Learning To Live

I've got no strings.  It's been 5 days since I finished my home IVs, and a week and 1/2 since I got home from the hospital.  Hopefully I'll be blessed enough to go another 18 months without IVs - but if not I'm okay with that too - the care I got this time was well worth the drive.  I'm going to say again how much I LOVE my new hospital - it's so fantastic.  I'm so glad I made the choice to go farther away to get better care.  In other news, I now weigh 176 - yes, that middle digit is a SEVEN, not an EIGHT or a NINE... when I was in the hospital that middle number became a 9 and it was pretty tragic... but I've lost all that weight since I've been home.  Ten more pounds and I'll be done losing weight and I'll begin the journey of learning how to maintain my weight. I've been keeping busy - knitting, quilting, scrapbooking.  I have so many craft projects going it's ridiculous.  But one scrapbook is done and one quilt almost done....

I think I've decided (just this instant while I was watching TV) to start a CRAFT BLOG. I've tried keeping craft binders and craft notebooks, but I'm just not very good at it. So I think I'm going to start a craft blog as a place to keep track of things I want to make and things I have made (hopefully with photos of the things I have made).  I could go back and take photos of things like the uber impressive knitting bag I made.  It's more like a knitting supply tank than a bag, but it's great.  The idea came after I had the quick idea to make a crafting tool belt - something like an apron where I can keep my pens and scissors and glue sticks when I'm scrap booking.  I can keep my pencils and scissors and thread in it while I quilt.  I can keep my tape measure, my scissors, my pattern and pens, and my other knitting needles I need in it while I'm knitting.  Now I just need to figure out how to make that apron-thing.  Shouldn't be too hard.  B...
