Elevated Running - sounds like a name for a quilt!

Al part of my "leap into health" program, I had a calcium channel scan last week.  It is to determine if there are any blockages in the vessels and veins around the heart,  The Cardio doc called me personally.

Which is scary, because they never do that unless it is really.....really bad news, right?

But he said they I was 100% clear anything!  So that was good.  

In the genetic pool of Parental DNA I must have gotten my heart from my mother and my ability to store fat an from my father.  My mother was skinny skinny and had no heart issues.  My father tended to overweight with lots of heart and cholesterol issues.  I got his migraines, and lets hope I didn't get my mother's Alzheimer genes.

Today I have a treadmill stress test.  I am sure they will want me to run, which is dangerous for me since I have Meinuers Disease which makes me unstable.  Hence the fact that the lst time I ran, I fell and needed 2 knee surgeries.  

Elevated running is not in my future.


The other day I wanted to know if I could rust a piece of cotton batting.  Here are the results.  

I thought I had rusted two pieces, but it turns out I lonely rusted one.


So, Yes, it can be done.   And it give the fabric a lot of texture.  I loved the way the striations fall on the batting.  

And there is a new technique I want to try , but it may have to wait till I get back from Germany..


I was attempting to take some photos of the boys, but all I seem to get is noses.  

What, mom? looks.  




And I can say the Story Time Adventure was a good one. that we will repeat.  Frank took Sawyer to the library for a scheduled Story Time reading for kids his age.  He seemed to have a great time.















Yesterday, when his  dad came to get him, he was riding his tricycle, still going full steam.  Then we all came inside and relaxed before dinner.  He is surely a busy busy boy!
