The Eyes Have It

Yesterday I spent most of the afternoon at the optometrist's office. I really went there thinking I would get my busted up glasses fixed and a prescription for a new pair. Well after many tests and a lot of time it was determined I have significant cataracts along with a couple of other eye issues too complicated for me to understand let alone explain, but it has to do with my eyes not having enough moisture and having a rough texture on one eye. So I am being referred to an eye surgeon for further follow-up. So my big plans to have no medical hassles scheduled this month just went down the toilet. I knew I was having trouble seeing but didn't realize it was as bad as it was. I guess you just get used to things and adjust. I'm not surprised, I'm at that age where you expect these things, but I was hoping to fend this problem off a little longer. Oh well, that is life isn't it? Always expect the unexpected! LOL! Of course I will keep you all updated on how this matter is progressing. This seems to be a relatively routine type of surgery now so even though I am apprehensive, I'm not terrified either. Let's just get it over with and move on already.

So I did get my good glasses put back together so I can see better now, but I was looking at the various frames in their shop before I was called for my appointment, and was kind of disappointed that the styles haven't changed much since the last time I got new ones. There is a caveat to that of course. I did see some that were magnificently colorful. Hmmmmm, me thinks the possibilities are intriguing!

Enough of that for now, let's move on to more stitching business! Yeah! It is so cold out today, and any errands I thought about doing have gone by the wayside. So what I think I will do is prep for my next video. There is so much to talk about! I will be attending my first ever Fiber Artists of Oklahoma meeting this week, and will be sure to include that info in the video. I'm very excited about going and meeting some wonderful artists that share the same passion.

Before I sign off so I can get some work accomplished, I want to give you a link to a YouTube creative that I enjoy watching. She comes up with such fabulous, easy to do crafts, and I have enjoyed her channel so much, I have to share. Check her out here and have loads of fun learning new neat stuff:

I'll be back next week with a new video with lots to talk about! In the meantime, here's a thought nugget:
