ALMOST 2009!!!!

Wishing the best in the new year for all. May all your hopes and dreams become realities.

The Power of a Woman

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.

Happy Holidays! Find ways to bring joy!

"There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." Edith Wharton

In memory of Mouse

And then there were 12........2 days ago my wonderful siamese cat, Mouse, had to be put to sleep. He and I had been to the vet nearly every day for the last two weeks. He had a mass in his head that manifested itself as an ear infection and ended up destroying the nerves on that side of his face. His eye, tongue and throat were affected. He couldn't eat for the last week and I brought him to the vet every other day for fluids so he would not dehydrate. The last day I just couldn't watch him suffer anymore. He wanted to eat so badly and couldn't. The vet said force feeding would only have been a temporary fix.

My heart is broken. He was a clown, a cuddler, and he was my muse when I worked in my studio. He always wanted to be with me, to HELP me work.

He was 7. I rescued him and his 3 sisters from a woodpile after his mother was hit by a car. They were maybe 4 weeks old. He has had a wonderful cat life of food, play, catnip, and cuddling. I miss him terribly.

Goodbye Mousie, my life is not the same without you.

Fall Bracelets

I was busy today making fall bracelets. It's cold and windy here today, a perfect day for playing in my craft room. I made the skull beads from polymer clay, and aged them so they look like bone. I used glass and crystal beads on silver wire to add to the mix. The felted bead bracelet is just a fun fall look.

FAMILY

"If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty." - Jeff Foxworthy

Halloween Spirit

I'm getting in the Halloween spirit. I decided to paint my pumpkin like a haunted house this time. I like to paint them rather than carve them because they last so much longer. Turned out cute, huh? It's a beautiful day here today, about 65degrees, sunny, breezy, but tonite and most of next week is suppose to be rainy and cooler. I suppose it was in inevitable, winter always does rear it's head, but it always seem to come just a little too fast. At least they are predicting rain and not SNOW!! There was frost on the windshield one morning this week, but that was all. ( and that is enough ) Better get out and enjoy this beautiful day. Have a great weekend everyone!!
