Hello,

Hello,

Hello

*
Yes, I'm finally here - hard to believe, I know! LOL A HUGE thank you for all the good thoughts and prayers you sent our way on behalf of my hubby, Ron and my mom. Both are still experiencing challenges but it is what it is and we are continuing to put our faith in God and the professionals.
*
As I've tried to peek over your shoulders I see that some have suffered the sudden losses of family members, some have family members experiencing sudden health challenges and some are suffering sudden health challenges themselves. Sigh - please know that we're keeping you and yours in our thoughts and prayers, as well.

I have not spent any time with my sewing machine however one night this week I finally threaded an embroidery needle with DMC floss #304. I have finished the January block by Barbie Jo at Cleo and Me. I think there are only three blocks remaining. WooHoo!!!
*
Then I traded my embroidery needle and DMC floss for a tapestry needle and overdyed floss to work on a x-stitch project.

I've really enjoyed spending time with my needle and have started to feel the stirrings to do some sewing. I have some old exciting projects and some new exciting projects - what to do? Any thoughts or ideas????? LOL

Welcome new followers - thank you for following what has been a very boring blog. I appreciate that you're here.

I hope you're having a terrific day.

In Friendship!

When It Rains, It Pours
(thunder & lightening)

After 5 days in the hospital Mr Daze (Ron) came home! WooHoo!!!! I'll spare you all the sordid details but suffice it to say that we got good news and bad news. He came home with 5 new medical prescriptions and some life changing instructions. Sigh! His cardiologist was on vacation while Ron was in the hospital so he'll have to see him this week and a very other appointments are on the schedule. It is what it is and we'll adjust.

Ron and I want to thank you for all your prayers and good thoughts! You've truly touched our hearts. :-)

When it rains it pours - sigh! Yesterday afternoon I received news that my Mom has been admitted to the hospital in Texas and is in ICU. The list of challenges is long - a severe bladder infection causing problems with her kidneys, an ovarian cyst and a 6 cm aneurysm - she's a very sick woman and walking time bomb. Sigh!!!

I've tried to reply to your comments however bear with me, please! I don't mind telling you that my mind and heart are all over the place.

I hope that life in your corner of the world is good. Take care of your loved ones and yourself.

In Friendship!

May I Ask?

(again)

*
I'm here to ask for your prayers and thoughts for my main man, Mr Daze aka Ron! I won't bore you with the details but yesterday I had to take him to the emergency room and he was admitted to the heart hospital. He's experiencing another challenge with his big old heart - sigh!
*

He's scheduled to have an angiogram early tomorrow morning and depending on findings decisions will be made regarding the best way to correct this new challenge!

*

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Happy Everything!

I've been searching for a perfect gift for a handful of very special bloggy friends who always remember me at Christmas, my birthday or simply share their talent with me. I'm not as good a friend to them as they are to me because while I remember them on special occasions I'm not good at sending something on time. I do have the best of intentions but you know the road is paved with good intentions. :-)

I discovered Ivonne at The Crackling Crows and her delightful banners and immediately contacted her about making "QUILTS" banners for my friends. After discussing colors and such she got busy - even locating the special quilt stencils to use on each end (can you say perfect?)

Pictures from Ivonne's blog - she's an incredibly talented photographer, as well.
*
I can't tell you who these are for but do you think they will know based on the colors? teehee! I hope they will be pleasantly surprised and excited to receive a small "Happy Everything" gift from me.
*
Please take a few minutes to visit Ivonne at The Crackling Crows- her banners are incredible!!! And, working with her is truly a delight. Tell her I sent you. :-)
*
One more thing - soon I will be celebrating my 5th Blogiversary (yes, five years!!!) and I will be giving away a "QUILTS" banner so stay tuned. :-)
*
Thank you for continuing to pop in to visit with me - I love and enjoy all your comments and ask that you continue to bear with me I hope to blog on a more regular basis soon.

*

Thank you again, my friends!
