Sinuses & Sewing

I couldn't think of a better title for this post. LOL

First up, my sinuses are KILLING me! I have a sinus infection and down to the last day of anit-biotics tomorrow and yet it feel like I have a screwdriver going through my head. This seems to be a new recurring thing lately. I thought the Zyrtec-D was working, but I don't know if it's the infection or what but it's not working. Zyrtec-D and 2-3 Tylenols, then we can talk, at least for a little bit. Anyone out there in blogger-land have any suggestions for a killer sinus headache? Oh and the new thing is when I drink something cold, it goes straight to my head, like brain-freeze but without the fruity tasting Slushie.

ANYWAY... next is sewing. I've been on a mission. Not just sewing but crocheting too. As I start some new projects I've been forcing myself to finish some older projects that have sat around for a while. I recently finished this little dress I started probably about 6 months ago, maybe a little more.

Then there is the little baby blanket I've probably been working on for a couple of years off and on.. haha I have to be in the mood to crochet, and actually remember that I have something to crochet.. haha. It's still not finished, but I'm really close to finishing it.

Then there are the new projects... I finished the curtains for the nursery and a matching little crib quilt. I have more of the fabrics I used to make a crib skirt, sheet, pillows, etc.




I'm trying to decide what is next. Whatever it is, it has to be done with existing fabrics.. LOL I'm banning myself from the fabric store.

Tomorrow will be 5 weeks waiting on child abuse clearances. It's supposed to take 4-6 weeks. So any day now. Our homestudy is with our agency bring reviewed (I hope). Once the clearances come thru, and the homestudy is finalized, we can submit everything and get on the waiting list.. Can you hear the clock ticking????!!!!

I broke down over the past weekend and bought the new Sade CD for my birthday (14th). I LOVE me some Sade! There's one song on there.. caught me off guard and had me balling all over my sewing machine.. there isn't too much to the song but after everything I've gone through these past 7ish years.. to where I am right now, with a renewed outlook for this new adoption and yet another paperchase almost done and even with the talk of 2 trips to Ethiopia (and where is that $$ going to come from), it connected with me..

There's a long hard road ahead
But a voice inside me said
You know there's something that you need to know
It's gonna be alright
Said there's something that you need to know
It's gonna be alright
And when in this life in this life
When I can only turn my chin
I know it's gonna be alright
When this big old town is closing in
And I have lost again
Here I could stay
But I'll keep moving on
Here I could stay but I'll keep moving on
Could be I won't be wrong
There's a long hard road ahead
But a voice inside me said
Said there's something that you need to know
It's gonna be alright
Said there's something that you need to know
It's gonna be alright

It WILL be alright.

And on that note, I'm out. Peace.
