It's been a while and Time has a way of flying!
Life threw some 'hard knocks' our way in the form of our daughter's health since I last posted.
I know I've told you about her. She's mentally handicapped with the abilities of an 18 month old toddler....in a body of a 32 year old woman. And she has to have everything done for her. She also has a seizure disorder that Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16266879724801426628noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652881758409679893.post-87297640040230854972017-03-14T11:30:00.002-04:002017-03-14T11:30:47.930-04:00Any.

Easter is around the corner. I'm not doing anything. ANY. THING. I have some softies sewn and stuffed. That's it. Cannot find my Mo Jo. I'm not sure it no longer exists. If you have any extra, please send it my way. Well.....one can hope.
Meanwhile, I received a message from my son. He took my Grand Dog to get groomed yesterday. They took Easter photos.

School is back in for us. We're on our 2nd and 1/2 week and life is settling back in to our normal.
The kids just had their 11th Birthday and are now in middle school. They don't have to be there until 9:25 a.m.
Kind of nice to not have to beat the pots and pans so early in the morning any more.

Our OFG Team and the FAAP Team on Etsy are collaborating and having an "ANYTHING GOES" Celebration!
What does that mean? As an Etsy buyer, it means NEW things from some of your favorite Etsy sellers AND, possibly, some coupons to help with your purchases! Here's a link to a small movie to see some of the items for sale.

I have been so busy throughout this past month. Didn't mean for it to be that way but had a few responsibilities to follow through on. I was asked to teach a couple of

I forgot to share some pics of our Cub Scouts Blue and Gold Banquet that we had in April. It was the 'Minion' Theme but I can't remember the whole gist of it. I was in charge of setting it up so I did a little 'crafting'. Also made some Ziti for consumption by those little cubbies! Take a look!

I've really needed it! Taking some time off to regroup and rest and take care of things that seems to have fallen apart without my attention. I've always said my 'art is my therapy' and it is, however, it can be a bit too much sometimes when you overload yourself.
So, I've been slowly, and I do mean s-l-o-w-l-y, getting some forgotten projects done while, intermittently, taking naps.

Well, here we are in the middle of January and I'm just now posting. One could look at me and think I've been lazy....but I haven't been. I'm having another busy month! So glad I took a few weeks off around Christmas. I'm still having a hard time getting my head back into the game. I've not created anything new except for these as I've had my hands full with orders.

October has been a very busy month for me! I'm needing a break and looking forward to December when I take one. I'll be back at the 'saws' again today. I have a couple of Halloween Costumes to put together this week for the family and am finishing up some dolls for the upcoming Holidays and our Team Celebration. Lots of Snowfolks both wood and softies, some Reindeer, and a couple of new dolls.
