Cutest kitten award

I love this pattern and the colours with

the kitten work perfectly.

My dad told me yesterday that they think

he will be in the hospital at least another

ten days.  I think they are making him worse,

not better.

 Colossians 3:15

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,

to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 

 

Happy Thursday

Rolodex cards

I joined a rolodex card swap recently. I

joined the group after this swap started,

so I missed the first five. When I'm assigned

a partner (I understand she has joined recently

as well) I'll ask her if she wants to catch up with

the first five cards. But here are F,G,H:

I was pretty happy with how they came out.

I'll be going to take care of my dad's cat today

and then visiting him after lunch with Dianne.

He told my sister that they are going to keep him

there until at least Saturday now.  I do not know

what the diagnosis is, but I don't intend to leave

today without knowing that and the treatment

plan they have decided on.  Dad doesn't ask

questions and I'm not getting any information

relying on him.  It's becoming stressful.

Luke 6:27-28

 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies,

do good to those who hate you,  bless those who curse you,

and pray for those who spitefully use you.

Happy Tuesday!

Trying a new thing

I saw something similar to this on pinterest

and decided to try it. BUT, while I like it,

I think I should have inked the mat behind it.

That would have made it really stand out. If

I do something like this again, I will do that.

It was difficult to pierce the holes through

two pieces of card stock, but I like the result.

I'm using this as the March RAK attack card,

then I'll add two ATC's.

The doctors are going to evaluate my dad today

and decided what treatment will need to be done.

His heart has been racing and they've needed to

use medication to slow it down.  That also isn't

helping with his breathing.

As for me, I have the MRI on Wednesday (I may have

mentioned that) and the followup with the Dr. on

Friday.  I was surprised they got me in that quickly,

but I'm not complaining.  I hope the whole thing

is over with quickly.  Pam told me she made the

executive decision to take me off the signing schedule.

I know it's the right thing to do but it's not what I wanted.

I slid in the garage this morning and cracked my shin

on the step, also skinned it.  It really smarts.  I hit

my head on the car tire, too, but very gently.  

Thank you, Lord, for keeping me safe.  I'll live with

a painful shin rather than a cracked open skull.

Psalm 91:1

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Happy Monday!

Not another faerie!

This is a much prettier faerie than the others
I've shown. Probably because I didn't do it, LOL.

I fell in love with the image as soon as I saw it.

I can't believe it's March and I can't believe it's

still so cold-with a chance of snow!    I am so done

with it all!  Yesterday I didn't think I was

ever going to be warm again.

My dad is hanging in there.  They are going to

make a decision tomorrow on what further

treatment he will need.  He's pretty depressed

and I don't blame him there.

I was supposed to sign today but Pam took over

my songs because I never know what movement

might bring me to my knees.  I'll sign from my

seat but I can quit whenever I want that way.  I

will be happy when I get this all taken care of.

I couldn't believe it when the doctor said it had

been 4 years.  I didn't think it had been that long!

 

Proverbs 3:5-6

 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

Happy Sunday!

Simply Heavenly

I was looking for something else when I

came upon the last two angel images

I had on a sheet that I'd forgotten. Here is

one of them. I haven't made a card with the

other yet.  Isn't she pretty?!

Larry and I went to the home and garden

show yesterday in Fort Wayne. When you first

walk in there is a sand sculptor. He was only

beginning when we got there, but here is

the beginning of it. It was cool to watch

but of course, they take hours and hours

so we didn't get to see the final project.

I have an MRI scheduled for Wednesday.  I'm

not thrilled about it as I've only had one before

and I don't like being in that little tube, but

they need to know for sure that my rotator

cuff isn't torn.  We are all sure it's not, but

it's a vastly different surgery and recovery

time if it is.

Galatians 6:9

 And let us not grow weary while doing good,

for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Happy Saturday!

Faerie surprised!

I found this adorable image of a faerie

and had to use it right away. As a matter

of fact, I have found quite a few images

that I want to use. Right now my arm

hurts too much to do a lot of stitching, but

I go to the doctor today to find out what

is the the next step. Like I don't know.

I brought my dad home yesterday  from the

hospital at about 130.  At 730 he called me

and said he needed to go back.  I told him to

call an ambulance.  They get there quicker

than me and have equipment that I don't

have.  He's still having trouble breathing-

mainly because his lungs are so full of

mucus.  I'm hoping they get him on a

better road before they release him this time.

1 Corinthians 2:9

But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Happy Friday!

Lazy gnome

Yesterday's gnome was the only one who

even worked of the three. I guess you could

loosely call fishing “work” but this guy is

flat out sleeping. I guess there's always

got to be that one guy!

This is my favourite of the three. 

My dad thinks he's going to go home today

but I don't think he's seen the doctor yet.

Apparently he was coughing so hard that

he developed a hernia but that will have

to be repaired at a later date.

Isaiah 40:28

 Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.

Happy Thursday!
