I've been wanting to make Donnie his own fleece-tie blanket and I finally made time and did. It took me 2 hours from start to finish. He hasn't been home over night since April 2012 and we both miss cuddling when we sleep. Also the facility he's at they don't have control of the thermostat in their rooms. It, being winter, has been much colder and it's difficult to get a good nights sleep. When I gave him the blanket this evening, he was here on a homepass. He loved it and said he was taking it back to the facility so he'd be warm. I told him when he was warm he could think of me cuddling with him keeping him warm while he slept. I love my husband with all my heart and am anxious for him to be back home. Sweet dreams baby <3
As-salaam alaykum brothers and sisters. May Allah bring you peace and many blessings. I am a Muslim, if you are a terrorist I too am your enemy. I appreciate you stopping by, I hope you enjoy reading about my encounters. Feel free to follow my blog and/or comment on any blog post! Enjoy
When the Dust Settles
I have many crafts and hobbies that I've enjoyed over the years and have slowly gotten back into them now that I have an empty nest. There are a few crafts I've been curious about and now I'd like to try doing them. But I've always enjoyed working with my hands, although now my hands don't work as well as they used to. It sometimes takes a little longer to get some things done but I enjoy seeing things from start to finish. I love working with wood a lot! I can't even take a piece of firewood and throw it in the woodstove without looking at it first. My husband laughs about it because he knows I'm going to put some of the wood aside because I am always seeing a "project" in any piece I look at. I will have to take some pictures of my finished works and attach them to this later so you can see what I've created! On one of my sculptures I made from a stick, I was offered $500.00. Each piece I create is done by hand, there are no molds or patterns, they are one-of-a-kind items. Some take a couple days and some a few months. I don't work on one everyday. I work on them when I am in the mood. I tried awhile back to work everyday but the creative juices weren't flowing right and that project ended up being firewood. Each piece is a labor of love <3
Happy New Year
To new beginnings! Tossing away the old and letting in all the positive blessings that are coming my way.
I have closed the book from previous years so I can't flip back and go through the bad times any more. I've forgiven those who did me wrong, I have learned many lessons, some harder than others.
Starting a positive and successful book this year!
May all your hopes and dreams become a reality for you all <3
Thinking Out Loud
I found the URL this morning. It has been a long time since I've written anything. 2012 has been full of ups and downs, and many unexpected changes but I'm adapting to them.
Luckily I found this app in the Play Store and so far it seems to be working, at least I haven't been booted and that has made me happy. I think it will make it easier to post here often as there are a lot of things on my mind. I need this outlet to clear my head. Plus I think my critters think I've gone crazy for talking to them all the time. Lol I may be posting several times a day or go a day or so not posting at all, will have to see how things go.
I hope you will enjoy what will be posted from this day forward. Talk to you soon :)
