Did All I Can Do For Now... I think....

Well, I have survived my double mastectomy with reconstruction and my hysterectomy. I am finally beginning to think that things will be normal again. I am not spending all my time looking up everything possible about breast and ovarian cancer. Instead, I'm probably spending too much time on Facebook. I shouldn't have started playing Farmville; that led to the Cafe game which led to Yoville. I need to get away from those.

I am getting more excited about the baby and Catherine's wedding. We have scheduled to meet with the flower people and a photographer this week. I need to look for a dress (oh boy!). That should be interesting.

Theresa is still hanging in there. Her husband is still in Africa; he was supposed to be home on Saturday but someone was delayed in getting his updated visa and passport to him so he should be home Wed. or Thurs. She's pretty upset but okay. I can't wait until he gets home.

Theresa at her baby shower. It was a lot of fun but a lot of work.
I'm trying not to eat the left overs but there are pralines, cupcakes, little sandwiches, etc.

Lily Dug a New Hole!


Another hole in the yard - Maggie was in it this morning. I guess it has something to do with the cooler weather - the dirt must feel cooler to her. I've got to do something before the baby can walk - I don't want him stepping into a hole and breaking a leg!

Corsage for Baby Shower


I decided to try and make Theresa's corsage for her baby shower.
I made it with baby socks and some silk roses.
I just hope it stays together til the shower is over.

Afghan for the Baby


I've finished the first afghan for Thane, Jr. I'm sure I'll be making more.

Lizard
















A picture of a lizard taken outside of my kitchen window. I couldn't resist taking a picture of him. I wish he would have looked up for the first one.

The Practice Quilt


Okay, this is my first quilt and I hope nobody ever looks at it too closely. I am not a perfectionist and unfortunately, it shows. I really don't think that the baby will mind. We'll use it when we need to put him on the floor or sleeping on the couch or whatever.

I'll be making another one in a couple of weeks.
