Well just a short note, I haven't had many readers lately. But that's okay...I do appreciate the few faithful ones that do come...I enjoy your company and your blogs as well. I wish you all the most wonderful enchanting loving New Year's ever. I hope it's filled with Love and Joy and many blessing from out Father above....I decided to continued to blog to see what the New Year brings... It's good for my soul and a great place to vent and share the things I do....Today is New Year's Eve for me and I will be spending it alone for the first time in my life...But I think I'm okay with it. As soon as I get better I have many new things and projects that I would like to do. I intend to get started back on Weight Watchers and lose that ugly old weight I gained... So I do have a resolution for the New Year. But I have to get me well first...So Losing weight and Getting closer to God are a definite on the menu for me...!!!! So what ever your's is, I hope you reach your goal as well...please be safe if youR going out...and iF not Enjoy bringing in the New Year...See you soon with much Love Janice....

Boy was I sick....


Boy, did I end up sick yesterday, not quite sure what it was but I believe I had a fever as well. So Far this morning I'm ok. I had this horrible pain passing through like my intestines. Late afternoon I finally ate some yogurt and it helped. Ever since the Anitbiotics they gave me my bowls have been lose...(I know It's not nice, but this is my Open Diary). So I don't know if it had something to do with that..all I know is that the pain was horrible...So later I ate some plain rice and more yogurt just little bits at a time. Took more Tylenol and slept on and off. Hopefully I will be okay today. If not I will be on my way to the Emergency Room.

Thought I share a few photos from my Living Room, I'm missing my house....





After my son took this picture I realized how bare the shelve looked so I have recently added some doilies to it...eventually I will crochet some for it...
Baby Yuliana, my granddaughter....


Well I think that's it for today, knock on wood, I seem to be staying on okay...so just maybe I can get home today....O my it's Friday I just realized and It will be the New Year soon...So at that I wish you all a most wonderful weekend and A most safe a sound New Years...I hope this year brings good things for all of us...with Much Love Janice...enjoy the day.....

Crocheted Tea bag for your Purse....



Well this is what I did yesterday trying to keep my mind off of feeling so sick. Plus I needed this for my purse. It is not finished yet. I'm going to add some details soon as I get the White thread out.
I can't wait till I finish, It's funny how sometimes when you start a project, you have a passion to finish rite away so you will stay on it...I did the same with the little dress that I made.
I'am starting to add the white trim it looks very nice...I'm thinking to add a small Irish Rose and a loop to hold it closed.. we will see though. I also have thought Of a tiny pearl button If I can find one.
I also have a idea for a Cel-Phone cover...I was thinking away last nite when I was crocheting this ...That's another thing how you mind works...
Breakfast with Tea and Crocheting...and a Victorian vintage magazine...What could be better, for me nothing excepting wishing I was home in my own house with it all...(P.S. not to be rude but Mom sometimes gets up and starts talking away and doesn't stop...I'm not a big yacker in the a.m.)
I will finish the button to lock close today and show you the results tomorrow or Saturday...I'm going to try to go home today...I'm very tired to be here. I love Mom but there are just many things I don't like here...Long story...
Wishing you a grand day, hope you like my new invention...I will possibly be making them to sell in the future. I have a list of things to sell. With much love Janice


I finished it all up....So here is the result of it...

BYE............

Sick again, and the Inheritance .....


Good Morning my dear friends, I'm sick once again I guess with a cold sneezie lousy cold....I have barely gotten over the other pneumonia,I'am going to the Doctor's today to see how I was doing. Isn't that a hoot...and I don't even feel like going but I have to. I need to make sure my lungs are improving. I'm a little bit worried. I didn't go home last nite cause I didn't feel good I didn't feel much like driving there. So I stayed at Mom's...I watched a movie on YouTube last night called the Inheritance, It was a nice movie I enjoyed it so much I stayed up till one am....naughty I know, but I got stuck it was very interesting to me...
Here is the first part....


You can find all the parts on YouTube....I believe it is up until 13 or something you just keep clicking for the next part....I hope that you enjoy it much as I have.
I just loved it.............Well I suppose maybe after I go to the doctor's I will go home to my house...I was thinking last nite I hate the fact that I have such a problem being home well it's home alone...sometimes it doesn't bother me at all.
A little bit of knowledge for us........
In a Victorian family the Father was head of the family. He wife and children respected him and obeyed him (at least that was the theory!). Until 1882 all a woman's property, even the money she earned, belonged to her husband. Divorce was made legal in 1857 but it was very rare in the 19th century.

In the 19th century wealthy women were kept busy running the household and organising the servants. Well to do women often also did charitable work.

In 1874 the first successful typewriter went on sale and the telephone was invented in 1876. These two new inventions meant more job opportunities for women.
In the 19th century women practiced archery, which was considered 'ladylike'. In the late 19th century tennis, croquet and cycling were popular pastimes. Women first played at Wimbledon in 1884. Some intrepid women went mountaineering.
I brought this up because of the movie, I wasn't aware of this and wanted to know.
Lol and did you know ???
About 1800 women started wearing underwear for the first time. They were called drawers. Originally women wore a pair of drawers i.e. they were actually two garments, one for each leg, tied together at the top. In the late 19th century women's drawers were called knickerbockers then just knickers.

Well check out the movie, and have a most enchanting day today...with love Janice

December 31 will be my last day of bad eating habits. I don't want this weight on me any longer and I'm hoping that I can also start a little bit walking even with the panic...I have gotten much better and think me and ms sweetpea can handle some short walks around the block....I'm ready to get myself off to Church every Sunday and get myself rocking with God more closer. My bible study has been on halt for a minute since I got sick. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning and hopefully I'm doing much better with the lung thing, well I'm praying. I don't want to be sick more...it kind of worries me. So In a short while I will be off to the shower and I have to wait a couple of hours before I can go outside to close my pores back up...then I will be off to home...I'm thinking to have my children over to bring in the New Year together. making just some small things...I D K for sure though...Yuliana is growing so big and I haven't seen to much of her because I have been sick...she barely knows me... So back to the 2012 Goals...those are them and in other things. I want to get my dressers painted and my bedroom done. So the purchase I will be making is to buy some sand paper and Paint I already have the primmer...I'm going home need to get the stuff unpacked from going to my daughter's house I just dropped it off and left to Mom's so that's the first things second is to pull out all the mail and get organized and do my paper work etc...So I have an agenda today...Hope I can get it accomplished lol...
Here's is little ms Yuliana, she is indeed beautiful and reminds me mostly of my oldest son Michael, her daddy...I see mama too but mostly him for me...
I want to finish up my two doilies I could have had the one done but some how I forgot to bring the red sparkle thread humm, don't know what happened. That's how I ended up starting another one I needed something to do...but I love it. It's a little chilly this morning my tea is already getting cold...

I think I forgot to tell you when my daughter and the children came we made gingerbread cookie's this is my gingerbread tree..the children had fun and I had fun watching them make them...it was a delight...








Rosalinda, Liliana, Alexzander, Agustin and my daughter their Mom Stephanie....

THE BOOK OF DREAMS, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR PERFECT DREAM TO COME TRUE...MINE WOULD BE FOR ONE ALL MY CHILDREN TO LIVE PROPER LIVES AND BE RESPECTFUL TO EVERYONE JUST LIKE I TAUGHT THEM. FOR MY MOM'S HOUSE TO BE NORMAL AND TOTALLY CLEAN THE WAY I DO. I DREAM OF IT, FOR ME TO LIVE DOWNSTAIRS AND HAVE MY BEAUTIFUL GARDEN LIKE I MADE IT BEFORE. I HAVE A VISION IN MY HEAD EXACTLY HOW THE DOWNSTAIRS WOULD BE, I EVEN DREW THE BLUE PRINT OUT...I HAVE A DREAM TO FOLLOW GOD TO THE FULLEST AND BE HIS FAITHFUL SERVANT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE DIFFICULTIES. I WANT THE WORLD TO BE HOW HE ORIGINALLY INTENDED IT TO BE, NO SICKNESS, PAIN OR SORROW AND NEVER GROW OLD AND DIE....JUST THOSE WORDS WOULD STOP SO MANY THING IN THE WORLD...WELL LET ME TELL YOU I WENT TO THE HOSPICE SECOND HAND STORE AND THEY HAD SOME DIVINE THINGS....I BOUGHT WHAT I COULD AFFORD WAS SOME LOVELY ENCHANTING PINK PILLOWS FOR MY LIVING ROOM. I ALSO BOUGHT A BEAUTIFUL HANGING SMALL STAIN GLASS PIECE WITH A TATTED DOILIE INSIDE...SO PRETTY, BUT LATER I FOUND A SMALL CRACK IN THE GLASS BUT THAT'S OKAY IT WILL GIVE IT CHARACTER I FOUND A FEW PINK ORNAMENTS FOR THE CHRISTMAS TREE. I FOUND A FLOWER RING AND UP UNTIL RECENTLY I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE. I HAD SEEN THEM BUT DIDN'T KNOW THE USE OF THEM...I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY THAT I SAW IT, THEN FOUND ONE. BUT IT WILL BE WONDERFUL FOR MY LITTLE PANSY'S.
LETS SEE WHAT ELSE DID I FIND. o THE GREATEST THING I FOUND WAS A RED AND SILVER TREE TOPPER, I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES EVEN THOUGH IT'S TO LATE. I WILL HAVE IT FOR NEXT TIME...I DON'T BELIEVE THEY ARE MAKING THEM ANY LONGER. IT IS IN THE ORIGINAL BOX AND ALL. AND I BOUGHT TWO CHRISTMAS PILLOWS FOR THE LIVING ROOM, ONE TINY ONE AND ONE REGULAR ONE...THEY HAD SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS THERE BUT MANY THINGS ARE EXPENSIVE FOR ME. LIKE THE BEAUTIFUL PINK FLOWER RUG...HUM I WANTED IT SO MUCH BUT THEY WANTED 45.00 DOLLARS FOR IT...I HAD THE MONEY BUT THOUGH I SHOULDN'T GET IT...AND NOW I'M THINKING O DARN I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT. MAYBE IT WASN'T MEANT FOR ME...I DID FIND TWO WONDERFUL DOILIES IN PINK AND WHITE I WILL PHOTOGRAPH THEM LATER FOR YOU. AND ONE MORE THING I FOUND WAS A PRETTY ROYAL ALBERT TEA CUP AND SAUCER..I STARTED A NEW DOILY BECAUSE I FORGOT THE RED SPARKLE THREAD TO FINISH THE OTHER...BUT MY DAUGHTER HAD TAKEN MY OTHER THREAD OLD RED I CALL IT...I MADE THAT SAME IRISH ROSE IN RED AND THEN DID SOME WHITE AROUND IT AND THEN RED...I LOVE IT, I'M NOT FINISHED YET AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT MY NEXT STEP WILL BE BUT I HAVE A COUPLE IDEAS NOT SURE IF THEY WORK OUT...BUT WE WILL SEE...



THE LAST PICTURE IS WHERE I'AM AT NOW....I HOPE THAT YOU HAD A LOVELY CHRISTMAS, I DID...I COOKED SOME FOOD THE DAY BEFORE FOR CHRISTMAS EVE....WE MADE TAMALES AND I MADE SOME CHILE VERDE WITH PORK MEAT...BEANS WITH NICE HAM HOCK AND SOME FLAN...

MY SIDES GOT A LITTLE MESSED UP BUT I THINK IT WAS THE BAKING DISH THAT I USED AT MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE... HERE WHAT THE FLOWER RING LOOKS LIKE THIS ISN'T THE ONE I BOUGHT BUT IT IS WHITE LIKE THAT JUST NOT AS FANCY, I HADN'T REALIZED THIS ONE WAS SO FANCY...I WOULD HAVE LIKED THAT.

WELL I THINK THAT'S ALL FOR NOW....WISHING YOU A WONDERFUL DAY...THINK OF WHAT YOUR DREAM WOULD BE...
