July 2013
Its been some time since i blogged, lots of things have happened and been going on since april, one of the biggest is my hubby retired after 42 years yes 42 years of working for the same employer and as a reward they are going to name a building after him in the complex where he worked how awesome is that!!!
we are adjusting to being together all the time and its nice but sometimes a bit crazy hehe.
while i do have some time to myself not as much as i am use to but again i know it will take time
as for crocheting i have been busy making toys yes toys hehe for some friends on ravely i have made these cute dragons as a swap for yarn i love (like i need more yarn right?) here are a couple pictures of them
i am also of course working on my favorite charity of making hats for people who have suffered from brain trauma and those who have had to have surgery to help fix whatever was wrong here is one i finished recently
and am working on another if anyone wants to help make these you can contact me at this blog and i will tell you where i send them or you can donate at your local hospital if they have a collection site(and if they don't ask if they will set one up)
and lastly i am just enjoying the summer weather and all my beautiful flowers here are some of those for your enjoyment
Happy July :) peace love and happiness to everyone and happy crocheting to those who love it as much as i do :)
i want to scream , i feel horrible and wish i could actually breathe instead of this stuffy nose i have and all the coughing sneezing headache you name it. so if this is a bit of a bummer post so sorry ignore it and i will write a nice one when i feel better HAHAHAHA, although i am dispairing of Evah feeling better , i know all and all it will run its course. need to get into the docs tomorrow and get a antibotic as i have a wicked sinus infection and hate how bad i hurt.
anyways thats todays update im sick and it sucks ciao vicki
HI everyone been a bit since i posted i know but not alot going on to blog about.
Trying to organize the house after bringing so many of our belongings from the other house that son is going to buy, and its sure hard to move from a house the size of that one to this tiny little house under a thousand square feet , actually under 800 sq feet and NOOO storage so i have to get rid of alot of stuff.
I have so many crochet and knit mags and books patterns ect going to sell the ones i dont need or want(will be a lot)so when i finally do get them cataloged and priced will post a link to the numbers and names.
Also yarn and fabric will be for sale. need the room and the money so my loss can be your gain !!!
That said i am dying to go to hobby lobby just to check it out and see what they have, i promise to be good.
I have been making jewelry and crocheting lots of fun things right now am working on a dragon amigarumi and its soooooo cute. I am making it for a friend in Toronto and she loves dragons and asked if i could make her one. i said sure no problem.
The sun is shining today and that makes me happy, been a long cold winter and am ready for some nice weather, suppose to hit 70 tomorrow which is awesome must find my shorts and tank tops
Hope your day is going good and will leave you with some awesome pictures Enjoy and have a fantastic day hugs from me to you :)
Happy St Patricks Day to you all, may your day be filled with fun and happiness and lots of good irish food and of course beer if u drink it lol,
have not blogged in a while but wanted to wish you a happy day hugs and love from our house to yours vicki
Year started out same way old one left, good and bad things but try to focus only on the good things
Want to wish each and everyone one of you a happy new years and my hopes and goals this year are to do more crocheting to help others. have sooo much yarn i dont need or use so may have a contest with the winner getting a box of yarn that they can use to help others. let me get that set up on my brain then here on my blog and will let u know when its ready.
SO get your thinking hats on let me know what u think of this idea, i am thinking that it will be something like the winner who has the best use of it for charity will win if there are several different ones we can have a drawing to see who wins. i think we should make it a judging by the people and only can vote once but has to be to help charity what ya think? send me your thoughts and will try and get it set up asap. yarn will be cotton or acrylic and will be a medium sized flat rate box. because of cost unless the winner is willing to help with shipping internationally will be a usa only contest(sorry but i can't spend 50 for shipping a box this size somewhere besides usa) let me know your thoughts and we will do it have fun be good and behave especially lol (i know not as much fun but need to do that sometimes lol) hugs and love vicki
ps winner will also receive a surprise from me for them only hugs and love vicki

today had some very sad news, our neighbors kitty precious little romo was found dead this morning.
we had been very worried as he was not at morning feeding for the last 2 days and no one had seen him.
he was a precious little cross eyed bundle of love, he loved everyone and everyone loved little romo. his mommy found him i believe have not had a chance to talk to her but from what my daughter said she told her that he looked normal , not like he had been hit by a car or something. we may never know what killed him but i am worried about the other kitties both theirs and ours.
RIP little romo your with merwyn and riley, boo boo and ickabod, and snow flake too. watch over your brothers little one and help us find out what happened to you. you are missed and l love you little one and i will never forget you sweetie RIP
fair warning this is a angry post
so here is the my story, a couple years ago the state of washington decided they needed to stick their nose in the lives of people who suffer from chronic pain. if you take more than a certain amount of the meds (strength wise) you need to see a pain specialist. so in april my doc sent me to a pain clinic where the docs there agreed that the meds i take are safe for me and agreed for the doc to give me.
fast forward a couple months my doc who had been giving me the meds decided to quit his practice and go to work for the VA. so where does this leave me back to going to the pain clinic. WHILE i don't mind seeing the pain doc, i certainly did not expect the responce i got from him.
went to see him on the 29th of june and his statement to me was so shocking that i am a mess still.
according to him the meds i take are "dangerous" for me to continue, that they can "kill" me if i continue to take them at the dose i am taking. so he told me he is going to wean me off the meds and i will be magically fixed with no more pain. that the meds are whats causing my pain i am like what the hell is he talking about.
i have been off these meds before and they are NOT what are causing it so now i will be without any meds to deal with the pain, he wants to give me anti depressants which supposidly are so wonderful(all they did was cause more problems when i took them before.
i had a severe reaction to the meds and i refuse to take any more of them) and he also wants to put me on anti seizure meds(I DON'T HAVE SEIZURES) which are suppose to help with nerve pain.i tried them they did not help and caused me to gain 20 pounds i refuse to take that crap too, so his last resort is steroid shots again not doing it they dont last they dont work and are painful and expensive where does that leave me screwed i am not a happy person right now wish me lots of luck cause i need it.
sorry it has been so long since i blogged. alot of issues going on in my life not all bad , not all good but life it is.
been working on my jewelry end of the business lately and have been doing pretty good selling a bit here and a bit there.
still trying to get my craft room cleaned out, i wish i had the energy to just do it but i really don't want any help with it as i know the kind of help i get will be of the variety get rid of throw away sell whatever just have it gone idea and i just can not do that.
i have many ideas i want to do with my items and i know once hubby retires we wont have any extra to buy anything and the time is coming faster than i know. i pray he lasts till the end of the year and not go like in august as he is thinking.
kitties are doing well that we have not sure if i blogged about ickabod or not but we lost him in march. poor old guy was so sick i think was his time. he let me pick him up without freaking(never been able to do that before) and when we took him in my daughter and i were able to pet his little head, he was dying would not have lasted the day so i gave him a humane way out. rip ickabod my poor little sad eye kitty we love and miss you sooo very very much.
not alot to post about but do have AWESOME NEWS. My cousin the one who had cancer is now cancer free and her stem cell replacement is working wonders. she is out of the hospital now and in her own little apartment so i say yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa toni thank the lord you are where you are right now cousin and we love you so very much,
well best get off this puter and see what i can do about getting something done. blessings for all of you, may god keep you in his care and be with you always love and blessings to everyone vicki
