I used <a href="http://allsorts.typepad.com/allsorts/2006/10/crazy_about_qui.html">this</a> pattern from the <a href="http://allsorts.typepad.com/allsorts/">allsorts</a> blog. There was supposed to be nine coasters, but one of my fabrics was not cotton (stupid Wal-mart fabric) and it got messed up after the first cut, so I just pulled it out and continued on.

We have been very busy here at the Southwell homestead as of late. Dwight, has had us lots of landscape business,so I've spent the better part of the last two weeks at my in-laws helping out with all the work {which I love doing, don't take that as a complaint ,it's just a description.} And on Sunday, Dwight came to help me pick up our new-to-us beekeeping equipment! So Justin and I have been tying to figure out what else we need to start and cleaning up the hives we have. I think we got it all figured out and ordered today.{I really hope so because the bee's have been ordered, too!} We are gonna start with two hives in our yard so we can learn our self on the subject, but Justin would eventually like to make it another service of lavenders' blue, by setting our hives up in peoples yards as a pollination service, then we would take care of the hive(s) and your flowers will be the bomb:) and when we harvest the hive you get some of the honey for free. We have not even gotten our hives set up ,heck I've only had the stuff for a week!, and we already have people asking us about it. {Just goes to prove how blessed we are.} Here's to a good thing!(i really hope!)<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXhroAj4GVG2gnjSyDFbvr1kPQPybSJFsNTcTzqI5QdJOm3JPDLRdaBonpY7sQYvCesEOp8Kf1bSpqwdfRnrc09mRU3WkdR36F4HrXOjPGS-AJ8tQeq8dwhz3SzCWdQKnprmfuag/s1600-h/blog+and+kits+107.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXhroAj4GVG2gnjSyDFbvr1kPQPybSJFsNTcTzqI5QdJOm3JPDLRdaBonpY7sQYvCesEOp8Kf1bSpqwdfRnrc09mRU3WkdR36F4HrXOjPGS-AJ8tQeq8dwhz3SzCWdQKnprmfuag/s400/blog+and+kits+107.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185084578678718770" border="0" /></a>Oh here's a new picture of my hand. Sorry it's so blurry I wanted to retake it but my digi-cam keeps wanting to die on me. I'm afraid it's time for a new one, but it's gonna have to wait awhile. I'm looking nice and pink these days just a little scabbed bit left now. My index finger is still a bit stiff, but I'm working on that. I'm back to doing most things with this hand but some things are still awkward, like my writing is really messy right now and I'm still not hand sewing very well, oh and my grip is weak and a bit awkward with my right hand (mostly because I can't bend my index finger all the way.)<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBxX6nlyjo9jE5c0bwa9p3XjDnoVLl0d1To7DOa1ha9rbSUxl59P52TZrbVNw4SpInBU2g2ZIP33QJA-bD4CJJBgMBZvkaCy1Ru-gYAHtAMOe-cVm_hvZgbTXaatKgIpOJ3YTpBA/s1600-h/blog+and+kits+106.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBxX6nlyjo9jE5c0bwa9p3XjDnoVLl0d1To7DOa1ha9rbSUxl59P52TZrbVNw4SpInBU2g2ZIP33QJA-bD4CJJBgMBZvkaCy1Ru-gYAHtAMOe-cVm_hvZgbTXaatKgIpOJ3YTpBA/s400/blog+and+kits+106.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185084570088784162" border="0" /></a>Oh!

He always has my back no matter how much of an idiot I am sometimes.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">He always surprises me, when I'm sure I've really messed up, he stays by me.<br />My mom was a single parent so I never saw that kind of love and forgiveness between a husband and wife when I was growing up, so for him to just give me that kind of love ....well it makes me cry......a happy cry , but the tears roll down just the same.<br />He is so amazing to me and it makes me love him more.<br />He makes me want to be stronger and smarter and better just so I can show him his love is not wasted on me. My heart beats faster when he's around, still!, even after 5 years together.<br />so this post is for you babe!

In the end that's what got me................ I had started to heat some oil, because I wanted to make sweet potato fries with dinner and while it was heating up I went to look on the Internet and had got my self wrapped up in reading the lovely <a href="http://dottieangel.blogspot.com/">tiff's</a></span></span> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">blog and her story of <a href="http://dottieangel.blogspot.com/2008/03/me-my-slip-and-gladys.htmlhttp://">Gladys</a> coming to stay. Once I was done, I went back to my oil and saw that it had just started to smoke. Justin told me when that happens I need to take it off the burner for a minute to let it cool down, which I immediately went to do, but I forgot to do one other thing he told me to do first, have a plan on where to put it! So I'm standing there with a pan of hot oil and starting to panic on where to put it down because all the burners are full (one had the dogs dinner cooking, one had the tea kettle set on it, and one was to hard to reach and then there was the one I had just pulled the pan off of) and I didn't want to mess up the counters. In my fine little frenzy for a place to put my very hot pan , I must have tipped it back and got hot oil all over my index finger , thump, and the palm of my right hand which then made me drop the hot pan of oil, which then splashed me on my right leg (Winnie and I now have matching spots, needless to say) and caught my kitchen rugs on fire . So instead of worrying about my hand like I needed to, I had to worry about my house first and make sure all flames where out before I could get to the sink and run it under cold water which in turn made the burns worse than they had to be.<br /> I saw a doctor yesterday and luckily all burns are second and first degree. My mother-in-law was worried that I may have some full thickness burns since fingers are so close to the bone and Justin was worried I may need skin graphs.<br />The doctor gave me a prescription for <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Silvadene</span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">and told me to keep it wrapped for the next two weeks, watching for infection this week especially.(if a burn gets infected you run the risk of getting septic blood, septic blood can kill you.)</span></span> On the plus side all my skin ,while cooked well done, is still in tack with no open areas and my blister's are growing daily (as gross as that sounds it's a good thing to have blisters on burns, the fluid inside is your white blood cells at work). The motion in my right hand is quite a bit restricted right now and makes a lot of everyday things much harder for me(e.i.:going to the bathroom,changing my clothes,putting my hair up)and some things are simply out of the question until my hand is healed(e.i.:washing the dishes,sewing,writing), but I'm managing with a little help here and there from Justin. And the last two mornings I've woke up feeling a little ill to my stomach,which Justin said is normal. He gives me a glass of ice water in the morning and that seems to clear it right up.<br />Justin told me yesterday, he feels bad because he thinks it's his fault for not teaching me better in the kitchen. I told him he should not at all. It's mine for letting my self panic even for that one second. I'm smarter than this most of the time, but sometimes it seems my brain floats away from me and I have very bad things happen to me like this. While I hope to grow out of this "accident prone" behavior some day , it has stuck with me for the last 23year ,and I fear it may be here to stay. My saving grace is my family and the care and support they give me when ever I do have these things happen and my inner peace with the fact that I'm the one that did it to myself and I've never let a bad thing happen twice (lesson learned).<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">To My Mom:</span> I did not mean to scare you this afternoon with my email. I really, really am OK. I've even figured out how to wash the dishes(rubber gloves,duh!, over my bandages) since talking to you this afternoon, and I've already thought of a few other ways the rubber gloves can improve my Independence during my temporary handicap. Remember mother, I am your 25 year old daughter that still needs your hand when I cross the road, due to my "head in the clouds" syndrome, but I am also <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">resilient</span> and resourceful just like you. These things, they happen to me, all I can do is not freak out when the worst happens so I don't die. It hurt more than iodine and I didn't even cry. You are the one person I worried the most about telling because, well your my mom and you worry even when I tell you not to. <br /><br />xoxo<br />heather<br /></span></span>Heather Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03775171152557757889noreply@blogger.com1
