Not hemorrhoids,
steroids!
 
After putting off a trip to the doctor
as long as possible
for this stupid cough,
last week
I finally broke down
and
went in.
 
I do not like the call, leave a message
and wait for someone to call you back process.
I do not like the drive to the doctor,
I do not like the waiting in the outer office,
I do not like the waiting in the inner office,
I do not like the weigh-in,
I do not like the blood pressure check,
(always elevated because of the preceding events)
 
Most of all,
I think that cure is going to kill me one of these times.
Antibiotics and Steroids,
and the
subsequent,
pie-eyed,
no sleep nights!
 
However,
on the bright side,
I do get a lot done.
Steroids must be like
buying time
or adding extra hours into your day,
or maybe
the drug
Speed.
 
Because while I don't function
at top performance
on
concentrating
while taking them,
I sure can craft on them!
 

 
Finished one afghan for Shelby's Linus Project
at school
and started another one!
Finished some vintage linen pillows.

 
And have a ton of stuff
 priced and inventoried
for the
Move In To My New Booth
Tuesday night!
 
For those of you that don't know,
I am taking the leap
and
trying a booth in an awesome shop
that
carries
antiques, vintage and repurposed items.
 
Stop over and like them on Facebook!
or better yet,
if you are in Western Pa,
stop in and visit them!
(and me)

Hope you get to feeling better! I've been flat in bed with the flu all this week. It's interesting that you can channel all of that extra steroid energy into something productive. I can't take them because all the extra energy comes out in the form of intolerable anxiety. lol. Congrats on having your own booth! I'll have to check the place out.

I share your feelings about doctor visits which is why I have to be really bad off to even call them. What's worse they usually end up telling me to just take some ibuprofen.
At least you were productive. Good luck on your booth

Feel well soon. Steroids seem to have that affect on many people. This ever-changing weather is making a lot of people sick. Best of luck with the shop.

Samuel’s School

-

In December, I had the opportunity to travel to West Bengal, India on a mission trip with my church. Six of us made the trip to care for the children of mission workers who would be attending a conference there.   The last full day that we were there we went to a school in a nearby village and met Samuel who runs the school there.  He is a converted Hindu and teaches Hindu children a Christian based curriculum in English.   His school has been very successful because of the high quality of education he is providing.   This allows him to present the gospel to children and their parents often.  The problem?  He has more students than classroom space.  And three swings for over 200 children!  Such well behaved children! Such even lines!  Some of the older children are having outside class! They are starting a classroom on the second floor.  Here is where my part of the story comes in.   Samuel’s school was my moment.  That moment ...

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4...
