Winter Coasters....

Here are the coasters I made for the Winter Swap at my Plastic Canvas group on Yahoo.
I had a really good nights sleep and didn't get up til 11:30 am. I also had no problems last night. Still going to make all the appts with the doctors even though I feel better, because I really want to know why it happened.
Hubby is making me a wonderful dinner of Chuck roast and potato's and carrots, I will make some rice later to go with it.
My arms are all brusied up but they don't hurt to much.
Going to get sewing on something and back to my Wooly Buddies retreat.

Not doing well.....

Wednesday night I was in bed when I went to roll over I felt lighted headed and like I was going to pass out, so I stayed still, then 5 mintues later it happened again, so I woke my Hubby and and he got me some juice and we took my BP it was 138/92 my normal BP on meds is 112/81, we finally got it to go down to normal and I got some sleep but it was really scary and I don't want it to happened again. So I have to call my doctor today and she makde an appt. for me for first thing in the morning. told Her I have numbness in my fingers and toes so she is not happy about that.
So today Well, I just got home an hour ago from the hospital. It happened again last night. I went to my doctor appt this morning and it happened there my BP went up to 151/102 so she sent me to the hospital for a cat scan of brain and blood work, got that done no problems was on my way home in the car when I felt sick to my stomach and started having pain in my chest. Told Hubby to turn around and go back to the hospital to the ER. we got stuck behind a funeral and the police cars wouldn't let us pass or even listen to Hubby when he tried to tell them we were going to the ER (Going to call and report that later) well we finally got to the ER and they put me in a room and did all kinds of tests, chest x-rays, heart monitor, etc. everything came back fine. They said I may have a blood clot somewhere maybe in lungs so they want me to see my doctor for more tests next week and see a heart specialist too. Oh and they where going to do a cat scan for blood clot in lungs but they couldn't get an iv in that wouldn't blow out my veins have 6 holes in me and many bruises right now. they also gave me nitro pill that helped take the pain from my chest. So now I’m home taking it easy and hoping nothing else will happen, still have numbness & headache so it's just a wait and see.

Angel Connection BOM


I finished my first Stitchery Block. I think it turned out well. But I did realize I have to use an different pen to mark my cloth as this one stayed on the cloth, but I went searching and found my other pen. I tested it on the cloth I'm using for my SnowBound Block and it all came out so I used my new lightbox and traced out the block and tomorrow I will stitch it.

Friday Night's Quilt-In

We has a really good time last night at Sandi's Seasons BOM Group on Yahoo. I stayed up til 3:30 in the morning working on this stuff. The picture above is my February Mini Quilt. So I have that are ready done, it's a Challenge in the group to make one for each month.
This Stain Glass Top is a UFO Guild project and we are having a contest this year at guild to see how many UFO's we can get done. Now I just have to back and Quilt it. Hope to get it done before February's Guild meeting.
This Block is the new one for my Guil's BOM, I did the other one but they changed the size of the block so I had to make a new one. So that's done for the meeting.
I also worked on my Angel Block, it's Sandi's BOM for this year, I'm almost finished with it and will post a picture later. Plus I have to find something for my Design Wall Monday.
Well back to stitching.

Burrr it's cold

This was this morning- it was raining ice, and it was really really cold. See all the ice on our swing?
Now Hubby says this was ice too but I thought it looks like snow but he went out there and I stayed in the house so I can't argue with him about it.

So today i've been bundled up see here are my slippers and they are really warm.
Plus I have my quilt on my leggs while I sit at my computer. I've been working on some Plastic Canvas today I'm in a winter Coaster swap and i'm on my third one but I had to go shopping to get more circles and I'm not going out so I went to Annie's Attic for them, they will come stright to my door and no cold for me except to walk to the mailbox lol. I also go some new Croschet hooks that were on sale. As it's getting cold enough to start crochetting in the evenings while I watch tv, plus it helps me stay warm.
Here is a sneek peek of my coasters I'm making. Plus I have to make a Winter magnet, got the pattern picked out and a Valentine's one. Plus, I'm going to be xstitching a Valentine's bookmark for a swap just have to wait to see who I get as the name is supposed top be on it.
I heard from Brant yesterday he made it to North Carolina okay but said it was really cold.
Hope everyone stays warm this weekend.

Look what we woke up to...





lots of ice and everything frozen, but man this is Florida so what gives? I know I said I want it to snow but I didn't realize it would have to be this cold to do it. They say our changes are good for Thursday night because it's supposed to get colder and rain to. Keeping fingers crossed.
