I wanted to let everyone know:  Denise passed away on July 20th of 2010.  The reason i posted it here is because someone is using her name to try to sell sewing machines and other things on different sites to include ebay, musclecars.net,fast-autos.net, nwwone.net and many others.  I don't know how many people he has scammed.  If you are one, I am truly sorry. Please let me know at mshupe1959@yahoo.com and I will pass on the information to the police, who have already been notified of the problem both here and indiana.  If you know a Ted Brewer, also please let me know.  I think he knew her in some way.  Thanks

Yesterday was just another day at Sarah Cannon

I have breast cancer, I was diagnosed March 2003 with Stage 4 Her2+++ Breast cancer. Had my first chemo on March 28th, and stopped those meds the end of July that year. I think my longest remission was 18 months. I have been on some kind of chemo on & off since then, I have had one surgery throughout all of this, and that was a tad over a year ago, when I had a large mass removed which used to be lymph nodes under my right arm, To say the least, I had to spend 5 days in the hospital after that day surgery. Within 2 1/2 months, I had a new 5-6 cm mass in the same area, along with the whole front of my chest lighting up like a Christmas tree. I was on different chemos starting last Aug. Seems like nothing was really doing the trick this time. In April. mydoc sent me to Sarah Cannon in Nashville. I have been on a trial every since.

Every 3 weeks I go to Sarah Cannon for tests, as well as a treatment. I am usually there all day, while the treatment lasts 3 hours. So, a L-O-N-G day! My husband, Mike, usually goes with me, which makes life a bit easier.

A few years ago, while I was looking through some sites, I found out that you could embroider on TP! Now, I could never have figured that one out on my own, but I did find out, and todays picture is of just that, a monogrammed tp! I have a friend in LA, and I sent her some tp with a leaf of poison ivy embroidered on it...kind of an inside joke, I had told her all we had for tp in the backwoods of Tennessee was poison ivy. I have a listing in my ebay store with 3 different designs. Take a peek!

Pax Christi!

Wow! My first post in my Blog!!!

Hi! This is my first post, so I am going to say just a few things.

I have 2 sewing/embroidery machines. The first is a Sears Kenmore Elite. The embroidery field is 4.3x4.9, and I learned loads of tricks to embroider. I know the size doesn't sound big, but its big enough for most things.

I also have a Janome 11000...a wonderful machine! I can embroider 2x2, 4.3x4.9, 5x7, 8x8, and 6x12. Loads of stitches I will never know, and I just hook it up to my laptop & download designs!

I get my designs from many places, but my 3 biggies are: sewforum , Embroidery Library , & Holy Needle . I also need to add Artistic Threadworks to the top three, and make it four. I also float around to other places, as well as make up my own. Yes, I have done a few of my own...I have a wonderful program, Embird , which helps me. In fact, the one right above this post, the Pieta, is one I did. Mary holding her son, Jesus, after the crucifixion.
