Thursdays Musings

  We had to leave our dog Maggie at the Vets Clinic yesterday.  She was really sick Wed AM.  Her white counts are thru the roof and so was her enzymes.  He feels its pancreitis.  They have kept her and on IV's and meds for the infection.   I will know more later this morning.  He feels Friday will be the day that will tell just how all this is working.  We really don't know Maggies true age.  We are assuming she is 9 to 10 yrs of age, but the Vet said she could be older.  She was a pound puppy rescue. Only the puppy was 3 to ? years old.  I just called and they are keeping her today.....still pushing fluids thru her and meds.  We will know more later today.  Its just so quiet around this house without her.  I find myself looking for her in one of her many beds.  Sigh.....we get them then when things happen we say "no more after this".  LOL, that lasts about 3 months at the most.  Its just the love they bring into our lives.  I think they enable us to love in ways we wouldn't.  Mushy Hugs

Continuing Monday

This shows the pile of angels. LOL, the mailman asked if any more boxes of angels were still due and I told him, there sure is! He smiled and just carried the large box up to the
house for me.











This is the current two projects finished for the shop. Both are Kim Klassen patterns. I am in the process of doing more of both pieces, but they will be put away for this years
upcoming shows.

Angels from Washington state

They're here!! The last box of three from Nancy in Washington state.
Now to seal the metal to let it meld. The longer its on before painting
the better the adhesion and less chance of scratches. I couldn't just
spray seal or prime these angels as there are parts like the wings, head
and candle cup that are permanent and I didn't want them sprayed.

I have a class set up with the angels for my chapter, then the others will
be used for shows and for a few door prizes. Thank you Nancy, your an
"Angel" to do this for me. I still have a few more that will be coming later
from Elaine in MD. I will add more to this blog a bit later as I have almost
finished several new things.

Work Ahead......

Boy do I have some work ahead of me. Angel land, some will be painted for sale, others metal sealed for a class in April. Several of Kim Klassen's de-signs to be done. Then there are the birds on top of ornaments of Judy Westegaard's. She has one more to come out in a magazine soon, so I bought the birds for all three. I also have two lamps that came with shades, one burgandy and the other the dark green. Those came from a popular office/workplace catalog a few years back. I bought them for our motorhome and never got them painted over. The stuff on it was just glued on, but they are a nice surface to paint on. Oh, and one of those tin boxes to try out. So I would say my week ahead is going to be busy. Mushy Hugs

Completed Valentine Pillows

Here they are....already to be placed in plastic bags so not to get glitter over everything else around.
I plan on having them in the red basked on display at the shop. Terrye French does such cute designs
for those fast to work up gifts. Well, fast might be pushing it a bit.......I had to get out the sewing machine
and dust it off. Then to find thread, needles, stuffing, why doesn't that stuff stay where it belongs?
Mushy Hugs

These are the finished pieces. Its hard to get the glitter and everything into one picture. Of course my camera doesn't do will with closeups either. Keys, buttons, charms and glitter are all added to the pillow.

Time for Valentines Day

I fell in love with a pattern by Terrye French. Its the sweetest little pillow to place on a bed, dresser, or if ties are added to hang from a door knob. They paint up easy and fast. A neat little project.
