Today was the most beautiful day ever! Sunny, warm, no bugs! The horses were quiet but willing for their first ride of the season. We went slowly so they wouldn't get sweaty because they have not completely shed out yet. Just walk/trot in the arena to warm them up...over polls, etc. Nothing very strenuous. Then out the gate, down the dirt road, through the dry part of the woods past the pond and into the upper part of the field where it isn't too wet.</div>

It was lovely. I hope we can ride again tomorrow because the rest of my week is a little crazy. Drs. appointments for me as well as a quick trip to Lake Placid with a friend on Wednesday, shots and teeth for the horses on Thursday. Then I am off to oncology camp down by Lake George for the weekend! And my youngest sister is joining me there because she had a melanoma taken out of her arm. Camp Bravehearts is held 4 times a year though I only go to the April/May one. Such a supportive group of women and the staff is all volunteers. I hadn't been in several years because I considered myself healed and wanted to have someone new go in my place since they only take a certain number of women. But after the lung cancer surgery I am in need of a little R & R. </div>

Something light and ethereal! Ahhhh...I am happy with this delicate confection! Took it off yesterday and feeling refreshed and ready to tackle weaving towels again. It is sometimes hard to balance designing and doing what I want to do with selling. Both are gratifying but sometimes the repetitive nature of weaving gets tiring and I have to knit or make triangle scarves! It is lovely work where you get to touch and feel every strand of yarn...the weight, the texture...</div>

So, for a change of pace! Pulled lots of my un-dyed natural thread (ok I added just a tiny bit of color)...and I'm happy with this! Have to sometimes refresh my eyes for a while when I get saturated with color. </div>

YAY! I actually made another towel warp! Tomorrow I will wind bobbins and start weaving. I would like to have complete sets of towels all ready to go in early July for a lovely craft/music festival up by the St. Lawrence River. The festival attracts Canadians as well (hopefully they can get into the country without any hassle). In between weaving the towels I will be weaving scarves and redoing my booth as well. So I am encouraged and have cut down on my pain medication as well.</div>

I have chosen the next colors for towels but haven't had the energy to actually make the warp. Plus I only have a couple of days to do my NY sales tax. And I haven't even found the form! Maybe today...<br />

The tumor was small and she took out the entire upper right lobe with robotic assisted surgery. 5 stab wounds right side and back. All lymph nodes tested negative as well. Now to recover. Breathing is a little affected but what is worse is nerve pain. However they are giving me plenty of pain medication round the clock. I even have to set my phone alarm to take meds in the night. I'll be glad when I am healed.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile I am still loading photos from before surgery!<br />

Took a fun painting class with my riding instructor, Nancey, and her daughter, Emma...Took us two days and gallons (kidding) of paint over in Nancey's studio. Taught by another dear friend, Melanie of Cat House Designs. We stenciled a butterfly, drew squiggly lines, and used up all her paint. </div>

Last May I had an aortic valve replacement. And breathing complications with fluid filling the pleural cavity. And an allergic reaction to one of the medications given in the hospital. And several hospital stays, etc. Finally, my lovely pulmonologist gave me steroids to help my appetite and energy levels. My middle son, Alex, married his Victoria in July. Adam, Alicia and Ava came to the farm a week before the wedding. Some of my siblings and I had rented a camp on Saranac Lake for after the wedding and I was able to enjoy all of it! And I made the flower girls fairy crowns out of wire and nail polish.<br />

Went to cardio rehab all fall finishing up near Christmas but in January they found that a spot on my lung is growing and February 16 I am back down to Memorial Sloan Kettering for surgery to remove it. Hospital stay is approximately 5 days and I have no idea how this recovery is going to play out.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I had been starting to weave some. Wove some towels for gifts...another 13 towels for a customer...a rainbow scarf...<br />

I don't remember a thing. Feeling very groggy for a day and quiet as well. Not much appetite. That was Monday. Tuesday night I got the shakes woke Gary around 10:30 and we decided to go to the ER. By the time I got there the heater in the car had stopped the shaking but I was nauseous. So turns out I had a fever. Also turns out that when two <strike>middle aged</strike> old people don't have their glasses on reading a thermometer is purely guesswork. Heart enzymes elevated, white blood count normal. Eventually (like at 5am) they decided that I did not have a heart attack, did not have an infection (though they are growing cultures still), but instead had a reaction to the invasion. Makes sense but was something we were not prepared for. So slept all day yesterday as well as a good night sleep last night. I feel good. All my arteries are good. Just the valve is bad...soooo off to talk to a surgeon next week in Burlington, VT, though I don't think that is where we will go for surgery. We'll see.<br />

Just wanted to get that out there. But I have been having some heart issues. Like I always feel like I'm slogging through mud. Tired when I wake up (thought it was old age). Can't breathe very well when I climb stairs, or walk with Hannah uphill. So last May had an echo and again in November which showed chamber pressure changes in those 6 months and he said I needed an aortic valve replacement. I was supposed to have a treadmill thing in November according to a cardiologist over in Burlington but I didn't because I <strike>was enjoying living in denial</strike> don't like driving over there in the winter. So I finally called them and asked if I could have it here and they set it up. So I showed up with my sneakers and they hooked me up and out from behind the curtain came a local cardiologist who wouldn't let me do it. Said it was ridiculous because I already had symptoms and he didn't want me to drop dead on him (or on the treadmill) and that I needed to have a cardiac catheter to see if there is blockage which they would have to fix at the same time as the aortic valve. Sooooo that is what is happening on Monday. <br />
<br />
OK enough of that...Fairyland is growing! I have been keeping warm in the kitchen and staying creatively busy! Look! Little houses from Walmart re-worked...I got sand and shale from a friend in Boston...acorns for roofing from a friend along with stone from a fishtank...tile from our local tile store...some wooden fairies from a fb friend...All the stone walls are moveable and the houses can be put inside or out. AND I have the more rustic houses that I actually made and covered in bark put up in the woods but not photographed yet...Can't wait for my granddaughter to visit!!<br />

</div>
Didn't feel like weaving though I wound on a towel warp. Instead I think Spring has gotten to me and I want to make a little fairy village in the woods for when Ava comes up for the first time in July. She will be almost 4 then and I wanted to make something magical for our walks. This was the first one and it is a<strike> little</strike> clunky...I made a simple structure with scrap wood snitched from the burn pile. Then Sandy (who rides with me and takes care of the barn every morning) and I went up to the woods and collected stuff. We went back up today and collected even more stuff including moss and twigs which I added to the original. <br />

And finally my Rainbow Baby Blanket...the full size one. All washed, dried, pressed and hemmed. There will be three of these. One is already spoken for and I think the second one is as well. So the last one will go on Etsy when I finish weaving it. They are about 39 inches by 37 inches and can also work as a table cloth...or at least a square on the table. 100% cotton and totally washable.</div>

Just beginning to wind on the warp for three baby blankets. My loom is 40" so that determines the width and I am hoping to end up around 37 x 37 when washed and dried. The darkness of winter demands a rainbow of cotton color!</div>

Adam and Alicia got married when I was finishing up chemo. Faith and I went on a train trip across the US to Whidby Island to see an amazing friend from my high school class. My sister Meg and her girlfriend, Darlene, Noah and I drove across the country to Colorado to see two of my brothers the following year. Noah and Alex both graduated from college. Ava was born and is now 3 1/2. My Mom died at almost 92. Both boys have moved out and into their own apartments...one in Mystic, CT and the other in Brooklyn, NY. Along the way I lost several very, very special friends including my heart horse, Dommie...and my little pancreatic support group, Chris and Cindy...my Braveheart (oncology camp) friends Jude and more recently, Rebecca. <br />

Gary and I took a trip to Florence, Italy and another to Maui to see Adam, Alicia and Ava. I have two new horses. We had to put down my little 14-year-old Obie and my 19-year-old Lucy kitty this year. I have a new puppy, Hannah. We were adopted by an outdoor barn kitty, Sammie. <br />

They gave me two years after the Whipple. That's the average. 3% make it more than 5 years. I just remember we were so blindsided. I was so sick. It took a couple of years to recover. Though recovered is a relative term.<br />
<br />
I am happy with my life. I am proud of the men my boys have become. My Alex is getting married this coming summer to a girl he has know his whole life. I am still weaving and creating and riding and playing. My Hannah is a wonderful companion during the day and gets me out for a walk every day as well. <br />
<br />
So. Here's to 6 more...or 66 more! I'll take what I can get!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile I did a couple of samples for a baby blanket...My idea is to have big blocks about 5 inches each...9 of them and weave them square with the same colors. These blocks are 1 1/4 inches but I thought it would give my customer an idea of what it will be like. And now that I have taken these two off the loom I am thinking these make good doll blankets!<br />

Love starting over. Love letting go of old stuff. Making resolutions even when I know I won't keep them. I love thinking that I might. I might be nicer, might lose 10 pounds, might lift weights, might write letters, might, might...so many possibilities. New beginnings. <br />
<br />
Right now I am looking out at snow falling. It is not too cold and so beautiful. My Alex is still here on vacation and took Hannah out to play earlier. Noah and Sofia were here for Christmas and her step dad came up in his plane (!) and flew them back to NYC. I never did bake cookies...see? Starting on that 10 pounds already! The gifts given to me were beautiful and thoughtful. I am ready to begin the new year. <br />
<br />
Some highlights from Christmas...<br />

Well...I'm done. 18 potholders for a local customer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And she wanted them for just after Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And she told me this two weeks before Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And they take about an hour to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OK. Good thing I love making</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
potholders! Actually it is kind of</div>

relaxing to work at the counter</div>

while visiting with someone and</div>

having coffee.</div>

did I mention that I am not eating</div>

I have resisted. I am fighting my primary</div>

<br />
A rainbow warp! Makes me very happy! I might get time to actually dress the loom but even if I don't I love looking at this.<br />

All done with the second batch of towels for my friend, Annie! These are very much like the first batch but I switched out the pink for orange and put in a light green and added a turquoise as well. Similar stripes. Wove most of these with white 8/2 cotton. And a couple with light green, a couple with purple, and one with light blue. We'll see which ones she picks. Annie wants 12 of them...and the others are sold as well.</div>

Oh and inbetween I sometimes take a nap. Today I just finished the towels but haven't taken them off the loom yet. I think I will wait until after Thanksgiving. 10 people coming including two of my sons! Still have to make the beds up, bake a pie, finish a sweet potato casserole, grind up some local cranberries with oranges for the big dinner, clean up some...<br />
<br />
But first I have to share the photos from class. They all did an amazing job and finished by 4pm! I think a couple of the women were tired but really the results were beautiful! Next time I will insist people sit down to weave some!<br />

Normally I weave warp dominant scarves and shawls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But lately I have needed some pattern and so I </div>

put on some white rayon...half a 6-ply and half</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a lovely rayon boucle to satisfy my lust for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
texture! Then...ahhhh...there are just so many</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
colors in this world. I am in love! </div>
