I’ve been missing in action … to be honest, it’s been a horrible week and I’m just starting to come around. I still feel weak and I’ve got some issue going on with my sinuses which is still causing bad headaches. The side effects this chemo round were worse than before and I hate that it ruined Christmas.
Since I’m able to be up a little more today, I got my tradition ornament gifts prepared. I’ve been doing these for a while and do miss a year here and there, but I love choosing one of my photos from the year to feature.
The ornaments are found at Michael’s.
Now I’m going to sit back and listen to my audiobook while I crochet. I’ve only done a few rows the entire week so there’s lots more to be done on it.
So sorry you’ve been feeling so bad, especially during the holidays. Hope you’re feeling a bit better every day. It is so hard for our bodies to recover after treatments.
Thinking of you and wish I could make all the bad go away. Your in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope you feel better soon, Mary. You’ve had more than your share of cancer issues.
Sorry Mary that you were not well. Take it easy, go slowly. Rest well.
Wishing you good health in 2026

These photo frames are so lovely! I wish I had started frames with my own grandchildren.
I am sorry the chemo knocked you for a loop. Rest and know that your loved ones will celebrate with you when you feel better.
I am so sorry you had a chemo side effect week. Medical technology has come a long way but I wish they were better able to counter act the effects. You remain in my prayers. Bless you.
So happy to hear from you. Sorry you had a tough week, but hopefully the next week will be better.
The kids ornaments are adorable and will be treasured as they grow older. Hope the book is good and that you get some real relaxation in as you create.
Dear Mary, please take care of your self, it is the most important at the moment, before you can take care of anybody else, the family will also wish you to. All your reader will wish you the very best, so you can fight with all you have. We are very pleased with all you do, and will gladly wait for any news. The ornaments are so beautiful.
best wishes

Mary,
Sorry to hear the chemo got you down at the holidays! Hope you will rest, and allow your body to heal. You are so much more important than things! Hoping and praying that 2026 will be a healthier and happier year for you, and all yours! Take care! (Your projects are always so beautiful!) Here’s to a HAPPY NEW YEAR! HUGS! : ) Brenda King
I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling so horrible the past week. I definitely hope 2026 becomes a really good year for you. The annual ornaments are wonderful and so special. Awesome photo choices for 2025.
Fun ornaments! ❤️ Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling so crumby. I suppose the best thing for it was to rest and try to ease the side effects and sinus issues. Sinus issues can certainly take a person down and out. Ouch! 🤕 My thing lately is stomach related…unhealthy tummies are a bugger. 😒 My daughter has done photo ornaments for us and I enjoy seeing them hanging on the tree. 🎄
I support your resting and taking care of yourself; even if as priorities #1-20. ❤️
The photos and frames are lovely. Sending well wishes for you. It’s ok to take it easy once in a while, although I know that is not your nature.
I am so sorry and I wish you a better 2026. Elisabeth
So sorry you were not well for the holidays but hoping each day finds you feeling better. Your ornaments are precious and will be especially appreciated when the kids are grown up and they see themselves as they were growing up each year. I am praying for you that your treatment would be effective in destroying all cancer cells. Hoping 2026 is a good year for you and your family.
Being sick at Christmas is a bummer because I’ve been there. Hopefully this week will find you a little bit better and back to your normal knitting and quilting. I don’t know what’s going on with this sinus thing because we’ve got it way up here in Illinois. Take care of yourself Mary
Your ornaments are beautiful, and I’m sure they will appreciate and enjoy them.
I also support you taking care of yourself. I know you like to creating things, but you are more important. When you don’t post I often assume you are going through a rough time and stop and pray for you. Take care.
I’m so so sorry youve had such a rough time over Christmas. I’m sure your family understand, but I know how horribly frustrating it is to have even low key plans frustrated by our bodies
Holding you in the light x
I’m sorry the severe side of chemo has struck you. And I’m grateful that you’ve mended enough to get a treasured tradition accomplished for your joy. Hugs.
Sorry to hear you had a bad week and horrible side affects, hopefully you are doing better and your sinuses and headache clears so you can enjoy some quality time with your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers
Hope you are feeling better. Your Photo Ornaments are very nice and thoughtful. You are amazing.
