THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME......

WELL I AM FINALLY HOME, AS OF LAST SATURADAY. AFTER 2 WEEKS IN THE HOSPITAL, THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME. I STILL HAVE A TUBE IN MY LUNG AND SOME RECOVERING TO DO. I GOT TO HAVE A XRAY TOMORROW, AND A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT WEDNESDAY. I HOPE THEY WILL TAKE THIS TUBE OUT OF ME BY THEN. IT IS HARD TO DO ANYTHING WITH TUBES HANGING OFF YA! LOL.

BUT I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF SITTING! GOING TO WORK UP THE ENERGY TODAY TO DO SOME DESIGNING AND SEWING. TIME TO GET BACK TO PATTERN DESIGNS. GET SOME SUMMER PROJECTS GOING. I WANT TO ADD A HUGE COLLECTION OF FALL AND CHRISTMAS PATTERNS THIS YEAR.

I WAS ALL READY TO RE-DO MY DINING ROOM BEFORE I GOT SICK. HAD ALL MY PAINT AND WALL PAPER READY. WAS GOING TO RE-MUD THE CEILING, BY SPONGING ON AND REPAINTING TO COVER OLD CRACKS. I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO GET BACK TO THIS IN A FEW WEEKS. TAX TIME IS CREEPING UP IN A FEW WEEKS! UGH! ANOTHER THING I AM WAY BEHIND ON NOW. TURBO TAX WILL BE ON MY SHOPPING LIST FOR TOMORROW!

THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO KEPT CHECKING IN ON ME THROUGH THIS, THERE ARE ALOT OF WONDERFUL CARING PEOPLE OUT THERE IN BLOG  LAND. THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET.

SO, I HOPE THE NEXT TIME I DO A POST IT WILL BE BACK TO COMING PATTERNS, A NEW DRAWING I HOPE TO DO AND BLOGGING AS USUAL.

WINNER OF MY WEB GIVEAWAY.......

CONGRATULATIONS TO..  MARION DESGRANGE. SHE IS THE WINNER OF THE "DAY AT THE PATCH" CAT HANGER DOLL GIVEAWAY I HAD ON MY WEBSITE.

SHE WILL BE ON HER WAY SOON.

I AM STILL LAYING IN THIS HOSPITAL BED WAITING TO GO HOME.  DAY 11 NOW. I'M HOPING THE WAY THEY TALK, MAYBE TOMORROW.

I'M NOT A SITTER TYPE PERSON, AND THIS IS REALLY STARTING TO WEAR ON ME. I WAS IN BED SICK ABOUT 10 DAYS BEFORE THIS, SO IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAVE DONE ANYTHING. BUT I MUST BE GETTING BETTER WHEN A MILLION IDEAS START  POPPING INTO YOUR HEAD FOR PROJECTS AND PATTERN IDEAS.

I CAN NOT WAIT TO  GET STARTED SEWING UP SOME NEW PATTERNS. I EVEN WANT TO DO SOME FALL/HALLOWEEN ALREADY. THEY ARE MY FAVORITE, AND I WANT A TON OF NEW ONES FOR THIS YEAR. TIME TO GET OUT MY SCETCH PAD!

I STILL HAVE A FEW PACKAGES AT HOME THAT NEED TO GO OUT IN THE MAIL. INCLUDING THE WINNERS OF MY DRAWING ON THIS BLOG.

THANK YOU TO DONNA AND HOLLI FOR THEIR PATENCE WAITING ON ME TO GET TO THESE. THEY TRULY ARE 2 WONDERFUL LADIES.

SLOWLY WORKING MY WAY BACK

I FINALLY GOT MOVED OUT OF ICU YESTERDAY AFTERNOON TO THE REGULAR FLOOR. MY DOCTOR WAS JUST IN. HE THINKS HE WILL BE ABLE TO REMOVE MY LUNG TUBE TOMORROW! I HOPE SO, THAT WILL MEAN ABOUT 24HR. OR LESS TO GO HOME AFTER IT'S OUT. I CAN NOT WAIT TO GET HOME! I MISS MY 2 KITTIES!  FUNNY HOW IT'S THE SIMPLE THINGS YOU MISS ABOUT HOME.

I HOPE TO GET MY EBAY STORE BACK UP AND GOING AS SOON AS I CAN. I CAN STILL DO MY WEBSITE FROM MY LAPTOP, SINCE I AM JUST E-MAILING THE PATTERNS. EBAY WON'T LET US DO THAT, I HAVE TO MAIL AN ACTUAL CD DISC WITH THEM ON. THAT'S A LITTLE HARDER TO DO FROM A BED, LOL!

I CAN NOT THANK ALL OF YOU DEAR BLOGGERS THAT HAVE SENT ME GET WELL MESSAGES, AND KIND WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT. MAY GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU, I KNOW I DO!

LIVE FROM MY HOSPITAL BED..........

WELL THE PAST WEEK HAS BEEN FULL OF SURPRISES. WHAT STARTED OUT AS A   FLU AND SOME BACK PAIN (OR SO I THOUGHT) QUICKLY TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORST. AFTER LAYING AROUND GETTING SICKER AND SICKER, I ENDED UP IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM SATURADAY NIGHT. I HAD A BACTERIAL LUNG INFECTION/PNEUMONIA CALLED EMPYEMA. THEN MY LUNG COLLAPSED.

WAS A PRETTY BAD NIGHT, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE WORST CASE OF THIS THEY EVER SEEN, ANOTHER12/24 HRS. I WOULDN'T OF MADE IT THROUGH. WOW. HOW SCARY IS THAT.

NOW I AM STILL SITTING HERE IN ICU, FULL OF ANTIBIOTIC IV'S, TUBES DRAINING MY LUNGS. I THINK I WILL BE IN HERE A FEW MORE DAYS.

I'M NOT USED TO BEING THIS STILL AND CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUT OF HERE. BUT ONE THING THIS HAS TAUGHT ME IS TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH, ONE LITTLE THING CAN TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN REAL FAST.

NOW I GOT THE TIME I WAS LOOKING FOR TO SURF THROUGH SOME OF YOUR BLOGS SOME MORE. SOME OF YOU LADIES COME UP WITH THE GREATEST THINGS! IT IS ALWAYS SO NICE TO HAVE SO MANY TALENTED PEOPLE SHARING EVERYTHING.

HOPE MY NEXT POST IS FROM HOME! WILL KEEP UPDATED.
