Thank you all for checking up on me.  I appreciate it.  Sometimes my answer is that I am doing fine...but there are also the times where I fall apart and I am letting it just happen.  I think that hormones are related to the devil...and that husbands and sons will never understand them...so I try to deal with my ups and downs in quick, quiet hidden intervals so that they do not have to go through this rik-rak part of it!

physically I am better and better...

mentally depends on the time of day, meaning mornings are really good and nights are not good at all...which means I am hoping that the city will change the firework show to tomorrow morning instead of tomorrow night.

Creatively..I am on fire, of course from the laying back, feet up postiton. I have been stitching and playing with felt like a lunatic. seriously out of control.  Today I am up and down more than any other day this week and am planning to sew some shabby bags...and yes...as soon as I get enough "stock" I will list them.  I just need to get them done first. 

I also have added some new things to the left hand sidebar.  The past month I have been creating & LOVING everything from Teresa's lines and am actually awaiting the new stuff for my classes in AZ at the end of the month....and speaking of classes and Teresa's lines...there is a new class in August that has been seeping out...I can not tell you everything...except that I cane tell you that my class is on Sunday, August 16th from 12-2pm at the Red Bee in Tustin...it is a CHRISTMAS project and I am not the only teacher...in fact there are several teachers and it all starts on Friday, August 14th...( i need to go finish the logo after I type this)

Don't freak out, but for those of you who have been long time readers (Patsy!!) you know that tomorrow is the 4th of July and that is when I start reminding you that 1/2 the year is over and it was just yesterday that we were celebrating Happy New years in the Garag-Mah-Hall so don't kill the messenger but look at me as a happy holiday reminder that It will be here before you know it and you will thank me (at some point).

and one last thing...NEXT FRIDAY is the Scrap Garage Sale...right here at my house.  There is a flyer that you can download if you click Download Scrapsaleflyer1  or up on the left hand side under "Where I Will Be"...Seems like we may have a house full..so my suggestion to you is to arrive as close to 6pm as possible...oh, btw...it is 6pm to 10 pm..not 6am - 10am although I am a super early riser...Deena is not..oh and I know that there is a typo on the flyer (wouldn't be the same if there wasn't)..we hope to see you here!  It is going to be fun..I would swear even the Valentine is excited!?!

So good to "hear" from you! I pray that each day is just a little better for you. Can I just say that you are so talented - I've been checking out the projects on the sidebar! Oh, how I wish I lived "in your neck of the woods" so I could not only take classes but be at the wonderful sale next Friday! Take good care, my friend!

I wanted to comment with joy for you when I read your first baby news - but didn't. Today I checked up on you and found your sad news. My miscarriage was in 1976, but I still remember that little one. My 2 daughters came after and nothing was ever better in my life than being their mother - until I became a grandma 2 years ago. I didn't know little boys were so wonderful until Logan came into our lives. You and John will be in my thoughts in this difficult time. Rest and heal your body - there's really nothing else you can do.

I look forward to signing up for the "Holiday" not a "zine" on line. Do you know what you are going to call it and when it will be starting?
