Arizona has been toying with the summer heat. The last few days have been nice, but now it is going to be really hot and the first few days of really hot weather is always a bummer for me.
On top of the heat, my trigger finger is getting worse. Hubby convinced me I needed to call the doctor so I did. They set up an xray so I had that done yesterday. The tech was not going to be in until late in the afternoon, so I came home. You know how they always bend things terribly uncomfortably while taking pictures, so I was in pain. I took some motrin and took it easy. Doctors appointment is not until June 13th. However if it really gets hurting much worse I can go in early any morning except Thursdays and sit and wait to see if there is a cancellation or time between appointments for her to see me to refer me to the proper doctor if needed.
I have been bummed out also as I cannot crochet with this finger acting up. Hubby did get me a sewing machine and we were going to get some fabric at Wal Mart but we had a horrendous experience and walked off without the fabric. We came home and ordered fabric online, and are now waiting for the fabric to arrive in the mail. It should be here sometime between Monday and Wednesday next week. In the meantime I am bored stiff and do a lot of looking at fabric to purchase when I finish sewing up what is coming.
Must go, hand is starting to hurt again. Love to all and have a lovely day.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
did you give the bear to the couple at church yet?
I quit shopping wal mart several years ago. Just always had experiences. I bought a new sewing machine years ago ,mine that can so quilting,MIT has been a nightmare. I paid 200 last year to get it cleaned and repaired. It worked a little white and trouble again
I gave up, so,there lays the quilt for my daughter half made.
Let me know how ordering fabric online went.
Maybe some biofreeze will help your hand.
Hope all goes better.
I picked up a beautiful sewing machine at an antique store. I think I pain forty bucks for it. It has beautiful black iron scrolls in between the legs on the side and a black platform down by your feet it has the criss cross design making little squares & the machine is the old heavy black one where you push your leg against the lever to control the speed. I was surprised when we got it home that the three little drawers on each side on the front were filled with thread, bobbins, the original replacement parts, scissors and many other goodies. We got it around four years ago & I just know I'm actually going to use it sometime this decade lol I used to sew a lot when I was in my teens I really need to sit down and just make something.
That sucks that your Walmart experience went south, I hope your fabric shows up sooner rather than later.
I hope your finger feels better soon, I know how much you love your crocheting. I'm sending up prayers for healing and comfort.
Hugs & God Bless

Ps feel free to share a tiny bit of your heat were going down to 30 degrees for the next couple of nights with highs near fifty during the day. Fingers crossed we'll hit 70 over the weekend.
Hope that sewing machine brings you comfort over what you can't do.
Hugs......Toni
it's so nice to see you! I've missed you and I'm sorry you're dealing with all of these problems with your hands. I know how much you love to crochet and for something to keep you from doing that must be really bothering you. I used to crochet, but the swelling and numbness and pain in my fingers made me stop, but my crocheting is nothing compared to the beautiful things you make.
I'm glad you got the sewing machine and sorry you had problems with Walmart and their customer service. I don't care for them either, but their prices are great. I go to Joanne's fabrics for a lot of my stuff now. Have you ever used them Grammagus? I hope and pray you feel better soon so that you can get back to your crocheting that means so much to you. I pray that your pain eases soon and they find out what is causing it.
Again, it is nice to see you on the board. I'm keeping you and Ed in my prayers.
Hugs and love,
