True Friends

I start a project and somebody hollers at me so I drop everything to go help them. There sits my project not done. When I am wanting help everyone is busy with some ptoject of their own and they won't be bothered with me; or no one answers when I call.
I have one friend I hadn't seen in 15 years who I was fortunate enough to reconnect with on Facebook. Carole has been a Godsend for me! It doesn't matter what day, what time, or why she has always been here for me. I don't know if she'll see this or not but... Carole thank you sooo much for all your support and help you've given me and Donnie! You hold a huge place in my heart and I love you!!!

Wish There Was an Off Switch

I think I'm an "over thinker"! I've been told I always think about things too much. I do think about most things a lot, Pros vs Cons, good over bad, advantages vs disadvantages, effects vs affects, etc. And I still make mistakes! By that I mean I didn't get the outcome I had concluded even after all the thought I put into things. Well... at least I'd like to think (there I go again) that if a similar experience presents itself I will choose a different action to achieve my goal. Sheesh this posting is confusing! To think I thought all day long about what subject I would blog about! Lol Hope I haven't confused you as much as I have myself during my attempt to write this. Reckon I'm off to think some more... happy thoughts. ;)

Furbabies

I love my furbabies! They are so loving and caring. No matter what they always are happy to see me and hang out.
We have Chihuahuas and Australian Shepherds, both are wonderful breeds. They are our "kids" and are rightfully spoiled rotten.
I took a break from breeding for awhile, am starting up again. Was looking for a Chihuahua stud and found him. He'll be coming from my friend Dawn.
I'm also looking for a female Mini Aussie for Harley. At this point I haven't found THE one yet.
This summer once the ground thaws out we'll be making a fenced yard for the Chihuahuas. It will be protected from the winds with lots of shelter from the sun and the predators that hunt out here on the plains.
I'm off to go snuggle with my fur kids <3

From My Heart to Donnie <3

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

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
