Ok so my feet aren't so OK......

Last weekend turned out to be a horrible one due to excruciating pain in my right outside thigh. I ended up going to the ER Saturday evening and they had no idea what happened to me as did I, so they gave me an injection of Morphine and a prescription for pain. The morphine injection was like water....it did NOTHING! I questioned wheather I received "real" morphine or not. I stayed in pain the entire weekend and went to my GP on Monday morning and received another injection. This was a new drug that I also received the prescription for to take by mouth. This stuff was a miracle drug! As of today, it feels like nothing happened. It is strange that I had visited the Podiatrist the previous Monday and received a cortisone injection in my heel, a taping of the heel and instructions to go to a local athletic shoe store and buy a particluar pair of running shoes. I was supposed to wear these shoes almost 24/7, only when time to go to bed was I to take them off and then I had to wear this boot thing to sleep in. I followed all of these instructions and then I ended up in the ER. He says it had nothing to do with my pain....hummm. Not so sure buddy!

Anyway as of today I feel great. I just have to wear these shoes ALL the time. It is hard to look nice with running shoes on, I feel like such a slob!

I have to get up early tomorrow morning for my Sorority garage sale and then I'm free to sew the rest of the weekend. I received my newest toy yesterday, a Janome Coverpro 900. I bought several knits and really wanted to finish them professionally so I found this neat little machine (it isn't all that little) that does the coverstitch hem for a great price of $249.00.


I working on my wall hanging now and hope to finish it this weekend.

Finally made it ....


Well I finally made it to visit my 2 year old Grandson this past weekend, a little late for his birthday party, but I made it there all the same (Gustav can't stop me forever).
He is so much fun!!!! Here he is in his birthday party outfit (that he didn't get to wear!). I was very hard to get him to stay still long enough to get a picture that wasn't blurry or of just the back of his head....he never stops!!!

For his birthday I bought him his "big boy bed". It is a cute cherry finish toddler bed. The crib mattress fits in there and he just looks so cute in there. He is doing great sleeping in there, no problems keeping him in it. Good thing I made it there to get his bed because when we were loading it into the truck to throw in the trash, all the spindles fell out. It was 30 years old and kept in the hot attic for 25 years, so I guess it served its purpose. His mother used it as well as his Uncle Bubba and now it has been put into the trash!
While I was visiting my DD and I visited several fabric stores and I purchased quite a few pieces and notions. I added a few more paisley fabricsto the stash for the quilt (that will end up costing me $1000 bucks before I finish). I also found this unique black silk fabric with fussy dragonflies that I will make a couple of pillows with. I have no idea who will get them, but I couldn't resist the fabric. I'll post pics soon.
Hopefully, I will get some sewing done this weekend. My feet are on the mend so I hope to rest some this weekend.
