Been gone a while.

Got out of the hospital last week and haven't been able to sew. I fell on my face a couple of weeks ago and spent a week in the hospital recovering. I broke my sinus cavity above my right eyebrow my nose and oddly enough my little toe on my left foot. I'm supposed to go in the hospital next week to have surgery on my face. The way the Dr. explained it, he's going to cut behind my ears across the top of my head and pull my face half off. He'll replace the broken sinus bones with titanium and then put my face back in place. The only good thing about the surgery is that I'm getting a facelift at the same time. LOL. Anyway, keep me in your prayers. I'll be going into a nursing home for a few months while I recuperate from the surgery. I'll be at golden arms in Welsh, LA.  

Big 'ol Tuesday and doin some charity work.

I recently (a few months ago) decided to change churches. I was born into and raised in the Roman Catholic Church and over the years, I got the feeling that the pope wasn't real pleased witth me. He became very vocal about what he thought should happen to people of my persuasion. I mean where does he think that his church would be if it weren't for gays? No art, very few priests, very few choir directors and no cute dresses for him to wear. Anyway, I did some research and decided to join the Methodist church. I'm not turning this into a religious discussion, but I do want to feel like I belong somewhere and the people there made me feel very welcome. 

I joined the choir and another ministry where I can put my sewing talents to good use, the sewing ministry. As of right now, we make smocks for ladies undergoing treatment for breast cancer. I'd like to expand to other things that we can make to help people, not real sure right now, but there has to be more. I'll post pictures of the smocks as I make them. They're kinda plain, so I just can't leave well enough alone and have added some embroidery on the pockets. Here's my first one.
