a backwards written blog

and finally, here are the curtains I took down and washed. they look a lot better now. well, that is what I did the other day.  this morning I woke up at 6 am, so i got up, finished sewing the last side on the quilt, putting pictures on the memory quilt I am making, made a batch of cookies and took a walk for the first time since my surgery. and did all that by 9 am. then I came home and finished doing a few other things and bought the fabric for the back of both quilts. I got all the fabric for 2.22 a yard. I never find those sales, so when I do, i am sooo happy. it just feels good to find those sales.

other than that, things are good. I am still healing from the surgery. I called my friend that has already had the surgery, and asked her if what I was feeling was normal. she explained to me that even though thre are just three little cuts on my stomach, they did a lot. I feel like I have a broken rib, and didnt understand that. she told me they went in there and moved everything around, pinched, shoved and stired things up. I know this, but i forget when I hurt. sittin on the couch hurts, cus everything gets crunched up together when i sit down. yes, it will get better.

I also got three packeges packed up today and shipped out. I had been waiting to ship these thigns out, for some reason. OH yea, I didnt wantto drive last week. well, I finally got my mil's picture of alex sent out and some gifts we bought for the grand kids in texas. also the cookies for alex. well, i know this is the middle of the blog, but i started it on the last picture down. so i am ending it here. lol. but you can keep reading.

I think i am writing this from the bottom up. Im not so good at putting pictures in my blogs. I never really know whether to put the pic in first, then write around it, or write, then try and get the pic to be where i want it, which never works. anyway, here is the quilt I made for the vfw chili cook off raffle. I bought the fabric for the back today, and was able to get it on a really great sale. this looks like it was more work than it actually was. I hope they make some money on it. I used only fabric that I already have to make it.

 

the other day, I wrote that I got my nails done. Em wanted to see a pic of them. i tried to get a good shot of my new nails, and this is them. see, a natural pink and clear to coat. they are strong enough to not break every time i touch something. my own nails are so weak, they break real easy.
