    Chief Red Cloud 04-25-08

    Week 51 Getting very close to being finished with the feathers. YAY!! I only worked on the Chief for 3 nights this week as I am still working on the surprise stitching. I think I bit off more then I can chew with it. lol I thought it would be a quick stitch was I ever wrong. Hopefully soon I can get back to a more normal schedual on the Chief so I can get him finished. :)
    .
    Well tomorrow is the day I go to visit the Surgeon. I am so nervous and so excited. Keeping my fingers crossed and will let you know more when I get home.
    .
    It has been up in the 80's all week this past week, just beautiful out there and I have been outside everyday walking the girls one at a time, so actually I am getting two walks in daily. That is a very good thing too.
    .
    I did take some photo's of what is in bloom around my yard this week, just haven't taken the time to post them yet. I will get to it this week I promise.
    .
    Hope you all have a great week!

    Chief Red Cloud 04-18-08

    Week 50 I can not believe that I am so close in being finished with the Chief. Almost a year has gone by since I started working on him. I could have finished in 5 months like I did on the previous two Indians I stitched, all three are the same stitching size. I just took my time and didn't push myself on Chief Red Cloud, it's ok cause I have enjoyed myself. Read the previous post to find out where I have been.
    .
    I went and got weighed today, the first time since September and I have lost 52 pounds. YAY!!! I am calling the surgeon Monday and hopefully I can get an appointment soon with him. He wanted me to loose only 25 pounds to have surgery so I gave him 52 instead. YAY! I am so excited about that, and to think I am almost hernia free, pain free. I can't believe it.
    .
    I have been feeling so good lately that I have actually been walking both of the girls to the back of our lot. We have a fairly large backyard and the girls love to walk. Been taking one at a time cause they pull and want to go in their own directions, so by taking them one at a time I am actually walking it twice for me. It's ok as it gives me more exercise and strengthening my legs.
    .
    Guess who went into Hobby Lobby yesterday and walked all the way back to the cross stitch aisle. I was surprised that I could do that and it felt so good. I didn't have to stop and rest nor sit down back in the fabric area. YAY!!
    .
    I will try to take some photos of all the bloomings that are going on here. My lawn front and back has already been mowed once and is needing it again. Love this time of year.
    .
    Best go as I have a surprise to get kitted up, can't talk about it until it has been recieved which will be soon. Hope you have a great weekend and even a greater week ahead!

    Chief Red Cloud 04-11-08


    Weeks 46-49 and I am stitching again. YAY! You may have noticed by now that I haven't been posting anything lately, well I have been sick. My diabetes was running out of control, but am doing great with the meds I am on now. Also this hernia I have was causing severe pain, that would keep me bent doubled. The hernia has my intestines caught up in it so I have to have surgery to repair it. ugg Have been trying to hold off as long as possible but it looks like the time has come to get it fixed. But the main thing now is that I am back to stitching. YAY!!!

    In the above photo of Chief there isn't much done but it is a start back in the right direction. I took it slowly and didn't push myself, so there isn't much progress. Wait until you see next weeks.

    Also during this time period I celebrated my Mom's 70th Birthday. YAY!!!! I baked her a Lemon cake with Lemon Icing, it was a Duncan Hines mix from Walmart and not from scratch. I got all the ingredients out and started mixing away, I get to the part where it says add 3 eggs. I look around the counter, the drawers and no eggs. Where are the eggs?? I couldn't find them at all so I asked my Mom, nope she didn't take them. Then it hit me, I put the eggs in the bowl to get them out of my way while I did something else real quick and sure enough under the cake mix, the oil and the water there the 3 eggs where hiding. lol I couldn't believe I lost the eggs. The cake did turn out fine and in fact Mom ate some warm cake fresh out of the oven without the icing, that's her favorite way of eating cake. I don't really care for sweets so it didn't really matter to me.

    Thank you everyone for coming to my site while I was gone. I am back now and will keep on posting. YAY!!!
