My Blissfull ATC Swap for February...Our Theme was "LOVE" .......

Dear Friends,
                                                                        

First let me thank All
of you who had sent get
well wishes for my Mom.
She is not coughing near
as much today so thats
a very good sign!!
I am feeling better too
so thank you again!

This is the ATC that
I made for my swap buddy
for February.

I thought I would iron
the little girl transfer
onto some silk fabric,
which worked out well.
I then made a little quilt
sandwich with some
batting and thin cotton
for the backing.
I  then sewed all the way
around and also added
some ruched pink
ribbon around the border.
I then attached the
little puffy picture bundle
to a pink satin background.
I added a couple of
embellishments too.












I also made a little ATC
Fabric book holder.
I has inside a couple of
pockets for little love
notes and the other side
to hold the ATC!!                                                     



I think it's all so cute!
Nicole my partner likes it as well.
I will share Nicole's ATC
when I receive it.

I hope you all are keeping
warm, safe and healthy!!

All of You are
Blessings!!

Love,

    Wonderful gifts, reminds me of the fabric book you made for me although I admit to liking my own better, since I'm not exactly a pink sort of gal. Good work Susan!

    Oh wow!!! Where did you come from? Thank you for reading my very loooooooong post. Hahahah! I had to fess up. My sisters and brothers still do not know. I told them to read the truth. Hah! You are so sweet to patiently read my story and I appreciate your comment. I would love to read your stories about dragonflies.

    I hope your mother is getting better and what a cake your neighbor gave her for her birthday. I agree, cake is a basic food group. It belongs to the class of Happiness!

    Love you ATCs, so dainty.

    Nice meeting you!

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
