Yesterday I blogged that I have been busy,let me add to that and say to someone who has MS I have been busy.Monday was ok,Tuesday I barely could get out of bed,I think it was 11 am our time.Wednesday was better,my husband was off during the day and that is why I got out of the house.Today is still iffy,I feel like I have lifted the world with my arms.I wonder how in the world one part of the body can hurt so bad,but not the parts that go to or with them.Call it Myelin,that covers each of our nerves,but MS eats ours away.I think today I am carrying an elephant.
But even so I have and I am going to get some more of my work done today,I got up early and really and truly I am going to fight this today.I have a special Birthday coming up,my best friend who really is more a sister than if I had a sister could be,even thou we don't speak everyday,we both know and feel each other's life,and on her Birthday I am celebrating 1 yr of being smoke free,and I don't miss it.
And let me say NO ONE can or will quit until THEY want to.I know and I feel for anyone who is trying to quit.
I am getting so anxious about Fall and the cooler temps to be here,esp after a record breaking July Heat.I can't wait to decorate for Fall.Last year I started the first day of Sept. and my family are already kidding me about it again,the way I see it I am home all the time and I will be the one looking at it ALL the time,let me have some enjoyment,right,.lolololo
I also posted that I have been redoing frames and shelves for mygranddaughters' room.I am going to post the pics on here and can't wait to get them on their walls.And I think this weekend I will go and get a knitting loom that they and my daughter can use to make tobagons on.I know I will not be visiting the Antique Shops here,the hubby works so that means I have to stay at home,:(
But everyone watch the weather,and remember please give to the American Red Cross,alot of people need help with all these terrible floods and storms,and most of ALL SMILE :)

Been Awhile
It has been probably a week since I have had the time to sit down and do this.I have been busy,the computer was down for a couple of days,and school started back for 2 of my 3 school-age granddaughters.Which I was busy trying to help them prepare,being grannie has its advantages,lololo.
I have eagerly been busy also,primed and painted picture frames and shelves for 2 of my granddaughters room.They live in an apt. and any color has to be done with items as this and peelable art,which they have done this also.I made a doily for a Christmas gift yes a Christmas gift.And worked on another item for a birthday gift,will post after she gets it,lololo.
And of course I have been thrift store shopping plus Antiquing.And found a great little shop here in our town by accident on Facebook from a friend way back to high school.And it has great items,new jewelry,new purses,pillows,dolls,trinkets,yes my kind of shop.
Now to the important item I always suggest for anyone if they do read this,help the American Red Cross.This weekend here in our area on Sunday evening a neighboring city and county was hit with a flash flood.Luckily no one was injured or killed,but lives and homes have been torn upside down,the following link will lead it to one of the stories where a house had to be demolished because it was washed out onto a road,yes a road.So please give if you can to these great Volunteers of the American Red Cross.The following link is one of the many stories from then:http://www2.wjhl.com/news/2012/aug/08/crews-demolish-dry-creek-house-washed-away-flood-ar-2118001/ And ALSO Please remember to SMILE,everyone looks so pretty when you do.

Not Much
The weekend and today have not been very eventful for me as far as creating anything.Still working on the baby blanket on the knitting loom,on my third section,weaved the first 2 together.I just love loom knitting,I hate that I never found it years ago.I have cut out and sewn 2 Lace Wedding Cuffs,got the elastic and ribbon sewn on,but not finished them,reason for my delays,MS.Yes my MS is working overtime,which has left me NOT.Have had the muscle spasm,even in my neck which is making it harder to swallow,and then MY great headache.But I will fight this mess head on.
One of my daughters' took me out Saturday evening,husband in toll also,and I really enjoyed it and needed it.Went to another city to a Mall.Went into some stores I have never went into,one selling jewelry and clothes,and who can't pass up a deal buy one get one for a PENNY,yelp I got some real pretty earrings,one pair are feahters,and I love them,look alright on this 53 year old grandmother.
My other daughter got to go see Brandi Carlise,one of my favorites of today.She would call me along and let me hear her,oh how I wished it had been indoors.Anyone with MS know you can't take the heat.Sometimes I feel like just risking it all,but then I pay dearly.
And I hope everyone remembers to smile and please give to the American RedCross,if not in money,give time,or even moreso Blood.Right now in our area they are in dire need of donors,so please give.

Wow Friday Already
I can't believe it is Friday and only a few days left in the month of July,where does time go? Well I have to say,mine has been sorta of productive,4th of July,Birthday,went to visit my daughter and granddaughter in their new State,found out my new grandbaby will be a boy,got a Loom to learn to knit,did learn to use the loom,went school shopping,found BIG name brand clothes.Then to OLD NAVY and found lots of great buys and mark downs,even for the 1 1/2 yr old,shoes,tops,shorts,and even a pair of Jeans with NO flaws for $1.97.I look and I search when I feel like it,and 2 nights ago I did and gave it my all,lololo.With 3 granddaughters in school and a toddler and a new grandson on the way,this old granny looks for buys.And like I posted before when you go to THRIFT STORES and find expensive name brand clothes for 2 bucks,yes YOU can go to name brand dept stores and find great deals there with the money you had saved for this.A WIN WIN situation!!
And with that the Month is almost gone,shoo time is flying past me,got so much to do,and sure have got to feel like I can.Fighting MS all summer with the heat and the humidty has been terrible,but we will fuss when winter gets here.Got another part of the blanket started on the loom,and then to weave the 2 sections together.Got my friends' birthday present made,just need to get more made.And I am making things again with the needle tatting when I need a break with the other stuff.At least I have found something that doesn't require alot of physical attention,just mind bungling,lolololo.And I have got to finish the Butterfly pillows for 2 granddaughters,they share the same room,so I try to make things alike.
But anyway,Hope everyone has a great weekend,stay safe if any storms do come to your area,watch the wind,rain,and lightning.And please most of all do these:Give to the Red Cross if possible,they help so many,Smile,and when possible give great big HUGS.

Another Month Almost Come and Gone
Time flies so fast,a birthday past and over half a year gone,where does time go? I had a good birthday,got to go see where my daughter and granddaughter moved to out of state,got to go thirft store shopping then and over the weekend.Went to one of my favorite craft store and purchased a knitting loom.
And I know I will be going back and getting a better one,I LOVE IT.Making a baby blanket for my new grandson to be here around the New Year.
At the thrift store this weekend I really didn't find much,a new spiders web to put in the middle of my Halloween Wreath,and ready to make my new Fall Wreath,got single flowers at Hobby Lobby also,marked down to .60 each.Found capris for my granddaughters,GAP AND OLD NAVY.Who can't beat that for a little over $2. each,not me when you have 4 to buy for and a grandson on the way.Don't get me wrong but I love shopping at KOHLS and JC PENNEY,but when you can find that deal for NAME BRAND cloths,go for it.You can still go to name brand stores and purchase clothing,just more when you save money on purchases that you know they will outgrow faster than time itself.
Back to the loom,ok,I am always eager to learn something new,but I do believe I have found my click,loom knitting,and I still am needle tatting,made a pair of Fall Earrings this weekend,but with this when I want a break I can do the other,and working out fine so far.And now I am on the second color of it,it is green and white chenile yarn,and it is so soft.Thanks to 2 ladies there that evening they helped me pick out the right yarn and grade.Isn't it nice to know there are people who really are nice and want to help you and don't act like they don't want anyone else to know the tricks.I have found this with SOME who needle tat.It is like you want to learn you do the best you can.Shame on people who act like that.
But also I have made pics,one problem,can't remember where I put the camerea,lolololo ok I know a major "BRAIN FART" I call it.lolololo and I will find it thou,who knows it maybe in my underwear drawer,lololo And last and most of all,LETS ALL PRAY FOR THE FAMILIES IN AURORA COLORADO,such a sad time,I cried with them and for them,can't imagine what they are going through.And remember to smile,and if possible give your FAMILY and FRIENDS a HUG,who knows when the last time maybe.
