Blogtober; two for one 13 &14

 



I apologize for not writing yesterday but absolutely nothing of interest happened yesterday. I had physical therapy in the morning and then went to Costco after that in the afternoon. Came home, took a nap, cook dinner and went to bed early. That was pretty much my day yesterday so I didn’t feel like writing about that. But today was a whole different day.

Early this morning I had an appointment with another type a therapist that was going to check my right leg. I have been having some swelling in my whole leg. The physical therapist I've been going to said it was edema and that I needed to have it checked out. So that’s what I did this morning. Yes I do have a lymphedema and have a 7% increase in size between my right and my left leg, which is not too bad.

The course of action is to wear compression leggings and also do some form of massage to help get the fluid back up. So that’s all good.

  Since I got home at a decent time,  I was able to do some cleaning and then work on a couple projects.

I layered the Halloween table runner that I’m going to give to my youngest daughter, which I will finish tomorrow. 

As you can tell I had a lot of help with it today. Hopefully I won’t have as much help tomorrow. 



Then I cut out some more masks for my daughter to give her this weekend when I see her. My thoughts are is too finish this in the morning and then I will leave later that afternoon.

And since it rained today, it's a soup day. 


Tonight I made Mini Turkey Ball Vegetable Soup that came off of the website Skinnytaste. 





I have liked her recipes so far. Decided I would just go ahead and order a couple of her cookbooks.

 If I can get books used, that is what I do. Was able to get these two books as a used book.

The beginning of this month I had picked out six soup recipes from her website that I’m gonna try this month and we’ve tried two so far. Both of them have been pretty yummy. Usually will print off the recipe because I find it easier to follow than using my iPad in the kitchen. And if I really like a particular chef I will go ahead and purchase the book because I’m one of those people that really like a book. But I try not to get too many cookbooks, I feel too many can become a waste of money.

Till tomorrow

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
