I did some crafting. I stumbled across Subversive Cross Stitch randomly and found a pattern addressing cancer. I emailed Julie, the owner, to ask if she could tweak the pattern for tumors. She did (for free) and told me that her brother had died of a very aggressive brain tumor. She said lots of words of support and I was off! After receiving my cross stitch kit in the mail, I created this beauty.
Pardon my French, but it's deserved
This little ray of sunshine now hangs in my bathroom
I sent these pictures to Julie to show her how well it turned out, since it was the first F Tumors cross stitch to be done (I'm such a trailblazer, I know...). She asked me if she could share it on her site's Facebook page, and I told her of course she could. Well, it got a REALLY great reception!! I was SO touched and teared up at work (right after she posted it) with all of the wonderful things all these random strangers had to say.
I think my favorite is the guy who says "She looks much too nice to have such a potty mouth, but I have to agree with her on this point." HA!!!
I've also been continuing to clean the clutter from my life (and physically from my apartment). I had a large pile of hats and scarves that have lived on the floor next to my couch since May. With my new 'do, they are officially retired!
My head feels cold already!
Some of these are getting donated and some I'm keeping (and may wear casually, for fun! nuts, right?!). There are just too many for me to keep.
On Saturday, besides enjoying the company of my out of town guests Mindy and Casey and prepping for my party (details in a post to come), I also received what may be the greatest wedding save the date magnet of all time from my seester Amy. OF ALL TIME.
GENIUS!
This magnet will likely live on my fridge forever. Past the wedding, past more cleaning out the crap from my life, FOREVER. I canNOT get over it! I LOVE IT!
Alright, I'm almost caught up. Details about the best birthday party ever coming soon!!!
