SUNDAY & WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY

Hi everyone,
I know that I haven't been posting for the past few days, sorry for that. Unfortunately I had some health issues & it set me back.
So this evening I got back to my crafting for my sons shop & tomorrow I will have the first craft item to show you & I will even explain to you how I made it.
Then maybe if you like what I made you maybe will like to make one too.
Or if you don't have the time to do it yourself & would like to give one as a gift, just contact me because  I am making these craft items to sell.
I really hope that your Sunday was a wonderful & Blessed Day.
HUGS,
Dee

WEDNESDAY & VERY NICE DAY

 Don't be surprised everybody, but there isn't much to say today. I worked on my crafts for a couple of hours & did a few other things.
In the morning I have to get up very early, because I am going with my future DIL & my grandson to the docs about an hour away. We have to leave the house by 8:30am to be there on time. My grandson has had trouble swallowing, so he is going for some kind of therapy. He is so young to be going through this, I am praying & I am so tired of things happening in my family that isn't good things.
Marie, thanks for the ideas for Christmas projects, I have been getting some great ideas for the Holidays to make. I will be doing the HOME letters to sell, but they are a little smaller than the ones I did for myself..
The shadow box that I'm working on with quilling inside, I feel is coming out really nice.
I am going to go to bed & I will be back tomorrow, I hope you will too.
Have a Wonderful & Blessed Day tomorrow.
HUGS,
Dee

TUESDAY, A LITTLE CHILLY, BUT A SUNNY DAY

Not too much going on today, I had planned on going out but a check that I deposited from Medicare on Friday hasn't cleared yet. I wanted to pick up my meds & I had a few things to still get at AC Moore for the things that I am making, but I want to only make one trip out. So I will wait until I can do everything in one day.
See I like to save gas & since one store is on my way to the other one, it makes more sense to me to do it all in one outing. Plus I am not the type of person to run out everyday, I like being home & doing things around  the house.
I worked on some quilling ideas this evening for one of the frames that I was painting yesterday & I have to say what I did tonight really came out very nice. I hope when I finally finish it & it's put all together Y'all will like the finished project too.
I am very grateful for having 8 followers so far, but I just wish I would hear from all of you. When I did the HOME DECOR WEEK I thought more of you would of left me a comment.
So please everybody what would you like to see on my blog? Any suggestions anyone? Come on, I know you have something on your mind that you would like to see if I can make it or not. I will be checking to see if anybody has any ideas.
I am also worried about my two friends that always leave a comment, are you both OK? I'm hoping that you have been just busy & that you ladies are just fine.
Hope that everybody had a Wonderful & Blessed Day.
HUGS,
Dee

MY MONDAY WAS WARM WITH A THUNDER STORM LATE IN THE DAY

I am sooo bad because I got up so very late today. Sorry to keep on complaining, but I was aching so bad it's  like I can predict the weather. I just couldn't motivate myself, then around 2pm our neighbor who recently moved away, stopped in for a short visit. She had back surgery a little over a week ago & she came back with a friend to pick up some more of her things. It was so great to see her, because she will be missed as our neighbor. I told her that I feel her pain, because she was cut across her tummy & the docs put in pins & replaced a couple of discs.
I had all my discs replaced, since mine were all deteriorated, I have 2 rods, one on each side of my spine & also a few bolts & screws. I bet I can tune in & get some music with all the metal in my back. So I do know the pain that she is in, it's an awful pain. Even though her surgery wasn't as involved as mine & she was only in the hospital a week, any kind of back surgery, a person will always have some kind of effects afterwards.
Later in the day, I worked on my wooden things & base coated 3 frames, since I have all the painting done on the larger birdhouse & the 2 mini birdhouses.
Now the next step for the birdhouses is to glue the decorative papers to them. I found some very pretty papers to coordinate with the paint. Then I would like to do some quilling on them, a bird, some moss, then I should be done with these.
I apologize for being such a ninny LOL, because I was so excited about making these craft items to put in my sons shop, I forgot to take pics of them before, when they were unfinished. But I think that you will be able to visualize what they looked like when they were just plain pine. SORRY FOR MY BRAIN FORGETTING.



This is a pic before I put the paper on, this will show you what they look like so far & the paper that I picked out. It probably doesn't look that great yet, but I hope when they are finished they will look good enough to sell & I am also showing the backs so you can see the unfinished wood.
I have to go back to AC Moore to pick up a few things that I will need, but I am waiting for a check that I deposited on Friday to clear, so I have enough $$$ to purchase these extra things. Then I will be done with the birdhouses to show you & to put aside until I finish some more craft items to take to the shop.
Hope your day was as nice as mine.
Have a Wonderful & Blessed Day tomorrow.
HUGS,
Dee

IT'S VERY LATE SUNDAY EVENING

It's very late Sunday evening & I had another busy day. I did get out of bed very late, because I was aching so bad. I woke up to my baby grandson laughing in my face. I missed him so much & it was so nice to see his happy little face. When I finally got out of bed I had a cup of coffee, took a shower & then I started doing things that needed to be done around the house. I needed to get laundry done, but had to wait until Steven got back from the store to give me my bottle of detergent that I asked him to pick up for me. By the time I got 4 loads of laundry done with the help of my hubby, because it is impossible to take the wet heavy laundry out of the washer by myself, I just can't lift it, cause it pulls on my back.
After we had dinner, dishes got done, clothes were folded & put away, I was exhausted. I laid down to watch my favorite shows, got so sleepy then realized I hadn't posted anything on my blog.
First I looked to see if I had any comments & read the one I got from my friend Marie, I about cried, because she always says the kindness & sweetest things to me. I never realized that she wonders what I am up to during my day & I sure know that somehow, someway we will finally meet some day. And Marie always remember one thing when you are sad & that is all the good memories that you treasured with your son, like I do with my boys & now my grandchildren. Bless you Marie.
Well tomorrow I will get back to my crafting & maybe a little baking if I have enough time. So I hope everybodys' Sunday was a Wonderful & Blessed Day, because the weather here where I live was beautiful & my day was good.
See Y'all soon.
HUGS,
Dee
