I cannot believe it is already September, boy does time just seem to fly by!!! Can't tell you what I have been doing lately as we are so busy I can hardly remember one day to the next! Think I need to take some time and slow down! Of course that is coming really soon as I am scheduled for hand surgery at the end of the month! I have been having problems with my hand/fingers for a while (like the past 5 years) and finally the pain has gotten so bad that I went to the dr. Well they found a mass on the base of my ring finger, attached to my tendon sheath...it feels like a small rock in my hand! So the plan is to have surgery to remove it...it is my left hand and of course I am left handed so this will pose a bit of trouble during the recovery. I will be out of work for several weeks, all of October to be exact!!! Yikes! Hopefully though I will go back and be feeling so much better! anyway there will be no crafty fun from me for a while! So I should share some of the last few things I have been doing over the past month or so...
