Well, life's bodyslams continue! My backbone MUST be made out of steel...who knew??!!
As I less than merrily weave my way through this newest set of BOULDERS in my life's path, my posting will be somewhat erratic; however, I WILL still be here and WILL continue to share my world of fabrics, fibers and founds with you.
For those of you who have been following me regularly (Thank You!!!), you'll know that I have not been able to drive in over two years, which makes this current situation SO much more enjoyable (not!!).
I can report that my Treasure, my daughter, is doing beautifully, and my grandson kicked me hello a couple days ago -- he is SO ready to join us soon (February can't come soon enough!!).
So stay tuned...A N D...
Be curious! Allow yourself to Be Challenged!! And I'll be back!!

A Bit About My Blog...

I love to embellish! Food, work, my home, me. Besides working with fabrics, fibers and founds, anything that catches my eye adds beauty in some form to my life experience. Check out my sidebar for ideas and freebies, and join me in my creativity!

TAROT WISDOM -- HERE BE DRAGYNS...
You are The Star
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised
The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
and counting...

Hello Sarah,
I am so sorry to hear your news, I did write a few times but when I didn't get a reply I didn't know what had happened. You should have told me.
As Ati said, when you can, just return the felt pieces to one of us, we'll sort the rest out so don't worry.
I do hope and wish that your new year improves soon. Best Wishes Tricia x
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for following my blog. I wish your daughter all the best.
I envy you a little bit - I would love to welcome a baby in our family. But alas, my daughters are still too young (studying and therefore not planning to be Mom). Enjoy the process, time is flying so fast.
Angelika
