My grand daughters last year

my banner embroidery work. I had yet to sew the strand down and next  buttons if I choose to. I love the looks of it.

Heart surgery

Hello been a long couple of weeks I went to the hospital on October 19 they did a triple bypass. .I was in ICU for 4days then moved to a new floor where I spent another 5 days. I was release from Akron General on the 28th of October.

 I am slowly  dropping meds.  I hope soon to be on just a couple .They have dropped 5  already.

I have no real pain to speak of some swelling my leg  from the vein they used to make the bypass with. I am slowly losing the black and blue or bruises. My incision looks great  so they tell me. .There was talk of repairing the aorta but after seeing  it decided it was not all that bad so if it ain't broke do fix it. I am so thankful to be home and on the mend. I am able to go up stairs and down but it is very slow for me at this time. My sewing is in my basement so I was able to go down and see the mess I had left. But I brought some hand work up when I came back to main floor. Some embroidery I had started a couple years ago a cute Lesley Boost pattern  A Christmas banner . I got it finished . I hope to hang it in front of the fireplace. such a cute project. I plan to find my  cover buttons and make 6 covered buttons to sew in between the squares. But I might also use snowflakes buttons instead.

I will get the picture upload and posted soon. In the mean while I am happy to be alive and home once again!!

A Tada for me

Well we have had two of our grand daughters here since June 23 and they are heading home  August 28 will sure miss them. They have a been fun and challenging at times. I have made their coats and they will  be taking them home with  them. Below is a couple photos of the Arsema's and the little video is of Sarah's.  I need to get her zipper in and hand stitch the neck binding down.

Happy Dance

So Happy  yesterday I finally got the 4 panels sewn to make a coat for my Grand daughter Arsema.
She likes purple and is turning 7 this month.  I have sewn somethings twice and had to remove and flip it around so I feel like i have sewn the panels 2 times LOL  I was trying to keep the same fabric away from its self.,hard to do some times But I am delighted with the colors and  will now get to do the quilting on hers. I have a second set to sew for the sister Sarah. She will be 6 in November.
They will be coming here  to spend the summer with their daddy and I. I will send the coats home with them at that time. I think they will be here from end of June to late august. 
I guess I will get the other 3 pink ones sewn  soon.
Tata for now

Afternoon All,

 Today is kitchen day. I have cleaned the fridge side of  the refrigerator and now to the freezer side . It is amazing what a person can find in there.

 It needs it, so raining and turning cold now . Why not do it now so when the sun does come for a visit I will be able to go outdoors and enjoy it! On Monday I did the carpet in the kitchen, because hubby spilled a whole bottle of root beer on the floor so why not .

 I have been sewing on coat panels for my grand daughters as well. Plus got my guild sewing finished for the next meeting.  I feel like I am doing  good.

 No pictures today  maybe tomorrow I will post a few, in the mean time have to get to  the freezer and clean it out .
Tata for now .

Good morning
 been in an all weather type for 24 hours. crazy!!  I was sickly for 3 days  this week and am still a bit under the weather.,Nausea and headache mostly and a bit of  erupt now and then. I am now on prednisone for the next 5 days yet. Yay for that it does help So not much sewing going on for me at this time or anything else for that matter .I will feel better soon .
 So i hope you all have faired well with the latest snow spring weather. The cold is bad we had winds pretty good most of the night. 
 Hubby is outside  using the snow thrower to clear the driveway and sidewalk.
I will be back later to  let you know if I get to do any sewing or messing up

A New year 2018 day 2

Well It is cold every where in the states! The big Chill is on. I am doing what everyone seems to be doing  organizing and putting Christmas away. most of that part is done. I want to straighten up my sewing  room . Seems that is the thing to do each January. .LOL I have several things I want to finish this year  and lots planned to do as well. anyway I am going to try to thin things out again maybe this is the year it will get completed! The year of the rooster so I might get to do the big CROW  over the  thinning out stuff. Wish me luck!

So I do not make resolutions never have.  I have printed out a  UFO  planner to list 12 things to work on . One new one each month. I am so fickle when it comes to my sewing  but then I can stay with things I absolutely want  to use. so like most  quilters I do think. 

I am working on a couple kids spring coats for my grand daughters . I am using Gail Abeloe Heart Warming jacket for kids to make them. One is going to be rich Purples  and the other will be a bright pink raspberry. . I sew some things for them easy of course..

 Well worked yesterday on decorations and storing them back in their place ,today is go through some other boxes and reward myself with a little sewing tonight.

stay warm all 

Patty
