fun.It started before Christmas, but this last week was the worst, as a result of the infection and pain. I have been on the laptop, read a lot of the magazines that I have and I am glad that I am feeling better, because I would have gone stir crazy. I don't seem to have much strength, so I have not been back to sewing, etc. I will be doing four siggies today, as they have been on the backburner since I was ill, and they really need to go out in the mail, but other than that, I will wait till next week for any really challenging, creative projects. I have to machine quilt my miniature, and then I have a Celtic wallhanging to complete. I got those lovely hand dyed fabrics to complete it, and it should be lovely.I have been researching the Cricut, and I will be getting the Cricut Expression ,and try to get the pink one. I found out that besides the various things that I can do with it concerning scrapbooking and paper crafting, I can cut applique pieces on it. If you iron Steam-A-Seam 2 on the back of fabric, It will cut the fabric with the designs that you put into the software. Since I love applique, how nice is that! I have been realizing that there are endless possibilities to this machine!
Thanks again for all your concern! It has been an ordeal, but I didn't lose my sense of humour and that is good. I am grateful that I am feeling so much better. Tomorrow, I see the doctor, and then hopefully, I can put it behind me.
Off to read a book! I do have to admit that I have rested a lot in the last few days....that is a good thing!

Oh Micki Sweetie...
Praise God for taking his precious hands and healing your little body. I have never had shingles, but my dear BIL and other friends that I know have, and they have told me it is so painful. I am so greatful that you are on the road to recovery. I will continue to keep you in my prayers sweetie. I have already written your name down in my prayer book that I read from each day.
I can't wait to see the Celtic piece finished. You know what a fan I am of quilting and I so love your work. What treasures you create.
Please try to have a beautiful day. Don't over do it now, if you get that Cricut, don't play yourself out with it. See ya soon sweetie. Country hugs and so much love...Sherry

I am glad to hear that you are recovering and that you are getting plenty of rest. Just don't rush into anything. I am sure people waiting for their siggies will understand. I do like the Celtic wallhanging though - no wonder you want to get started on that. Maggi

So glad you are starting to feel better Micki! Take it easy now and let Joe do the pampering.. Don't overdo things and only get back to it when you are feeling right on top again!
I am so relieved that you are doing better and hope that is the END of any shingles for you....forever.
Oh, you have been missed and so good to see you back on..Please, take care and don't get yourself down. Sometime when we do feel better we tend to overdo it..I am sure Joe will be there to squash that bug..
Hugs and well wishes

I'm so glad you feel better and that you took enough rest and are still taking it!
I hope you have some sun like we do. Blue skies and mild temperatures. Reminds me of Spring (O:
Glad some of the pain is gone. Now don't over do it and still get lots of rest. Take those vitamens.
Micki,
Glad to hear you are getting better, and that you are even thinking of sewing some SIGGIES today. That is a great sign. But can't wait for you to feel 100% again {hopefully soon}.
Keep me posted if you get the cricut and use it to cut fabric. I have one, but haven't been impressed with how it cuts fabric (not as advertised). Currently looking at the SLICE. I was able to talk with both Manufacturers at the CHA show and really lean toward the slice!

It's good to hear you're feeling a lot better :) Did you know you can get SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) software that allows you to cut any image and font on the Cricut?
Anne xx
Great news! Take it slow Micki.
I'm so glad your feeling better. I have a cricut and love it I'm hoping to get the SCAL program so I can use all the free fonts and stuff on line. I haven't use it for my quilting yet but hope to.
Holly

Glad you're on the mend.
Good on you Micki...keep taking it slowly, and have a restful weekend...Dzintra♥x
Glad you are feeling better. Have a great weekend!!
Oh Micki, nothing can keep you down! Don't overdo it -- you said you've had shingles before so you know how bad it can be afterwards. Please keep resting!
I'm so glad you're feeling better. Continue to get plenty of rest and build your strength!
I'm looking forward to seeing all the neat things you can do with the Cricut machine.
SO GLAD you are feeling better chick!
So glad to hear you are doing better. I don't have the cricut, but I have a similar cutter called a sizzix which I have used to do applique. It is nice to be able to cut the shapes with so much precision. I hope your recovery continues on track and you are back to your normal activities soon.
Welcome back to blogland. Glad to hear that you on the mend. Those multivitamins will help a lot so please take them (Joe, can you hear me? Make sure Micki takes them LOL!) Hugs to both Nat
I am so sorry to hear that you've been "under the weather". Shingles are nothing to take lightly. You are in my prayers and well wishes are winging your way from across the pond. Carline
Somehow this didn't show up in my list of blogs that have been updated. So I am late reading it.
So glad to hear you are feeling better. Just take it easy and don't get a relapse. Please!
I want to see that wall hanging when you get it done.
I do hope you get better soon. Take as much rest as you need otherwise you will have a relapse.
So glad you are on the mend! It has been a terrible ordeal for you and so horrible to go through. You are starting to think of your projects and that is a good sign! Hugs, Barbara
Glad to hear you're on the mend at last! Hope you feel better and peppier each day. Are you reading something fun I hope?
I am glad you are feeling somewhat better, it sounds like the process is painfully slow. Your new pink toy you are planning to order should cheer you up, it looks like fun! Blessings and a speedy recovery Micki.
So happy that you are feeling better Micki! Don't overdo it and go backwards though.
Oh goodness, I've missed your last two posts and didn't know how sick you've been. That's terrible! I hope you're on the mend, Micki. Take it easy and get lots of rest. We'll see you soon.
Catherine
Hello Micki, I sympathise with you....my Dad has had the Shingles since before Christmas and in terrible pain......glad you are recovering...a bath may help depending where the shingles are.....Hugs Lyn
Well I know someone who had shingles and it went on for months before the pain went away. I feel terrible for you!
So happy that you are feeling better. Have you never had chicken pox? The virus is so related, so it's hard to get. Yes it does run you down, so take vitamins and don't forget to up the Vitamin D to at least 2000 units a day.
Sorry you had the dreaded shingles. YUCK!
Glad you are on the mend. Smiles, Hugs and lots of good wishes.
Micki, I'm so glad the anti biotics have kicked in and you're feeling better. Just don't overdo it too quick, as we don't want you having a relapse or catching any other nasties while your immune system is low. Love the Cricut machine....sounds like fun, I love the Accucuts also....just no where to keep one let alone afford one! hee hee hee Can't wait to see what you make with your new baby when you get it. Hugs Naomi
O Mickie ,
I am so glad that you are getting better! I am so sorry that you had to go through this ordeal.
Looking forward to seeing your "candle" burning bright once again.
Hugs, Linda
Glad your feeling better at least it while the weather is not as good so being in the warm is not as bad as it is when it the summer & the sun is shining take care
Hugs Janice
Micki, I am so happy to know you are feeling better...... I am excited fro you to get the Cricut! I have heard it is fabulous!!!
Hugs,
Margaret B
Micki, glad you are feeling better. Enjoy that book!
So happy to know you´re feeling better. The new medicine against shingles are powerful and you´ll regain strength slowly but regularly and we´ll all be here hoping that you get over this completely.
This cricut toy must be quite something. I always say I was born in the wrong place!!!!!!!!!!! It may be possible to buy it through the web but what about technical assistance! I´ll have to move. Better late than ever!
The celtic quilt is beyond imagination. Gorgeous. Go for it! Using cricut or not.
Don't care what the doctor said.... Hope you keep right on resting!
Micki!
First of all, get well soon from those shingles! I had them, my husband had them as well, from STRESS! It was not good and I know what you must be going through. Thank you for taking the time to come to visit with me. How kind of you! Other than shingles, how is life in your stone cottage? ! Have fun, Anita
Micki,
Just now read that you haven't been well. I hope you get to feeling better soon! :)
That Cricut looks absolutely cool!
Hi Micki, so glad you are recovering and are back online. Take it slow so no relapse will occur. May God continue to heal your body so that you never have to deal with this again. Take good care of yourself and be sure to get plenty of rest.
I am so gald you are feeling better and I think you will really enjoy your cricut...they are fun! Melinda
