So I went and bought a king bed. Yep, I know, why do I need a new bed? Well, simply because I bought my bed used.... gross I know but I was poor!! Secondly, it was old old old and made noise every time I moved. Third, because I knew I was going to have surgery and be confounded to my bed for a time. I however, did not take into account that I would be in it for a week straight! So after watching two tv series (Switched at Birth.... I LOVE that show, for some reason I feel like I connect to it because I'm a twin, but it has absolutely NOTHING to do with being a twin... strange I know!) and grading papers, I decided that I can't stay at home any longer and I need to do something. I saw this on pinterest a long time ago and have wanted to make them since. I kind of carefully drove to Walmart - I'm not supposed to be driving on my meds...- and bought some fabric and felt. I went home and drew a pattern for me to use and started sewing from my new king bed! Which I finally bought sheets for but still need to buy a frame and comforter! Back to the best thing of the day! I made FIVE of these cute little things and I'm going to make more tomorrow. I messed up and had to redo one twice because I was on the phone with Sabrina and apparently I can't multitask! But in my defense, I'm still on pain medication... I so love these owl, they are fun to make and totally cute. Here are the pictures.

Then the boy one in the middle! Worms cover him, I was really wanting to make some chevron ones, but I couldn't find chevron fabric anywhere!! I was sad sad sad but once I find it I'll be making more of these puppies!! Owls, they are owls. |

All FIVE of my cute little creations. |
So update on my surgery for those that care. I had four little incisions on my tummy, one in my belly button. My doctor basically told me after that I have stage 4 edometriosis, and that means I have to be on birth control constantly. It sucks bc I hate what that does to me but I'll have to learn to live with it. I got cauterized and dnc'ed. So I've been healing slowly to me but he said it was an extensive surgery and it could take 3 weeks. I've been out of school for 2 weeks now and I hope to go back on Monday and be able to stay all day. I better jet, I'm feeling pretty sickly right now but probably bc I need to sleep!! :)
LOVE the owls!!! And of course you are tired, is that time correct? 3:17am. Silly girl. Hope you recover soon! Lots of love!
ReplyDeleteThe owls are adorable--so cute! I'm so sorry you have had such a hard time with recovery. Poor thing!
ReplyDeleteAnd just a note, I know that with me once I've been on a bc pill for a couple of months I adjust to the hormones and they don't bother me anymore. Those first three or four months are stinky but then I don't even notice it anymore. Hopefully you'll be the same!
Well aren't you just becoming Miss Martha ;o) Love the owls, they are very adorable.
ReplyDeleteThey look awesome. aaawww a king bed what ever do you do in such a big thing.
