Update

I'm thankful for good friends / neighbors that have dropped off care packages. I'm snacking on my friend Alice's yummy banana bread while perusing a magazine from Amber.

I'm super thankful for my parents who take the kids to their activities, keep me fed, and takes care of me and the kids.

Of course I'm beyond thankful for my husband. We just celebrated our 14 year wedding anniversary on the 27th and then off I went to surgery on the 29th. He waited in the hospital for hours on end with me as they had asked me to go in 2 hours earlier and then delayed me past even my original start time before proceeding. Then I think it took a little longer and he didn't get the updates on when I was moved to recovery. He has been a trooper to sleep on the sofa with me every night and help me all around.

I had a second procedure done (not implants and no don't ask) in addition to the hysterectomy so the recovery has been painful there too. At least they seem to alternate in pain. Maybe my body is sending repair cells in an alternating pattern to each area :-).

I have a few boxes of alcohol wipes / adhesive removers that I keep buying as I keep losing them to clean the gunk from my craft scissors. Miraculously I now have found all three different type boxes and they have been useful in cleaning up all the tape residue. (They are also all together so they now in my craft room so hopefully I won't lose them again.)

As for my to-do list, I walked around more, showered, cleaned my craft room and office for five mins each, printed my pattern, and have started cutting the pieces out. I will probably be able to finish the pattern assembly tonight. Going out is not happening today and I don't think I'll get to any card making.

My stacks of pattern pieces. Won't be able to share photos yet as these are for a test of a yet to be released pattern. I'll post updates on my craft blog when it happens :).
