Health Update. Saturday's Song. Slow Stitching + a Finish. Stash Report.

Health Update


via GIPHY
Can you tell that all my exams went well?
Mammo: "normal and benign"
Bone Density:  "normal" - even after spending 2015 and most of 2016 in bed/a wheelchair!
Colonoscopy: I'm on the 10 year plan!
Survivors' Guilt:  Thanks to the encouragement from my friends in my Cancer Care Group (most who are dealing with incurable cancer, metastasis, recurrences or new diagnosis) , my family and friends, I am living life to the fullest!  

I see my oncologist this month and have a full physical next month.  For some reason, the imaging center I went to gave me the reports and CDs early!  :)

Saturday's Song
This song lists the basics I try to utilize.  If you're going through a hard time, you may want to consider them.....


Here is the list:

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
- The Words I Would Say by Sidewalk Prophets


Please know, God's got you. You will come forth as gold.
Trust Him.  (Job 23:10)

Slow Stitching + a Finish
I've been doing quite a bit of slow stitching in the form of binding the Panel Baby Quilt! The recipient was so grateful that he almost made me cry!
I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of the finished quilt!  

Here it is with the borders:
I machine quilted the borders and hand quilted the bears.  


I'm hoping to make even more progress on Prayer Shawl #2.  It's already about 48" long!


By the way, I saw this pattern on Fiber Flux.  Her directions are fabulous!  It's really interesting to see how different it looks with a bulkier yarn!

And here I thought I was so original!  

I'm also hoping I can make some progress on this Oldie But Goodie - the Around the House Stitching Club mini by Wild Olive!

Slow Stitching and Saturday's Song.

Slow Stitching Weekend!
Here's my projects!
I was in the mood to make dishcloths!  
Here is one from scraps of some I gave away.  I used Lily N Cream white with purple tulle cut into 1" strips.  Yes, you're right, they do get a bit stinky after a day or so.  I simply use a new one every day!  :)  All the more reason to make more!  :)

I made four as gifts, but forgot to take pics of them!  











 A new baby means another new baby quilt!

This little panel deserves it some 
hand quilting......

 Too cute?  Right?

Of course, work continues on 

From humble beginnings

To this one from last week!



Saturday's Song
The next few weeks 
will be filled with medical tests 
in preparation for another 6 month 
oncology follow up - 
always a nervous time for 
cancer survivors.  
So, here's a pick me up song!  
Be Blessed!
