Playing with Hearts....Instant Sweetness!

Hi Dear Friends,

I am still crocheting little hearts!

I finally visited a yarn shop here
in my hometown this past
Saturday. It is called the Whole
Nine Yarns!! He he cute name huh?

Anyway I was walking around and
saw this lovely shade of pink
cotton crochet yarn.
If you can see it has little
sparkles mixed in the yarn as well.

I made the heart and thought what
a lovely idea to incorporate it into
jewelry! So I whipped out my
silver necklace chaining and
cut it to a length I would like
to wear it,  attached a silver
rhinestone heart to it and in the middle
added a ribbon rose I made eons
ago. 

Viola'...Instant sweetness!!

Hope you all are staying warm
and safe!!

Warm Hugs,

Susan
xxoo

    Hello my dear friend. I got my package yesterday. I was excited to open it around some friends, they were in awe like me. I want to thank you for thinking of me, I have thought of you as well and a little something will be on it's way. The season for all swaps has opened up my creative arts side and it has given me a chance to see what I can do. Take care of yourself and I hope the weather has not been to much of a ordeal for you and your family,,,,,,,,,many hugs and love. MARY

    Hi Susan, what wonderful hearts you are creating in this month of love... I hope you are feeling better again. It's been hard with the fast and furious weather changes here in Georgia. It was actually in the low 70's two days ago and today it's only in the mid 40's! Hugs, Silke

    It is snowing here. Can you believe it. Not something we see here very often but more in the last few years than ever.
    Your heart is precious. As always I love coming by here to see what your doing.
    I entered the One World One Heart that is going on right now so if you feel like it come by and put your name in the hat.
    Also there are hundreds of sites doing it. My number is 745. Not to late for you to do it ....you can giveaway one of these hearts.
    My phone charger is not working so when it is safe to try and walk to my car I will charge it there in case you might call
    Love

    Thank you so very much for your sweet thoughts and prayers for my son and daughter. I can not say anything except that the Lord will bless you for your compassion toward me. It was so precious to see a familiar face and know I have your prayers. I KNOW the Lord will see us through this time with so many praying. It was a good time to post, don't ya' think? People from around the world praying....it couldn't get any better than that..love you,
    Sharon

    Hey sweet Susan
    So happy you came by for a visit today! I figured u have been trying to get a hold of me.
    Your not going to believe this because I find it hard to believe myself but my durn cell phone is not letting me charge. lol
    Have you ever know someone who has had more trouble with a cell phone than this ole woman.
    I miss talking to you and my kids too. Christi sent me an email asking what was up.
    Anyway Clint looked at it when he was here and he could not figure out if it was the phone or the charge so I will take it in to a Sprint store hopefully on Friday when I go to the pain doctor in Bryan. I swore I was not going back to that store. lol
    Hope your well and staying warm. Girl I thought I would not survive the weather last week and turns out it is back again today. Highs today was maybe 30 around 11 and just keeps going down now. haha
    When I saw those flowers today in an email I thought I should show them since we are all wishing for spring.
    Thanks for the lovely comment about my grandmother. I never knew anyone quite like her. So sweet and kind. You seem to be like her now that I think about it maybe that is why we get along so good. lol
    Hopefuly we can talk soon.
    Stay well and warm
    Gretchen and I have a thing to go to in Austin tomorrow about writing but I don't see how with the temps so low but I have a feeling we will be on the road.
    Love ya
    Maggie

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....
