Welcome, SeaFoobs!   Dawney was just asking about a prosthetic to wear with her swimsuit on the cruise...now we know:  She needs some sea-foobs!

p.s.  Let us know what your diagnosis was, and where you are at in treatment.

 Sorry to hear people going through so much.  Not like we don't have enough to worry about. I hope everything gets straightened out.  I have one more day and than appt time.  A little nervous not going to lie.  I know you all will be with me thanks for being there even not in person.  Have a good night

i'll be with you in spirit right by your side, lynniea...it's odd, I liked my husband at some of the appts and then no more...I wanted to be by myself....that is just met...and no need to worry about being nervous, a little or a lot, everyone's been there one way or another. Hell, sometimes I get nervous about which loaf of bread to buy!

Here is a sample of my "free motion" stitching. You just sit with fabric and wool under the needle and just swirl away!! Is is big enough? I won't know until I post....

Here is a close up of the head of the bird. I use crayons to colour bits to stand out.

Here is a leaf further into the wall hanging.

Here's another trick. Take a fabric that has a print on it that you like...and bead it over!!!!

 

Here's a close up. When it's all done, people think you're so creative! ehhehehehehe

Barbe - This is pretty cool.

Barbe, you are indeed very talented.  Just Beautiful!!!

elimar86861

Barbe, Wow!  I didn't know sewing machines could do that!  (Written by one who is challenged to get a seam straight.)  Wish I could see the entire bird-scape hanging.  Love the beadwork on the other too.  It all takes patience, doesn't it?  (I think I just discovered why I am lacking in the hobby dept.!)

barbe1958

I do NOT have patience!!! That's why I'm good at it. You have to do it FAST...

Barbe - hobbies that have to be done fast sound like my cup of tea! 5 minutes later, "There, I'm done!". Wouldn't that be funny....No, that probably defeats the purpose of having a relaxing, take-your-mind-off-things kinda hobby. Your artwork is beautiful, though, however quickly you do it! I'm in dire need of a hobby. I keep thinking about getting one of those Cricut machines and making scrapbooks, but that seems kind of expensive....anybody know if it is?

My thoughts are with NativeMainer, too. I hope everything works out.

Dawney - hope your test results are B9! So glad you are going on a cruise soon after! Where are you going and how long shall you be cruisin'?  

barbe1958

You can do a scrapbook without Cricut!!! Try it first to see if you even like it....

hns76-I'm a scrapbooker.  I have no Cricut.  Don't want one.

heartnsoul76

Eph - is it expensive even without the Cricut? Every time I've looked at all the cute papers and things they seem to add up fast. As far as the Cricut goes - one of my family's favorite lines is, "What good is it?"

Damn Barbe...you are talented. How cool is that?

Dawney--

Will be keeping you in my prayers for your Monday appointment...will add that petition to the "power of prayer" thread...

Go and enjoy your cruise girl...you deserve it!

peace and prayers,

Tori

DE COLORES! 

dawney

Thanks ladies.  I will take all the prayers I can get.

SeaFoobs - I need to find one of those.

hns - we are crusing to Cozumel, Mexico next week, for 5 days - can't wait!

Last night I dreamed I went in for a mammogram, and the doctor told me I had lumps all through my breast that he thought were cancer, and he had made me an appointment for a biopsy. I was walking down the hospital hall thinking, "I should have known I had it too easy the first time." Boy, was I glad to wake up from that dream!!

My mind has been on other things besides cancer lately...well, at least I thought it was. Apparently, my subconscious is still thinking about it.

By the way, if anyone wants to check out my cancer blog, started when I found out I had cancer the end of last September, here is the link. (I hope it's okay to post it. Feel free to ignore.)

Susan....yeah, bad dreams can be our subconscious saying " I am still here". Glad it was just a dream and that all is well!

dawney - Love Cozumel - we always go snorkeling there.  Have a cruise planned for mid - April.

What cruise line and where do you sail out of? 

dawney

jo - we are going on Carnival out of Mobile, Alabama.  We always cruise Carnival except when we went on our honeymoon to Alaska - we took Norwegian then and it was great!

Which cruise line are you taking?
