Double Lung Transplant

Ok, so here is the story about my friend Sherri.  Please check out her site http://cherishedair.com/.  I have been working with Sherri for about a dozen years. She started out with a cough and we thought she had bronchitis.  She went to the dr. and eventually found out that she had a rare disease called LAMS.  This is a disease that happens to women of child bearing age.  Over 2 years ago Sherri was diagonsed with LAMS disease.   She has been living in Seattle near the U of W for about 6 months.  She  has been very ill and has made many trips to ER.   This week Sherri received the call and she went into surgey yesterday, April 14, 2011.  We have been receiving updates from the family and she is breathing on her own.  Please pray for her, affirm, whatever it takes, burn candles, etc. for her.  She needs all the support that she can get.  Also a family has lost a loved one in order for Sherri to live.  Please keep  them in your thoughts as well.  Thank you for your care and concern.

DIY Bathroom Remodel

I just have to share my new bathroom with you.  We have a few finishing touches to complete, but it's nearly done and I have moved back in.  I just couldn't bare to share the old before pictures with you as the avocado green was so bad and they would not clean up anymore after 35 years of use so you will have to settle for the after pictures.

 Home Depot got most of our money

This project started out to be a DIY project.  My husband did all the demolition work and put the new white tub and sink in and painted the ceiling and walls.  Then my brother-in-law came and did all the tile work, flooring, formica and so forth.  It saved us alot of money by doing part of the work ourselves and we were happy to pay BIL for his part.   Thanks for taking a look and now maybe I can get back to etsy. 

Spokane Orchid Society Show and Sale

Ok, so I haven't posted any pictures of my DIY bathroom remodel project (because it isn't quite done) and I haven't listed the Amy Butler Quilt on etsy yet, but I'm getting close so I chose to blog about something else that I love.


This week has been a busy one.  My mom had a dr's appointment on Thursday and we waited and waited for the dr. and it seemed like we were there forever.  Then the dr. wanted to know why mom's blood pressure was high.  dah   Well after that I thought I would do something real nice for her - so today we headed to Spokane, Wa for the Spokane Orchid Society Show and Sale.   Look at this beauty.

Mom and I love flowers and we keep trying to grow and bloom orchids.  We are seeing more success, but they can be difficult.  I don't want to scare anyone off, as they are so much fun and just like babies, you have to keep an eye on them and take care of them, but don't water them too much or they will die.   Here's are a few more pictures.

Have a nice Sunday - see you soon.  DeAnna - fabricdesigns
