Tuesday Talk

It's about time I got another post going. It's been a bit crazy here so my poor computer has been neglected so I will try to get caught up on things.

Thank you for your kind words, thoughts and prayers for my MRI that I had yesterday. The mask issue was a bit daunting but with Husband sitting in a chair at my side holding my hand ( doesn't it make you just want to swoon?! ) it went well and the claustrophobic issues were over within 5 minutes and the rest was fine. Hopefully I will get the results today or tomorrow. The young gal that gave the test was just so nice and didn't rush me into the machine, took her time and even let me take the mask off while she injected the dye so that I could have a little break from it. It wasn't bad really.

I took my two main sewing machines and my 35 year old Singer in to be fixed in the afternoon. The Singer was fixed in 5 minutes but I had to leave my Bernina's to be worked on. Got a call later in the day and my repair man couldn't fix either one of them after working at it all afternoon. He normally doesn't work on Bernina's anyway but after much pleading and begging by me he said he would give it a try. Now I have to go get them and take them to Auburn which is two hours away to the Bernina dealership. UGG! I NEED these machines especially right now as they have all the fancy stitches, bells and whistles that my old Singer doesn't have. Out of desperation I opened up the box with the machine that I bought T for Christmas, a Baby Loc, and it has some of the things I need but it is very slow which is why I bought it for her so that she wouldn't stick her little fingers. I think I will use the old Singer for the main stitching and the Baby Loc for the fancy stitches I need on some of my totes.

Gave Mom her perm a couple days ago. I talked her into letting me post the before and after pictures against her better judgement. heehee! Hang on, the first picture is a bit scary but the results are worth it! She is such a good sport!!! xoxox How did I do on my rolling, Tina? Love you Mom!!!

A couple people asked about our new small tote design that we are doing for the craft fair. I have one picture, it shows the button and there is a little loop that goes over it to keep the bag shut. It's small with just one pocket and one shoulder strap. Good for shopping. We're trying to pick some colors that the teens would like. This lady bug one I think I am going to keep for myself as I love lady bugs. These are fun and work up faster then the 4 hour ones. These are $18.00 plus shipping.

I have been going up to see Lil' Bud since my fall but can't ride even though the doc said I could. One of the big bruises is on the inside of my calf and that rubs right on the saddle and hurts so I'm waiting till that is gone. This picture he looks kinda chunky but I guess he is kind of the old typy Morgan and is chunky. He is such a good boy and a really honest horse, always is really willing and never acts bad with inexperienced riders. Some horses the minute they know you don't know what you are doing they act really bad. My fall was not his fault in any way.

One night when the moon was full I went out and got a couple of pictures. They came out kind of funny looking but interesting. Some people would probably think they were UFO's but it's just the moon. I think I must have moved a bit when I took the picture.

Went swimming this morning then off to drop something off at Husband's office, the pet store for cat food, my massage and then my adjustment on my neck. Bought all the horses the florescent orange halters even though there is not supposed to be any hunting on my property. Buddy needs to gain some weight before winter so I put him in his stall with a couple big flakes of hay. If I put it outside the others would take it away from him. I gave them a snack but they are fat so don't need the extra. We think that his weight loss (which he needed to lose some) was caused by depression at being in the ring by himself so much and dealing with the pain in his feet. Now he is doing great and even has his second pair of backwards shoes on.

The painters are still here and probably will be for another week. Sigh.........

Pea over at Pea's Corner sent all of us that are participating in her Halloween Swap the names of who we are swapping with. I have been picking up stuff for my fellow swapper and will get the package into the mail tomorrow! This is so much fun, I can't wait to see what comes in my goodie package!! Thanks Pea for hosting this!!! xoxox She also is hosting a Birthday Give Away with some adorable prizes so stop on over and take a looksy!

Guess that's about it. I think I'd better get down in the ole' sweat shop and work on some totes. Thanks again for your kind thoughts about my MRI and I will update on the results when I get them. I hope they found a brain in there!!!!!
