A week until Thanksgiving....this year has been a whirlwind.  First of all thank you guys that keep stopping by here to check on me..or to find me on facebook, or message me, or contact me through my etsy shop.  It means a lot to me that you care..and wonder where I have been and what has been going on....thank you.  I think we have found our new normal around here...almost 6 months in the making..and we are still trying to sort it all out.  But I have hope and faith that God is in control and has a good plan..Let me backtrack for those that are trying to cat ..read more

I am making lemonade..you know when life throws you lemons..you make lemonade.  Well that's just what I am doing.   I am now have a grandson living with me...a 15 year old teenage boy...I am doing the best I can with a bad situation.

Hello...I haven't blogged in a very long time..If you are still reading my thoughts let me know..maybe I will start blogging more often.  Recently added these hooks to my inventory at my shop byhooks4u.etsy.com I don't have much to say so I hope you enjoyed the pics. My hook doesn't seem to moving as much lately.

Lets start with the heart attack.  I took hubby to the ER due to him saying he was having chest pains...come to find out while talking to the dr...it has been going on for a week....It is scary to have them move you so quickly into the ER...and the amount of attention one gets....to make a long story short...it was a small heart attack...after stayi ..read more

I have been busy trying to get some orders finished up, some test patterns completed..and then I developed a cold.   While I had this cold I realized I don't know how to spit.  The Dr.  said to spit the phlem?..you know that yucky stuff you cough up?  anyway to spit it out...well I was taught that ladies do not spit....so I guess I did not learn how.  I try to spit and I end up with snot, for the lack of better word, just hanging from my lips..gross I know.  So hubby in his fit of laughter tries to tell me how to spit...so now I am learning to spit...at the a ..read more

Today is Cyber Monday....whatever....I don't buy into the hype of doing my shopping on these days....I don't know if I am missing out on something or not.   I just haven't figured out what or how I am doing the gift giving this year.  My grandkids are growing up and are getting harder and harder to shop for.  I have a few that are still young and will enjoy anything grandma and grandpa hand them.  Most of you know I am not a shopper...I don't like crowds, don't like shopping period.  I can do it...but usually I don't if I don't have to.  Although to go shoppi ..read more
