2016 Fall has Arrived
Fall has arrived, I love this time of year with all the changing vibrant colors. I have been doing a lot of art in my art journal. Hopefully I can post some things here soon. First I have to figure out how to use the app on my tablet. :)

Never Make Long Term Plans
It is March 25th, Good Friday 2016. In 5 months I will be 65, for the past 7 years I have sewn from my home for a local sports store in my city. It has been a great form of income for me. The plan was to work for them until I turn 65 pay as much debt down as I could, then retire collect my pension, and focus on art stuff. However a person should never made long term plans, they always change. As of January 2016, it has been so slow for work, that now at 64 I need to find some from of work, :(. Some place close, because I do not have a car and some where, I don't have to be on my feet for 8 hrs. My education is not conducive for anything other than food services or retail. It is very sad that 5 months before retirement, I have to look for part time or even full time work, :( :( :(.

It has been a long while since I posted here. for a while I could not figure out how to get back on to my blog to post anything, Now that I am here I will try to post more often.
It has been an interesting and challenging past few years.
Highlight of the past few years since my last post.
.... Youngest daughter convocation from University
....Slowly felt the need to stop spending so much time making doll cloths and stop selling on eBay altogether a couple of years ago Here is a favorite I made,
... Acquired a puppy for a year and it nearly wore me out. have since found a new wonderful home for her.
A Daughter-in-Law went home to heaven this past year, leaving a big whole in the family, but she is suffering know more.
This is the year I retire working, and be able to focus on more important things. Family, Friends, Church and any form of arts and crafts.

SUMMER SKIES 2011
The summer of 2011 has been relaxing and eventful. Spent time knitting and sewing. Only had a few very hot days. Which suited me. Kept up with the swimming, but not as many days. Kept working on the weight loss goal. So far 56.5 lbs have vanished. YAY. Still have a few more to go before the goal is reached.
June was busy with sewing numbers on Jerseys.
July held a visit from my niece, my 60th birthday, and visited with a distant in-law
Aug. was very busy with jerseys and My girl came home from Ont. for two weeks. :))) We went see "Wicked" and then we had the opportunity to the Blue Man Group. My son is friends with one of the guys in the band so we meet after the show for a meal and a great visit.
We celebrated my daughters 25 birthday. had a family BQ, All in all it was a great summer.

A DAY ON THE WEB and ANNOYING PHONE CALLS
Spent the day editing my website, that seems to take me so long. At the same time there were a few annoying phone calls offering everything from complete debt reduction to special Walmart offers, (which buy the way is the first for me). Each of which I politely refused. Only to get a little annoyed when the next call came. I should know better than to answer unknown numbers.
But I will keep smiling :)

A Fun Day
First went church with family. Did a little sewing, went swimming for an hour and a half :)). Swam in the big pool. That was great. Even though I will be 60 this year I feel like a kid. Then to top that I bought a smaller bathing suit. I give all The Praise to My Lord Jesus for the continuing strength he gives.
