Small Treasures

Everything that can flare is flaring this week: the fibro (of course), the back problems, the mitral valve, and maybe a few things that have yet to be diagnosed. I don't know. I just know I feel lousy. A little better today than yesterday maybe. Yesterday every movement was a major effort. I'm talking MAJOR. And it got worse as the day progressed, until finally by evening, I could barely get around. I hate this. I just hate it. 

The good effects of the epidural are now, I believe, completely worn off. It's back to the hot baths, muscle relaxers, tramadol, and staying off my feet as much as possible. 

I just keep telling myself, it could be worse. Lots of folks have it much worse than I do. Much worse. Thank God for small favors, I guess.

And speaking of small, here are a few pictures of some of the small treasures from our June quilt show.

Sophie's "Yankee Doodle Schnoodle" was on display.

The silent auction wall. We made about $2,500 for the Alabama Alzheimer Association with the auction.

...as we have found at The Yellow House.

Now I'm going to make a Granny Square block.

I'm sorry to read that you're feeling worse again and that the relief brought by the epidural seems to have worn off.

It's so withering hot and humid here, that we're dragging, too.

Thanks for the eye candy of the little quilts that were on display at the guild show. I love little quilts and stand amazed at the tiny pieced ones like are in the doll beds. The wonderful and varied creativity that abounds in these little quilts made by you and your guild members is a delight to behold!

Wishing you WELL!

Gentle hugs from me to you.

Oh, Susan, so sorry you're having such a rough time right now. I stopped and prayed for you right now. Hoping you'll be back up and going full speed soon. Thanks for taking the time to show us some more of the quilts. I LOVED that red heart one. I love hearts and love applique!
