Finally our own little world is starting to get some kind of normal. The last 2 months has been a roller coaster. Thanksgiving went to Texas to visit family and Hubby got sick. He started a new medication and had a reaction to it. He gets his diabetic medicines from the VA. His Dr prescribed a very low dose and the VA sent it out saying to take a higher dose. We had to wait for 6 months before the VA okayed the drug. He couldn’t eat and after 3 days we decided to head home where his Doctors were, rather than Doctors we never met. Drove home 18 hours and 4 hours later we were in ICU. He had gone into DKA(Diabetic Ketoacidosis). He was unconscious for a week. Then a week of just being weak. Youngest Granddaughter’s other grandparent’s got Covid and we had her for 2 weeks then we had Christmas.
This year I have started Christmas shopping already for 2022. This year is no procrastinating. You never know what tomorrow brings.
Today we went to my favorite fabric shop today and got fabric for a quilt.

Then I got started cutting it up and had to laugh to myself. I am spending money on something to cut up work on for days and longer to just put back together. But oh what fun and cheaper than a Therapist.
Got 1/2 the blocks made and ready for the next group of them.

I saw the quilt on facebook and thought I can do this and so here goes I will post a phot once I get them all together.
This post has taken me 2 1/2 weeks to write this post as life has had so many ups and downs. I am so thankful that even tho life has thrown some low downs and up highs the last 2 months, we are here to talk about it and laugh and cry and hug each other. Don’t take 1 moment for granted.
So sorry for all your troubles, but wishing you and your family a blessed and heathy 20202.

Oh my goodness sorry what happened with your husband and sending thoughts of continued healing!
Yes we do buy fabric and cut it up to just put it together again but it definitely is more exciting put together as a quilt!

That was one hullava scare you got with hubby. These Dr’s who just dispense and not observe should be removed from practice. It’s just dangerous. That was a close call. I couldn’t do an 18 hour drive on a bet. I love the fabric and the pattern. Looking forward to seeing it finished. You need the distraction after all of that. Trouble seems to come in bunches. You should be done now. 🙂

Thank you, normally I drive only a few hours at a time. I had an angel on my shoulder to help drive that far. Excited to see the finished quilt too.
