On ANOTHER Different Note..

I am sick, AGAIN. 2nd time this year ive had asthmatic bronchitis, which is horrible alone, but when your spouse gets it--oh goodness! LOL. Its terrible waking up in the morning barely able to breathe. I have a back problem as well so when I cough,..well, lets just say ive almost fallen over a few times! NOT FUN!! Anyone else out there in blogland get sick a LOT?

I strongly suggest everyone who visits my blog to go to GenerationCures! Its a fundraising and educational website about Boston Childrens Hospital. I had been there twice for a week or longer each time-i had chronic Pancreatitis.I was one of the 1st children in both BCH & Baystates history to have Pancreatitis-I was in and out of both hospitals from 7 years old until 10. Pancreatitis is *USUALLY* called by alcholism but in my case I was accidentally hit in the stomach with a baseball bat. BCH was awesome to me and when Baystate didnt know what to do, i got sent to Boston & they always helped and treated us all very well.

Thanks!

Im planning to make a bunch of easter clay items-heres my 1st one, Mr Easter Bunny :) I took the idea from several clay bunnies I had seen on the web and added my own touches. Hes sanded now and looks much better. I still have to make "grass" to go in the basket and I already made a couple eggs-which im thinking of painting them with water color. Neat effect I think. When hes done Ill post more :)

My happy planted flower :) along with my mini-snowman and another i am working on





My Thanksgiving Turkey :) lol i made him totally cartoon-ish, and some pumpkins and I am going to make a cornicopia and put them all on a thick piece of painted wood and write "happy thanksgiving" or something on the front... will post more pics once im done painting them all



Getting ready for all the seasons. My "big" snowman all done. Going to do the same if not similar idea as mentioned above. Still working on 2 others.





My Jack Skellington (from the nightmare before christmas) he has a black widow spider on the side.




This was actually my 1st try at clay. My friend Lynn (see Shes a Masterpiece) works a lot with creative paperclay and it peaked my interest-shes AMAZING at all the neat stuff she does-and ive been hooked ever since. She also started me on this blog site ;) lol

Surgery!

I had carpel tunnel surgery 10/13/09 on my right hand. It took the 6 tries to get an IV in (omg!!! lol),which is common but they hurt me!! My surgery was scheduled for 2:30 and I didnt get in until 4:30 because it took an hour for the IV, and then another hour because it took them so long to get it in they started taking other patients. UGH! lol But im totally happy I had it-it has been a painful recovery but quick!

This was my beautiful cast/splint i wore for 10 days. It was really big and bulky. By day 3 is was ready to rip it off!! lol
Today, Oct 22-a WONDERFUL day-i had my cast removed along with the stitches-heres a pic with the stitches-i think there were 4...not bad!
After I got back home I snapped this pic after the stitches were taken out. It looks more red now and prominent....but it feels SOOO much better!!!!
