Thank you all for your lovely, and very helpful, comments last week. Life is better, tho I am still struggling with some side effects of the meds, a manufacturing change might have to be made. I wish I could tolerate meds like Hubster, but I am happy that I won’t likely ever get addicted to drugs, I can’t stand the adverse reactions! LOL However, buying fabric, now that’s an addiction I don’t ever want to recover from!!

I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better. I’ve got similar feelings about medication: so many make me feel weird and I don’t like that feeling.
You had a super productive week! Everything is beautiful!
Thanks! I had fun in the making. I think I have an issue with chemicals and processed stuff. So I try to avoid as much as possible. I am allergic to most cleaners and solvents, so it makes sense other chemicals can be an issue. > >
my daughter is like you and medications she has a lot of trouble with them, me I take them for years with barely know that I take them other knowing that if I dont’ I will know I am not taking them if you know what I mean.
I hope this week will be much better for you
Thanks! I am going back for bloodwork, so fingers crossed the numbers are better. >
Glad you’re feeling better! You sure have been busy. I love the cowl and the shawl!
Thanks! Life is getting better for sure. > >
Beautiful shawl, fun zipper pulls. Hope you have a better week!
Thank you!! I do too. > >
Lots of great projects on the go. Congrats on your lovely shawl and cowl finishes!
Thanks! I have been wearing the new cowl non-stop since I finished it. LOL > >
You did well on the stitching front this week. Congrats on the progress on your different projects. Hope this week is much less stressful on the health front. Thank you for linking up with the 15 minutes to stitch post.
Thanks, it was a good week. I have a blood draw on Tuesday to determine how things are with the A1C and liver. Fingers crossed! > >
Do you have instructions for the zipper pulls? I love the way you finish off the top. I have so many beads and would love to use them. These look like fun.
Here is a wonderful video for earrings that is the same process I use. Instead of an earring finding I just use jump rings. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=&view=detail&mmscn=mysv&mid=9EEB242AF3FF1C0186859EEB242AF3FF1C018685&FORM=SVIM01
Hi Chris! I’m so glad to hear you are doing better. {{Hugs}} Great job on the stash report this week. The hubster is home now for a bit? I hope you are enable to enjoy time together. ~smile~ Roseanne
Thanks! It’s been a good weekend, Hubster should be home for a good while, and we even had a date Friday night!! LOL > >
The stitch markers and zipper pulls are very chic!
Thanks! Once I got going on them I couldn’t stop! >
I don’t do great with most medications either, so I try to avoid them as much as possible. You are doing great with all your projects – such beautiful work!
I need to find easy, natural “meds”! Thanks

Hope you are feeling better. I love that stitch markers can also be zipper pulls.
Much better, but then today was a wringer with all the activity, quilt meeting and a workshop to oversee! But it’s a great kind of frazzled! > >
