This has been a long month!!

My life has been a little crazy lately with myself being sick, then my mother and then my daughter being admitted into the hospital  The rheumatoid arthritis is attacking my body with a vengeance as well, my back seems to be getting worse.  I can't sit or stand, let alone walk.  This constant pain is slowly killing my spirit. I am trying so hard not to let it win. I feel like a hermit and a slacker lately.  Thank goodness that Dennis and the kids know how I feel and they all pitch in and help me out and try to encourage me to keep moving. 

Onto some good news. I am in a Fabric Challenge Contest and am so excited about participating in it.  In this challenge we are given a yard of fabric and can use it all or as little as we want to create something. The fans will then be asked to vote on the project.  I love the fabric and have mine almost done. Melinda from Spiffy Dolls did and excellent job of picking out the fabric.  We all will reveal what we have made on May 3rd.  I can't wait to see everything.  There is a lot of talent among us.
