Faithful and Loyal to the end

This is Lobo...she has been with our family for around 15 years. Today, she joined my Lar...I just know that he was calling to her as she crossed over..I can just hear him saying "Hobo, Hobo, Hobo...Hows my Lobo"....She would always great us at the door wagging her tail...that is until the last few years....she had what is called "doggie dementia"... she would act like she did not know where she was or what she was doing...mostly blind, could hardly stand up...you can see it in her face...I took this picture yesterday..... She was a good and faithful doggie........we all miss her so much already.

Heart Hugs,

Angel Friends

I took these pictures in my backyard yesterday ... and I got to thinking about Angels......I know they are here guiding me and you....seen and unseen. I just had to have this lil saying when I saw it at the garden store....it speaks volumes to me

this a quote I recieved in my email this morning really touched my heart:

True friendship is at the core of any happy life. If our family is our root system, our friends are our fellow branches. We're all striving together, supporting one another, providing shade and comfort.~ Addie Johnson

I am blessed to say that my friendship branches are growing...some have been there a long while and some are just starting to sprout and grow...some broke off and some are growing back...

Thank you for hanging in there my Earth Angel Friends...

I met a new friend in Blogland....Griselda. What a beautiful name! Her timing was perfect when she reached out to me...then, she sent me these wonder-filled gifts...she said they were "seeds of creativity"...a nudge to get me creating again...and believing in me. Just look at these fabulous faces she sculpts..they are beads!...

and all this gorgeous fabric....love the colors!!

wings.......ofcourse......she knew exactly what I needed...wings to lift my spirit

and these wee dolly dress are so dear......they may get altered,tho!!!

here is her card..blogger flipped it sideways..I tried to turn it... anyway, I hope you visit her blog and web site !

and last, but not least..this is one of the most beautiful Spirit Dolls I have laid my eyes on..my pictures do not do it justice..she made this with such love ...you can feel it...I will cherish this and your kindness forever Dear One!

Who do you know that has a Faithful Heart?

My heart has been Faithfully waiting for me to get back to creating...My Lar said this is part of "who I AM"...and creating these wrist cuffs have truly been a very healing time for me as well...thinking about the heart message that will go inside every cuff encourages me to realize how very fortunate I am to really know how it felt and still feels to have been so loved for over 30 yrs.

these delightful one of a kind cuffs have a secret message for you or a loved one on the inside ..the message on this one is "Faithful Heart"....HandMade wearable art inspired by Romance, Victorian , and even a little SteamPunk!! It begins with a srumptious velvet base and adorned with old lace, vintage rhinestones, buttons and trims...Will arrive snuggled inside its own little treasure box, hand painted by me. This one and more can be found in my Etsy Shop.

A Gift from my Love

so, guess where I am? I am with my very dear friend Debbie.(notice the orbs??) ..we are at...

the Doobie Brothers Concert!

Lar had bought the tickets for us in April...he really wanted to go,but, it wasn't to be.

So, I asked Debbie to go and we had a grand time..the guy sitting next to her had too much to drink and smoke, so we giggled a bit about that! The sax player was awesome!

this dude reminded us of Willy Nelsons brother......he was good,too!

I was really torn about going, but, thought it was a gift from my Lar and i feel he would have wanted me to go...i swear i could see him there laughing and clapping his hands and havin a great time! I am glad i went and that Debbie was there for me too...she really is a good friend and has helped me thru so much these past few months. I am so blessed!

Symbols of Love

Redefining Who I Am.....

So many changes in my life these past few months...adjustments...not only in my physical home... but, the "home" inside me...my soul..I am getting to know the "new" me little by little...sometimes I freak myself out..sometimes I am overwhelmed..sometimes I am scared...sometimes I am brave...sometimes I smile....and cry tears of joy, like when my friends daughter gave my this wonderfil gift...hands (if you have read my blog) are a very important symbol in my life...I will cherish this little stone forever...

So, speaking of hands...this is what my hands have been doing lately...creating wrist cuffs...this one is on its way to its new home across the land....

and a posy pin to go with the cuff.....I dyed the laces and trims...

I created this one for my SIL ( who helped me more than she could ever possibly know)...

As I created it, an idea was being born ....on the inside of the cuff I wrote.."Soul Sister"and I used an old earring and buttons that I received from our MIL...Larry's Mom

I felt like "Wonder Woman" when I put this cuff on...see the wee wings?..Pow..Zam..Zoom!!

So, this is what my hand, well, my wrist really!...wears now..I mentioned an idea was being born....

Its a "Memory Cuff".....I created this using a cuff from Larry's shirt....kinda looks like a crown in this picture!

I handdyed the laces and dedicated to him on the front

on the back I journaled some thoughts and put a secret message to Larry under his name

So, this is a piece of the new me that is emerging....I wonder what will be revealed to me next...hmmmmm
