Our church "adopted" a child from The Smoky Mountain Children's home. Tonight everyone is bringing in items. I am donating this mini quilt.

Today I went to the hospital and got my records from my testing yesterday. There is a 2.1 cm hyperechoic mass in the left lobe of the liver and a 5.2 cm mass in the right upper lobe. It is now recommending a MRI to correlate dx of hemangiomas. I wish they would've cut to the chase and just did an MRI. So now next visit is this Friday to my PCP. I do not like waiting!

Liver ultrasound w/ duplex done today. Waiting for results.
P.s. Kelly. I will let you know what happens. You know the family can spread news faster than the wind. I thought you already knew. Sorry. No need me getting worried, unless I am told so.
On the up side: I can't wait for the biggest loser to come on tv tonight and I plan to do some quilting!~! Uncle Danny is going to the homeless shelter. It is the last night of the season. I feel so sorry for those that don't have plans in place.
HUGS!~!~

Look at this cute little lamb I found at Hobby Lobby.

Jesse's First day at work. I couldn't resist driving up there and snaping a photo!

Running up to Speed

This past month has been both sad & happy. I was overwhelmed with working 2 full time jobs & making sure family was ok. I started having stomach pains and the next thing I knew, the Dr. took me off work! Went to see a surgeon cause the Dr. Dx me with a hernia. CT later showed: a small right hernia, a cyst on my left kidney and 2 masses the size of golf balls on/in my liver. So now I am scheduled for a US of the liver. I am sure the Lord has every thing in control and He is just giving me some time off work.

In the mean time. I got my quilting studio/room up and running.

I have finished 2 queen size quilts. One mini quilt for a childrens hospital in PA (downey corp)

Dan & I went to the U of M Hockey game this week. It was a first for me.

Then Mark & Marlene found us a hoosier cabinet at an estate sale! She got them down to only $300.00! I have been wanting one of these forever and a life time. It is in really great condition.

It fits perfect!

New Happenings

I got a new lap top for Valentines Day!~! It is mine...all mine. How do I know it will be all mine? Because I bought my husband a lap top for Valentines too!~! ROFL!~!
Now look out! I have so much to post, but first I have to work like a mad woman tomorrow on my swap blocks because I am over due. Shucks! I dislike when that happens! I need a quilty friend that lives really close so when I get in a bind like this, they can help me out and visa versa.
Dan & I are at a new church: Canton Church of God. More to come on that also. I am looking forward to serving, and doing all that we can do for the community.
HUGS!~!~

HaPpY ~NeW~ YeAr!~!

We are well on our way into the New Year. A lot has happened that has kept me from blogging.

The church is off and running. Mercy Ministries has so many things to do in 2010!

I have been exercising for 21 days now. Today I may have over done it. I worked out 1 hour and 30 min. on wii fit. Dan & I went to the health club we joined and worked out 1 hour and 30 min. there.

My legs feel like jello!

I have 200 calories left to eat for the day and I am not sure how I want to "spend" them.

The Daniel fast started Jan 3rd.

Today I went to Joanne's and spent $107.00 in fabric. Then I got a whopping 80% off! (They are going out of buisness.) so for a little over 20 dollars I walked out with a bag full of beautiful fabric that is screaming "don't put me on the shelf!"..........................................(more to come)

Happy new Year! I hope you had a wonderful Holiday!

Here is some pictures of our family Holiday:

Stocking swap

Each year I join in a stocking exchange. This is my sixth year. This year I have to admit was like any other year.................... I PEEKED! Before the grand opening. !~!Shoot!

There went my good intentions! So I guess Santa will be leaving me a lump of coal in my stocking?? BUT!! On the up side of things: I do have my wonderful stocking! Let me tell you about it!

The stocking is so adorable! I do not have anything like it! Wonderful colors of red, white and green.

Tucked inside was a bounty of quilting treasures! As you can see from the picture...she really out did herself! needles, book mark, fat quarters, and see tucked away in the right corner?? A breast cancer awareness pincushion WITH PINK pins! Now how cute is that??

Lotion, a tin with a tape measure!, not one but TWO Christmas ornaments! A quilting pattern and a beautifully made satchel to keep it all in! a take & go type of bag! I love it!

Then do you see the bag of skittles?? She had a label made that read "take as needed for stress" ROFL!!

Then what do my wondering eyes should see?? O my! A Mckenna Ryan pattern!!

YES!~! It is the first one I now have! Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you!~

What a great gift you have sent me! The box was cute too!

Now as usual after looking at all my bounty I look for the card......LOL

This year I got my quiltchat stocking from:

Misty!~!

MISTY, Thank-you very much. I love each and everything you sent me!

I am so thankful. You sent me things that I needed and wanted.

I think it has been two years now that I have been looking looking at Mckenna Ryan patterns, but couldn't really buy one. I hope your stocking was all that you want it to be. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
