Romancing in Purple "Cuff"

Hi Dear Friends,

Just wanted to share this
sweet little cuff that I
made for a special
family member recently.

She loves purple and
magenta so I wanted
to make something with
her favorite colors in mind.
I love making cuffs so much.
I think the juxtaposition
between wearable art
and that one of a kind
piece that no one else
is wearing is what
I like the most about
fabric cuffs.

The rose colored fabric
under the ribbon rose
is pure silk...it is so
delicate and so very soft.
The pearls are a lovely
dusty rose like the ribbon.
The cuff is made with
cream lace and a cream
grograin ribbon. It has
a velcro closure attached.

This picture does not pay
it justice...it's much prettier
in person.

Well my dears I am hoping
that all of you are enjoying a
very lovely Saturday.

Love to All,

Susan

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....
