About Me

Hi, my name is Amy and this blogging is new to me so here goes, I'll give it a whirl. I have 2 beautiful daughters who are both married to wonderful husbands and I have 2 beautiful granddaughters, ages 3 and soon to be 6 years old. They are my heart!! I have always enjoyed working out to stay in shape and boxing is my all time favorite thing to do now. I have been boxing for fitness for just over a year now. It is totally addicting and I love it. If you are interested in boxing for fitness check out www.hadleysboxing.com. My passion is my sewing. So much so I wish I had more time to do it. The "Melissa's Bag" you see displayed is the one I just did for my daughter. She put in a special request for this tote bag. I had alot of fun designing this one with her. She is also very talented and has her own business which you can check out at www.offthewallhome.com. I also took a couple of the fabric pieces I had left over and made her a picture frame. I forgot to take a picture of it but she is going to take one of it and send to me, so I will be posting it soon. This blogging is new to me so be patient as I learn more about it. Thank you for visiting.

Hormone Makeover Seminar

Summer Regel and I had our seminar last night regarding Menopause and the use of Bio-identical Hormone Therapy. We had a good turnout and unfortunately some women were disappointed because they did not sign up in time. But, they will be coming to our next seminar on April 3rd. At our seminars we open with an introductory of who we are and why Josh and Summer Regel have devoted themselves to helping women and men with their hormonal issues by using Bio-identical Hormone Therapy, which is a compound. Summer is our Bio-identical Hormone Therapy Specialist. After the introductory we show you a 20 minute movie and once the movie is over Summer opens the floor for discussion. Lots of questions are answered. She keeps up to date on all the studies regarding BHRT as well as attending symposiums regarding BHRT. We encourage you to start off by having a Saliva test done. Once the results come back to our lab we then call you to set up your consultation with Summer. The consult takes approximately 45 minutes. She goes over the results with you and then gives her recommendation to your doctor. Once he approves this then she starts you on your BHRT. Yes, you do have to have a prescription from your doctor. She is very thorough and does follow ups with all her patients to see how they are doing.

For those of you who are not familiar with compounding let me explain. It is like the old Apothocary days when you would take your prescription into the drug store and give it to your pharmacist. Instead of them simply filling the prescription by pulling the commercial drug off the shelf, you actually saw your pharmacist compound your drug. This means there is a formula for that particular drug and the pharmacist prints out the formula (like a recipe) and then proceeds to make the drug for you. You are actually given special attention by this drug being compounded especially for you. Make since? Regel PharmaLab specializes in compounds only. We do not carry any commercial drug that you would get at your local Walgreens, Kroger and such. We want to be known as you and your physicians problem solver. We also compound for Pediatricians, Vetenarians, Dentist, Internal Medicine and the list goes on. Please go to our website which I have listed as one of my favorite sites so that you may learn more about us. If you are interested in attending one of our upcoming seminars please email us so that we can get the information to you. And by all means if you have any questions please let us know.

Have a great weekend!

Spring Cleaning early, sleeper sofa for sale.

I know I know. It's Monday and most of us don't like Mondays. Have to go back to work after enjoying the weekend off. But, look at it this way, we have another weekend to look forward to!! Well, I don't know about you, but I am jumping on my spring cleaning already. I always get very fidgety around this time, expecially in the month of March. Such a tricky month. You are so anxiously waiting the arrival of spring and then BAM, we have major snow! Anyway, back to my spring cleaning. I have a sleeper sofa for sale if anyone is interested. I bought it a couple of years ago for my sewing room, so that when my granddaughters come over they have a bed to sleep in. Well, that didn't quite work out that way. They of course sleep with me. Which is quite fine. There we are, me, Reagan, Lyla, Scooby (my 3 1/2 lb Min Pin) all in the same bed. I usually don't get much sleep because they are all fighting over who sleeps next to me including the dog, and somehow they all manage to get on me, around me, anyway they possibly can. Anyway, I have included a picture of the sofa. It looks brand new and sleeps well I have been told. Actually it has only been slept on probably half a dozen times. Anyway if anyone would like more information on it, let me know. Till next time.

Fun weekend

I hope everyone had a great weekend, I know I did. I went to hear a friend of mine and his band play Friday night. They play the good old songs from our day. The picture you see is of his wife, Cassandra, our friend, Miranda, Cassandra's sister Belinda and me. We had a great time dancing and visiting with each other. Sunday I spent the day with my daughter, Melissa at the flea market. We have not been in such a long time. By the time we got there most of them had already packed up and left but we still enjoyed it. Melissa is so creative. We looked thru antique jewelry for her some earrings, pins and such for her to turn into magnets and push pins. She got me so excited about it that I bought a couple pieces for myself and went home and made my own. See my picture of the flower pins I made. So simple to do. If you would like to learn how to make your own go to her blog at offthewallhome.com/blog and she explains how simple it is. We spent the rest of the afternoon shopping and then went to dinner with my other daughter, Heather and her family. Great time! I did plan on sewing all weekend but that pretty much got nipped in the bud. I have got to get some bags made up, not to mention I want to sew some new curtains for my house. Oh well maybe next weekend.

It's Saturday

Hey everyone! Well the weekend is finally here. Don't you hate that we can't wait for the weekends each week just to wish out life away. I do too, but I do every week, can't wait to get those 5 workdays out of the way just to have the weekend. But, if you're like me your working on the weekends too! Housecleaning, laundry, sewing, then comes Spring and you have to do your yard work and upkeep of your flowerbeds. It's never ending. But I am blessed each and every day that I have these days to do them.
Anyway, I have found a couple of more pictures of bags that I have sewn in the past and I am posting them today. I sure wish I had taken pictures of all the ones I have done the past 6 years or so since I created EnStitches. But, I don't. You learn from your mistakes. Anyway hope you enjoy looking. Till next time, Amy

Amy's morning at work

Well my day here at work is starting off wet and yucky. Alot of rain expected today. Of course it would be the day I have a luncheon scheduled for a local doctor's office. I am a marketing rep for a local compounding pharmacy her in Cordova, TN. Regel PharmaLab is over 4 years old and the owners are Josh and Summer Regel. They are both pharmacist and Josh's specialty is compounding and we are fortunate to now have his wife Summer as our Bio-identical Hormone Therapy specialist. For thoses of you who do not know what a compounding pharmacy is, it is like the old Apothocary days when you took your prescription in to your local drug store and actually saw your pharmacist make that drug. Everything done here in our pharmacy is compounded and one of our biggest is the Bio-identical Hormone Therapy. We are now seeing more things going toward natural and organic, such as the food we eat to the drugs we take. That is what Bio-identical means. It is plant based and it fits your body like it should, naturally. We have monthly seminars regarding Bio-identical Hormone Therapy, PMS and Andropause (male menopause). We try to have it at a different location each month. This month Laser Aesthetics on Hwy 64 is hosting it for us. This is our 3rd time at their location and really enjoy having it there. Each day I go out and call on different doctors, nurse practioners and such to let them know about us and what we can do for them and their patients. We also compound for pediatricians, family practice, vets, dentists, sports and pain doctors as well as ob-gyn doctors. Check us out at our website www.regelpharmalab.com. Until next time have a wonderful day.
