More on 6 Fat Men!

Another quick picture on 6 Fat Men! This is gonna be such a cute pattern! I can't wait to have it finished! We don't get enough snow down here, so I can look at this and think of snow! :)

It's late, so I'm gonna keep it short tonight!

Btw, my son Jacob got a job at Kroger, so now both of my boys are working for Kroger, just wish it was the same location. I'll be travelling taking him back and forth until he can save enough for his own car!

Hugs and lots of joy to you!

Sitting here resting my eyes! Well, sorta! :)

Well, I went to the eye doctor finally. I shouldn't have waited as long as I did. I have several things that are wrong! hahaha

1. Sjogren's Syndrome=Dry Eye, blocked tear ducts.

2.Retinal tear

3.Corneal scratches

4. Ocular inflammation

5. Cataracts (can you believe this! They are small, but I thought you were older when you got those! hahaha)

I will be on eye drops forever now for the Sjogren's Syndrome. I will take steroid eye drops for 8 weeks and then I will be re-evaluated to determine if I need some kind of tear duct plugs.

It's no wonder my eyes have been hurting me! My vanity in not wanting coke bottle glasses might have been my undoing. Oh well, I'll do fine, just might have thicker glasses. Boohoo! Be prepared Johnny, I'm ordering the thinnest lenses they make baby!

I'm hoping my eyes will feel better this evening so I can stitch. I have the font on size Largest to be able to see since my eyes are still dilated. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

I'm glad that my vision will hopefully start to get better in about 8 weeks, I will need a new prescription, but not until I finish the steroid drops.

Now on to exciting stitchy news! I have found the newest magazines that I must subscribe to.

Primitive Quilts and Projects and Mollie Makes(this one is a UK magazine)

Love them! I'm gonna take them with me this Tuesday night to my Hooty Girl stitch group!

I know Trish will love the Primitive Quilts one!

Well, my eyes are burning so I'll sign off for now!

Have a happy day y'all!

Update on 6 Fat Men!

Good goobbly moobbly! I am the slowest stitcher! It has been so hard to see, that I finally broke down and made an appointment with the eye doctor. I go Monday morning at 8:45! I will have to leave very early cause I gotta go to Sandy Springs Area! Yikes! Traffic is not gonna be great! :(

We are on a mini vacation from school for President's Day. We got Friday and we will get Monday off too. So I'm excited to sleep in! I'm ready for summer. lol

I'm waiting on my Mary Kay girl to get here! Jill keeps my face looking great as usual with their great products. I'm alittle concerned cause they are discontinuing the Classic line and they are trying out the Botanical line. We shall see. My skin is already so very temperamental as it is, so I'm hoping for good things and not skin problems. Crossing my fingers!

Gonna go for my walk as soon as Jill leaves. I'm about to go commando on my workout and diet. I've hit a horrible plateau and I'm frustrated. I've got 15 more pounds to lose. I am stuck at 172, and I wanna be 160. I'm gonna change up my diet and as much as I feel this is wrong, I need to eat more. Matt says I'm starving my body and it is holding on to dear life to the fat that I've got! lol. I do realize that I've come far since starting my decision to be a healthier person. When I look back at pictures of me at 245, it makes me sad that I let myself get that fat. But, not anymore!

Just gotta keep plugging along!

Y'all have a great day!!!

I'm gonna stitch and finish that block today!

It's slowly coming along! I am such a slow stitcher! Unlike Trisha from the Hooty Girls! She is a speed stitcher! Puts me to shame! lol I so need to get my eyes checked, I am having to use readers on top of my glasses and it's getting worse! My PsA meds make it so hard too, vision blurriness and changes stink.

This Saturday is our PINS group, and I'm looking forward to it. I've missed the last 2 meetings due to being sick and my momma being in the hospital, so I'm crossing my fingers that I make this one!

My Remicade seems to not be working like it used to, and I'm worried cause that medicine was such a life saver. I don't want to relapse, my feet hurt something fierce at night and my back is being a major punk. I need daily back rubs! Which I don't get. :( Oh well, I can get them, but I would have to pay for them! Massage Envy here I come! My co-worker Chantel gave me a gift card for an hour massage and I'm gonna use it after my Feb.1st IV treatment!

Hope to get some stitching done tonight!

Sending my love out to a very special friend tonight! Hope you feel better!

Hugs,

6 Fat Men!

Here we are! The beginning of LK's 6 Fat Men! I know I should have started this earlier, but that's ok, maybe I can have it completed by next Jan. I love her patterns and I know this one will be fun to stitch!

I want to thank Trisha from The Hooty's Girls! I love it! And yes, it's a tea cosy, but I'll use it as a hat! lol It fits me to a tee!

Gonna eat supper! Be back later!

Hugs,

Welcome 2012!

A new year has come, and I'm excited for new wonderful changes in my life! I have been made so happy lately that it makes my heart burst with gladness!

I have started on 6 Fat Men by Lizzie Kate! I got my linen from Abcedarius, Susan the shop owner was so nice to us. The Hooty Girls went shopping! Thanks to Liz for driving! It was awesome riding in her race car!

I'll post pictures soon on my LK start!

Love and hugs,

Countdown Y'all!

I can't believe Thanksgiving has come and gone already. I prepared Thanksgiving dinner and took it over to my Momma's house so she could enjoy all the yummy's of the season. I'm so glad that we were blessed to have my momma home from the hospital. Now it's time for Christmas!!!!
I'm working on a pillow that I got out of the GOSM ornament issue. It's very pretty and simple. I love the simple elegance of it. I'll post pictures tomorrow!

Hugs till tomorrow!

Crazy Week so far!

My Momma got sick and has been in ICU on life support! I'm so happy to say that she was able to sustain herself and is breathing on her own! I've been up at the hospital everyday, and I'm really exhausted! I'm gonna sleep soundly tonight! I've not stitched since Momma went in the hospital! But I'm gonna stitch tonight!

Wahoo!!!!

More tomorrow!

DaisyGirl Rocks!

Life changes!

I am back! So many have emailed and asked me whether or not I was gonna blog again and the answer is Yes! I haven't in so long and while I am still cross stitching, I just didn't blog about it! Certain things happened over the summer and I was hurt by a friend that I didn't see coming. But I've decided that I know who my real friends are and I'm blessed that I have the ones I do have.

Summer came and went way to quickly! School is back in progress and I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving break in 2 weeks! I know, Thanksgiving already!?!

My cross stitch group The Hooty Girls are still meeting! We just meet at the IHOP in Buford! We have a wonderful time eating wonderful food and then we stitch for 3 hours! We have a wonderful waitress Jenna and they have welcomed us with open arms! Thank you to IHOP!

I am proud to say that I have lost 73 pounds so far! I'd love to lose 10 more, but with the holidays coming and all the yummy goodness coming up, I'll be happy to stay the same till the new year! Exercise has become my personal outlet for me! I still love to eat, but I eat less now and most times I can't even finish my food. The not so happy side effects of weight loss are the excess skin and flab. :( If I win the lottery, I will have a tummy tuck and a thigh tuck! Plus new boobs! hahahaha

I am starting on Christmas ornaments this week for family and friends! So I hope to post pictures after Tuesday night stitch in!

Well, that's all for tonight! I'm gonna check out y'alls blogs, as I have been a naughty girl and haven't kept up with everyone!

Hugs,

Working on a Biscornu!

I've started a Barbara Anna Design with squirrels! It is so cute! Plus I got the Thanksgiving on to start next! There was a really cute Halloween Owl one that I bought too! I need to go get new print cartridges for the printer so the copies will be crisp and clear!

Had my stent removed today, I'm still experiencing some discomfort, but Dr. Cleveland informed me that it should lessen up in a couple of days! I am so ready to be over with all this kidney stone mess!

I guess I'm off for the night! I'll see y'all later!

Hugs,
