Jamie underwent eye surgery late Wednesday afternoon. The up side: once the healing completes, her vision should pretty much be perfect. Which is great news for someone as young as she is. The down side: for a few days she will be quite uncomfortable. She’s allowed to become a baby during this time, needing constant care and attention every hour on the hour. She’s actually a great patient. It can’t be easy not to be able to see, and have your eyes drip non-stop, plus have nothing to do other than listen to audio books and sleep.
This in itself is taking up my time. On top of it, my darling mother hasn’t been feeling well this week. This finally led to a trip to the emergency room and, after a battery of tests, the discovery that she has a kidney stone. And it really wants to come out. So that’s the plan for today. And since I can’t split myself down the middle to take care of both my “girls,” this is one of those times that I am ever so grateful for my children. Half the family present at the moment (which includes two dogs and a cat) gets to take care of Jamie, while the other half will spend the day at the hospital with Oma (as her grandchildren lovingly call her), while that pesky stone is removed.
I’m sure you’ll understand why I will not be posting over the next few days. But for those of you who celebrate, I certainly wanted to wish you a lovely Easter weekend. 🙂
I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I am learning how to dye my own fabrics and am dabbling with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.

I live in Georgia, USA and am enjoying reading your blog. I wish all of your family healing in the coming days. Happy quilting.
I have enjoyed reading your blog for quite a while now. I find it so interesting that no matter where we live, we are far more alike than different! My prayers are with all of you now. Hope you can enjoy a happy Easter somehow!
I think you deserve a few weeks off;)
I hope all goes well with your family and you can enjoy some time to relax afterwards.

My thoughts are with all of you Angie. Take some time for the family and we’ll be with you in spirit.
You’ve been stretched thin! Glad to know Jamie and your mother will be ok. Hugs, big hugs.
I hope you have a very Happy Easter.
