Not sewing or knitting for a while!! Trying to get a handle on what is up with Miss Em's Spleen issue!! She is not sick or showing any signs of illness... But they are doing a MRI Tuesday with sedation to try and see exactly what is on it.... They are 99% sure it is nothing bad.... We tried a MRI without sedation a couple weeks ago... The doctor told me she would not need it... Well she got into the tube and flipped... I had her pulled out and we rescheduled.. But I heard they have an open MRI machine (no tube) that is just as good as the tube MRI but the doctor will not let us do it because he wants his radiologist looking at the films, etc. and frankly I am tired of arguing and waiting.. So we are doing it and making sure it gets done and done right this time!!
I did do some sewing on my flip flop quilt binding! And looked at my lizard ridge knitting!!
I am either going to bring the lizard ridge, BSJ or Deb Bliss Baby Shawl to the hospital while waiting for MRI to be done... it will be at least 3 hours there.. with EM in the tube for at least 45 minutes to an hour then 1/2 hour for recovery.....
Where have I been....
She is growing up!
I started to finish the flip flop quilt... Boy that is hard to do!! I need to sew up a Choo Choo Train Quilt for the 10th of August!! I know I am not going to finish the knitting but may finish the Chick hat in time!!
And...
Ok so pictures will finally upload!! (Tried and Tried on the 25th no luck!)
With my neck I have yet to sew the layers together.... Soon.... I hope
(this was going to be for my niece but then we had the person leaving and Em wanted to give her one soo bad!! and she LOVES Flip Flops!)
Then we have the Baby Shawl from Deb Bliss. For my nephew due in Sept.!! This I think is what aggravated my
already pulled neck... too much knitting!!
And Miss Emily! Tee-Ball Great! New Haircut and now Kindergarten Graduate!!
WOW! Time Flies!!
The next projects are:
A Sponge Bob Quilt for my niece (Though her birthday is July 1st not sure of that will happen!)
Finish 3 more chicks for the chick hat. I sewed one on and do not know if I really like it... But it will work. Work on baby shawl! Choo Choo Quilt and another Flip Flop Quilt!!
Mother's Day....
Kenmore 16321
So Far I love it!! I have my mom's old singer and my grandmother's Sears Kenmore but I really wanted something new and portable..... This fit the bill!
I had inherited my dad's mom's old Viking but the repair cost was almost 300 without a gurantee plud parts are no longer obtainable!
I am working on a little chick hat from itty bitty hats for my sisters baby due in Sept. (It's a boy!) Then to work on a hat for my SIL due in Oct! It's a girl!!
We have remodel!
YEAH!!!!
Still working on the top secret Harry Potter swap bag! And getting ready to iron the fabric for Em's Hannah Montana Quilt!
What kind of day is it?
A rainy cold and yucky day! The perfect day to knit! I casted on for....
I also went to visit my Nana yesterday! She is 91 and going strong! She lives alone, drives and knits! She has a TON of yarn that my Great Aunt gave her.... So, I saw some that caught my eye!
There are at least 4 skeins of each color... The top is a lilac it looks blue in the pic. The bright orange is to make a scarf or hat for hunting season... and the smaller white skien is some 3ply baby yarn.... I was thinking of a sweater for Miss Emily.... Not sure!
Secret Santa @ Work
So, they are finally doing the Secret Santa at work again! I took on the endeavor of making mine for part of the final gift a scarf! I am already 50% done! This picture is of when I first started on Sunday... last night I got a lot done!
I got a wonderful little box filled with Chocolate and lollipops! I must admit I ate most of them yesterday! I had a full day of teaching classes!
I can surf the web ....
Finally! Call me silly! But I broke down and got high speed Internet! I have been on dial-up for YEARS! and since I bought the new 20" iMac I needed it!!
With the snow prediction for tomorrow evening into Monday.. I did all of my shopping and errands today! Tomorrow is cook a turkey, knit and watch the rest of Season 2 Grey's... (So, I am behind!) But I just found out at ABC.com I can watch the recent Grey's for free! Yeah! I can get caught up!!!
It's Getting Closer....
What is Getting Closer?? A few things!
Emily starts Kindergarten Sept. 4th!
I start back to work Sept. 4th!
And my new niece will be arriving around Oct. 7th (ish)!
So! I need to get knitting!! But since I pulled my neck and shoulder out knitting has been painful if non-existent! But I will trudge on!! A lot to do!! I just need to try to sit down and focus! FOCUS!!! If that is at all possible!
Knit On!!
