More posting to come.....


I am sorry I haven't posted much lately, like I said before I have chronic sciatica pain, and other medical problems (gastroparesis, endometriosis, hypoglycemia..) and I am not here to complain about them, but to let you know that I haven't posted lately because they have been acting up and I haven't felt well for quite a while, so I hope things will ease up soon so I can post more frequently. Hoping to make a new post next week!

I have so many things I want to post, I have managed to do a little decorating, and some projects that I need to take pictures of, and some upcoming embroidery projects (my new hobby) that I want to tell you about.

I also was thinking of doing a book review now and then, I have several decorating type books I would like to let you know about and show you some pics of.

So I have a lot of ideas for this blog, and to make and hopefully sell someday, if I can get myself together!

I just wanted to say, hang in there, I'll be back!

I also want to thank Liz for tagging me, I promise I will do that next week!!! Sorry!!!!
Here is her blog here: http://fluffyknitting.blogspot.com/
The picture above is a bit of decorating I did, a corner shelf, more pics of it later! I painted that rose painting! :O) And the rest is just pretties I put with it, the wedding favor was from a recent wedding my inlaws went to and my MIL gave it to me, I thought it was so pretty! Those little umbrellas I am addicted to! And the birdies (and butterflies as you will later see!) Oh, and shells, LOL! And the jar is just full of pretty rick rack (sigh) and ribbons!

See you all soon!!! :O)
P.S. did you know if you click on the pictures they will come up full size? I just realized that, duh! LOL! You can see the detail in my paintings more that way!

Erin, I thought of you when I was at the beach. You would have gone crazy picking up all the shells scattered there.

Thank You Liz!

Gee thanks Pam, uh, no hypochondria here, the DOCTORS told me I had those medical problems, I didn't dream them, and I HAVE been getting on with my life, for the past damn 12 years I have had Sciatica pain, and I get up and go EVERY DAMN DAY! I get my housework and everything done, so I postponed a few blog postings instead, I just have my priorities straight, and I feel sorry that you have to go to other blogs and be mean and nasty to other people to feel better! You are sick!

Lea said...

Wow, I know people can be randomly mean, but jeez that Pam takes the cake. Well Erin just take it with a grain of salt...she obviously doesn't know and lurve you like the rest of us do!! And she's a nurse. LOL NICE BEDSIDE MANNER.

Pay no mind to grinches! :)

Erin D. said...

Thanks Lea, you really are the sweetest my friend! :O)

It's hard not to let it get to me.

I am just stunned, I would never do that to anyone on their blog, even if I didn't agree with her posts I wouldn't say anything, wow, just stunned.

Anonymous said...

Erin, you are just too sweet and pretty to let a unkind comment get to you.

Pam seems to be having a really bad day. Nurse? Allllrighty then.

Love your pictures! You sound happy and you look happy. Can't ask for more than that. Happiness is it's own reward. I hope your health improves!

It sounds to me like Pam is someone that knows you. A lot of venom from someone who is a stranger?

Your friend,
Barb

Erin D. said...

Thanks Barb! You are awesome!

Hmm, have no idea how she would know me?? I don't know many people out here on the web? But yes, lots of venom.

Michelle said...

Erin,

In case Nurse Pam deletes the comment I posted on her blog, I am posting it here for all to see. I know you certainly do not need me to stick up for you, but as your friend, I wanted to.
------------------------------
So your cat died. SUCK IT UP! It was only an animal! How does it feel Pam? You had the nerve to go on my friend Erin's blog and told her to suck it up after she posted about her medical problems and the pain she has been in for many years. Isn't that nice! And from a nurse no less! How compassionate of you! Then again, I've NEVER run into a compassionate nurse in my life! Erin is one of the most wonderful people I have ever known. She is kind, caring, loving, and so sweet.

WHY did you feel the need to leave such a negative and hurtful comment on her blog? Having a bad day or are you this miserable all the time??!!
--------------------------

Erin D. said...

Thank you Michelle, I know you didn't feel you had to stick up for me but because you know me, it is sweet that you wanted to! I appreciate your kindness and loyalty! I would want to do the same if someone was so mean to you too! :O)

Erin,

I am speechless. I'm so sorry someone would find the need to add a rude comment to your blog.

I love your new banner and you take beautiful pictures. You have a real knack for creating vignettes.

I hope you feel better, soon, since I look forward to reading and seeing more of what you are doing.

By the way, how is the afghan coming along?
Oh, I love the rose painting, too.

~Elaine~

Erin D. said...

The afghan is a little slow right now, but it's coming along, I have done some other things lately so I haven't spent as much time on the afghan, but look forward to spending more time on it. When I get more progress done I will post it! I am still loving crocheting and the afghan!

Sparks said...

Pam, you ignorant arrogant $%&@, You have absolutly no clue what you are talking about.

The surgeon who is using the video of Erin's last operation as an teaching aid for his medical students of the most severe case of endometriosis he has ever seen, after removing golfball size cyst's, might disagree with your diagnosis of hypochondria.

Perhaps if your sciatic nerve was constantly being irritated by any activity and causing you constant pain, you might just have a clue what she's been going through for 14 years.

I won't detail all of Erin's ailments or the hundreds of tests she's had done or the suffering that she's endured.

You see I've been with her these past 14 years and seen all she's been through.

She might have some (REAL) medical problems but you will never meet a kinder stronger more loving person and I'm proud to call her my wife.

So take your foot out of your mouth and be nice!

Erin D. said...

OH I LOVE YOU HUBBY!!!! :O) <3

You are the BEST!!! Thank YoU!

Sparks said...

I Love you too Honey :-)

babette said...

Cheer up Erin, the world is full of a**holes :( I would hate to be in the hospital and have her as my nurse!!!!
I hope that you will feel better soon and get on with finishing that blanket :)))
What a lucky gal to have such a loving & caring husband!!!!!

Erin D. said...

Oh Thank You Babette! You're sweet! And LOL!

Yup, I will get the blanket finished, then on to a granny square one for Hubby and after that maybe a ripple one for our bed! Lots of crocheting and decorating ahead for me!
And I am a very lucky gal! :O)))

Pam how dare you make such mean comments about "my baby". She is a caring and loving person and I am proud to call her my daughter.

Anonymous said...

Ok, who left the dead goats in the garbage again? You know that attracts trolls!

Seriously, Pam, you clearly don't know your arse from a hole in the ground, so don't try psychoanalyzing my sister over the internets, k?

Erin D. said...

Thanks Mom and Sis, Love You guys! :O)

Shabbee Chick said...

Anita said...

Just found your blog! Love your header!! Adore your mixing of reds, aquas, pinks. Beautiful!!

Sarah and Jack said...

Oh my, I see that someone must have had her naughty knickers on before I got here. :-(

Anyway, I also have a lot of problems with sciatica (it was so bad when I was pregnant I had to crawl to the bathroom). I wonder if you have tried acupuncture? It helped me so much when Jack was still a hitchhiker.
