I Can Do This

Yes is becoming my best word, I have never liked the word no. My health has been an ongoing issue for a long time as I have fallen three times in the last two weeks. The fall on Saturday afternoon in a parking lot was the final straw for my real wake up call.I managed to damage both my knee's (which have replacements in them ) and my chin is a mess along with my hands. Of course I am not very good at catching myself as I fall, so splat face first on the concrete.Yesterday as Ray and I made our way to the health center to make our purchase of a HYbrid Delux chair for me. It can be used as a walker or wheelchair.This wonderful new part of me only weighs 20 lbs and folds so nicely in the car for take along. I am resolved that I WILL use this when I go of my home for anything and if necessay to use in the house I will do it there too. Our house is not large and I can usually manage to hold on to something as I make my way around.Now that I have been able to talk about this I think I feel better, it was just I wasn't ready for this in my life,after all I was a runner, rollerderby gal when in in my youth(surprised aren't you?)and very active in all kinds of things. But I know God has a plan for me and I am sure He will guide me along this new path.Quilting ans things of that nature is formost in my mind. YOu blogging friends are the solid rock in my friendship and are the gretes dupport system ever.Thanks for taking the time to visit today. Ray and I both wish for you and yours a Blessed Christmas . Many Hugs, Marie

Thankful Season

Hello my friends. We are so thankful for you and yours ,you mean the world to us.I don't believe there is a day that goes by that I don't learn something great from one of you,Your an inspiration to us all.We were going to leave on Mon. or Tues. to go to Va. to visit my son and his family for Thanksgiving,but due to health issues my traveling time has been halted for a while.I fell on Friday and ended up back in Emg. Room. Really tired of these places but have been told this is going to start happening more often just get use to it--slam slam doesn't make me very happy. But then I have to be thankful I am breathing, seeing, hearing, have my beautiful family, A most fantastic loving wonderful hubby who takes great care of me. Now if I can get my chair not to throw me on the floor again maybe I will get more sewing done and get my creative juices going flowing. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers, your the best pals!!!!!!!!!!!!. Hugs and blessings, Marie

Lots of sewing and fun

This past week has been filled with lots of fun. I have been working on several of my works in progress. Over the weekend we had Faith overnight and she spoiled Ray and I by cooking dinner and breakfast for us. We went out on Sunday afternoon and bought two beautiful recliners that have a built in table between them for our living room. They will be delivered next Wednesday. I am sure they will be VERY comfortable for hand work and reading.Who knows I ight even learn to like TV again.Please go to Bejeweled Quilts by Barb and see the beautiful quilt you can own.Check out her nieces new online shop InchwormsFabric, a very neat site.YOu can enter the giveaways by checking out the sites. I just order some fabrics from her and the prices are great, thanks for sending me to her Barb!!!Well I am off to work on the signature quilt some more before my meeting tonight. Hugs, Marie

FUN

Hello all my friends,
I will be off to take Ray to the airport to fly to Ohio to visit his son.He will be gone for a few days so that means trouble I can get into and you know me----. I will eat when I want to , sleep when I want to , Play when I want to and of course sew , sew , sew. I can make messes and not have to worry about cleaning them right up ,YEAH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!Now does this sound like I am glad that he is going-well yes a part of me is ,when your both retired you never have that alone time to just veg out as the kids say.Maybe I can find that mo-jo that has been missing.I am finding that I spend to many hours on the computer and not sewing or completing tasks, so I will try to follow through on my time a little more wisely and still be enjoying life along the way. Have a beautiful day my blogging friends.Many hugs, Marie
P.S. Son-in-law has not downloaded the pics of Faith from her recital so I will post them whenever he gets them to me.

Fun Week-end

I have finished my blocks with my civil war fabrics and just need to square them up. I will post them then.This afternoon we are heading to see Faiath perform at her ice recital. She is doing a number from 102 Dalmations called Hot Diggity Dog. Her mom is the best costume maker. She will look so cute. I will post after pictures today.Have a great day and many blessings to all. Hugs, Marie

Still Working

Just wanted you to know that I am still in the sweat box working and loving it. Yesterday I did a Fall wall hanging, all I have to do is the hand work and then quilt it. I love Fall that is when Ray and I met in Ohio and the leaves were beautiful.I purchased this neat pattern from Brenda at The Pumpkin Patch Primitive Shoppe. She is having a fantastic giveaway so please drop by and see her and tell her I sent you, you will not be disapppointed.My quilt for the young man that was wounded is coming along very nicely and I will include some pics next time along with the signature quilt too. We are having the most delightful little cool spell, love it just wish it would last. Have a great week! Many hugs, Marie
