Update in my Crazy Life!!!!! July 2011

I have been away a long time, haven't I!
So, I've been caring for my sister who had back surgery in September. Even now she's not back to 'normal' because it was her 2nd major surgery in 8 months (in the spring last year she had surgery for her cancer).
Then I had surgery 10 days before my birthday last year. I got pretty cocky about my recuperation and it put me in such a state! I can't describe what I went through but I became dehydrated and had to swallow those horrid supplements to get electrolytes in order. I told you I can't describe the whole thing!
The bad thing is I endangered my health. The good thing is I lost 30 pounds.
Since then I pulled out a rug project I last worked on about 10 years ago. Maybe longer. It's petitpoint (40/inch count) and will be about 4 or 5 feet long and 2 feet wide. And I have been happy working it..
Then a friend came by with 5 necklaces needing repair. That was 2 weeks ago. I've restrung 3 of them and have but 2 left. But I've got some ideas that I think are good.
And that has got me pulling out my beads and scanning books for good ideas: maybe new techniques and definitely bright and cheerful colours.
So there you are. I'm back kinda. We'll see how things go.
