Back on track

Last Friday, my girls and I went to a live taping of a local TV show. Since this was their first live show, they were giving away prizes. The grand prize was a trip to Disneyland and guess who won? Yep, that's right. ME! A trip for four to Disneyland. Not bad for a Friday the 13th, huh?
Here are my two girls with the hosts of the show:

This show is sort of a talk show. They do crafts, cooking, health and family issues, etc.

Saturday, I published my very first pattern for sale. This is my rendition of American Girl's Sea Breeze outfit but from what I have been told, the AG version is way too tight on the dolls.
You can purchase it by clicking on the All Dolled Up logo on the left then open the tab called Patterns. I hope to be able to make about 1 or 2 patterns for sale each month.

My latest creation:


This is my version of Scarlet O'Hara's BBQ dress. I couldn't find a green floral print so I went with blue. I need to make a hat and maybe add a few bows here and there on the lace. Next project, I have a doll size wedding dress to create. A customer wants one like the dress in Phantom of the Opera.

Sunday, the pain from my pleurisy flared up again. I'm not doing anything strenuous and I'm not coughing much either but the pain is getting worse every day. I called the doctor and went in today. He thought I could be my gall bladder but since the pain is there constantly and I'm not nauseous and it isn't aggravated by anything I eat, he thinks it's possible that I cracked a rib after all. They took x-rays when I went to the ER and nothing showed up but the doc said that sometimes it may take a couple of weeks for a cracked rib to show up. How could I have cracked a rib? I felt good all last week except for when I stretched to reach for something. I went and had more x-rays done and I'm now waiting for the results. The doc gave me some Loretab but they don't help.

Until next time...
