HI everyone,
No comments from me today… the doctor wanted to see me again for another ultrasound… the ultrasound guy had left a note about redoing the top section of where my vein had been cauterized…ON THE VERY LAST LINE OF THE REPORT… and the doctor hadn’t seen it. So we had to make another trip out of town to get the ultrasound. The doctor did tell me the results would be given to me, this time with a phone call. That saves a trip. My hubby’s second surgery is coming up very soon… oh boy, here we go again.
Enough on that…let’s talk about Mae!
Let’s see I added 3 new things today… and maybe 4 if you like it…
First was a bow to go on Mae’s dress. When we were out of town today, I asked my hubby if we could stop at the Hobby Lobby so I could look for some blue flowers. Joy suggested maybe just a couple blue flowers in her hat to go with her dress a little better. Well, they had very few blue flowers and the ones they did have weren’t even close to the color I needed… so I did the next best thing… I searched and searched in all my ribbons and found a 9″ piece of a rayon ribbon that was the exact same color like in the hat flowers and decided to add a bow to the dress to pick up some of the hat colors and not worry about the blue flowers for the hat. As I studied the dress and the hat… they did feel a bit disconnected, one was SO peachy and one was SO blue. So I used the bow just under the collar to tie them together. I think it looks sweet.
Next I made a bracelet for Mae, using some glass beads and the one dark pink bell flower as a charm. It’s made on stretch magic cord and picks up the colors of the dress very nicely. Mae likes to look at it. :o)
So we have the hat, the dress, the bracelet, the shoes and so we needed some thigh highs. I made a white pair from a floral design and they were nice… better than bare legs and they filled in the gaps on the shoes when they were just on Mae’s bare feet.
Then I got a little adventurous and wondered if a pinky color might look nice with the dress. I did have some pinky/peach colored stretch fabrics/little girls tights to make another color for Mae’s dress. The color I found was a perfect match to the flowers in her hat, so now if you think they look okay, I will include a second pair of thigh highs with this set…
So I think I’m finished with this set… what started out green shoes for St. Patrick’s Day has slowly evolved to more of an Easter dress… so I’m thinking about calling it Easter Charm.
Thanks everyone,
I guess I better start thinking of who might be up next. I do have another pair of green shoes made… maybe I could try again for St. Patrick’s Day! :o)
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
Oh, gosh, as if you haven’t had enough other stuff to worry about, now you need an additional ultrasound! It’s too bad the doc didn’t see that last line right away! And then with George’s second procedure coming up….as we get older, there are some months when I think my only social life is doctors’ appointments! Especially when Ron was alive, as he had so many different issues.
I’m down in Puyallup tonight. I met up with Tonya and the others at our dinner–it turned out two of them had classes today and the other two went antiquing (looking, anyway). After the dinner three of them came to my room to visit (one of the gals had stayed at the hotel and went to bed early, we think). A fun start to Expo!
Britt showed a gorgeous caftan she’d made in class today, using just certain measurements to draft the pattern, and it was made of a fabulous vintage fabric! And I forgot to take a picture. Maybe I can get her to model it again tomorrow!
Heading off to an early (for me) bedtime. I will be taking pictures, and then sometime next week I’ll send some to Jeanne with the descriptions.
