Happy Easter

Still recovering from my bad back. They had to give me injections in my trigger points to relieve the pain. That helped but my leg muscles are still cramped. Can't sit for long so I am still not crocheting.

Long Time.. Been Busy With My Health

Back in March I started having "female" problems again.. and had to go thru alot of tests.. come to find out that I had uterine cancer, which scared the heck out of me to be honest. As the first series of tests came out negative for that (back in September of last year) and now I had it..

I was trying very hard to get everything done and closed and out of the way before surgery - finish orders, close down my stores for "vacation", get my garden put in, get spring cleaning out of the way.. seems the more you rush the less you get done.. lol..

So in late May I was running around after seeing a Specialist taking all kinds of tests - CAT scans, blood work, etc and had surgery June 8th. It ended up that it hadnt spread and luckily I had a wonderful surgeon who got it out robotically.. so I am on the mend now.. Just an after surgery infection of my bladder, which with meds now is starting to feel better.. I am slowly but surely working to get all my stores back up.. and get orders out again.. and back writing my blog.. hope to have some new pictures up too..

Guess I was wrong..

I thought all my stuff was over.. but I guess not.. with all the last minute orders and holiday sale stuff going on.. I  just havent had a moment to breathe.. then I got a gallbladder attack that ended me up into the hospital.. just for a day.. but I guess my body is telling me to SLOW down.. so I am listening to it.. I will at least come one a week.. and try to get a couple days worth saved to send..

Also, during this crazy week.. my cat, Rachel died.. I suspected for a long time it was coming.. couldnt bring her in as she was feral.. and she hasnt been happy since my other cat, Blizzard died.. thought I would share a picture of her from the mid to lat 1990's..

Am on the mend...

Ended up with Bronchitis on top of the Shingles.. needless to say I put a halt to everything and focused on getting better.  Havent done much lately.. crocheting was hard as the Shingle pain was on my right side.. down my right arm.. and yep.. I am right handed.. working on a gift right now of slippers.. the same pair I was working on when I got sick.. finally got done with one slipper.  I will try to get some pictures tomorrow, if I have time.

Trying to get some items up for sale on Ebay and thru the Yahoo groups.. doing a little every day.. Guess that is all I can do.. Hope to stop back in tomorrow.. or at least on Friday.. see you then..

Sorry..

With all the things going on here.. and now I found out I have Shingles too.. I just dont have the energy for this.. I can barely keep up with my orders and mailings.. I will try to come at least once a week.. good news is I have sold some of my towels and a pair of my kids slippers.. right now trying to finish a pair of slippers that is suppose to be a gift.. sigh..

Am on the mend.. and a special sale at Etsy..

Can say that I am slowly on the mend.. in between being on the nebulizer and taking all those prednisolone.. I have been a bit in a fog and dizzy.. hopefully over the weekend I can totally recover.. am working on a mix of Christmas towels and orders for slippers.. hope to have some pics soon.. you can imagine how behind I am in everything.. trying to keep my head above water.. will be back on some kind of schedule over the weekend.. I hope.. smile..

Working on Christmas towels  now.. and soon will be starting orders for slippers and gifts for the holidays.. guess I wont get as much done sale wise this year.. need to slow down cos I got to get better.. I dont need pneumonia next.

 Here you can see some of my slippers, dishclothes and towels.

 Here are some more of the towels.. you can see how tightly I had to put everything.. 

but it worked..  

Still not well..

I thought I was on the mend.. but I guess I was wrong.. I suspect it is now bronchitis.. and yes, I am calling the Dr. tomorrow.. cant take a chance with me having asthma.. since my last note, most of my time has been either sleeping.. or trying to keep up with things here.. I did get my Fall and Thanksgiving towels up for sale on Etsy.. will put them here..

This one sold as I put it up.. cant complain.. smile.. I have some pictures of the show of my table.. will try to get it up tomorrow..
