May 2005Monthly Archives

I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve purchased my own domain, so my cross stitching site will soon be moving. I hope to have the new site up and running later this week. My blog will stay at this same URL, however.

Here is the new URL:

OMG! I am SO happy right now! All of my test results came back negative, so I do NOT have leukemia or hemophilia! This is such a HUGE relief! I’m sure I’ll have more to say about this later, but for now, I’m too giddy to write about it.

Ok, so I have no idea how long my links have been screwed up, but they’re fixed now. All of my bulletin board links were for some reason pointing to the TWBB board rather than their own respective board URL. I also added in a couple of others while I was at it, just for good measure. :-)

Well, as if I didn’t have enough other crap going on in my life, I’m now dealing with more medical concerns. I went to the doctor today because I’ve been having some recurring problems with nosebleeds and inexplicable bruising. So, as of right now, I’m on pins and needles awaiting the results of blood tests which should be available on Thursday. The doctor’s biggest concern is leukemia. I’m hoping it’s something FAR less serious, but it’s a bit unsettling to know that’s the focus of the tests.

On the upside, I did get in a bit of stitching time in as I sat in the waiting room at the doctor’s office. Another woman was there with her 2 sons and we began talking stitching as she was also a cross-stitcher and quilter. Of course, the more we talked, the less I stitched. LOL
