A tangled canvas

A tangled scanvas I drew long before surgery with markers, sharpies. I decided to work on it again. Photos show progress. Lately it seems like I catorgize my life as before surgery and after surgery. I guess that was a turning point in my life and that's why I say that, pre surgery and post surgery. Just over look it. Focus on the art please.

And I forgot to mention . . .

I have a Facebook page for my art called C.S.Originals. That's where I put most everything. Check it it!

Been a Long Time. . .

It's been a long time since I posted here and so much has happened. I'm still quilting and designing. I've lost elderly pets and gained new ones to fill in the holes. Currently I have 10 cats, 2 dogs, all shelter rescues. The biggest thing of late is that back in September I was diagnosed with appendix cancer which is rare. I have what is called the mother of all surgeries, there were 5 procedures done. I didn't have to have chemo, yet, and don't plan to. Recovery from this horrid event took a full 3 months, I finally got my energy back and am actively quitting and designing again.  Anyway, today I have my first CT scan following the surgery. It's to see if any tumors remain. The appendix cancer causes mucinous tumors and the one I had was huge, nearly the size of a soccer ball, it had ruptured and spilled the mucin, a jelly like substance, into my gut. St surgery I lost 30 lbs in about a week,I've gained about 5 lbs back but don't want to gain anymore. I've r ad that follow us scans ar done every so often, 3 months, 6 months and a year in additoin I blood tests. My last tests were really good so I'm hoping for th same or better this time. 
 


 

I mentioned my pets are shelter rescues, for a few months, before the surgery and it's associated stuff, I volunteered at my local animal shelter. It was fun, I worked with cats. I've had cats for over 40 years so I know them well. I'd like to get back to volunteering with them again, once spring hits and I can get there again.Here's my lat at projects, a kimono ( front, back, sleeves) and a small quiet.
