Well… we have a couple new projects. The first, we adopted a 2-3 wk old orphanned kitten, which my kindergartner Alec named Torpedo! He’s so sweet, and I’ve never had such a small little thing. Having him is just like having a baby… I feed him with a bottle, I clean up after his messes, and I bathe him with a washcloth. I pretty much pretend I’m his momma kitty, sans the fur. I hope he grows healthy and eventually lives up to his name.
Another project I started was my Quaker Virtues! I began it last night (even though the Stitch A-Long =SAL) that I am participating in isn’t starting till June 1st. I thought I’d get a head start, as I’m sure I’m the slower stitcher our of all. The linen is lovely… it’s 28 ct. Barn Owl Overdyed. It’s beautiful. I’m sticking with the charted colors an so far love them.
Anyway… raining here today and a perfect day to sit inside and stitch till my hearts content and pray over all the things that are on my heart.
Got the results back from my abdominal CT… only thing appearant is a normal looking functional ovarian cyst measuring 3.6cmx4.4cm. Nothing spooking hiding inside it. I’m supposed to have a repeat ultrasound in the first week of July to moniter my cyst. I feel like I should give this cyst a name. Maybe she’s a Sally?
Anyway… school is out very soon, only two more weeks! I couldn’t be more thrilled!
Stitching news: I’m done on Alec’s stocking except for stitching his name and adding the button details, AND, I’m nearly done with Adair’s stocking, just finishing up the bottom, then need to stitch her name and add the buttons. I think I’ll go get the linen to begin my stocking and Mikes… they go pretty speedy. Also, on other stitching fronts, I have joined a SAL (Stitchalong) for the Quaker Virtues pattern and I think it’s beginning either June or July 1st. I have been wanting to start it so badly, but I’ve been really trying to finish stitching the kids stockings!
That’s all for now. Busy day… and my husband has vertigo and nausea, which induced vomiting yesterday. His world is spinning… hopefully it will stop soon. My poor sweetie.
Yesterday’s unblogged thought: I am so blessed to be a mom.
Today’s thought: Getting abdominal CT scan today. Nothing to worry about really, just getting a closer look at what looks to be a cyst. Unknowing is an interesting feeling, like walking around your life in the dark and trying to find your way by feel. It’s all familiar, yet it’s dark and you forget where things are.
I do notice I feel very insulated or protected. Kind of like I have to force myself to remember to even think about what’s happening. Weird. I think it’s very much God’s grace being poured over me. Soft and cozy inslulating grace that protects you like bubblewrap.
