when I spotted this ..ahum...not so pretty gal at a GW...
I thought she had good bones...
Loved her legs...
nice upper torso...
just the size for my small space...
Grabbed her and brought her home...
Sanded her down...
and made her part of the Family...
She preferred the shabby dress...so I consented...
Her legs trump mine altogether!...
PERFECT...
Always fun to turn an Ugly Duckling into a Beautiful "Shabby Chic...Swan!
Playing with the girls today at "Faded Charm Cottage"...for White Wednesday!!!
Just click on my post title and enjoy...
Up-Date on my Love....
Up-Date on my Love....
Dave is now hooked up to his 6th and hopefully last chemo before surgery.
His oncologist has scheduled the "All telling" PET scan for May 10th.
We all have the highest of hopes that this scan will show that the chemo was the drug of choice that has kicked some major Cancer cells into oblivian...
We are praying....
No new spreading...
Huge tumor shrinkage to warrent surgery for the liver...and colon.
We all of course, pray for total healing ...in the Lord we know all things are possible.
Tomorrow Dave gets the chemo disconnected and he has three weeks to come down off the symptoms before the scan...
He is looking forward to doing some projects around the house and golfing...a lot!
Since his diagnoses in January...this journey has been challenging to say the least.
Not one I would have chosen...but non the less to witness Gods hand on a daily basis has been priceless.
We both comment often and wonder...
How do people get through the deep valleys in life without knowledge and belief in the Lord Jesus?
We can hardly imagine....
My next entry about this topic will be the results of the scan...
As always ...your prayers are coveted.
My sweetiest of friends...I am so thankful for.
xoxo~Kathy

My thoughts are with your husband and you as he battles cancer. May I add him to my personal prayer list?
My mother and 5 siblings were victims...Betty

PS. And you're right. I often wonder how anyone gets through trials without relying upon the Lord. I simply can't imagine it.
I forgot to say how much I like the table. As I said once before, white isn't my favorite thing, but you make it look good! (The shabby thing really works.)

I love your beautiful table. It turned out so nice! And I will be praying for Dave and his upcoming PET scan.

I hope Dave can enjoy himself before he has to go in for his scan. He deserves it! Love & blessings from NC!

Love your table redo. I would love to see the whole room. I'm sure it's gorgeous! In fact, would love to see your whole house. You are such a tasteful decorator. Love your style. Now for the important stuff - I am prayfully hopeful for GOOD NEWS! You are so right about those who suffer earth's hits without Jesus. Why in the world would anyone choose to be without HIM.
ReplyDeleteKathy, Love the table and all the other creative things you so lovingly create. Some friends of ours here in Saginaw have gone through the same diagnosis and treatment as your husband, and with their faith and family and friends, she is doing great!!! Keep the smiles and laughter going too and I'm sure all will be well. Patti
ReplyDeleteKathy.....I LOVE the table! If I had seen that table I would have snatched that up too! Love the results of your transformation! It is exactly the size I am looking for for my living room. Very inspiring post and as always my prayers for a most positive outcome for your hubby! ~Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeleteKathy, I just found your blog and I am in love! The transformation of the table is wonderful. My heart goes out to you and Dave. My husband is a cancer survivor...all things are possible with faith.

Love this, I always said just paint it black, I am thinking white may be the way to go. You sere my ottoman inspiration for my redo. I am done and just trying to get good picks to post. My sewing is not as pristine as yours, but I am happy with the turn out.
ReplyDeleteThe table is wonderful..so glad you rescued it..
ReplyDeleteMy prayers for a good outcome..I am praying for another Dave too..so I will double the Dave dose..
Stay strong..no choice!
Kathy, thanks for the update. You and Dave are often in my thoughts and always in my prayers. Fingers crossed...
ReplyDeletePS- Love the Ugly Duckling table:)
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that you are going thru this. I know how difficult this all is. I have not gotten thru what we have been thru, especially since hubby's stroke in Nov., and coming home to Hospice in Feb., without God leading the way. Prayers for your husband and you.
Check out Renewal and Wellness's Protocel. It is wonderful, and we know someone who never did chemo, surgery, radiation, and is cured of his lung cancer after 2 1/2 yrs. And Ken has been amazing everyone. Although the brain part, and accessing his left hemisphere is definitely a huge challenge after his massive stroke, and severe disability.Also, Tania Harter Pierce's book-Outsmart your cancer-
Prayers. Lydia
Best of luck to him!
