A LOVELY GIFT

I am always amazed by the incredible generosity of quilters.
I commented on Pinyon Creek Stitchin blog regarding her beautiful crazy quilted ornaments honoring the furry friends
wonderful friends had lost in a fire. Upon hearing of us losing Missy she offered to make me a ornament for my tree. It is so beautifully stitched and so appreciated.

P.S. GOD IS AWESOME!
I forgot to add that I am so grateful to God that my life was spared. I have been given two extra chances at life in the last eleven years. I am not sure what God has in store for me, but I will be forever grateful. Linda

ON THE COMPUTER AGAIN...
I am back on the computer daily. I spent over six and a half weeks in the hospital with a planned major surgery and unknown to anyone, I had a perforated bowel from the first surgery and it took a couple of weeks before my body started seeping fluid from my lower abdomen. They did an emergency major surgery which was touch and go. The surgeon told my husband and I it looked like a hand grenade had gone off inside me. He wasn't sure he could do anything to fix it. He did his best and fortunately I am still here! It has been quite the experience and one I never want to go through again. Even after getting out of the hospital, my strength is very low and I am working on getting back to normal. I rest a lot and friends have been wonderful to bring in meals and do anything else they can to help. I am so fortunate to have such wonderful friends! Thank you! You all know who you are.
I have missed all of my computer friends. Please keep in touch! Thank you for the concerned posts and e-mails.
Love,
Linda

A gift from Jen & more creations
We used a very detailed stamp to etch this switch plate. It is better in person and we also used a high gloss shine spray to give it a nice finish.

JEN CROSSLEY & I CREATING IN SEPT
Jen taught me etching and we discovered Aussie & US etching solution are different strengths. We left this piece in for a VERY long time and the edges turned out "ragged" and I will use that to my advantage when I make it a bookcover.
The last necklace Jen and I had fun taking a shoe buckle and creating a beautiful vintage choker or long necklace.
The time we spent creating together was the best. I haven't made any jewelry since she was here last year, so it was nice to be creating again.
