Plushies and such

So here is another project I've been working on. I absolutely love the game angry birds and I wanted a plushie of them but they are like $25 a piece so I decided to make my own. I actually made this one a while back but now I am working on the pig from angry birds and the other birds. I used Obsessively Stitching's tutorial and it was so easy to follow. And personally I think mine turned out really well:) Even though my picture quality is pretty bad and I think I made the feather on the top of his head backwards. :/

So that was about the plushies, now the such. I am doing very badly. My ankle is being such a pain and my RSD is worse, I can't put any weight on my ankle because it hurts too much so I am using crutches or staying sitting. Calmare isn't really working anymore and I don't know what to do. We are looking into ketamine but it really scares me because it is so risky. Please pray for me to feel better and be able to walk properly in time for my graduation ceremony on the 17th of June. I really want to be able to walk under my own power. I am going to sew a skirt for my graduation and I really hope it turns out good. I will post pictures when I am finished.
With lots of love,

Highs and Lows

So I guess I'll do the lows first. My pain has been extremely bad and it doesn't seem like the new treatments I am trying are going to help my pain, it has helped my other symptoms of RSD like digestion but my pain is still at an 8 - 10 all day everyday. I am going to continue with the NRC treatments to see if it will start helping but I'm not very optimistic. I am having a lot harder time walking too, my knee just freezes up and burns insanely whenever I try to put weight on it so I've been using crutches at home and when I have to go out somewhere I walk as little as possible and sit whenever I can. Because of this I am looking into getting a service dog to help me. Ok, now on to the highs. So I've really been working hard on getting my school work done and I am happy to day that I am ready to graduate. I finished my last class and have signed the papers so I am officially a graduate:) It's a year early but I am so glad I am done. School work = stress and stress = more pain. I have also been sewing a lot and made a lot of things. Here's pictures of some things and I will post again soon with more.

This is me and a dress I made at a church event Dress a Girl Around the World. We made them out of pillowcases and t-shirts. This one is a pillowcase and bias tape made into a sundress. This was such an awesome experience, I made 2 dresses in 3 hours and I sat by the most lovely people. The women next to me, Linda, taught me how to use both elastic and bias tape, which I had never used before. She was so awesome:) The dresses we made are going to girls in Uganda with our pastor's wife and their son.

 These are of a puppy plushie that I made for my teacher. I gave it to her on my last day and she really liked it. She helped me so much this year when I couldn't make it in because of my pain and she is just such an awesome women overall. It was also exciting because I used new safety eyes and a safety nose that is more detailed like a real dog nose that I got from my new favorite store Hobby Lobby:) The fabric is super soft as well and has little poofed up bubbles. I had so much fun making it:)

Me with the puppy plushie:)

 This is a cactus in a parking lot that I was in. I love cactus, they are so beautiful, and I just had to snag a pic. Below is a close up of one of the flowers.

With lots of love and pain free hugs,
