why i am thankful
i am writing this tonight in honor of those around me who have not been as blessed as myself, while i don't have alot of money(who does), i have my freedom to say what i want, i have my family for without them where would i be. i have my wonderful friends who without i would never make it, to you especially donna and fran and jess, i am very thankful for you all. i guess tonight i am feeling a bit down, i have heard that my uncle who i adore, his cancer has returned, and that while i did not know it, he moved to las vegas to be near his daughter and her family. i am sad, as i was not given the chance to say goodbye, but what is goodbye anyways, who says goodbye? shouldn't we say godspeed, i send them on their way with gods blessings, so uncle ron, i hope your happy tonight. i am sorry i did not get to see you. maybe of we make it to vegas this summer can come and see you.



on other notes, i am very happy jess got her package, still waiting to hear if sonia got hers. where would 2 big boxes full of yarn go, somewhere its floating around in postal hell. i mailed it may 24th, today is june 20th. almost a month. grrrrrrrrrr, so sonia dear, will soon be blending more yarn for you, should you want anything special please let me know. where ya at anyways girl.

i know that most people think the po is awesome, i at this time, am truly PISSED!!!!

i already have the chenille yarn i just bought spoken for, but have lots of cakes of other chenilles and other yarns for sale, tomorrow am going to blend more together and hopefully will have the pics with the prices posted soon.

on that happy little note am off to make my dear man something to eat. he is hungry again, and then have some chemo hats to make. am making a couple for josh, whos mom is one of our members of crochetville. josh is 18 and a true insperation to me. so tonight will be spending more time crocheting and less time surfing or blogging the web.


hope ya all had a great weekend, its not all that warm here today, but weather peeps tell me it soon will get warmer. can we say sunshine and ice tea?

i am so ready for some nice weather. my garden is slowly growing, if the stupid crows and raccoons and itsy would leave it alone. i planted 12 corn plants, we have 7 left and of those 7 they are non in very good shape. hoping the seeds i planted will soon sprout and then once again will have to deal with the stupid crows. i swear they do it to torment me,

tomorrow am dedicating my day to finishing my craft room, it has to be no mercy on it now as i have truly ran out of room. priscilla z pm me at the ville i want to know if you want more yarn or not, and when we can meet to give it to you


oh i also have to brag about the goodies i got yesterday at the joanns which is going out of business. it is now closed, but yesterday everything was 95% off on one side and 85% on the other. you could buy material only if you bought the whole bolt, and while most was not my kind of material as it is moe for suits ect. i looked around and found a bolt of denim that has a print on it that looks like a snake skin,. but is all blue. well there was 8 yards they said, actually had almost 10 when i measured it, and i payed the grand price of 4.00 for the bolt. that was 50 cents a yard hehe, then i also in my search, found some brown cordaroy, with chamoflaug like prints on it, there was 5 yards they said
i counted almost 7 when i measured it,and for that i got it for 2.50 less than 50 cents a yard. i also found a pair of knitting needles that are made by lions brand(expensive normally) for 50 cents, all told i spent a grand total of less than 30 dollars there, i got some needlpoint kits, some quilted sets for a small lapquilt and a pillow. selling normally for 11.00 at joanns on clearence. once again 50 cents. hehehe i love bargains don't you, now to figure out what to make. i know it was a impulse buy, but i truly have ideas for the materials and some of the rest i plan on reselling for a discount for the buyer, while making me a little money hehe.


i have to laugh listening to hubby. is the 5th game of the nba finals and he wanted dallas to win, but dallas screwed up big time, i am staying out of this one big time baby!!!!!i guess it means gary paton who for years played for the seattle sonics, will be getting a ring this time LOLah life is strange sometimes. well until tomorrow dear friends. i bid you adeu. and god bless and keep you. keep crafting, i want to see results soon LOL hugggggs

warning rant ahead
i am so mad tonight, as you all know, 4th of july is drawing near, and while i love watching fireworks as much as the next person, i do NOT appreciate having my kittys scared out of their whits by some over zealous moron who does not know the calender date , and that while my babies are contained on the 4th as they really freak out, they should not have to be kept in a frigging cage cause someone idiot decideds he wants to blow his finger off or whatever. give it a rest please. every year it gets earlier and earlier for the fireworks, while i love them as i said, i don't want my babies having heart attacks and dying cause your being stupid. so for those of you out there who are doing it in my area, PLEASE FREAKING WELL STOPPPPPPPPPPP, otherwise will have to hunt you down like the dirty dawg you are and see how well you like listening to the sounds of screetching cats on a tape for hours and hours. and yes i would do that believe me, in a heart beat. course this might be after i turn your scrawny rear ends in for shooting illigal fireworks. kk enough said. hopefully if anyone is doing this reads this,. they will understand. is not fair to our fur babies. itsy was so stressed as soon as i picked her up to comfort her, she bit me and bit me hard, not no love nip with kisses later, nope she chomped right down big time
and baby who is going to be 11 this year, she was petrified and found a cubby hole under my car which she would not budge, if i see it happening, believe me it will not be for long.


alright rant over lol



am working on teresa's belt, we are swapping each other, she made a purse, i wanted a new purse, i am making a belt, she wants a belt/ hey it works for us.thats another idea my buddy donna and i are going to do with each other. we both need cheering up for different reasons and have decided to treat each other to a small suprise at least once a month. for june we are going to do bookmarks hehehehehe,. boy do i have a good one fo you in my mind, just need to make it happen girl.

did your mother ever do this to you?: major vent ahead
i was wondering all of you nice moms out there, did you ever have to track your child down by calling a list of numbers. tonight i had to do just that. i tried and tried to get ahold of my daughter all evening, she never leaves me numbers that she is going to be at, so i thought and thought about how i could find her. by the way she is fine, and it dawned on me, my cell bill, it lists every number she calls. so i started looking through the numbers, found several that were called multiple times
amd then looked at the times, now i know she calls her "boy" friend(is just a friend she claims) late at night and same with him to her, so i called that number. well a girl answered the phone sounded just like my dd, odd i know, but i played along anyways, i told the girl i was kristys mom and that i was looking for her as i was worried. she has to get up and go to work at 3:30 , its now 12:45, she just walked in the door. well i told her i had tried to call her and find her as we were worried, well of course she went crazy and said don't you ever ever do that to me again
ect ect ect. i said then don't force me to. i swear that i am about ready to kick her butt out the door, she has no regards for her dad and i and is more involved with her friends than anyone. its sad as we did not bring her up like that. well now i got that out of my chest , i will not be rambling on over and over till tomorrow, got thru that. while i know she is now mad as a wet hen at me, i shall ignore her and continue to use whatever means i need to make sure she is alright. i know she is supposed to be a adult, but i think a adult should have more compassion and caring for her family, and i feel she has a long ways to do.. so if i have to call people at midnight to find her, i will, can ou blame me, wouldn't you want to know where your child is when you have called her over and over and no answer. i am hoping that tomorrow when she has a chance to settle down, that she will listen to her dad and me. we need to come to some kind of arrengment, i can't take this much more. thanks for letting me vent huggggs

hey ya all major rant ahead
sorry have not been blogging for a while, things have just been crazy. had some problems with itsy the first of last week and have been running around helping her too. and a bunch of other boring stuff hehe

i am so upset with the united states post office, see i am a complete dunder head and forgot to get tracking numbers on a few of the packages i sent out. and now these same packages are missing, although should they never be found i will certainly remake the packages and resend them to the people getting them it still burns my rear end to think that somehow the usps lost huge boxes of things with postage worth over 50.00. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

now on to better things, see how easy i am to get along with. i will be posting some yarns i have for sale this week and if you are interested please let me know, brandy i know you are and will show you first choice.

its been a nasty rainy few days and i am getting kind of fed up with the weather. it seems to be raining most of the time(although today we were blessed with a semi dry day and were able to bbq)

i am in the process of making a friend a belt(you know who you are don't ya love!!!) is one of th few things i have not really made a lot of and am not finding it all that hard. also doing some comfort ghan sq and also i need to finish the blankies for Ro. almost done with them and that made 2 of them done. hope it helps some one.

well its 1:47 am and am off to hit the bed, snooze time is drawing near and since i have to get up in a litte more than 3 hours is pretty tiring(hubby leaves for work, then i usually try and go back tobed but seldom make it


hoping to blog more tomorrow, missed ya all, i need to read some blogs too, today has just been harder for some reason. am just tired i guess
so to all of you from me, god bless and keep you, and also please keep my family in your prayersl my siblings and i are having a rough time right now, thanks for all of your kindness and caring. without you all where would i be. love ya all
