So I had this hysterectomy. . . .

I had a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy (fallopian tubes removed) in April.  For me, it was the best decision I could have made, and the timing was right.  For me.  It wasn't a decision made lightly.  And to clear up some confusion (mostly with a few family members) -- it had nothing to do with birth control or restricting family size, and everything to do with saving my health, and maybe a little of my sanity.

This post shares my almost year-long experience in preparing for and recovering from my hysterectomy.  I hope it can help, and give hope, to someone else struggling with pain and bleeding issues, or faced with this decision.

Eco Market Bags and a big update

Hello, friends!  I've been working on a couple of posts for you, and while those are not yet publish-ready, I still wanted to drop in and give a little update or two.

First, some shop news. . . .

I've added a brand new product to my refabulous shop -- Eco Market Bags!  They are patterned after the ever-present plastic bag, but the design and construction of my handmade market bags blows plastic bags away -- completely.
