"REMARKABLE"

My husband was all geared up on Thursday to go in for his chemoembolization, we packed a suite case and was all ready for a 3 day stay, but after 20 minutes the doctor came out and said he did not need chemo at all and that he is responding remarkable to the NEXAVAR meds, that is a chemo pill he take 4 a day. We stayed for 4 hours while he re cooped from the cath. thru his artery in the groin area and then we were on our way to home sweet home. YAY!!! we were so happy and i am so relieved that he is doing so well.

My mother is getting better everyday, soon we will have the family back to one piece, god is good and he answers prayers that's for sure.


I stitched up this pillow case yesterday and added a little crochet trim to it, i love the way it turned out. I have started a baby afghan getting ready for our new little one, we don't know if boy or girl yet so i just bought some nice baby sport yarn that was on sale, i love the colors, but i am hoping i can go back and get PINK.

I will be going to Virginia at the end of this month to spend a week with my daughter, she has to have a cerclage(cervix stitched) so I will be with her to help her and take care of my dear turtle, I can't wait to see him, he called me today and sang twinkle twinkle little star to me. He is so sweet!

We are finally having that perfect Florida weather and I was able to get out and relax a bit today, but first I baked chocolate chip cookies for my husband and no I did not cheat. I am on week 9 of the diet and i have lost a total of 12.5 inches total, and 4.5 off my belly, I am so pleased with the way it is going, and I have been following my healthy eating habits so far.

Hope you all had a great week and weekend!

for turtle

i finished turtle's blankie and his pillow case! this was all on a whim and if i new i was going to sew flannel on it i would've used different color yarn and pattern, but i think it still turned out great and soooo snuglie, he will love it.

something new

I am working on learning to quilt so i figured i needed to practice on the machine first and this is my completed apron, not perfect but i love it and it was so much fun to make, i can't wait to get started on trying to quilt. I am going to start our small and make a table runner thingy first to see if I can do it. Oh and yes i am still in the middle of finishing my kittie afghan, almost done, ran out of olive yarn but hope to get more tomorrow and get it finished soon... stay tooned.
