Also, I look outwardly well when in fact I do not feel well most of the time. I probably complain more that I should. My life has changed drastically from what it was. Just a year and a half ago I was working full time and keeping busy with my husband at such sports as downhill skiing, although the physical signs were there.
I have had to leave my job of a dozen years which I really enjoyed. I feel lonely at times and useless at others, especially when I have a hard time to even put a meal on the table.
For my regular readers this is why sometimes you'll see that I accomplish quite a bit and other times I am silent and may only have some little things to show.
I am very lucky to have my art to keep me going and inspire me even some days when it may be just the tiniest things that I do.
I am for example making a little project for Easter. You may have seen the little chicks that I did last week. I found these tiny crocheted flowers on one of my favorite blogs here and I thought they'd be just the thing to make into a garland along with the chicks. I've got 2 more chicks cut if I can get to them.
Another little project I am working on is this felted sewing kit. My green one was made by my friend Nicole. It contains needles, pins, thread, a thimble, scissors and many other useful sewing items. When I have any kind of project on the go, I need only grab it and I have everything I need. I am making the turquoise one as a gift from a kit that I also got from her. It occurred to me while I was taking pictures of the 2 projects laid out together, that the little crocheted flowers would be cute on the front of the sewing kit.

Holly, I am going thru the same disability process. Addison's, for some people, can be devastating on their sense of "normal" life. I just read a medical journal report that said Patients with Addison's going into disability follow a patient most closely with Cogestive Heart Failure. WOW. They are finding that Addison's patients, but primary and secondary, do severely worse than they originally thought they would. I should have applied years ago, but I kept working and going downhill even faster. It's such a rare disease, difficult for most people to understand. I've had so many close calls with it that I am truly thankful to be alive. Keep it up during the process, it's needed.
