It is nice to take time out to just enjoy each others...

On recovery and peaceful slumber...

Hello everyone! I am home again and working on getting back on my feet. I'm actually doing pretty good except when I stand up, then the bottom drops out *hehe* So I plan on taking it easy for a few days, its nice to be lazy and get the doctors to back you up! ;)I haven't felt like doing to much the last few days but I did this sketch for an idea I have. D thinks he looks very angry in his sleep, that's...

And you can download them yourself and print them out!The designs are quite whimsical and often accompanied by creative little stories or poems.If You See A Faery Ring ~ William Shakespeare If you see a faery ringIn a field...

Coming down the last stretch...

So I am grumpy. Really grumpy. Today is day three of my pre-op diet. Tomorrow is hospital. The bright side of it all though is after tomorrow I AM DONE. *crosses fingers* I am not letting another person get near me with a needle or any other sharp object for a lo-o-o-ong time *hehe*I have been keeping busy though to keep my mind off things. Remember how I said I was going to re-dye my t-shirt rug...

A trip around blogland

Kelly over at Colorfuldayz tagged me with this award. Thank you Kelly, I am very honored! You should all head over and check out her wonderful artwork. I am constantly amazed at the scope of color and pattern involved in her designs. She is truly a talented artist!Now I myself am a little unsure who to tag. Instead I am going to list a few of my other favorite blogs and I encourage you all to go...

A-shopping we will go

Today D's mother came to pick up our dining room table. It was on loan from a friend and they needed it back. We were off to buy a new one. The one we were using was too big anyway. We do live in a small apartment and it seated 6 without the leaves in it. Since we live on a budget we first went to this second hand store and I couldnt believe the prices they were asking for their old furniture. A plain...

Chasing the cobwebs away!

I have been lost in spring cleaning land. Here is my work area clean and sparkling again. I am so happy to be able to find everything!After my work space I went on to bigger things. I am still not done but the house is starting to sparkle. Time to chase all the cobwebs away. In doing all this my mind has been turning more and more to our imminent move. I am amazed at how much stuff I have accumulated...

Fiber heaven

I don't know about the rest of you creative types out there, but me? I love me some art supplies. I'm talking pure unadulterated coveting. I can sit for hours and drool over space dyed rayons or rainbow silk merino tops. If I were a rich woman, I would have no room in my house. It would be wall to wall art materials. I have a serious case, let me tell you! Last night I stumbled on another site that...

Is it really time for spring cleaning already?

So yesterday, an hour before I had to leave for my cardiologist appointment, I started messing around in my work area. Before you could blink I had managed to pull EVERYTHING off the shelves. What a mess! I just couldn't take another minute of that unorganized jumble and it had to go! Unfortunately I didn't have time to clean my mess up. Silly me. So last night although I was tired I did work for...

Spring is in the air!

Yesterday as I walked home from the doctor.... I soaked in the sun and the signs of spring.Everywhere I looked flowers were blooming.Even the lawns are covered with flowers.It's so nice to see the sun peeking at me. I feel like it's breathing new life into me also!I'm off to the cardiologist this afternoon. As you can see, with all this running around I didn't make much progress yesterday on my paisleys....
