Home from the hospital and have new frames and glasses on order, since the other pair broke twice since I first got them in January.











I was only in the hospital from Fri. until Mon., but feel it has been a week or more.. prescribed steoirds do things like that to me.  I don't know about illegal steroids, I hate what prescribed steroids do, nor do I have the wish nor means to smash myself up trying them.  I learned from experience early on, that though I need them to live, I don't need to live for them.. I live for my Lord and I, the family and friends.

Quilting was on the back burner for a couple of weeks or so it seems, so will be putting the machine and fabric going through it on and get busy, when home for the next 4 days.

The few days we will be able to be away, are a God Send, totally.  I feel so badly, that something different besides hospital stays are needed, for a break.  It has been a long time coming.

The ironing board's extended surface we made, got a bad spill on it, so it will have to be replaced, the cover, that is.  Until that is done, it is going to seem mighty odd, using a board only 14 inches wide.
My husband made this one that fits over the top using blocks to keep it in place, and it is 24" wide.  A nice size for ironing large pieces.

The quilting is calling and I'm not responding.  Must do more than ignore it..

Happy stitching.
