trip to Ada, OK

heading to Ada, Ok in the morning (roughly an 8-9 hr drive)

i'm getting some MRI's done on friday afternoon at Chickasaw Nation hospital. this to check on some progress of neuropathy damage and to look for anything else going on. will have another set of MRI's done next month too.

i need lots of prayer over the next 3 days.

fall update

all of today's beadwork photo uploads were finished right at the beginning of November for a conference in Kansas City at UMKC, where i had a booth space.  (i photographed them as i finished them but only now uploaded them to Flickr and here on the blog; facebook usually gets priority when i finish beadwork.  i'm trying to be more organized this month now that the "conference rush" is over with.)

also working on some Christmas beadwork orders for some friends, along with my usual gifts.

the dogwood blossom pins are the most popular item this season.

as for me personally i'm still forging ahead with the weightloss (currently i've lost 120 lbs.  Praise God!)
i'm still struggling with the diabetes, arthritis and the neuropathy, along with the meds.  its one "battle" at a time most days. 
Thank God for my prayer circle too, they've been a tremendous encouragement in every way to me and the Lord's bringing me through His Healing Grace moment by moment.
