I had chemo #6 on Tuesday ... I'm now halfway through this round of chemo. As usual, chemo was uneventful. My WBC is down, and while I'm not to the point where I need to be in isolation, I do need to be very careful when out and about. Thankfully we're past the winter season so the likelihood of being exposed to nasty germs is reduced ... I've never been that much of a germaphobe, but I'm turning into one, thanks to cancer. Ha! After we finished up at Siteman, we headed back to the Illinois side of the river to do a little shopping for our master and guest room makeovers (more on that to follow) and grab some lunch.
Wednesday I finally bit the bullet and cleaned out/organized the closet in the master bedroom. It was long overdue, and I have to admit that seeing it decluttered and organized makes me smile. We watched the Blues wrap up their 2015-2016 season in disappointing fashion. :-( I might feel less disappointed if my Cardinals were playing better.
I spent Thursday pressing the bedskirts and curtains and with DH's help, I set up the master and guest room.
The quilt I'm currently working on will go on the wall above our bed. And this is on another wall.
My sister sent me this ... just because. I love it! And it's perfect as the goal of the aforementioned makeovers is to give our house more of a beachy feel.
Friday I finally got back into the sewing room and was able to get a couple more blocks finished.
Thankfully I have everything caught up so I can spend this holiday weekend in the sewing room ... after I go get my weekly blood draw. I normally get the draw on Monday before chemo on Tuesday, but the lab is closed on Monday for the holiday. So Saturday it is.
Wishing you all a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
Kathy
hope you stay infection free - love the "blue" room and that sand dollar! love it I try to save everyone that I find if it is in half way decent shape although we do not go to the coast often
ReplyDeleteI love your blocks! And that picture of the sand dollar is wonderful! Glad to hear you are n the downhill side of the chemo. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteBlue is my favorite color, so naturally I love all this. Enjoy your sewing day!
ReplyDeleteYour blue room looks so cool and inviting. Enjoy the weekend, hot and humid here so I'm spending afternoon's cutting hundreds of squares and triangles for the next big quilt. So glad you're now heading into the home-stretch with this round of chemo.
ReplyDeleteI love how beach your master looks-makes me think of Hilton Head. Love how your blocks are coming together. I'm working on tacking down the binding and hope to have it finished by Monday. You'll be the first I send a pic to. It's raining here now-I'm so ready for warm weather. Sending you lots of love dear one.

You definitely have a beach theme going on! Lovely bedroom! Love that sand dollar art! Your blocks are looking beautiful. So pleased to hear how the chemo is going. Yay you!
ReplyDeleteThe blues are really looking good all through your place!
ReplyDeleteYou have really been busy! Hope you have a relaxing weekend. I love when closets are cleaned - I just don't like doing it! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteLove the wall hanging you are making for your bedroom... and LOVE that bedroom shot and the cool shell painting your sister sent you.. very beachy for sure!! Enjoy your makeovers and keep up your germophobic tendencies for now... soon you can relax.. when all the chemo is done! :) I pray for you daily friend! Kathi
ReplyDeleteDefinitely achieving the beachy theme. Lovely room!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the closing thought.
Beautiful! Makes me want to add some beachy decor to my house. So glad you are halfway through this round. Take good care of yourself, as I know you are. Don't feel bad, our Reds aren't doing very well either this year.
ReplyDeleteBe careful when you're out & about: I've heard of 2 flu cases within the past couple of weeks. (Strange, but true!) The room looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to hear that life is good and you continue to have the energy to enjoy the things you love.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the beachy look to your room, so pretty. Glad you are half way through your treatments and just so glad you seem to be handling them so well. Blessings abundant my friend!
ReplyDeleteYou are being energetic and productive. I have been reorganizing a closet and it is a chore. It's a perfect time of year to design and decorate a beach and/or coastal theme. Your bedroom looks nice and relaxing. A finished quilt block here and there adds up.
ReplyDeleteGood morning! I LOVE a "beachy" decor, and yours is a really nice one. I love both the quilt and the sand dollar pic. It's always a good feel to get a closet cleaned and organized....I need to do that in a couple places here. I have FINALLY finished Melody's quilt top and plan on getting it to the quilters tomorrow...it took me much longer then planned, lol, but I am happy with it. So glad the chemo continues to go well, and I know your being extra careful, but I will pray specifically that God surrounds you with His protection when you are out and about. Hope you have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteCan I come live in the guest room at your house Kathy? LOVE those blues and the beachy feel to your decorating and stitching. Hope you had a lovely, stitchy weekend :*)
ReplyDeleteI have too many of those long overdue closets!! The guestroom looks so inviting and pretty. Is the blue quilt going to go in that room? It would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteStay well and avoid those germs.
Congratulations on your clean closet. I have two that are overdue for a good sorting and cleaning. One of these days....
ReplyDeleteYour bedroom is beautiful. I'm not a fan of most blues (sometimes a depressing color) but the ones you've chosen are bright and beautiful, both in your quilt and in your bedroom. And I love the sand dollar your sister sent. What a great way to frame it.
I hope you can stay away from (or keep at bay) whatever spring and summer germs might be lurking about and stay healthy.
Blessings to you.

I am glad you seem to be tolerating the chemo okay. Please be careful, it is okay to be a little germophobic! I am loving your kalidescope quilt. Your bedroom definitely has a beachy feel! Very pretty.
