| This weekend Friday was a chemo day so Saturday was a do nothing but feel like crap day, however Sunday I managed to play with my new embroidery machine. It's not yorkie related, but it's sewing. My husbands aunt is in a nursing home and uses a walker. I saw some little pouch like organizers on several of the other patients walkers, so I asked her her favorite color and made her very own, personalized organizer. Front: http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/...0BF3185116.jpg Back: (this is the part on the inside of the walker) http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/...0BE314E6C2.jpg It has 3 pockets for her to put her things in. Her favorite color is turquoise and as you can see I got to play with the new embroidery machine. I love it and it's just so much fun!! My son has even decided to try his hand and made an embroidery design from a logo picture he saved on the computer. He recovered his desk chair. The seat back http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/...1B32D6223F.jpg http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/...1B30A6B6B6.jpg

Thank you! I love my new machine and can't wait to play more with it. I'm surprised how easy it is to use. My son is 16 so I'm impressed that he even looked at the machine much less asked me to help him use it.

| Love the organizer and your machine and you do lovely work. Looks very professional and to have produced that during the midst of chemo is just amazing. Way to go, girl! You are one tough gal.

| It looks like ya'll were letting the creative juices flow! Tell your son that some of the best taylors and clothing designers in the world are men. Only one of my children didnt learn to sew,two of my sons can use a sewing machine. It isnt just for girls. Cannt wait to see your next project. |

| All you are going through personally and here you are doing for others...you're an amazing lady! How incredibly thoughtful of you. The personalized walker pouch/organizer is absolutely beautiful! I'm sure your aunt will proudly be walking the halls of the nursing home showing of that beautiful piece of artwork

| Wow, Michele I'm sure your Aunt will be getting lots of extra attention and jealous glances now I was just looking recently to try to find a similar product to hang on the back of a beach chair. It seems they don't exist Maybe a new business venue for you
