Its been so long since I posted....life just got in the way. I have had a bit of a rough time with my congestive heart failure and COPD,and then in Aug I hit my head,they did a ct scan,and found I have a brain tumor. Hopefully all will be ok in the end..

I refuse to let my health stop me from my stitching and creating!

Spring Celebration at OFG on Etsy

We are having a Spring Celebration on Etsy...Just type in NBCOFG to see all the Spring creations our talented artists have created.

Here are a few of mine

And Look what Hubby gave me for Valentines day!

Got home from Hospital Monday 2/24 with CHF again....Hopefully I can keep it

at bay for a while now. I never know when it will hit,but know  the signs so I gotta take it easier I guess

My pretty roses were all dead when I returned   :-(

Guess we should all take it one day at a time...cause ya never know..

Merry Christmas my Blogging Friends

I have not posted for a bit. Life just got in the way. I want to wish Each of you a 

wonderful Christmas....Filled with Blessings and Love. Hold those you love close..You never know how long you will have them with you

Gift for my Cousin I made

One of my best sellers this season

 I was so busy with orders,and most importantly trying to spend time with my Mom.(while I fight Congestive Heart Failure) She is terminally ill and we had to put her in a nursing home.She had a knee replacement two years ago that went bad.They took out the replacement three times,and now took out the entire replacement,and added these huge pins to hold her leg together. What they did not know was sometime after the first replacement she got a staff infection in the leg that went to her heart. They knew she had the infection,but not that it went around her heart. Because of this the doctor can do no more for her leg..(too serious to operate) so without  a brace,the bottom of her leg just swings loose without a brace.Her pain is horrible,and it just breaks my heart to see her this way.  Please keep her in your prayers...WE are taking it a day at a time....so Glad she is still here,yet wanting her to have peace and be pain free..

Miracles happen,and we are hoping for one here...I can not imagine not having my Mom here. Guess I have to let the Lord decide on when she leaves us....but its very hard.

Sorry for the sad ending to this post...guess I just needed to vent..

Christmas Blessings to you all!

Fall Goodies

New piece for Halloween I just finished~Prim Keepsake box is listed on Etsy

This guy was a piece for OFG Fall Celebration and sold quickly. I want to make another one for myself...but doubt I will have the time!

In Sept we finally went to the shore for four days..it was wonderful! Beautiful weather,and so relaxing! Since my heart trouble it was just wonderful to sit on our deck and look out at the ocean. This was taken from the deck in morning..When I  am there I feel as if I died and went to heaven..I love the Ocean!

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday

I'm Back..and new Goodies

Whew this has been a rough summer for me. I have been in hospital four times since the middle of June. I just got out again after a four day stay..I have congestive heart failure,and it hits me all at once. Not a fun thing for sure,but I Will not let it

stop me from doing what I love. which is create prim and pretty goodies.

I am going to start on Fall and Halloween goodies,but did stitch a piece which I am going to put in my shoppe later today.

Here is a stitched piece I finished..its a design by the Blue Attic..aged and stained to Prim perfection.....

The back has vintage ticking

Just love how it came out..For sure I am going to make one for me..lol

and here is a new candle mat

Done in a reproduction colonial print fabric

And finally....look at these beautiful roses my Sister brought to me in the

Hospital...and they smell as beautiful as they look...

Thanks Laina!!!

The rose above is incredible. The outer petal is white,with the beautiful

fuchsia pink inner petal

They surely brightened my day when she walked in with them.

Hopefully I will stay out of hospital for a while...most people with CHF are

in their 70's and above....but it all stems from my heart  attack which damaged my heart...grrrrrrrrrr..

Hopefully I will stay well,and make some nice new goodies

Check back cause I am going to have a giveaway soon..
