WEDNESDAY, WHAT A BEAUIFUL DAY

Hello everyone, it is a beautiful day here in PA.. I got up very early just couldn't sleep, so I made another card. I really should get more than one done a day, but I have a situation with my craft supplies. I work out of my master bedroom which is a very small room. I can't leave all my craft supplies out when I am done & the table that I work on is a snack tray which I put next to my bed. By the time I get everything setup, I'm too exhausted to do a lot of crafting. I know that it might not sound like a big deal, but with my health problems it makes it harder for me. I want to be able to craft more than I do & I asked my dh if he would help me change things around, so maybe I can get to my supplies a little easier. His answer was we will see, so who knows what that means LOL
I was wondering if anybody has any ideas or projects to post, cause I would love to see what you have made. I am hoping for more comments from more of my followers, come on & join in.
I hope your day is going well as expected. Let me know what you think about my card. I used some more of the quilled flowers that I had made recently. ENJOY!
Have a Wonderful & Blessed Day

TUESDAY, BETTER DAYS ARE COMING

Hello everyone, today is a much better day for me. I got a good nights sleep, got up very early got some things done & even had time to make another card for all to see.
Thank you so much Terrie for all your kind thoughts. How are you making out with the plastic canvas project? Are you able to do it with your pain & is the pain getting any better? I think about you everyday. I have another close friend that lives in Mass. & she's so far away from me like you for us to visit. She has been going through a lot too. Why is it when someone needs a good friend to be near, they live so far apart. It is always good to have a friend that will be there for you even if you don't live close, but that would be even better.
Anyway I hope your day has gone well so far & I will be back tomorrow. Hope you like this card & it will bring a smile to someones face. I used one of the quilled flowers & leaves that I made last week. The card says   AUTUMN   FIND JOY IN THE LITTLE THINGS.  I cut out a frame where the flower is & the other pic is of the inside.
I hope you will have a Wonderful & Blessed Day.
HUGS,
Dee
PS. SORRY ABOUT THE LITTLE SMEAR OF GLUE BY THE STEM. I GUESS THIS CARD WILL STAY IN MY STASH. SEE WE ALL MAKE A BOO BOO SOMETIMES, BUT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. BUT YOU KNOW WHEN I LOOK AT THE CARD IT IS AS NOTICIABLE AS IN THE PHOTO. MY CAMERA MUST BE A SENSITIVE ONE LOL

MONDAY, A NEW DAY & A NEW WEEK

Well here it is Monday & you are probably wondering what happen to me for the past two days. I got up early Saturday morning not really feeling that good, but I knew that I was suppose to watch my grandson. His mom dropped him off around 8:30 am. Thank goodness he was sleepy, so him & I took a little nap. He didn't sleep long, but it helped me somewhat. Then I decided to take him for a nice long walk for fresh air for the both of us & I thought also that it would make me feel better if I got out of the house. Unfortunately when we returned I felt worse & every part of me ached. So we both had another nap & I'll tell you by the time his mom came to pick him up around 2pm, even though he was so good, I couldn't wait to get back into bed. I just couldn't believe how awful I felt. Well to make a long story short, I was sick all day Sunday too & didn't get out of bed until around 3pm. I don't know what I had but I felt like someone had beat me up.
I am feeling much better this morning, still with little or no energy & I can't believe I wasted a whole beautiful weekend like that. I am hoping as my day goes on I will start to feel better & get something accomplished,
Since I haven't created anything new for the past three days, I put my mind in create mode early this morning  & designed this quick little card for you. It isn't too detailed in design, but I felt I had to make something for my followers to see. Hope you enjoy it.
I want to thank my good friend Terri for being so concerned about me & I hope that your plastic canvas creation is going well for you. Gee, I haven't done that for about 10 years & I always loved it because there were so many different things that you can make with plastic canvas from a flat design with texture to a 3 dimensional design. You really got me thinking now & I really hope that you will post your finished design on my blog for all of us to see. I pray for you each day for you to be without pain, it's not a fun thing to have.
May Y'all have a Wonderful & Blessed Day.
HUGS,
Dee

HERE IT IS FRIDAY ALREADY.

Gee I can't believe that Friday is here already, the week just seems to fly by.
I am very sorry but I didn't get anything done today, I just haven't been feeling good. No energy, very tired & my body aches. I hope that I'm not coming down with the flu.
I did talk to my 2 little granddaughters on the phone today, they are so darn cute  & tomorrow I am suppose to watch my grandson.
I am truely sorry for no pics to show you.

I will be back tomorrow & hoping that I will be feeling much better, so I can be productive & create something. I just hate it when I feel that I have wasted a whole day & didn't accomplish anything.
As I was growing up my mom always said to me that BUSY HANDS ARE HAPPY HANDS.
So that's why I feel the way I do when I haven't done anything.
Does that make sense to anyone else?
Now I know that I do have people stopping by to checkout my blog everyday & I thank you all for that, but what I am wondering is
why don't you leave a comment or show me your work. I would be very pleased to see what you have created. The whole idea of my blog is to show what I do each day & to inspire other crafters to show their crafts & leave comments.
Come on show me what interest you in this crafty world. Since my blog isn't just about one craft & more about several crafts, this blog is opened to all crafters.
I hope that Y'all had a Wonderful & Blessed Day.
HUGS,
Dee
