Heaven has a new Angel

One of my dearest friends that I have online passed away suddenly on Thanksgiving of a heart attack. I am so saddened by this loss! Linda was also our team leader our our Etsy forum "Old Farmhouse Gathering". She will be greatly missed by all. I know I miss her already.

Thanksgiving

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! Be safe!

Veteran's Day

I just want to take this time to remember and thank all the past, present and future Veteran's!

THANK YOU & GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!

My order from Shari!!

Good Monday afternoon!! Not much has been going on around here the last week. Visited GW, nothing! I go into Omaha tomorrow for an Echo and then lunch with a friend. After that, I may go to the Salvation Army store that is in the area I will be in. I always have luck there. Just don't go very often cuz it is a bit of a drive. But since I'll be in the area...lol!!

I wanted to show you all the items that I ordered from Shari and received last week. Just click on her name to go to her site. She has some awesome stuff and it is all very well made!!





Whale tail shelf

Well I hope everyone has a great week, I may be back after my visit to the thrift store with pictures!!

Just a bunch of misc. talking!!

Hello all! Been awhile since I have been here. Had some health issues last week and I'm still kind of recovering from that. I have A-Fib but haven't had an incident since '06. I woke up last Wednesday morning and I could feel that I just wasn't right so I went to my heart doc. After an EKG, I was told that my heart was giving an extra beat. So off to the lab I go, bunch of blood work which all came out normal, and then I ended up having to wear a heart monitor for 24 hours. It was showing that I was having this extra beat about every 2 hours that day. Yesterday's follow-up EKG was normal so we aren't sure what kicked that into happening. They did increase my heart meds so hopefully that won't happen again. Now on to some other things.

The following 2 pictures are of my grandson with his new bike that he got when he was here this last time.





Have any of you been to Gordman's lately? They have a lot of prim stuff...yes, I know, it's made in China but these crocks and jugs that I got are probably the only kind of ones that I will be able to afford...lol.





And then some other things that I got there. Someday I hope to be able to learn that blanket stitch that is used on the tags and mitten.





My last visit to Goodwill didn't produce anything...I'm sooooo disappointed!!

I did finally get some of those re-do's done. I love my spoon rack!





That's pretty much it around here. Still working on some cross-stitch pieces. I have 3 little tucks/pinkeeps done but those will be used for the OFG Holiday Celebration which starts next week.

I'll sign off with a picture of my cat...Spaz. She's giving me that warning look to not take her picture...lol!!



Everyone have a great rest of the week. Stay warm! It's going to get cold and rainy here again starting tomorrow!
