53F. About to be a grandma for first time

I have 3 adult kids. I live in MD. Life is weird. It's just crazy to see your kids grow up and then look around and not have friends because your old friends were their friends parents.

It's a weird stage.

Pieces for sale for July 4th

So we are in a big show on July 4th for the celebration of the 250th. Here in Maryland. It's supposed to be like 3 bands, fireworks, a drone show, 120 vendors, huge. But I am torn on what we should be sure to make.

​

Should we be making strictly patriotic stuff, or more animals. Or the religious pieces? We do lots of sports stuff too. I'm just wondering what would you concentrate your limited time on? We are going to be hard in the shop this week and next, but I feel like we are running out of time and I don't want to use our limited time on pieces that won't sell.

Maryland flag love

This is a pattern I created and my husband and I do.

Here in Maryland we are obsessed with our flag.

Pernicious anemia

I have RA, Hashimotos, Raynaud's, Sjogrens and Hughes Disease. I also get Migraines from disc damage to my spine from long term RA.

The thing is 2 years ago I started losing weight and there was no real cause. Not a lot just gradual loss. 70 lbs in 2 years. And my blood work showed my red blood cell count was wonky. When we investigated my B12 was VERY off. I was put on injections for 6 months. When I finished they just thought it would be normal and cured.

It was not cured. A month after finishing and not being on B12, my red blood cells are back to being wonky and my B12 is back to double digits instead of where it should be.

Before they diagnosed the B12 I was having neurological issues. The only thing I can think could be the problem was the Methotrexate I started around that time. But they keep upping the folate and that is doing nothing. Now I am back on the B12. Still losing weight.

Am I going to be on B12 forever? Is this just what I do now? I mean. Every time the B12 is off it knocks my Thyroid numbers off and my INR off. It drives me nuts. It affects everything.
