NO WAY!! I love it just the way it is!! It seems to have a neat zig zag look too. That is so coolI've been wanting to make a rag quilt for YEARS!! One of these days!!
I think it looks great!Finished a raggie quilt for my MIL - hope she likes it - I was so worried when she told me the colors in her new living room were burghundy and light yellow - but thank goodnes Joann's had something to coordinate for me!
this was how it ragged after 1 washing - do you think I should wash it 1 more time before sending it to her?
Hi guys! We are back from our cruise and boy do I need a vacation from my kids. The cruise was really fun but not so relaxing for good-ol-mom!!! I have to say, we decided we like the parks a little bit more than the cruise. Its just a lot of money for 6 people (we have to get 2 rooms) and not enough run-around-room for the kids. Anyway, here are some of the pics I captured! Way too many and they aren't great but here we go:
older kids in MK, day before we left for the cruise
easy fit pants and DCL appique I made
Carla's vest & easy fit pants
round neck on DD10
I'm missing a few more customs but will post later!!!
Try to remember that all things have a purpose....even when we can't see them at the time. Good news is that they found it BEFORE her surgery and possibly saved her life My mom has thrombophlebitis (probably didn't spell that right). When I was born she spent 6 additional weeks in the hospital before she could come home. Her condition is very manageable now that she knows about it. Hopefully what Grace has will be easily managed as well.

I hope Peach likes this and perhaps you could put it on a shirt for her.
Oh yeah - you should have seen the year Billy and Beth (his sister who has Down Syndrome) argued the whole trip!!! I think thats why Billy works so well with people with special needs - he treats them with respect and just like anyone else (he treats people so well) - and they can detect that!!
We also did a day in Hollywood Studios with 10 year old triplets!!! 2 of them had Cerebral Palsy and were in wheelchairs. They had been my patients when they lived in DE, and then they moved to FL. Well, when they heard I was going to be at Disney, they wanted a day with Wendy and Bill in the park WITHOUT THEIR MOTHER!!!!It was one of the most fun days i have ever had in Disney. We were staying in a treehouse, and their mom dropped them off at about 7am!! We did the park, came back and went swimming, back to the parks until closing!! It was great to see the park through their eyes, not to mention the love I have for caring for kids!!! Gosh, I miss those guys!!!
Sending blessing to Grace. I hope all turns out well.
Blessings & prayers, MMM
Coteau chick - I will keep Grace in my prayers. I hope you find out soon.
I will let yall know how the surgery went. Please pray for Grace Wedensday that is when she is having surgery. I will post an update Thursday because she has to sleep in the hospital for 23 hours after surgery because of her age.
I can't thank yall enough for praying. I got good news this afternoon. Grace has an inhibitor. I probbably spelled that wrong. Anyway, that was the best possible outcome we were hoping for. The doctor cleared her for surgery and I have been running around like a crazy woman back to the hospital to get things set up for Wed. I was mad because the doctor ordered another PTT test today. It WILL come back too high because of the inhibitor. I think it will always be high. That means she takes long to clot but she isn't at risk for bleeding. I didn't let them draw the blood today. I am calling the doctor in the morning about that to see if it is necessary. If I have to I will take her back to draw blood tomorrow. The poor baby is only two and when we walked into the hospital she said , " I don't want blood work." She is very strong and it takes me and someone else to hold her down for someone to draw blood. Last winter she had such a bad bacterial infection in her throat that it dropped into her lungs and she was in the hospital for five days the week before Christmas. It was awful. She was so weak she could barely hold up her little head. She has had strep and tonsilitis at least 18 times in the two and a half years of life. The doctor said the tonsils have to come out ASAP. They are also huge she can barely breathe when she is sleeping. I am praying and believing that when we get this surgery behind us she will NOT be sick anymore. I don't want to go to the doctor at all next year except for well baby check ups. Thanks again for the support and prayers.
She is too cute!!!
Oh goodness!! That is rough! My DD had 2 surgeries before she was 2, and it was so hard seeing her sick. Thankfully she was better after the surgeries. I hope your daughter is the same way. Poor baby!
