I took a craft class on Friday night. It was using quilting ideas to make greeting cards. It was really neat. I was so pleased I thought I'd post my first two efforts. Not bad for my first try.

Card 2My next project is covering a photo album in a really nice art paper (read $8/sheet :/ ) It's a bday present for my sister. I need to ( Read more... )

I had a huge fright this evening. I had let Lickie out to scamper about outside and while she was out there the neighbour behind us let out his two big dogs. Goddamn but those things terrify me! (and I'm not normally scared of large dogs. . .one is a doberman and the other a rottie cross I think). They made a run at me once before. This evening ( Read more... )

That fish I was so convinced was going to die last night made it through the night. It seems pretty good. . .not swimming upside down as much. Still not convinced it's going to make it but miracles do happen every so often :/

After I miscarried on Wednesday I started cramping again on Thursday afternoon. Passed a bit more tissue but decided on Friday when I started cramping AGAIN that I needed to talk to my doctor. He managed to squeeze me into his schedule for a quick ultrasound that showed I still had tissue inside me. A 10% chance of not fully miscarrying and of ( Read more... )

After 10 days of sheer and total agony, I finally miscarried. It was quite awful. I wasn't in any physical pain until yesterday then OMG! I wasn't prepared for the pain of cramping. Not even codeine helped. I don't do well with pain and I've always known this. In fact H and I had discussed me having an epidural had I carried to term. If I am ( Read more... )
