Yesterday was my lumpectomy. We arrived at the clinic and were assigned a number. Lucky 13! I say that in all sincerity. It is a very lucky number for me. This was just before they called me back.This was as they were taking me back to surgery.The procedure took a little over an hour and a half. It was outpatient. I got home and didn't have too much pain. They gave me some pain meds but

Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Heart Pillow from Tea Rose Home

Today marks my 3rd mastectomy anniversary. If you are interested you can read about it in my blog post after when I was diagnosed, the day of the mastectomy and the day I came home from the hospital.

I reflected on the past three years and the main thing that comes to my mind is that how grateful I am. I woke up this morning, got ready, went to church and later that day I was able to Facetime my sons who are both serving our church in Japan. I was able to cook and had dinner with my family ...

Survivors’ Guilt Part One, Reading, Stitching, and Gratitude from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There!

Happy Fourth of July to my readers in the United States!

However, this summer two acquaintances have passed from cancer. This naturally led me to dealing with Survivors' Guilt yet again. This time, I decided to face it head on and find some guidance and comfort in God's Word.

Leaving It All On The Table from From the Strawberry Patch...

I have started out the month by finishing up a couple of table toppers for fall. Both of these were done from charm squares. The first, shown left, is called "Split Square" and came straight from Country Threads' book: "Sew Charming". This was the small quilt that I hurriedly pieced together before the all-important block "trim down" stage.
