UPDATE ON FAMILY AND CRAFTING

THESE 7 LITTLE SETS WERE MAILED TO EGF. CANDY HAS ALREADY GOT THEM, I'M SO FAR BEHIND ON EVERYTHING.



I MADE THIS YESTERDAY WHILE WAITING FOR MY BROTHER-IN-LAW (JIM) TO GET OUT OF SURGERY, HE HAD A VALVE REPLACEMENT. HE CAME THROUGH IT JUST FINE. HE'S MARRIED TO TIM'S SISTER HELEN ( HER ANEURYSM BLEW NEARLY FIVE YEARS AGO.) PLEASE PRAY FOR BOTH OF THEM.


THIS IS A LITTLE WHITE SET FOR OHIO.



THREE WHITE BLANKETS AND ONE BLUE ONE.

AUNT JANELLE IS STILL DOING BETTER AND SENDS HER THANKS TO EVERYONE.

TIM'S COUSIN ELAINE AND HER HUSBAND TERRY ALSO NEED YOUR PRAYERS FOR HEALTH PROBLEMS. THEIR DAUGHTER IS HAVING TWINS (SHES 41) THE BABIES WEIGH 140Z EACH AS OF WED.PLEASE PRAY FOR THEM AS WELL.

IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A BLACK CLOUD HANGING AROUND OUR FAMILY. I'M FIGHTING TO KEEP IT FROM WEARING ME DOWN. I WILL FIND SOMETHING TO LAUGH ABOUT AFTER I GET THROUGH ALL THESE TEARS THIS MORNING.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

UPDATE ON AUNT JANELLE

I JUST GOT HOME FROM HUNTSVILLE WITH AUNT JANELLE. SHE MADE THE LONG RIDE RATHER WELL I THOUGHT. SHE'S DOING FINE JUST SORE, SHE HAS TO HOLD A PILLOW TO HER CHEST TO HELP WITH PAIN.
SHE SAID THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT.
I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU AS WELL. I KNOW WHEN I NEED HELP ALL I HAVE TO DO IS TURN TO ALL OF YOU. THANK YOU FOR PRAYING FOR TIM. WE STILL DON'T KNOW ANYTHING YET. OUR FAMILY DOCTOR SAID IT NEEDS FIXED NOW BUT THE CARDIOLOGIST SAYS NO. I TOLD THEM I WANT TO SEE THE SURGEON. NOW WE WAIT AGAIN.

AUNT JANELLE NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS

AUNT JANELLE HAD A BAD WRECK TODAY. SHE WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AND KNOCKED INTO A TRANSFER TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS OUT AND BY THE TIME I GOT HOME SHE WAS IN ICU IN HUNTSVILLE. I'M GOING TO SEE HER IN THE MORNING FOR THE 10:30 VISIT. FROM WHAT I KNOW SHE HAS 4 BROKE RIBS ON ONE SIDE AND 3 ON THE OTHER SIDE, A LUNG COLLAPSED AND FLUID IN HER STOMACH. SHE JUST TURNED 70 LAST MONTH.
SHE STAYS BUSY DOING SOMETHING ALL THE TIME. SHE MAKES TINY BRACELETS FOR EGF, CANCER HATS AND LAP QUILTS FOR THE NURSING HOME. SHE HAS A PUZZLE ON A TABLE THAT SHE WORKS ON AND SHE HAS PUZZLE BOOKS AND WORD SEARCH BOOKS, SHE BOWLS TWO DAYS A WEEK AND KEEPS UP WITH ALL OF US AS WELL AS HER OWN LITTLE FAMILY.
SHE HAD KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY EARLIER THIS YEAR BUT IT DIDN'T KEEP HER DOWN LONG. I HOPE HER KNEE IS ALRIGHT. I JUST PRAY SHE WILL RECOVER FAST.

MORE CRAFTING

I GOT THIS DOLL AT A YARD SALE FOR A 1.00. IT'S HEAD IS 4 1/2 X 10 INCHES WHICH IS THE SIZE OF A SMALL PREEMIE 1-3 POUNDS. NOW I KNOW IF THE HAT OR BONNET FITS.

I DIDN'T HAVE MATERIAL BIG ENOUGH TO MAKE A BLUE BONNET SO I MADE IT WHITE.

I DIDN'T PRESS THIS QUILT BEFORE I TOOK THE PICTURE. I'M NOT THAT GREAT AT MAKING QUILTS BUT I HAD LEFT OVER SCRAPS SO I MADE THESE.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET TO TIRED TO SEW, YOU KNOW ITS TIME TO STOP WHEN YOU MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE IN A ROW.

THIS IS WHY I WAS SO TIRED. I STILL NEED TO FINISH THE YELLOW ONES AND PUT RIBBON AND ELASTIC ON THE BONNETS.

I HAVE A FEW WHITE BLANKETS I NEED TO TAKE PICTURES OF. I'LL POST THEM LATER.

AS FOR TIM THE TEST WENT FINE NOW WE WAIT TO SEE THE SURGEON.

TIM NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS

HEY EVERYONE! MY COMPUTER WENT NUTS LAST WEEK AND IS IN THE SHOP SO I'M AT MY SISTER-IN-LAWS TODAY CHECKING IN REAL QUICK.
TIM WENT TO THE DR. YESTERDAY AND IT'S BACK TO HUNTSVILLE AGAIN IN THE MORNING FOR ANOTHER TEST, (TEE), HE'LL HAVE A CAMERA PUT DOWN HIS THROAT SO THEY CAN SEE HOW MUCH THE VALVE IN HIS HEART IS LEAKING. THE ANEURYSM IS NOT 4.5 IT'S 5.3. 5.5 MEANING SURGERY. I TOLD THE DR. I WANTED HIM TO GET SOMETHING DONE THAT WE DON'T WANT TO WAIT. SO AFTER THIS TEST WE GET TO SEE THE SURGEON. PLEASE PRAY FOR US. TIM IS REALLY WORRIED, BUT DON'T TELL HIM I TOLD YOU THAT. I'M HAVING FAITH AS ALWAYS.
BEEN BUSY WITH SEWING AND CROCHETING WILL POST PICTURES WHEN I GET MY COMPUTER BACK. I MISS EVERYONE SO MUCH.
TIM WANTS TO RIDE AROUND AND LOOK AT LEAVES TODAY SO OFF WE GO.

MORE GOWNS

8 GOWNS



13 BONNETS I STILL NEED ONE MORE BONNET.



1 BLANKET
THESE THINGS WILL GO TO EGF WHEN I GET ALL THE BLANKETS MADE.
I USED BERNAT BABY BOUCLE' FOR THIS BLANKET. I HATE CROCHETING WITH IT BUT IF YOU MAKE A GRANNY SQUARE IT'S NOT THAT BAD AND IT'S SO SOFT. I DIDN'T PUT A EDGE ON THIS BLANKET BECAUSE IT'S HARD FOR ME TO WORK WITH IT.

EGF DONATION

THESE SIX LITTLE GOWNS WILL GO TO OHIO WHEN I GET THE BONNETS AND BLANKETS MADE.I CUT OUT 14 GOWNS AND THIS IS WHAT I GOT MADE.
CANDY GOT A REQUEST FOR ALL WHITE SETS SO I'M HELPING WITH THESE.


THIS CROCHET SET WILL ALSO GO TO OHIO. I STILL NEED TO MAKE THE BONNET FOR IT AS WELL. THESE THINGS WILL BE GOING TO AMISH FAMILIES, SO WE WERE ASKED TO MAKE THEM ALL WHITE. I HOPE THE CROCHET SET WILL WORK, I KNOW THEY USE PLAIN THINGS SO I DIDN'T PUT THE LITTLE RIBBONS ON THE GOWN.

THIS IS ANOTHER SCRAPPY BLANKET. THAT JUST ABOUT USES UP ALL MY LEFT OVER BABY YARN.
