Busy Bee

I had my first sewing lesson last night and it was wonderful!!! Despite my grandma and my mom ditching me (They both actually were busy and will sign up with me next session. You guys are forgiven!) and the fact that I was in a class full of girls all under the age of 14, it went really well. I went out today and bought some cheap fabric to practice on and I made the things in the picture. The little pink bag is for Amber (I know I put the handles on wrong, but I improvised) the blue bag is for Michael, and I made the pillowcases for each of them. They are far from perfect, but I think it was a good first attempt.
I have also been making jewelry, bracelets and earrings. They are very cute. I don't know what I'm going to do with them considering I don't wear jewelry often, but maybe I will give them as gifts. Either way it's fun to do. I have to do something before I go back to work next week. Yuck...

Feeling Better

Surgery went well and I'm healing up nicely. A little tired, a little sore, but for the most part, much better. I haven't been up to doing anything crafty or cooking much so there's really nothing exciting to talk about. My sewing class starts next Wednesday so I'm very excited about that. Have a good one!

Yikes

Well I found out today that I am going to be having surgery on Thursday. I knew I had a large cyst on my ovary, but we weren't sure what they were going to do about it. Apparently cysts as big a a "newborn's head" are dealt with surgically. Leave it to a OB/GYN to compare it to a child... I thought it was funny. Surgery, not so funny. I've never had it so I'm a little freaked out and don't really know what to expect. I do realize it's this totally routine procedure, but still, it puts things into perspective. Wish me luck...

Ahhh, Vacation...

We went to Flagstaff last week for vacation. One word.... heavenly. It was so nice to be in 70 degree weather instead of 106 degree weather. Except for my being sick on Thursday (the day we came home) it was wonderful. Scott took us sightseeing (he lived there for 4 years while attending NAU), we went to the deer farm in Williams, hit all the popular parks (my kids live to swing), and got some good R & R. And we took some cute pictures, of course. I thought I would revive the old black and white I took of them a few years ago with a new one. I think it came out cute. My poor little guy Michael fell off of his bike and scraped his lip so he wasn't all smiles, not that I blame him. But he sucked it up and took some pictures for his old mom, he's such a trooper. Here are a few more pictures...
