Foggy Saturday Morning...

Well good morning, it's another foggy morning. Seems we have more of them foggy mornings than anything else..I hope I energy to go downstairs for a little while today. I didn't make it yesterday I didn't feel so well. well I got nerves because when I went to pick up Mom's medicine I had bent over to check something out on a shelf and got a little bit like I was going to fall over. I'm sure my neck is out of wack cause it has been but I can't afford the Chiropractor at the moment. It's only forty dollars at a wack but I still can't afford it rite now. maybe when and if I get on SSI. Well I'm okay rite now so I'm assuming that was the problem. I know when I'm walking at times I feel like that. Well anyways I was fooling around with the thread and needle again and thought why can't I make a bigger start to hang on the tree...

This is actually the beginning of a large star doily that I was starting to make, but as I was looking at it I was whats wrong with this.???
Then I thought ok big ones for large trees and little one for small trees. Just Ideas..I don't know I'm thinking maybe someone would buy some. I do have a order for two sage green and beige star doilies and maybe two more. hummm sound nice. maybe I can make a little bit extra money on the side. I want to fix my car it has two small things wrong with it. The parts don't cost much so maybe..this will be the way. I'm going to think positive to bring positive...Rite....:)

My head is just thinking so many things...So I have to slow down and write down my thoughts in a book I was thinking and see what I can come up with...

I tried to get a better shot, but with a cell phone and Mom's lighting in the kitchen it was hard to do. I hope you let me know what you think. As I do more I will show them. I cooked up some Swiss Chard last nite from my garden it taste so fresh and sweet a totally nicer taste to it when it comes out of the garden. I wish my garden had grew better. but I blessed for what I received for sure.

Just some garlic, tomato, salt and little bit Olive Oil...and wa la....

I wanted to continue to fry it, but everyone was hungry so I added some water like 1/2 cup and let it steam. It still was great Mom liked it and Vee to..we have eaten a lot of it but no one seems to be tired of it. I have some red started but they seem to be stuck like the green was at first. I also planted some collard green for the fall and early winter..it's about a inch high and I tried some leeks but they haven't spouted yet hummmmm. My cucumbers are still stuck. Maybe I need to test the dirt..maybe it's not good enough or something. I will have to check on it. Well It's a three day weekend. I was thinking to go to church on Sunday then maybe my son can get us on Sunday after church and we can go see Yuliana we haven't seen her for several weeks she is now three months time flies like always... and we can cook something on Monday barbecue maybe. . .Well I hope that you have a most wonderful weekend with your family or friends or both whom ever it may be with...with love Janice see you next week...unless I get on Sunday evening at my son's. God Bless.

Lovely Friday Morning...

It's a lovely Friday morning, Vee made it to school all week without any fuss..That'
s a huge blessing in it's self..I'm so happy for her. She seems to be enjoying it... In the car yesterday she was like Mom do you feel like you have a life now. I was well like for me it's a little more difficult. She said mom you don't feel like that cause I'm going to school now..I told her yes I'm so very happy that you have a life now...and a lot of things will change for you.. This morning when I woke up. I thought maybe she was telling me in a way that she finally felt like she had a life. I'am so happy for her. maybe it will help make her life better. She is meeting people and has made new friends. It's exciting I'm already thinking about Prom..he he he...

Lol here is my little tiny baby, SweetPea... She had missed me yesterday so when I got home to Mom's she jumped up to the table and was scratching on my arm then just jumped on me and pushed her way in. Mom says she pouts all the time when I leave her..Awe. I feel bad but I can't always take her with me. Well anyways I finished the star and this is just the first version I want to starch it like they did back in the day. Mom said they had some special starch they used I don't know. I have to find out. I think it came out pretty good.

Yeah, the photo thing is working so far..so here it is, tell me what you think? and remember I'm going to starch it...I have some old green thread as well so I'm going to make one in Green, then I thought I will do a white one with red trim..I'm just fooling around. Well today I'm going down stairs for a little bit I hope..My asthma seems to be bothering me. The other day I started coughing and had to come back up stairs. . . O I went to Salvation Army yesterday, it changed a lot. I did find some sweet tea cups I had wished they had a couple more but the three will do.

Aren't they cute. they were marked five dollars each but they happened to have I think 20% off..so I ended up paying 3.50 each set. I love the turquoise and cream..they seemed so elegant to me. I also got two small rose plates.

I'm trying to find some plate to do a mosaic piece. I been wanting to do that forever. But the plates now that I want to do it are none..figures...well I will just have to keep on the out look lol...these are so pretty though I'm not sure that I want to break them..I think that will be the hardest part for me. breaking them up. silly though. So I think that will be it for today, I'm off to take Vee to school and go to Walgreen's and pick up Mom's medicine and then back here to eat a bite then downstairs...So I wish you a wonderful day and thank you for your lovely comments my new friends. they are so appreciated. with Love Janice
