A few years ago, my friend and neighbor Maria gave me this framed art for Christmas. It's by a local Birmingham composite artists named Don Stewart. (Follow the link to see more of his work.) When I was reorganizing, I sat on it and broke the glass so now I have to have another piece put in. Click on the photo and enlarge it and see how many sewing and needlework related objects you see.
I got up early this morning, made my coffee, and went back to bed with a cup to read blogs and play Words With Friends. I knew I needed to get up and start my day, but I resisted. You see, as long as I stay in bed (usually), my back doesn't hurt. I got it hurting so bad yesterday, running errands to the drug store and the grocery store, that I had to go to bed in the afternoon and stay there, for the most part, the rest of the day. I managed to get the dogs fed, make Jesse some enchiladas, and that was it for me.
So far this morning, all seems pretty good. No super bad pain, yet.
I rescheduled Sopie's vet visit to this afternoon. I just didn't think I could take that stress, on her and me, with my back pain screaming. So I'm going to try to take it easy until time to go to the vet.
Apparently, we aren't going to be bothered by Isaac the Hurricane. At least that's what it looks like from here. Reports keep telling us we'll have heavy rain and possible tornadoes. But so far, just showers. Everyone on the coast, and especially in New Orleans, is in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear you back has been so painful and I hope the morning of rest will help a lot. Do you have a heating pad to lean against when it's bothering you? I find that a heating pad helps me a lot.
What good news to hear that Isaac isn't bring bad weather to your area, but like you, my heart goes out to the people in its destructive and dangerous path. What a heartbreak that areas of New Orleans are again devastated.
I'm under the weather myself because of a GI annoyance or bug of some bothersome sort that robbed me of a lot of sleep last night. I took a quick glance at the interesting sewing machine drawing and saw many sewing items. What fun!
Be good to you! Sending hugs!

Hi Susan -
I love the print and it was fun looking at it and trying to pick out all of the sewing items the artist incorporated into it. Some people are just so dang clever. Where the blazes was I standing when they were handing out the cleverness gene? Sorry to hear your back is giving you grief & hope it feels better soon. Glad your not feeling the effects of Isacc too. Those poor folks in LA have just had it haven't they? Up here in good ole Pennsy where I live we don't get bothered much by hurricanes or tornados, just the occasional opressive heat wave in the summer or sometimes a decent snowfall in winter although last winter was very mild. "Knock on Wood"
Blessings to you and to your fur-child Sophie this afternoon. Hope all goes well.
Linda

Thinking of you, Susan, and hoping your back pain goes away soon. I've been a terrible blogging friend, but I've been so ... busy.
I'm hoping Isaac doesn't cause many problems in his path, too.

Wow....it is nice to know your sewing room can look like that too!!! I will take pictures of mine before I start cleaning today to begin again. Love your stories and reading about your life. The reunion sounds like fun and I love, love your guest room.
