Wait - I Think I Saw Her...

If you thought you saw me flitting around since my son posted that I was in the hospital, you were right! Even though I haven't had the energy to update my blog, I have been trying to read your incredible blogs as I've had the chance. I deeply apologize for not posting an update sooner, I truly have just not had the energy. As you know, I was in the hospital. I'm not really up to posting the details, but it was due to an increase in my back/leg pain, which affected my Cushing's Disease, and brought on a major episode of depression. After my visit to the hospital, I became really popular with all my doctors - so visits with my specialists ensued. I admit to bringing a lot of this on myself; however, thanks to medication screw ups by Walgreen's, I was left without my pain meds...and unrelenting, excruciating pain will eventually make even the sanest person make stupid decisions. And we all know I wasn't the "sanest" person to begin with!

Anyway...with my medication back on track, and consultations with every doctor known to man complete, I am back. Before I move on though, I want to thank you guys for the warm wishes you sent. They were a bright light when I really needed it - and I realized just how blessed this Queen is. You hold a special place in my heart...and even though I can't repay your kindness, know that each of you is special to me - and I appreciate you.

I'm back now...and have things to share. I'm currently working on an art quilt - but the project is way out of control. Why does that happen to me? Even though I start projects like this with a sketch - but before I know it, the project is way bigger than originally planned...and I'm in over my head. Just see this other art quilt I was going to make for proof... Since this one will be a gift, I'm struggling forward with it. Not the easiest thing to do - especially when I don't have any sewing experience. At all. Everything I sew is done with a wing and prayer. The childebeasts have killed my computer. In my absence, they have taken to downloading things - things I don't understand. This is a problem when you're already dealing with a system you don't understand (like Linux). I had just gotten it where I could deal with it...and now it's all goofy. Which means it isn't recognizing my camera. I have photos to show you...but they are currently stuck on my little Canon. Rather than leaving you with nothing, I will show you a few things I got on the computer before the 'beasts caused it to croak. It feels good to be back. Enjoy!

I hope I didn't already post these - these are the torsos I did for a swap. It was so fun!

I did a total of 6 torsos for the swap. Did I mention how fun this was?
