Head shoulders knees and toes

Happy Sunday all! Last week I did in fact have my gallbladder taken out. It has been an interesting experience. I have learned a great deal over the past week. I would like to share some of those with you today:
1. My family and friends and the bee's knees- To everyone one who brought in meals, called, sent messages, sat with me while the hubs was at work (especially my mom- she's always been one of my heros and this week you have gone way above the call of duty-your the best mom!), said prayers and good thoughts, and just showed some love-Thank you!
2. You use your abs for just about everything- I have had a couple of other surgeries that required some incisions in my midsection and it never ceases to amaze me just how much those tiny incisions can hurt when you try walking, sneezing, coughing, sitting up, sitting down, and so forth.
3. Things can always get worse- On top of having my gallbladder out this week, I developed a sinus infection. And my hubs has had to work all week. I know, way to much fun.
4. Things can always get better- Last night the hubs took my on a cute mini date (I still get really tired really quickly) and my mom has brought me a fresh Dr Pepper almost every day. Plus I found Season 2 of I Love Lucy.  All in all, it's been a pretty good week.
5. Just because you want to do a thousand things (such as crafting) while you are recovering, doesn't mean you actually have the energy to do so- I really wanted to do a whole plethora of crafts this week. In my mind it seemed pretty feasible. That idea lasted until I woke up from surgery. But I have done a few things and have a few more in the process. Here is my favorite one. Sorry there isn't really a before shot or a great tutorial- I blame the pain pills.

At work, I sit next to the lovely gal who has one of the cutest babies I have ever seen. So when I was up at the outlets a couple weeks back and found this darling white baby hat for a dollar, I knew I could make this little boy hat into something as cute as her baby girl. I can't take credit for the flower design-  I totally used a tutorial from one of my favorite blogs (I can't seem to remember which one though... again, I blame the pain pills). I made the leaves of the flower from burlap and with the assistance of my handy-dandy glue gun, put this all together. I can't wait to see this on her cute little head!

Well folks, I'm pretty much exhausted and I think that it's time that I go and take a nap. Thank you for dropping by and have a fantastic week!
