My Crazy Quilt purse and Flowers....

 Hi Friends,


I wanted to show you the progress I am making with my crazy quilt accessory purse I am making with the class at Artful Gathering this summer.

I attached the clasp with beads, but still have to do
the back of the clasp. I love that I added the beaded
fringe on the bottom of the bag. It matches so well!

This is the first time I ever made anything like this.
I was a bit nervous about making this, but glad I pushed
myself to take on the challenge.
 I will also add a silver chain at the top of the clasp, as ther are two little holes on either side for that purpose.

I took some closeup shots of the floral arrangement my family had sent to me.





 I loved how the dappled light of the sun shown through the blinds upon the flowers and leaves.


Nature is a symphony directed by it's creator.


I wish you All a wonderful day with Love and Kindness

Susan

    Hello my dear friend, I am so glad to hear from you. I have been backing off of blogging just for the summer. I have been trying to keep up with the yard and having my little shop open on the weekends if at all possible. I hope you get to feeling better soon! Is this your fibro? I am doing fine, I just have fits every now in then with my allergies and asthma. The projects you are working on are just beautiful I would love to make a quilted purse or bag some day. The quilt you see on my headed is a Antique one I wish I did make it. I still am working on a lap quilt I am hand quilting it and it is just about 3/4 done. Thanks for stopping by for a visit I to think of you always. XO Mary

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....
