MUCH GOING ON IN OUR FAMILY NOW !!

 

TOO MUCH  FOR COMFORT !!

SON IN LAW. JOHN, WAS LAYED OFF

FROM CISCO IN ATLANTA.

HAS A TEMP JOB AT COKE IN ATLANTA BUT IT PAYS NO BENEFITS AND IS ONLY TEMPORARY.

HE HAS BEEN OFFERED A PERMANENT JOB IN VIRGINIA.

THAT INVOLVES A MOVE AND THEY NEED TO SELL THEIR HOUSE IN ATALANTA.

SO OUR FAMILY DEFINITLY NEEDS “ BIG TIME” PRAYERS FROM ALL.

MELISSA, IN KENTUCKY, NEEDS A JOB.

SO OUR FAMILY IS KINDA  IN  STRESS NOW.. IF YOU COULD TAKE A MOMENT AND PRAY FOR US.

WE WOULD DEFINETLY APPRECIATE IT !!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG IN MICHIGAN

 

THAT IS… UNTIL IT STARTED RAINING… OR POURING…

THEN IT WENT BACK TO COOL WEATHER AGAIN !!!

WELL I’m gonna join this

Sewing thingy”

I’ve ordered me 4 yards of

fabric called “  Fingerpaint” and if it is as pretty as the picture… I’m gonna love it.

First , I have to find just the right

pattern for me… no frills, no ruffles, no prissy looking pattern..

You get the picture !!

I ain’t showin’ no pictures of this old lady but when I get the  dress made, I May, ( that means I might and I might not) show it.

So be watching for the unveiling.

was looking for a picture of a dress that is “ me” but there ain’t one. !!!

so  you” ll just have to wait..

 

Sad news !!

Deb’s husband ( John ) is in hospital  in Georgia.

He started having swelling in legs and then it went up to his body and on up in his face.. went to emergency room and they atmitted him to hospital.

It got real red and clear blisters.

The emergency room attendant

said it looked like some disease

but at hospital they think it is a

reaction from a medication..

It’s affecting his kidneys.. tomorrow a specialist is going to

do a test for the kidneys.

He isn’t hurting or itching as bad now but still not good.

We ask  for anyone to pray for

him that they can find out the cause.

so I’ll leave you with that bit of sad news and hope tomorrow will be lots of improvement.!!

 

lots of lovin’

005

oh my, this is one of my favorites.

there’s a story behind this doll.

See, I bought this pattern  some time ago and then I lost it… Ya’ know I got TONS AND TONS  of patterns.

I wanted to make this doll and I hunted and hunted and could not find this pattern..

So I was on facebook and I told my pitiful story and I whined and pouted…. so I get this email from Maureen Mills ,

(who made the pattern )

and what do ya’ know.. she says she’s sendin’ me a new pattern,  and best of all , she says Maurine  it’s free.)

oh  my word !!  She is the sweetest thing..

 

so here’s the doll, story and all.

 

ok  here’s the last one for today !!

DSCN0143_465She’s my black mammy and I love her.

She has on a black background dress with little colored hearts on it..

Now her apron and bonnet  is a

pink with off white flowers on it.   Her face is sculptured.

She is a sweetie  and I love her too.

I guess that’s enough ramblin’ for today , so I’ll say good night and more later.
