Happy February

H’mmm, do I see a post title pattern here?  I have been so wrapped up in job hunting lately.  I remember when I used to post almost daily.  Well, is the party over?  I am enjoying my time off while it lasts.

I have been knitting, uh, learning to knit.  It seems much slower than crochet, uses less yarn, and requires more concentration.  Just the thing I need right now to keep me on an even keel.

Now we need a photo.  How about a duck diving on a foggy day at the lake?  Could be a cute one!?  Taken at Lake Hefner in Oklahoma City last month.

Have a very nice day!

Big hug,

Deborah

Happy January

Where has the time gone?  Seems like just yesterday it was November and I was getting laid off!   Still a little bitter and getting over it.   I have a new laptop, and am getting used to it.  It needs a card reader so I can post my personal pics.  Keeping my mind busy and maintaining some sort of daily routine helps.  Agh!

Here’s a happy work from Etsy, of course.

 I like this one from Kat Hannah.  It kinda looks like I feel sometimes – something on my back that just hangs on!   Like a monkey…  On a more positive note, I am going to say I am being hugged in the picture!

That’s all the energy I have for fun today.  I have to shop for a laptop cooling stand, card reader, and maybe something for myself that includes chocolate!  Hope you have a wonderful day. 

Big hugs all around,

Deborah

Here’s something to smile about!

Happy New Year

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, and inside is so delightful!  Wishing you a very happy, safe, healthy and prosperous new year!

A very merry new year to you and yours

Big hugs,

Deborah

Merry Christmas

We had a record snow yesterday, well, a blizzard.  I am snowed in with Pumpkin and Spunky to keep me company.  The telephone lines are working so I can visit with family and friends.  Hope your holiday is merry and bright!

Etsy, of course, has lots of nice things for my stocking….

My mother saw a cardinal in the snow this morning outside her window.  Beautiful.

The sun is out this morning.  The snow has drifted up to the third porch step.  I love the snow, especially when no one has walked in it!

Happy holidays and a big hug,

Saturday (singing) in the park

Hello friends!  Hope your holiday was fantastic.  I spent the day with my sister and her family, made calls to other family members and spent the evening with my other half, Mr. Tony.  Very relaxing.  I am so thankful for my health and the health of my family and friends.  I am thankful that my needs are met, and have faith that all is going to be well.

Now, you know how much I love Etsy, and I have truly missed my weekly (daily) fix of goodies, cuteness and fun!  Here is some Etsy faith to start your day right.

Wait just a minute!  Is that me jumping over the edge?  Probably.  I would love to fly.

make my day monday – sale through December 30

All items in my etsy shop are on sale through December 30th.  I have been working on some new items to add in the next few weeks.  Thank you to my friends who keep checking in on me.  Big hug.  (We now have jobs until the end of November, and it is looking good that we will get our contract in order.  Whew!  It’s not over until the fat lady sings, so come back soon to see if I am singing!)

You know how much I love Etsy, so I couldn’t resist looking for a Halloween bunny.  Yeah…a day without a bunny is like, well, you know.

I’ll be checking in now and then to see how all my friends are doing, visit their blogs, and check etsy of course!  Talk to you soon.

Big hug,

Deborah

make my day monday

This Monday brings me even closer to having a job or not.  I still have anxiety about our contract situation.  Will we get it back?  Will they get it?  I am going to have faith and ride it out until the final decision.  I feel that we will get it back.  My human side says to worry.  So, I will keep in mind that anything can happen and be prepared for come what may.

I’m like a bird, I want to fly away . . . .

I am going to take a break from posting on my blog.  I need to be like the ants and start preparing for the winter months (spiritually).   I hope when I see you again that I will be much refreshed.  Hope to see you on down the road.

Big hug,

Deborah

make my day monday

Labor Day.  I am so thankful to still have a job these days.  I have read articles online today about how many people are unemployed.  Very Scary!  I hope we win back our contract and continue to work for the next four years.  Am I getting too old for this?  Just keep working, just keep working.

Today I am enjoying my day off.  Surfing Etsy, of course.  Waiting for Mr. to come by and whisk me off for lunch and a trip to the art fair (looking for some good handmade soaps).

Here is some random etsy kawaii and cuteness.  I have been interested in needle felting lately.  I really want to make some little felted beads.  And a felt business card holder.  And this pumpkin.

what a nice day tuesday

Wow.  The autumn season is coming!  The temps have been in the 80’s and I am loving it!  Sleeping at night is so much nicer when the AC is not humming along with the ceiling fan.  Okay, enough of the weather report (one of my favorite things).  How is everyone doing on such a nice Tuesday?  How about some inspiration, etsy of course?

And here is a preview photo from Jenn Docherty.  Her needle felted creations are adorable.  Must have one.

make my day monday – madness

I woke up feeling very calm this morning.  Then I started to think.  Wrong thing to do.  Let go and let God is my mantra for today.  Turn the other cheek.  Just let it be.  Forgive and forget.  Move on.  Whatever it is that a person could say to just keep going – I’ll say it today and have a heart full of love.  Keep calm and carry on.

Etsy, of course, does provide a range of emotions in the form of eye candy!  Here are some lovelies:

Hope your Monday is full of good madness!
