Heads at Ease pillowcase project - our motto is: ALL OR NONE

How is Chris this am?  Matt & Jess are fine-just no power.  They ended up going to Jess's Aunt's because they have a generator.  No damage at the apartment or the house.

Hope all are safe.

Sue where did you post the pic?

I posted it in the Marines CLB thread.  glad to hear that your children are safe.

I am happy my boy is here.

Lyn I will call you tomorrow after I get back from the new ortho.

Well I like the new ortho he is really nice and caring, he explained a lot more about what is going on with my knee and what could and could not be done. After a long time of talking we all agreed to try the shots and see if that works first before he goes in and does any kind of surgery. Today he drained my knee and got 10cc of fluid off of it and then gave me the first of 3 shots. I go back next Wend, for the 2nd shot. time to ice my knee then back to my school work.

ME so happy that you got the fluid drained and got your shots. Does sound like you have a better doctor! Wow, just imagine having a Doctor talking and discussing with YOU about YOUR knee! Praise Jesus we still have private insurance and not socialized medicine!

I got this post from Florence alittle bit ago.  We have a special connection to Ft. Hood.  

 Sad news from Fort Hood.... a young mom from Fort Hood died in a head-on collision in Killeen. Her newborn baby (2 1/2 weeks old), who was also in the crash, is in the hospital. Grandma is on her way from NY and her husband is trying to get back from IRAQ. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. ♥

got this from my friend Pat this morning.  She gave permission for me to post his photo.

Will is home and is so happy. Thank
you again for all of your love, support, and prayers. He still has a
long journey ahead but we thank God for every day he is smiling.

These were made by the 16year old young lady that I am teaching how to sew. She has mastered the use of my serger and is doing fantastic. I thought I would brag a little on her and let you all see what she is doing. She has NEVER ran a sewing machine let alone a serger. She has made these pillowcases and more and then she has made 2 pillows and is working on a big pillow for her boyfriends brother who has downs syndrom it is his birthday on Sept. 17ths so she comes down everynight and works on stuff while I do my school work. Just so you know I very proud of her.

Paymaster, her mom and sister can't believe how good she is doing, her dad is going to buy her a machine for christmas and called to ask me what kind to get her. He family is greatful that she found something that she loves to do.

great looking pcs ME.  tell her "thanks"! 

thanks for praying for everyone.  keeping Jennifer in prayer.

Sue does some of that Fabric look familar?

Ok I have tried to upload a picture of my pc's.  I keep getting an error message.  Any ideas??

m's mom, do you have internet explorer 8 on your computer?  If yes, that is probably the problem.  You can change browsers if you know how to do that.  That's what N4M advised me and I had no idea on  how to do that.  BUT I have since changed browsers and now I know how to do it haha.  You can email me the photos and I'll post them if nothing else.

Today is the 1 year anniversary of my 1st biological grandson's birth and passing.  (Big sigh).    so glad for a 3 day weekend.

Happy Labor Day ladies!  I had hoped to sew today, but didn't.  HOWEVER, I did cut out 2 aprons, 1 microwave potholder set, 1 microwave baking bag and 1 pillowcase!  whohoo.  Now to sew them haha.

Had a new sewer come this morning to get some fabric.  And it is always fun to meet someone new.

Thank you all for the remembering and the hugs!

That's great Maryellen!   Good writing and thank you.  I agree wholeheartedly!

I have an unspoken prayer request for Ben and Jazz.  Thanks for praying. 

Ladies, I am looking for pictures to go with my poem, I am working on making a video of it, if you have anything that will fit in with the poem please email it to me.

@Sue, prayer for Ben and Jazz going up.

ME-asked my sister if I could share some of her pics of my nephew and his family from the night he deployed to afghanestan.  I will let you know as soon as I hear from her.  For some strange reason she isn't on FB tonight!!

thanks for praying ladies.  ME, I'll email you some photos and you probably have some of them already like the soldier with the pillow and gun.  the beginning of the Ft Hood project.

I love making the pieced ones Natalie, but they do take more time.

welcome to "theninjasmom".  we are happy to have you join us.

Cathy, if you get this message, I tried to accept your friend request, but don't know what happened to it.  please try it again.

Well I had shot number 2 today and I am a little soar, still not much relief but I am trying to stay positive. The doctor did not have to take an fluid off this week and he said thats a good sign. I am still working on my weight and trying to get to the pool as often as I can. If it would quit raining every afternoon I would be in great shape. I have finals next week and then off from school till Oct. 3rd so Miss Emily and I will be sewing and stashing while I am off. Well thank you all for the prayers and I will try and not be gone so much. God Bless You All.

Welcome to all the newbees and I am glad you all are here.

Sorry to hear about your back Lyn.  ME, sounds like you've had alittle relief.  send that rain my way-still over 100 here and dry.

Nita, those 1 year anniversaries are hard.  praying for you all.

I got this news from Terry alittle while ago and she asked me to post it:

Yes, Sue, I mailed 30 pcs.  How are you doing?  Jennifer has been diagnosed with sleep apnea, and her oxygen goes down to 50% sometimes during the day.  She goes to the Pulmonologist tomorrow, to find out if she has lung cancer as well.  She finally got a port put in.  Her birthday is on Tuesday the 13th if you want to send her a card.  She goes for Chemo again tomorrow, and she keeps passing out, and the doctors have not figured out why yet.  But she is home again, just got out of the hospital again on Tuesday.  She needs alot of prayer.  T

off to bed. opened the CARE part this morning at 6:30 am and will do it again tomorrow.  so I am sleepy.  haha
