Warmer Weather?

Oh my gosh it is suppose to get near 60° today, I think we are just being teased because it is going to cold again, lol. But it sure has given me some spring fever. Thinking thoughts of spring, and Easter, bunnies, eggs, candy...............oh the crafty patterns are coming out!

My Mom ended up having to go back in the hospital for more surgery on her heart, she is home again and doing good!

My poor Grandson fell and hit his head on the arm of a wood futon, poor baby, needed 4 stitches, and it was not easy on him, his Mommy or his Ma-maw.


Been working on more patches for one of the American Legion Riders groups that I work with. I am getting quite an education on patch terminology. Rocker Panel? What the heck is a rocker panel? Ah now I know, curved like the rockers on a rocking horse! Got it!




Be sure and check out my stuff listed in my etsy store, spring cleaning going on, need to reduce my inventory of stuff so I have room to work on new and exciting things.
I am going to be working on doing more clay items, wire jewelry and working with resin, I have worked a little with the resin and have made a few mistakes. The best way for me to learn something new, is read as much as I can, then jump in there and do it!

Going Through the Valleys

Well it has been a rough time around here since right before Christmas. My best friends sister passed away from cancer.

We lost our cat of 8 years, Blackie to feline leukemia.

My Mom has been in and out of the hospital with problems with her heart. Finally they put in a pacemaker and she is home and doing good. Thank God!







Picture of Blackie with Crystal who passed, almost 2 years ago, she was 19 yrs old.

Today I had to take our kitten in and have him put to sleep. We found out a couple of weeks ago that he had cancer too, but he had it in his lymph nodes. We take good care of our cats, vet checks, shots, fixed and they never go outside. There was nothing more they could do for him and he had lost so much weight, had lost the little spark that made him such a character.
Being a goof on the back of the couch, Busted big time, up on the table and inside my purse! Snuggling with his best bud Lilly. We still have Lilly, she seems kind of lost and has been for a while with Sabre being sick and not tearing around the house with her. They loved to rough and tumble and be in trouble together all the time!
I guess I was in denial when they called and told us it was cancer. Kept hoping he would get better, but he didn't. You just know when enough is enough and you can't watch them suffer any more.
I am selling again on ebay and etsy, more so on etsy, cheaper to list, trying to liquidate all my stuff that I have worked so hard on, but hasn't sold through the store. I have way to many things and can't keep storing them, it interferes with my being able to work on other, new things. So if you get a chance check out my stuff and hopefully you can find something you just can't live without.
Hugs,
Renee
