I went to physical therapy today for leg and back. Thankful it's nothing major. Praying you get better soon. Your cross stitch work is lovely. Piper is so cute. Can't wait to see my grandchildren soon. Hugs and blessings my sweet friend!

Of course you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, you have had a long haul with all of this. Piper is so adorable. We got Little Buddy's school picture back and it was horrible, he was leaning sideways with his right hand up to balance and a grimace on his face. In this day with digital photography that should not happen. Retakes are next week. I wish your friends could come and visit you. I know you were so disappointed about canceling your trip, I know they were sad too.<br /><br />Hang in there Betsy, things will get better.<br />MeredithMereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-78780210699139988352016-10-27T14:12:26.451-05:002016-10-27T14:12:26.451-05:00Lovely mittens and cute picture of Piper.

I don't get tests just because the doctor recommends them. If I am sick that is one thing but I no longer have pap smears or mammograms. I did have a bone scan a few months back and years ago they told me I had severe osteoporosis....funny thing...the bone scan said I was borderline....hmmmm....he wants me to take some medicine but not so sure I will. I am in remission on RA so I don't need to see him now unless I have a flare up. All meds have side affects so we shall see. Good luck with all your tests.Sam I Am......https://www.blogger.com/profile/17358633233189452832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-7167859061236359822016-10-27T11:59:53.038-05:002016-10-27T11:59:53.038-05:00The mittens are so cute.

I pray it's not an infection in your arm, something simple and easily remediable then, please dear sweet Lord and also I pray the mammogram is clear. God comfort your heart as only He can. <br />Love your magnificent crossstich with that very beautiful and yes Christmas is all year round, it certainly isn't on 25th Dec. in the middle of winter as shepherds don't keep sheep on hillside in winter. Wonderful laughing little Piper how precious she is.<br />Sending loving hugs from downunder dear Betsy,<br />Shaz in Oz.x <br />PS paper piecing is when you stamp a number of images, in this case different patterned papers and cut them out in small sections and add them to a plain stamped image to fill it in, so yes a lot of fiddly cutting and pasting of small stamped shapes.

I'm glad you got to go deliver the mittens.. you are such a giving, generous and talented woman! I might try to make some hats for your kids. But I doubt I could ever do as many as you do! Good luck with your tests.. I hope you get to feel 100% and soon.

I wonder if we will have a rainy season this year. Weather has been pretty good for a while and is getting cooler with each passing day. Not much dust so that's a good thing. Granted, still have dust inside the house all the time. I can't and don't want to stay on top of it. A spotless house is not a priority for me. I love that you made so many mittens, already delivered for this season, and have started on next. Very organized indeed. That Piper is just so darn cute. I sure hope you get past all these health issues so that you can carry on with normal life. Thank goodness for crafting to keep you occupied.

All one really n eds to sew is a straight stitch, a back stitch and a zig zag stitch. <br /><br />Congratulations on finishing and donating mittens early this year. I know they will be appreciated.

Thank you again for cross stitching along with me sweet friend. Oh little Miss Piper is so adorable. She is grow up so fast. I pray you get to see your girls soon. I will keep you in my prayers for all your visits and test, too. Love that color of purple you are using for your next mittens.

I am struggling with mine and it is making me sad because when I started it two years ago I could see and these days I can't. <br />I love your Kenmore. Mom had a Kenmore and I still use only the most basic Singer machine. I don't want a computerized one or one that does fancy stuff. Just sew in a straight line and from time to time zig zag for me and I'm happy.Araigneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543030200956480168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-91911660855648505732016-10-26T18:12:45.701-05:002016-10-26T18:12:45.701-05:00While it is amazing that our innards can be scanne...While it is amazing that our innards can be scanned and scoped and even rearranged to help us feel better, I can certainly imagine why you are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, Betsy! I'm praying your tests go well and that you rapidly feel well! Some little hands will be nicely warmed by those pretty purple mittens. We still have some colorful leaves left on some of the trees in the area, but the number of leafless trees is increasing. Miss Piper looks radiant!
