Been doing my crafts....

 I was making me a rug and ran out of yarn so it is on hold til it gets here. I really like the pattern and it is fun and easy to make. I can't wait to finish it.

While I've been waiting I'm working on gratitude afghan again. I'm about 10 rows shy of where of where I was on the first one. I know I'm going to need more yarn to finish it because I'm only a quarter of the way though the whole pattern.

I tested out my embroidery machine and it works well after not being used for 3 years. I think I'm going to frame this little Angel. I really like the way it came out. I just need to get better thread because the cheap ones i have kept breaking. It is true what they say you get what you pay for.

I did buy the good thread for making the Angels so I shouldn't have any problems with them.

I got a goody box of fabric in the mail this week from a friend, who I really appreciate. I really love all the fabric, batting and patterns. So now I need to figure out my mini sewing machine, which is going to be fun 😁 Soon I need to get a cutting board and rotary cutter and iron, that will happen when I can.  I'm going to use it to remake the moonshine quilt. 

I also want to find a good pattern for a Sundress and make a couple for this summer as being back here I know it can get really hot.

That is all the news for now.

It's not Rebellion... It is my Right

 I don't think it is rebellion. Why do I have to be labeled rebellious to be myself? It is a given right to be who I am and No One has the right to tell me different. As long as I'm not hurting anyone it is no ones business. I'm going to be me no matter what because I'm proud of who I am and everything I have done to get here.  

Make sure you hug your love ones often and tell them you love them.

Ebrace all of yourself....

This is so true of me. I have a very cold side. I have had it since I was a teenager. I know how and why it started. I have learned to live with it and except that it is part of me. I think we should be taught that it's okay to feel like this and it's okay that no one else understands.
Being thoughtless does not mean you are out to hurt anyone, it just means that you don't really understand what they feel and that is okay too. It gives you a place to talk it out so that you can understand each other better.
Also I feel as long as you aren't embracing those parts of you, you will never be whole or happy because you are denying an essential part of yourself. It's okay to be you the good and the not so good. 🖤

Make sure you hug your love ones and tell them you love them.

Updating my pages and blog

 

Ive been testing out my embroidery machine after 3 years of not using it and getting it back. I'm going to be able to make Angels and other things again soon. I'm in the process of making some things again which is making me really happy.

I'm also going to have some crocheted things and most likely sewing some small things since i got a sewing machine again. 

I will be posting them on this page of my blog and on my FB page. Just click on the picture to get to the blog page or click the link on the side bar under pages.

 

 

I'm also thinking of making me a new logo . I've used this angel for years but I'm thinking of making something that says me and incorporates mt crafts and style.

 I have to give it some more thought on what.

I hope you all will follow along on this new journey with me.

Remember to hug your love ones.

Slowing down....

I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted on here, so much has happened since then. I'm not going to go into everything that has happened let just say it it hasn't been an easy last almost year. I moved back to CA. and I'm still here. I'm doing a happy dance these last 2 weeks. I have my own place... well a room in a place but it's mine I pay rent and have awesome roommates.

Redoing Gratitude

I have been doing crafts again  I'm hoping to start doing embroidery again soon. I just need to get a extension cord to reach the wall sockets. Then I hope to be up and running things again. I also need to get more cotton yarn to work on some more dish cloths, hand towels, pot holders, and coasters. I want to be able to update my Craft Delight Designs soon.

I have also been rediscovering myself and the picture below explains it best.

 I have worked very hard the last few years to not be an emotional angry bitch. I still have some anger about what he did and probably always will, but I'm not letting it define me. I don't have to feel guilty because I'm alive. It was his choice to end his life not mine. I don't have to stop enjoying my life because of it. I know that sounds angry but it isn't it is Wonder at the realization that I was feeling guilty for being alive when there is no reason I should ever have felt that way. It's determination to not let it define my life anymore. I am so proud for all I have accomplish and done in the last 6 years. I am looking forward to life. I know now that I will live not just survive. 

So I still have some medical issues to deal with and some new things that have cropped up. But I've been dealing with it for almost 30 years so I think I got it covered. I just watch how many spoons I have💜

I hope to be updating this more often now that things are slowing down some.

Remember to tell your loved ones you love them and hug often.

Have a Blessed Week!

Been busy with family and holidays since I last posted here. Plus dealing with my knee. Which is getting better.

Spiderman afghan 

Started an afghan for my grandson Damon today. It's going to be a spiderman web when finished.

I made the healing stitches rectangle afghan for my grandson Liam and he loves it.

Gratitude afghan 

I started the gratitude afghan while I was waiting on the spiderman yarn so it is on hold right now. But I am going to finish it.

Will try and post more here again.

Have a Blessed weekend.

Back home in Florida....

 So, I came back to Florida last Saturday the 8th.. I have been realizing that I really missed seeing the big open sky and the farm land. It is so beautiful and peaceful.  Like this morning I wish I had gotten a picture of the big  sky with sun rays coming down over the farmland. The picture on the post isn't mine it was a free picture.  I also missed the trees and woods.  I liked the convinces of the city like everything delivered  But I also like the drive to go shopping and just getting out. So I'm looking for a place for me that I can afford. 

I also been crocheting while I take it easy because my leg is in a brace and my rib is fractured.

Not much else going on. 

I hope you have a blessed week!
