Horse Feather's

Week 12 and page 1 is finished. YAY!!! YIPPEEEE!!!!! Page one is the largest page as it also includes some off page 2 and page 3, so I am actually a little over 1/4th completed. WHEW!!!! That's the hard part is finishing page one. I am almost all the way across the top. If you look at the left side then you can tell just about where I am on the right side. I so can't wait to get out the white. Yeah I am doing white on white again. Oh well, it won't last forever.

Got my new Q-Snaps Monday, the size 11x11 and have been using them and I love them. The 11x17 are just too large and I couldn't hold on to them. But these are just perfect and am wondering now what did I do without them before. Oh yeah I remember, but I am not going back to the hoops. :)

Three more days of being on the steroids DexPak 1.500mg. This medicine is a corticosteroid used to treat severe allergies, arthritis, asthma, and skin conditions. I have the severe allergy and skin problem. I look like I have the measles, hopefully this will take care of that and keep it off me. The side effects of the medicine is difficulty sleeping, nervousness, increased appetite, indigestion, nausea, swelling feet, hands, legs, mood, mental or personality changes, eye problems, headache, muscle aches, dizziness, trouble breathing and that's just to name a few. Guess which side affects I have had so far? All of them. :( Just checked and I have 5 more pills to take, WHEW!!!!!!!! So this hasn't been a good week for me.

Bad news yesterday, Thursday. Took my Mom over to her Pulmonary Doctor and he read the results of her Cat Scan. She has Severe Emphysema and some growths on one of the nodules. I have suspected this for a long long time and now we know. He is going to do another test a PET Scan and then in October do another Cat Scan to compare and if it's worse then he will go in and do a biopsy on the growth. He gave her a couple of prescriptions yesterday and a Nebulizer was delivered today.

Peajib and Izzy got there haircut Monday and the woman cut it too short. Izzy has never had hair this short and it don't look like her. Peajib's hair get's so tangled that it had to get buzzed off. Maybe I can keep up on it this time so she don't go around bald. Poor little Peajib has to wear a sweatshirt cause she is FREEZING! Izzy is hot blooded so it probably is cooling her down some. Peajib on the left and Izzy on the right. They were so good that they got a new toy out of the deal. A tiny toy hippo.

Week 10 update on Chief Red Cloud and color is starting to appear again. YAY!!!! I have one small band of red and then the rest will be white and light grey on white. YUCK! I can hardly contain the excitement I feel about that.

I tried the Q-snaps out last week and guess what, I love em but I got the wrong size as a 11x17 is just way to bulky to handle. So I ordered a set of 11x11 from Down Sunshine Lane. YAY!!! I love shopping there, Amy is just the nicest.

It's storming here again for the umpteenth time this week so I am shutting the system down. Hope all has a great weekend and a great stitching week.

Week 9 and Chief Red Cloud wasn't worked on much this week. I did manage to do a little on it but not the normal amount I had been. That's ok as sometimes working on a large project you just need to get away from it for a short break and that way you will appreciate it more when you return to it. I will start back on it tonight and guess who bought some Q-snaps yesterday. I am so anxious to give them a try that I already loaded the fabric in it. I bought the 11 x 17 q-snaps as Hobby Lobby only had the two sizes 11x17 and 17x17 didn't think I would need the larger ones but now wish they had the smaller ones. Speaking of Hobby Lobby I am so disappointed with them as they didn't have much Cross Stitching supplies like they use too and they even put part of the aisle in knitting supplies and crocheting supplies. I can't do them and don't know who does. I did get to see the DMC specialty floss but at a $1.99 a skein I had to pass on that unfortunately, but looking at it was exciting. YAY!!!!
