Once Around The Yard & Baby Girl's Room

Well ..... I cut the grass today and I left a few weeds... They were pretty little weeds... LOL Here is a pretty weed that has pink blooms... I don't know what it is. But it grows all along our creek.

This other one , had the biggest little bloom while the sun was out. I went to take this picture and the purple bloom had hid... The leaves look funny....

Now on to my rock. I put this rock in a flower bed years ago. Put some little sprigs of ivy and WaLa.... Instant yard art ... LOL

On around the yard and up the little hill toward the potting shed... DH built this for me about 2 years ago. Well you can tell by the empty pots, no potting has went on in this shed. I have not had the time or money for plants this year.. Now to figure out how to move this across the street to new place....

Also the little window opens from the bottom and I can put my little stick on window seal to hold it open.. My potting Soil is in a big bag in there.. LOL

We also got carpet put down in baby girl's room. Put up border and shade. Now we have to get her furniture moved... Picture is not good. I will take another one when furniture is moved in.

And this picture below is all baby girls' stuff in my dinning room. All that is her stuff... Geez..

Now you know why I am not cleaning my house...

Well I have to go now... Have a great weekend April Mechelle

Getting Big Head Again.

April Here.... Head is swelling again. Urghhh. I called Dr. No open appointments this week. I may have to just go as a walk-in tomorrow. They will have to work me in. Last time I did that, I sat for about an hour before they put me back in the room, where you wait again for a long time. But, I need to get this checked. Don't check spelling here... I am typing in the dark with my glasses on.. LOL Still can't type.

Raeanne goes to the Dr tomorrow. I will try to go with her. I want to see the baby. Josh is going too. We are going to show him his sis-ter ( as he calls her). He has not been sleeping good. Ear is draining some.. He is whining a lot. He may have to go to the Dr too... Hope not.

Going to bed now.... April Mechelle

One More Cross Stitch Picture

I have finished the Blackbird Noel from the Just Cross Stitch Ornament issue. Cute and was a fun stitch. I have been doing stitching this week. Since I have been ordered by mom to rest.

Have some more things I am finishing up.

Raeanne's baby shower was Saturday. We had a great time. Raeanne received a lot of great things for baby girl... Still no name. LOL

DH will be installing carpet in baby girl's room tonight. I still need to get over to our house and do things this week. Hope to get moved by time baby girl comes into the world. 4 Weeks....

On my way to take mom to the doctor, April

1 Cross Stitch Finish & 1 Ongoing Christmas Ornament

I did finish I project yesterday. Here is a picture. One Halloween ornament down and seven more to stitch. I am making them for grandchildren. Raeanne, their mother is big Halloween fan. Hope to get all completed before Halloween. I have a big black feather tree, I got at Home Goods store last year. They will hang great on that.

I am working on a Blackbird Design from a JCS Ornament issue. I have a picture of this progress. I don't like much. Hope to finish tonight. Then I can start on another of the Cricket Collections - Halloween ornaments. I keep thinking Only seven more.....

Here is the picture. Don't know how I will do the finishing. Maybe a small square stand-up.

Well I have to close for now.... See Yall Later, April Mechelle

Baby Shower Weekend !!!

This weekend ( saturday) is Raeanne's baby shower. Much to do tomorrow. I have a punch bowl and pitchers to wash. Last minute things to do. I have got the baby's room kiltz and painted. I also painted our closet across the street. I just finished painting ceiling in Baby girl's room. Raeanne chose a pretty light pink as the wall color. Colors are pinks and brown.
All this and tired of antibiotics. Takes me longer to do anything.... Mom went to the doctor yesterday. She is going to have to do 5 to 6 weeks, every day of radiation. This was a shock.. I thought maybe a couple of treatments.
Well I am going to take me a nap... Tired.... April Mechelle

Big Head.... For Real !!!

Well, I woke up this morning with the whole left side around my ear swollen. Scared me. DH took me to the Emergency Care. I have had several bouts with Staph in the past. Had open wounds inside my nose. ENT Dr. scared me, saying infection could go to me brain. Took about 6 months of treatment with high doses of antibiotics. That was 2 years ago. Then I had another bout in March, had sores all around chin and jaw line. Took about 2 months of Antibiotics to help this. Well... Dr said I have Staph in soft tissue around ear on side of my head.. OH Great !!! I am also a diabetic... They gave me a Steroid Shot and Antibiotic Shot. Since me home with 3 prescriptions. Flonase, Creme to put inside of my nose.. ( forgot Name) and antibiotic pills to take.

I went home and got in the bed. Woke up an hour later, my shirt was soaking wet, I had a bad feeling from chest up. Trying to catch my breath. DH took me to our fire station. Then said heart fine , had a fever.. Said possible reaction to meds. I went back to Dr from this morning. They said was possible allergic reaction to steroid shot. I have had this shot before, with other treatments. They hooked me up to an IV and I was in their office for about 3 hours. They were great, calmed me down a lot. I always go into a panic attack. I thought that might have been what happened. But Dr. said NO. Reaction to meds. Anyway I am back home. One needle hole, one IV hole and about 10 diabetic meter picks in the ends of my finger. Doesn't matter... I am glad to be alive. Very scary ordeal.. I 've never been that close to blacking out, I was praying in my head all the way to the fire station. I could hardly talk. Shaking bad too. Had the shakes for about 1 hour. Well enough about my day... I am trying to sleep but I think meds have made me not sleepy. Good Nite April Mechelle
