Dreaming of Summer Cuff.......Flowers from Atlanta Botanical



 Happy Saturday to You!!!

We had such a beautiful
day here in Atlanta. It
must have reached over 80
with low humidity. This is my
favorite time of year here in
GA. The trees are in bloom
with spring blossoms of white
pink, purple and magenta.

I wanted to share with you a pretty
cuff bracelet I had made for my neighbor's
birthday this week. The beautiful blue
bead on it is a vintage glass bead that
I found a few months ago. The blue
color of this bead reminds me of
a beautiful summers day. I added a silver
shell button, a peridot bead, a milky
turqouise bead and a MOP button with
a cobalt bead sewn on the top. I used
some of my beautiful blue yarns for
some texture and color. The base is
from my creamy satin brocade fabric
that is sewn onto a creamy grograin ribbon.
Two little round velcro discs keep
it together on the wrist. My friend
loved it!!

Wishing you abundant Blessings in your Life.


Love Always

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....
