are you squeamish?

If you are, then please move on to reading the next blog on your list. I'll wait....


Ok,I warned you. If you are still here you are A. either not squeamish or B. very curious... I took the son to the surgeon today for what should have been his last post surgery visit...

hm...not so much.

His incision is infected. I am not sure...but I think it has something to do with swimming in the lake of the ozarks for three days and not showering.. I'm just sayin...

So as I sat there, she sliced it open, let it drain and packed it. And then she said I have to pack it every 24 hours until next Wednesday. Yes folks...I have to shove stuff that looks like wet grograin ribbon into a small hole in his ass. great.... i am so excited....

And now he is outside and the girlfriend is shaving his head... sheesh...

going...



going....



crap....



luckily he didn't like it, so now the top looks like the sides... much better.

I think I'm off to the sewing room.. as soon as I have some lunch..

Hey guys...want some grilled cheese?

You Can Quilt That Out....

make life a pile of wood....

he he...make life a pile of wood... more like make life painful with a pile of wood...

Here is the base of the shed BEFORE it hit me...

(disclaimer... that tall grass is the lot to the side of us.. we cut ours, they don't)



here is what it looks like now... growing some grass...



As punishment for dropping me off my feet, I made the hubby stand outside on the front porch and hold the latest finished quilt. (btw, he locked us out of the house!lol)

My sister asked me how much it would cost to make her a quilt for her house to use for the grandson.. She wanted this quilt, but bigger... so I gave her the link to the Fat Quarter Shop, she ordered Make Life by Sweetwater and had it shipped directly to my house. Cause they are nice like that...

I added some white and had my LAQ quilter do her magic and here it is....




and the back where I used some leftover charms...

We are hoping to find a night next week to go out to dinner so I can deliver this quilt.

on my design wall...

I got these done before this happened... I have 2 weeks and 2 days to get the rest of them done before the meeting...

Oh...and my birthday is coming soon, so you know what that could mean....

Nancy

ah shucks....

Thanks for all the well wishes... I am doing much better.... I have 4 bruises on my left foot and leg, one or two on my right foot and my wrist is still very sore. I slept last night with it propped up on a pillow... I haven't tried any sewing with the machine, but I was able to finish the binding on the commission quilt..

We took off at 6am this morning to take all the lumber to the county dump...which isn't in our county so it took 90 minutes to get there and 90 minutes back but once again I didn't have to help unload the truck... :-)

Then the hubby took another run to our daughters where he dropped off the shed in pieces. It is a rubbermaid shed so the sil said he wanted to put it up at their house. Tomorrow I will get out early and rake the bald spot in the yard, lay some dirt and grass seed. Of course I can't pick up the dirt so the hubby will have to do that... :-) I think the neighbors will be happy the shed is gone. We were unaware when we put it up that it is against the association to have a shed and before we were told to take it down, the builder went bankrupt and the neighborhood association was kaput... Of course there is also nothing we can do about the trampoline, swimming pool, hot tub and various crap in the yard behind us either...so there is good and bad...

He really feels bad although I don't think a new sewing machine or a tropical vacation is in the works... dang it..

I'll try to get the hubby to hold the quilt up tomorrow and get some pictures... surely he can be persuaded to do that much...

Nancy

like Kim....or "I said STOP!!!"

Together, Kim and I could type... seems she had some surgery on her right hand and my husband just killed my left.

But, I digress...

Our shed was blown down in a straight line wind last weekend. After lunch he asked if I would help him pull up the foundation which is made of wood.. Sure! Why not?

He hooked the chain up to the truck and as I was standing there trying to run to get out of the way he jerked the chain with the truck and the board came loose and knocked me clear off my feet. I had yelled "STOP", but he thought one more jerk would take care of it. It surely did...

Then of course he helped me up and halfway across the yard I fainted... {sigh} I knew it was going to happen, but of course I was down before I could say anything..

Now my left shoulder, arm and wrist are very sore and I have a gouge out of my left ankle that is now bandaged, but hey....

Let's all look on the bright side...

I didn't have to help finish loading the truck!! LOL
