No playtime

I didn't get to play in the shed today and have to work today.   Maybe this weekend!  

Me Time!

Today I'm going to take a little time for myself and go to the shed and play!   I haven't painted or made any cards for awhile now.   I belong to a stampclub.  We make cards once a month.   We have 3 people design a card and demo it.  The person who demonstrates the card is in charge of bringing everything it takes to make it.  I think I will start posting pics of the cards made for the month.  I left my card at the class so I'll have to make another one to post!      I will try to post what I did today in the ol' craft shed aswell!    Stay tuned!  :D

Like dustbunnies under the bed.......These are the days of our lives!  

Thankful

I sound really negative in the last post.  I'm not really like that.  I am thankful for all that I am, and all that I have.  I have just had a really hard time with my Dads death , my mothers health, and financial stress.   I know life goes on and that God will get me thru this.  He is always faithful.  The devil will make you think that your all alone and that noone cares.  I know thats not true.  I love my family, friends and God.   Prayer is a good thing all the time, but especially when your hurting.  I will get get thru this.  I will.

Sometimes I feel like this, useless and empty!   I guess we all do at times.

I made my daughter get out in the snow and take a picture of this mail box in rural Indiana.  How it's still all attached is beyond me!  LOL

Rag Quilt is DONE!

I finished the rag quilt yesterday. I will try to get pictures up later. It turned out nice for my first try.

My Dad

My Dad died April 5th 2009. He loved fishing, hunting and his purple martins. I had this song played at his funeral. I miss him.

The Rag Quilt & Thoughts

Okay, It took me just as long to rip out those seams as it did to put the whole thing together so far! I used pins this time and am much happier with the way it looks now. I have four rows completed. Atleast I won't lose sleep over it now. I stayed all night at moms. I know she gets lonely. I don't want to have regrets with my Mom like I do with my Dad. I wish I would have visited him more and knew his thoughts. It makes me sad.
