Still not feeling great. The Doctor believes I have an infection in the deep stitches in my face and has prescribed antibiotics. So I hope that make me feel like a new person and SOON. She said she would hate to go back into my face to retrieve those deep stitches.
This is one of the prettiest Maple trees on the way to Detroit Lakes. I have stopped many times to take a photo...it looked just about the same yesterday...although this photo is from 2009.

It froze the other night and the high yesterday was 52F or 12C eh.
I have some swelling at the surgical site on my face. The Dr said to use ice once in a while and Benadryl...well I fell asleep with ice on my face. Good thing the ice had a towel covering it! I woke up shivering and haven't warmed up since. Needless to say I am not feeling terrific as my body is fighting off whatever this is.
I will return to the Doctor on Wednesday if there is no improvement.

There is a great pattern for a number of scrubbies at Yarnspirations. Niece Katie first shared the pattern with me a number of years ago. I have a small workbag with balls of scrubby yarn...Red Heart or Hobby Lobby brand they are all good. There are many different types of yarns to use. I use a 4mm crochet hook just because I like the feel of that size hook and I have several Tulip Crochet hooks that size.
I like scrubbies that are a bit larger so I usually do four rounds instead of three as the pattern suggests.
It is an easy to carry with you project easily worked on in the car or waiting at some appointment.
I do make them to sell in a craft shop but I give many of them away.
Personally I use them all the time much like a dish rag...they dry out quickly and are easily washed with other kitchen towels...or replaced.

The leaves are changing fast now. It has cooled off significantly. The high yesterday was 51F or 11C.
I do not sew tiny pieces of material together to make quilts. My Mother was a quilter and many of my cousins are and my sister in law is.
We gathered on the weekend of my Mother's first birthday in heaven. Last year Mom quilted with the gals on her birthday weekend.
Cousin Wilma's quilt pieces.
Cousin Geraldine's quilt pieces.
My sister in law (my baby brothers bride) was putting together a quilt that she and my Mom started together.
Everyone made some progress on their projects...my cousin Art's wife Bonnie was cross stitching, cousin LeAnn was playing with watercolor on cards and cousin Cora was doing some embroidery.
We had more good food for lunch and supper and great conversations:)
