Where to start...

Well, we have a had a few interesting, crazy days in my household! Let's start with a belated Happy Birthday to me, on Saturday. During which my little girl somehow tripped, fell, and got a huge swollen bruise on her foot. The scream said broken to me, but I'm usually the hypocondriac, being a nurse and all.  Anyway, off to ER on Saturday night, {previous said birthday:a party actually}, they said it was not broken, possible sprain. The next morning, i.e. Easter, we got the call it was probably broken, oops, so let's set you up to see the orthopedist Monday. Meanwhile, how do you keep an eight year old from running on said broken foot, when there is an Easter egg hunt vs. some very eager cousins and older brother? Not easy folks.

Today, the aforementioned foot was placed in a large boot (toes to knee) and the process of how to help the little one navigate the world ensued.  Not to mention the fact that her school is about 100 years old, and there are no elevators. Oh, and dance, gymnastics, and softball (which we coach) are a no go for at least 4-6 weeks.  Oh,  I haven't even mentioned we are having a wall removed in the living room, a larger & nicer fireplace surround built, and all new crown molding installed on the first floor.   Plus waiting for the basement remodel to be done.   Still haven't heard any word on the carpet. Rats.....

 So, even though I spent 5 hours at my LQS for a do whatever you like class on Saturday, where I decided to start working on my new bag, all I basically have the pieces cut out.   Not much to see really. It was a lot of work fusing that little folks to an interfacing, and trying to cut each pattern piece about 4 times each of fabric, interfacing, fusible and a thicker Pellon! When I get my house & life back together, I promise to post some pictures.

 Since I haven't posted in a week, I do hope you all had a nice Easter.  And that it was just a little more relaxed than mine!!!!!!
