Old Silver...

. 

~ * I thought I'd try and get off the subject... and write about something else today.. I have had this little piece for ever.. It's so old the silver is waring off.. but It can still shine up.. And of course found it on Dad's truck... Years ago.. and have always had it on my dresser.. the top piece is a newer old little trinket box, with a purple stone which I believe to be an Amethyst.. with black Onyx..

Another little favorite of mine.......I found this a long time ago.. I thought it was the sweetest little comb.. with a cover I thought it was amazing....

So sweet glass with silver...

All my favorite pieces.. found at different times.................

With Love XoxO, Janice =)

Checkin in....

*~ ` ( Good Evening... Yes I have been so busy with Mom's arrangements the burrial etc... It's done and over with and I have barely had time to Grieve about it.. There is so much to be done.. Tons of cleaning upstairs and down stairs is packed to the brim.. well we have gotten two loads out.. Thank God.. a friend has a huge dump truck that we can use.. and he is taking Mom's older car for the dumping fee's. I also have the huge storage to clean out as well and there is a dead line to meet... 

God is so good .. Mom's house is just a huge mess she never ever took care of it.. But the location is one of the best in the San Francisco area.. I hope and pray God continues to help me through.. I miss my Mama and have thought to many times to call her but I can't no more... I knew I would miss her from way before when the dr. told me she was dying... My mind went through so many things.. over and over.. as now.. but I'm so grateful she is not suffering.. She was in so much pain special the last days.. I felt so bad for my Mama I couldn't do anything to relief her.. finally they gave stronger meds.. and when she passed it was peacefully..
Me and my son was with her when she took her last breath.. It was a strange thing to watch.. Now trying to move forward is hard and trying to act like I'm okay is another story.. like I said in the beginning I haven't had time to greive about it.. maybe in the future.. though I have had moments of tears I just don't know.. Well I just wanted to give an update I will be busy for a while now cleaning .. and cleaning and cleaning.. I will stop in here and there..

with much love
Janice

Feel like Pink Roses today........... *

*`~`*`~`  - I just adore these tennis shoes.... I'd love to have a pair but I haven't a clue as where to find a pair... but I'd be in heaven walking around in them.. It's a blustery Morning here in San Francisco.. the wind is blowing like mad.. Mom didn't sleep to good she has a swollen knee and is having extreme pain...I have given her pain meds but in between she has been moaning in her sleep poor baby.. i feel so bad for her...*

I'm very tired today but I'm trying to make the most of it.. To night I will leave for a 24 hr. break which I'm in much need of................. *

Isn't this a pretty Rose tea cup.................. *

I can't wait to go home see my Roses in my bedroom and my new old dresser my sweetpea and my garden and My new Tea pot is awaiting me.. O and I should have a Rose banner on the way.. maybe it will arrive too.............. *

 * ` One day I'm going to make one of these.. it's been a long desire of mine... It's so beautiful.......

O and I decided when I recieve Mom's house and I have enough monies, I will paint it Pink & White just like this ................ *

Then we will put a large Pink Pot maybe like the one I seen at the Nursery with some baby pink Roses........that climb...

                * ` ~ * ` Happy Tuesday
                       with Love Janice be back soon................* ` ~ ` ` *

Wishing I was home.........

* ~ ` Just wanted to share these photos with you this morning... Mom is resting peacefully and I have a little time to myself.. I really am missing home.. Seems I can't stay away to long..

I start missing my things my Garden... and now is a perfect day the sun is out and shinning.. but I have to stay here and care for Mom.. I'm hoping tomorrow I can go home for the night...

I love the pattern of this Tea cup.......... the tiny little roses and flowers... I have four square plates but Vee broke one........  I have looked on line and couldn't find anything near it........... so sad..

I can't figure out how they crochet things and sewed them to linens.............. Like the pieces in my photos.. especially because the pieces are not straight across.. I so would love to know..

I can firgure out the pattern on the crochet part.. I was thinking I could make them square just for a doily...

Found two of these spoon's in my things.. they are very simple but they are silver........

Sometimes simple things are so elegant...and just the very thing to make you feel good..

                            Happy New Week

Sewing...... and a few words

Good Wonderful Sunday Morning........

Up early before the sun... Well I found this lovely picture and It has reminded me that I really want to start sewing some things.. I have thought of it on and off for some time now.. Last year a friend gave me a sewing machine.  It didn't have the power foot but I found a place that had it online and bought it.  But I also had no directions for anything.  I tried to adjust it but couldn't.  So the same man who sold me the foot said he had a book her could make me a copy of the instructions.. for 12.99.. Got to get that done....I used to sew a lot when I was younger I learned in junior high school.. Mostly by patterns though.. I remember making my oldest daughter a bath robe out of Strawberrie shortcake material... and my Mom's best friend had a beautiful grand sewing machine and she Embroidered her name Stephanie on it.. It was indeed the best... and my little girl was indeed very happy...
And I felt very proud.... You know life can consume you up if your not paying attention..... I sit here at time and think where did all the years go.......... all my children are grown and have their own children and are busy with their lives......

So it's on my agenda .. on my note pad to get those instructions...So I can once again sew. Maybe now I can sew some things for my grandchildren....

... I also have been thinking much about Mom's house as you know I'm to receive it after she passes.. The house is a huge mess Mom never took care of it. But the property is worth good money. which really doesn't matter to me.. My concern is how in the world am I going to fix it clean it out etc.. I keep telling myself that I just will put the matter into God's hands.. I live on a S.S.I. monies which isn't much.. and I believe at this point Mom has no more savings left... Sometimes Gifts are a burden instead of a pleasure.. Not to put anyone down.. but at the moment I rather have not inheirted the house for I know not what I'm going to do ... I don't mean to complain but if you only knew the situation......

So these words are the main key... Hold on. Stay strong. Have faith. Trust God. Keep believing. Never Lose Hope.....

If I didn't believe in Our Heavenly Father who knows where I'd be in this time............ I thank him often and I truly appreciate him.. and all that he has done for me.....He has given me much strength...

             Have a very wonderful Sunday
                     With Love Janice..............

Playing in the Garden...

In the Garden this morning.. even though it's been raining.. off and on this morning it stopped and the sun came out.. Yesterday I had went to the nursery.. and picked up a few things then decided to cross over the other side of  the side of the street and go to Lowe's ... Glad I did because I couldn't find much at the Nursery but I did there..
