In Wonder(land)

Here's some pics....

"Off with Her Head!!"


This Friday is Halloween and although I feel ahead of the game as far as the costumes and activities go, I still have a lot to do. My back has made me move just a bit slower, so sitting at a sewing machine has been an on again, off again process. However I did finish my costume this weekend and only have one and a half to go. I am the Ace of Spades and it came out really great. Now if I could just find a black turtle neck shirt I'd be all set. Why doesn't anyone have one? I've been to any number of stores, even the mens department!!! Ugh! Anyway, minor problem.
I have a million and one things that I want to finish up, like my room which has been on hold forever. The weekend I planned to finish is was the weekend the back spasms came on. It's just one wall too, which couldn't be more frustrating. Perhaps by Thanksgiving? Well, maybe I'll just take one holiday at a time, first things first!

Hi everyone! Sorry to not update in a while. September was an interesting month to say the least, but I think the worst is just about over. I started the month with another sinus infection and just as soon as I finished a ten day round of antibiotics, my back muscle decided it was going to start spasming. Seven prescriptions, 2 Primary care visits, and x-ray and Physical therapy later the diagnosis is Arthritis.
So anyway I can now walk again, and all those other good things you can do when your able to bend, so I have some super updating to catch up on. I decided since I couldn't do much else but sit for days at a time I would crochet a blanket out of all the stray balls of yarn I had left from other projects to donate or give away to someone who needed a blanket, and I'm happy to say it's almost done, mostly because I have only 7 small balls of yarn left to finish it, so I'll be sure and put a picture up of it soon.
For now it's off to start the process of catching everything up.
Special thanks to Karla who sent me this really cool necklace she made. It cheered me up more than she knows. I'll post that picture soon too.
More soon!!!
