Let it Snow!

Morning!!! Today we may actually have our first real snow accumulation that will require a shovel. It was snowing like crazy earlier but it all melted...so we shall see. It would be kind of nice to have snow for Thanksgiving.

I have only gotten my urine test back and that came back a-ok!!! The doctor was happy...ME TOO!!! The ultrasound was really quick and easy. I am guessing that I will have those results at some point this week. I have been flooding my kidneys per doctor's orders and that is getting easier. (60-80 oz is a lot!!!)

I have been working on some new projects these days. In Chicago, I went to the store Anthropologie for the first time...I loved it! There was a really pretty scarf that I really wanted but didn't want to pay $68 for. I'm trying to make my own version for about $15. I will show you pics if it turns out. I, also, got some other ideas from there to add a little something to some Target sweaters that I got on clearance. So another $15 instead of $78. I will post those too when they are done. And lastly, I am making some reproduction mitten ornament/gift card holders that I saw at Crate and Barrel. They were selling for $8 each and I think mine are about 25 cents. I will take pics of those too, later today. I have only made 2 so far. So, I have been keeping busy.

Sorry for the lack of photos...they will come! Now, I am off to wrap my sons and sister-in-laws Christmas gifts to get them off to UPS. (Beating the rush and my son likes to put his gifts under his tree in Oklahoma).

Have a wonderful day and Thanksgiving (if I don't post again)!!! Hugs!!!

Hi Kim, I am still waiting for our first snow with some accumulation. We had a itty bitty tiny one. Sounds like you have been a busy girl. I've never been to Anthropology but I droll over the catalog.

Hi Kim ~ It's currently snowing and snowing and snowing up here...the roads have gotten bad! So glad your urine test came back all right :) Can't wait to see all the things you've been working on!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, as well!

I'm glad to read that your test came back ok. That must be a nice relief!! I hope the results of the ultrasound are just as good. That is a lot of water. I remember when I used to try to get 60 oz in a day. It was hard!!! My doctor actually told me I was drinking too much!

It sounds like you are being really crafty! I can't wait to see what you are doing!

take care,
Dawn

Hi Kim,
Glad your test went well.
You sound very busy!! I love Anthropologie, it is quite pricey though.
It's a fun store. They have wonderful sales a couple of times a year. That is when I shop there.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving,
Rosemary

Hey Kim,
The condo and view look wonderful. I have never seen Lake Michigan except from downtown Chicago. It looks so great from your view--the beach seems so neat and uncluttered. Certainly a more peaceful looking location than where I've been on the Lake.
So glad the test results you have received so far are good ones--still got ya in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope you have a great TGiving, too, Kim. Will you be cooking the feast? I will be--our little gathering will be small but wonderful. Blessings, Dana

Love,
Kim
