About a year and a half ago I really got into sewing and strangely, it became something that relaxed me! Hours of sewing was how I would relax during school. Sitting there putting fabric together to make something cool...designing bags, aprons and blankets...it was just fun! Like many things, last April I had to stop sewing. I was hoping to be able to sew during chemo but my depth perception, nistagmis and the inability to use my hands properly kinda put that to an end!
However, today, two months after chemo, I finally sewed ON MY OWN! Thats right! And I didn't sew my fingers and sewed in a relatively strait line! Granted, I was sewing squares together for a blanket top but making those squares come out even and lined up properly is harder than one might think! But I did it!!!! LOL!!
So happy to be back to sewing...just one more thing I am reclaiming!!!
After 15 years of trying to finish my undergrad, I spent the week before finals in and out of the ER. During finals I was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer. I graduated Magna Cum Laude the next weekend from Western Michigan University. I am now blogging about my experiences of fighting cancer & living life after in hopes of being able to help others.
