Hello July (Fair Warning: some medical stuff in first paragraph)

I can't believe my last post was Hello June. Now it's July already... A lot has happened since my last post. Stinking doctor appointments. CT scan, then a PET scan... Then a lung biopsy because they think some nodules in my lungs may be metastatic. I had my lung biopsy last Thursday. I still hurt. It doesn't help that I can't stop coughing. I don't know if it's still trying to clear all the gunk out of my lungs. After they took the drain tube out I started coughing up a bunch of stuff.... Ewww...  I am supposed to go back next Tuesday to get the biopsy results and for a post op check up.  Well I didn't even tell you everything. But this is supposed to be a crafting blog...   

But where did June go?  I couldn't wait all winter long for it to be summer and it's already going too fast!!

I guess that means Fourth of July crafts...  I didn't realize it was coming up so fast. We were coming home from grocery shopping one day, and I said "I should probably decorate for Fourth of July". I don't have much in the way of  "decor" for the 4th. But I do have some stuff. And I went and got some napkins. I put my little Fourth of July gnome on the hutch, and hung a banner up. 

Someone posted an "American Pie" stuffie they made, on Facebook. I thought it was so cute!! (Of course, she adds to patterns and makes them even cuter-she put legs with shoes and arms with "hands" it was adorable...)  I wasn't asking for the pattern, but she posted the link for it. And..... I bought it. 😁😁American Pie Crochet Pattern.

I got yarn out last night and I actually finished the first side. I have had the red white and blue variegated for I don't even know how long. I'm using that for the back piece. Do I even know what I'm going to do with it? No. Do I care? No. It's cute. 

I was working on this before I got the American Pie pattern. A vest. This is the first side. I started this in March, I think!  I had about a half skein of lighter purple, but I didn't think it would be enough. I was going to go to the store with my husband last night but I really didn't think I should. It hasn't even been a week since my surgery. I showed my husband the yarn I had and said I didn't think I would have enough. I cut a little piece and I don't remember how I said it.....   But...

He bought me some lighter purple yarn!! That's the first time my husband has ever actually bought me yarn. 😝  He even sent me a picture to see if it was a good lighter purple one.... (I asked him if he could.)    I think he really does love me... (LoL)   I've been trying to crochet tops because nothing fits me anymore. (Even though it's mid 90's and 74% humidiity right now.... Who wants to wear a sweater top?)  

This is another top I have been working on. The Hexi Twist Tee. I'm doing just scrap colors. I started the second side to try and match them up to see if it will be big enough. 

I did lose some weight but....   My NP said I am probably stuck in Fight or Flight Survival Mode is why I gained so much weight.  I started an "Anti Cancer" diet and lost a few pounds... 

I think I am going to just crochet and try to not think about anything again today...
