I DID IT! I DID IT! I REALLY REALLY DID IT!

Okay besides watching to much Dora the Explorer, I got out my Feather Weight.

First last night I decided to work on an UFO from 3 years ago. Pegi Treat taught a Tessellations quilt class at our guild in July or August of 2005. I got the first top made, recut the first 3 rows and sewed them together. In the box they went. So last night I decided since my sewing table doesn't have a machine on it I could trace the template out on the rest of the quilt and start cutting. Today I finished cutting out rows 4 through 8, my design wall was running out of room. I just finished sewing row 4 and have attached it to the first 3 rows!

What I have learn in this process is:
1. I need a 1/4" foot for my Feather Weight, I do have a lovely piece of leopard print tape marking my 1/4" right now.
2. I am spoiled with my Pfaff having needle up or down.
3. I am spoiled by having a needle threader on my Pfaff.
4. My Feather Weight doesn't weigh as much as my Pfaff.

Suffering A Loss

I am depressed today. I am suffering. I keep telling myself it isn't that bad. It is. I had to drop off my sewing machine to be serviced. It wont be ready until Monday at NOON!!! Do you know how long that is??? That will be 74 hours WITHOUT my machine.

Now some of you are saying don't you have more than one machine? YES But I use my Pfaff. I had my Feather Weight serviced last month but I haven't done anything with it since. I don't know I can make it another 68 hours without my machine. I guess this is a good excuse to try out the Feather Weight. I did load up the quilting machine from being serviced. I might actually quilt something and finish an UFO. I really want to use my Pfaff to put borders on my quilt from last Saturday.

Poop Post Surgery News

Delaney is supposed to be on a soft food diet for at least 3 days and then gradually add in hard food as tolerated. So today she has been refusing Jello and Pudding, not that I blame her. If I turn my back she is getting a chair to get in the cupboards. Today for lunch she got a pink ice cream cone and filled it with tortilla chips, she did have an ice cream cone with ice cream for breakfast. She wants food!

I is starting to complain that her throat hurts but it isn't keeping her down. I have been keeping her pain meds going but her is up and playing, running and jumping. She has a few marking from surgery, bruising high on each cheek and a few patches of pink sink where they had to use tape. All in all she is doing great!

We Are Home! *EDIT Photo Added*

Delaney had her surgery this morning. All went well. She does not like coming out of the Anaesthesia. She did try to rip out her own IV and didn't want to wear the ID bracelet. She did waited to puke on our couch instead of doing it at the hospital.

She is resting on the couch now, watching her shows. She will be on a clear liquid diet for a few days and then onto soft foods. We are to keep her calm for at least 4 days, yeah right!

I will have a picture of her in her gown later.

This is of her in Pre-OP. She picked out her own dress and played with Tammy while we waited

Sigh of Relief!

I forgot I had plans on Sunday. So here they are...

Thursday I stopped by my parent's house to pick up my squash, my dad was home. He asked me if I could get the horse shoes? I say sure, my parents were leaving that night for camping in Chester for the weekend. Now I am thinking aren't they in mom's trailer? Why is mom needing horse shoes for this weekend? Crap where am I going to look for them? Why can't he get them? Okay so my brain stops and realizes CRAP!!! he is really talking about getting the Horse Shoes. Not anything I can pick up at Macy's.

If you can remember back to last summer my dad got the kids a REAL eating and pooping HORSE. This horse belongs to all four girls. Nikki just spent last week at Cowgirl Camp, and loved it. Nat wants nothing to do with the horse. Ally is the one who found the horse at the yard sale. And Laney is going for 8 seconds, arm up and ready.

So after I get lengthy instructions on the horse shoeing process, I am still thinking CRAP! So Saturday night , 10:30pm, Josh calls. He needs me to pick up Nat from a party Sunday morning. No problem, I now will have help with the horse.

Sunday morning rolls around and I head out to get Nat. Nat promptly tells me NO when I tell her what WE get to do. Completely straight faced like I lost my mind. So I hit Starbucks and we go home to wait for the call.

It came 3pm-ish. WHEW! Horse shoe guy can't come today because he has to take another horse to the vet. He rescheduled for Thursday. CRAP I have Thursday off. Linda is supposed to go to Marine World. I hope Dad's not working.

Weekend Off

So I get the weekend off, Yeah Me! But we have no plans!?! How did that happen? It never works this way!

So last night I got to go to my friend Kymn's house and just hang out and talk. Her kids are good and go to bed early, unlike my Poop who went to bed at 11pm. Where does she get that from? This morning was spent trying to figure out something fun to do. We went to Safeway for groceries. Not really what I think of when I think fun but we needed food. Now Scott is at Home Depot buying "stuff" he "needs" to do something in the hall bath. I am getting the fun job of cleaning out the hall closet. I am mostly getting that job because I lost a birthday present.

I think I need a better plan for tomorrow or we are cleaning out the garage. At least that would accomplish a New Year's Goal. HUH, maybe that is the plan.

Birthday Wish List

So some of you have noticed that I added a birthday wish list. My birthday is about 6 weeks away. I decided to make a list for my birthday because my Christmas list work out WONDERFULLY!!! So mom check it and print a copy for Linda and Scott. Refer everyone else who asks to the list.
