New Autumn Items, Plus something about my mom

Happy Wednesday!



I can't help noticing I am still at 99 followers. Hmmm. Darn, I would love #100 soon! I plan to do a giveaway after reaching 100 followers. I changed things a little bit here on the blog. Recently I put up a new fall colored background. Also I just changed the number of "blogs I heart" that show up on the side bar. Now 25 appear instead of 10 and I added a few more to the list.

I wanted to share some new items. I just listed these two pillows on Etsy last night. A third is to be listed soon.







(Taken while in progress, one more pillow I need to finish there on the left!)


Now about my mother....

I know there are some who read my blog who also read my mother's blog. Since she possibly won't be posting today I thought I would just sahre.

My mom is fine - but - yesterday during the day she attempted to use bleach to clean something on a ceiling in their house. They have high ceilings and she had to stand on a stool (or something). While doing this, bleach fell and splashed right into her eye. It became very very irritated and painful. She flushed it with water, then called poison control who told her she had to rinse her eye for 15 minutes. After that she called around to some Dr's offices because she had blurry vision in that eye, still a lot of pain, and was worried it might have damaged her vision. After calling around, she was told to just go to the ER.

So our friend( who is like a family member) drove her there. Her eye is going to be fine, according to the Dr's. But she had a very rough day, went home afterward with a bad headache, swollen eye and the side of her face was even swollen she said. My poor mommy!! :( She received a prescription for eye drops so hopefully those help. I am praying that her eye feels better very soon.

Aw...I read your mom's blog...that sounds terribly painful! I hope she recovers quickly...it is scary getting something in your eye-especially if that something is bleach!

I see that you reached 100! Congrats!
