The Week As It Is

The pain in my stomach goes on and on, though it seems, fingers crossed, like it might be trending towards better. Eating almost anything is still dicey though and I'm still relying Mylanta and Tums for symptomatic relief. So that's fun. 

Last week I started a new journal so I sewed a cover for it using some fabric I ordered from a fabric shop in Japan. I only had a quarter yard of this fabric, so this used up a good chunk of it. 
I also ordered these trimming tools, which are basically acrylic squares with grippy bottoms and small handles.  They start at 2- inches square and go up to 6.5 inches in half- inch increments. So far I've only used the 5- inch one, but I like having the full set because I'm crazy and also collecting sewing notions is my other hobby aside from quilting. 
This is my next project, a double wedding ring quilt.  I have templates but they are on thin plastic so I want to make better ones before I start cutting up fabric. 
And that's been my week. Oh--I also saw the N.P. who was completely useless except for ordering blood tests that show that my pancreas and liver enzymes are within normal limits.  It doesn't rule out other physical things like a hernia so my brain is still going crazy with anxiety, but it's something. 

We came home from that appointment via the DAISO near our house so I consulted myself with a bunch of cute stationary, some of our actually from Japan.
