You want others to discover that same passion; that's what I hope to accomplish with this blog.
I sincerely hope this blog brings you as much crafting pleasure as I've found over the years.

I ask once again of friends near and far to pray for my family.<br />
<br />
We lost an angel this year, last August. My sweet little niece who was only 13 years old. Though she fought valiantly, complications of diabetes ended up being too much for her small little body. The Lord took her only a few short days after her 13th birthday. She turned 13 on August 5, 2014 and died on August 16th.<br />
<br />
I keep thinking I'll wake up from this nightmare, but every morning I wake with her on my mind, every day I miss her more and more and every day our entire family must find a way, must find the courage and the strength to continue on without her.<br />
<br />
Please pray for all of us....<br />
<br />
Bless you all,<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Dear Friends....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please pray for my family.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An event has happened in my family that I am asking prayers
for. The only worse type of event I
would imagine would be a serious illness or death in the family.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a nephew who was just informed on Thursday that that
was his last day of employment. He and
his family are devastated. This nephew
of mine who is a devout Christian, who comes from the old school…..you’re never
absent, you’re always on time, and you put in a good day’s work, who is the
type of person others strive to be, had to go home that day to inform his wife
(my niece) and his two young diabetic children that, along with everything else that losing a job entails, that beginning November 1<sup>st</sup> they will have no medical insurance. No
insurance to cover all the necessities that special needs diabetic children
require.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They say that God never gives you more than you can handle,
but sometimes you have to ask yourself…when is enough, enough? Over the past 10 years we have had….my
employer went out of business leaving me without a job, my husband had a heart
attack, we had to file bankruptcy, I fell into a deep depression, my niece was
diagnosed as bipolar and her two young children, within a month of each other, despite the enormous odds the doctors gave her, had both her young children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Not to mention....a young cousin was discovered to have anorexia, my sister
had to have a double mastectomy for breast cancer, and her husband (my
brother-in-law) was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay God….I’m saying it….Enough!!! Please….enough…..enough.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please pray for my family…I would be ever so grateful.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Hi There Everyone From a
beautifully sunny, but also very humid, Indiana. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I have a few issues I would
really love to discuss with everyone and I WOULD ask that those who can please
respond to these messages. I really value and actually need everyone’s
input please. As my website and blog along with all of the free patterns,
tutorials, etc., are aimed at pleasing all of you; that makes your opinion
twice as important to me.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">First I want to sincerely thank
everyone who wrote me a note or signed my guest book thanking me for the free
patterns. You all have been so incredibly sweet…..and I will never forget
nor will I ever take for granted that which you all have given me.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 13.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I
also once again have to specify that my patterns are all copyrighted. You
may “sew” or “complete” the pattern to sell at craft shows, etc., but you may
NOT sell the patterns. The patterns are copyrighted and not yours to
sell. Not to mention that I am giving them away for free. I,
unfortunately, found another person on eBay who is selling my patterns.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">So I would love it if anyone who
has the time could go to my website, download one of my patterns, if you have not
already done so, and please tell me if my copyright is obvious to you. If
not, then this is not their fault and I need to make it more prominent and
obvious to those who are downloading my patterns.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Okay….here’s the real reason for
this letter. If you have not already noticed, I have not been actively
creating new patterns for a couple of years now. My sewing machines both
went down at the same time. That along with some other issues prompted my
stopping. I always intended to start back up again but for some reason I
just never did. Since then my attention has been demanded elsewhere and
I’ve never had the time needed to jump back into pattern making. However,
I think I would like to start the newsletter up again. Now the newsletter
always had a new pattern in it for all of you, the subscribers, from Lillie
Mae’s Crafts. Since I’m not actively creating new patterns, I thought
perhaps you all would like a little free advertising. All of those who
have their own businesses and even those who don’t would be eligible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">It would, of course, be
free. Anyone who would like to
participate would just email me with a description of their website, blog,
etc., and a description of the free pattern they have to offer. I would then get back with them and together
we would design their “ad” for the newsletter.
I have a pretty strong and long following for my newsletter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Those of you who might be
interested in such a deal…..let me know ASAP!
Anyone who has any suggestions, questions, etc., please, as usual, don’t
hesitate to drop me a note.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Thanks much everyone and have a
safe summer.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Blessings,</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello Everyone from a VERY RAINY INDIANA….</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First I want to sincerely thank everyone who wrote to me
about my blog about a “Throw Away.” I
really debated with myself on whether or not to post it, but in the end, it was
very therapeutic and helpful. Please
also accept my apologies for not answering everyone or posting anything more
about it until now. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To clarify a bit about that post which I’m sure seemed a bit
cryptic to some, it was about a man who abused me. It was physical, sexual, and emotional abuse which
started when I was just a child and continued until I was a young adult. I started in therapy as a young adult and
have been in and out of therapy over this for years. I really felt I had dealt with it and all of its
issues. I was mistaken.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shortly after Bob and I married we considered moving. However, Bob and I both have family and friends
here, and neither of us really wanted to move.
So it was a happy surprise when this person moved instead…and had been
gone for years and years. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, right before I posted “Do You Know What a
Throw Away is? he had moved back. This brought
back all the memories. But on the other
hand, shouldn’t we all rise to a challenge? And this has been a challenge for
me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every day since I posted that I would check in and read the
sweet notes my “friends” left for me.
You cannot know what every little note and email message left for me and
sent to me has meant. You really do feel
so very much alone when you’re going through such an ordeal….but I no longer
feel alone ….thanks to all of you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bless You All,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brenda</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">P.S. I want to draw everyone’s’
attention to my new picture. It’s been quite
a few years since I started this blog and posted the picture of me as a blonde
(with my niece Debbie at her wedding).
Well I thought it might be nice for you all to meet the “present time”
me….and yes, I’m a natural brunette. The
picture isn’t that great, but I really felt that ‘therapeutic-wise” posting the
new picture now was a good idea. I’ll
post a better one when I have a chance to get one taken.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you know what a throw away is? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’m writing this I think as more or less a form of
therapy. Hoping, I think, that if I put
pen to paper (so to speak) perhaps it will stop haunting me. If I bring out in the open that which I have
spent a lifetime hiding…perhaps then it will stop haunting me. Since I know that most, if not all, of my
family have no knowledge or interest in this blog….that makes it safe. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh yeah…what is a throw away you ask? I am a throw away. At least that’s what I spent my childhood
believing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do you do….where do you go…..when your world crumbles
down around you??? In therapy for years to forget? no not forget…to cope, to be
able to handle memories which haunt your every waking hour and even into the
night. Finally though, finally over the
years you have to say to yourself, “I’m there.”
I can handle what I can remember and you file it away in the hopes that
nothing and I do mean N-O-T-H-I-N-G happens at any time in your life that might
spark one of those memories. You file
them away and you try with everything you have not to remember. It takes a while before they are not the
first thing that enters your head when you wake and the last to leave when you
go to sleep. But….after many years you’re
there and you find yourself able to appreciate…no not just appreciate, you find
yourself actually enjoying each day of your life. And for several years you are able to skip
by, to escape if you will….and it is heaven.
Then…something happens, the panic and fear almost forgotten grabs you
and once again the darkness overtakes your life. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought I was the only one, but I wasn’t….there was one more...a
loved one. I escaped thinking I was the
only target. A throw away…that’s how you
feel. As if your life and indeed your
very soul have no worth…no value….which makes you a throw away. Somehow I thought the other one was loved….safe…but
I was wrong. How do you cope with the
feelings of guilt???....how could I have not seen it??? And the tears once more flow and you find
yourself struggling to stay afloat….but you know you have to. So you reach out to those who have proved to
you over the years they can be trusted.
You reach out and you hold on….and you hold on.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Hello Everyone from Rainy Indiana</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I regret that family emergencies have taken "forever" it seems to work themselves out. And just when I think it's safe to take my focus away from family and back to my passion, which of course is creating my patterns, then another emergency arises. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I do so want to thank all of you who have been loyal followers of Lillie Mae's Crafts. So many of you have written to express your gratitude for the free patterns....which definitely puts a smile on my face. It is all of you that make it all worthwhile.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And it is those same loyal readers who were kind enough to alert me to the 2 stores on E-Bay who were selling my patterns. As far as I'm concerned this is the same as stealing. I have taken the steps I deem necessary and hopefully this will be resolved shortly. Those 2 stores had other patterns for sale which unfortunately I have to assume are probably stolen from another designer. For those of you reading this, if any of you are pattern designers yourself, I would be on the lookout for your patterns being sold on E-Bay also.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Regrettably I have to assume that there are probably more stores on E-Bay that have my stolen patterns for sale. I am seriously considering taking my store down. I love designing patterns though and actually have a few new patterns that I still haven't listed. I have considered creating a store where a "membership" is required before anyone is allowed to download any patterns. This at least would give me names of anyone downloading my patterns and perhaps a little more protection in that area. I'm not even sure how that is done.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">What I do know is that I'm so very disappointed...and very hurt. </span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If anyone else has any suggestions on how to protect my patterns, please drop me a note. And...if anyone else sees my patterns for sale somewhere else....please let me know.</span></span><br />
<br />
NOTE: If I do find anyone else selling my patterns on E-Bay, I will not give them the chance of taking them down before I take other measures as I have before. I'm really tired of trying to be the "nice guy." They certainly know that these are NOT their patterns...they know it's stealing. The next person I find that has stolen my patterns and listed them for sale on E-Bay...I'll email or call E-Bay right away to let them know that this particular person has stolen merchandise for sale.</div>Brendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08838363306294491461noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652035859717259191.post-66361038861307021232011-11-25T09:16:00.001-05:002011-11-25T09:31:19.190-05:00<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hi Everyone,</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once again I'm asking for some advice...p-l-e-a-s-e (lol). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The pictures below are of a lotion that I found and purchased at...one of my all time favorite shopping spots...Goodwill!!!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is actually a brand of lotion that I have read about, but found to be a little pricey for me...so I was so excited to have found this at Goodwill...paid $1.99 for it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, there aren't any instructions given on the bottle and I haven't been able to find this same bottle anywhere yet on the web.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I took a close up of the bottle so you could clearly see the name ... and it says:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Shiseido</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Skin Lotion (Rich)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Yes...it does look more like a toner, but I have found this brand to have some "whitening" lotions and other lotions that look the same as this lotion does, but they are in a different type bottle and, of course, do not say "skin lotion (rich)" as this bottle does.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I even thought that perhaps it was perfume (even though the label clearly says it's lotion), and it does have a wonderful scent, however, when applied to the skin, the scent disappears.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If anyone could advise me on this...I would be so grateful as I LOVE this find of mine and would love to be able to use this lotion. From what I've read about Shiseido, this brand is suppose to work wonders for those fine lines and wrinkles...so...HELP!!!

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Whew! Hello everyone from dreary, rainy Indiana. I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've posted and since I've sent out a newsletter. But...I have good news. I'll be sending out a newsletter soon...and I thought I'd post a few pics of one of the new patterns. This is Rag-a-Muffin & Her Raggedy Quilt. Rag-a-Muffin has hair made of rags and her very own raggedy star quilt. I loved designing her and hopefully you will all enjoy making her.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now...I do have a favor to ask of all of you. I have something very special I'd like to make for my hubby for Christmas. I recently came across 3 old pictures of his father...whom he adored. Now you have to understand how rare and how very unlikely it is that I came across these pictures. Bob's mother had Alzheimer's and consequently threw away anything and everything that had any personal value at all. I mean...no pictures of the family...AT ALL. No pictures of Bob and his brother when t hey were little...no school projects of theirs...nothing. I do have a few pics of Bob though...very few. But...they do happen to coincide with these pictures I found of his dad....and what I want to do is to put the pictures together. Sorry...I'm sure there's a technical term for it...but I don't know it. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have a picture of Bob's dad in his army uniform...and I also have a few pictures of Bob in Viet Nam in his uniform. I have a picture of his Dad playing the guitar and I have a picture of Bob playing the guitar. I want to put the two army pictures together and the two guitar pictures together to appear as though he and his dad are in the same picture. Do you know what I mean?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Okay...now I know there's software you can purchase that will produce what I want...but I have no idea what it's called?...where to go to look?....no idea at all. And...the cheaper the better as I also want to get these matted and framed professionally.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So...please guys. Your help, advice, ideas...would be so appreciated. So if you can help me out at all...just drop me a note at....lilliemaescrafts@yahoo.com</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Blessings everyone,</span></span><br />

There are times when life just gets in your way...ya know what I mean? (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">lol</span>)<br /><br />First I want to thank everyone for including my family in their prayers. I do believe in the miracle of prayers and so far things are pretty good.<br /><br />I do have a few announcements for everyone. First; I have 3 sewing machines and one by one they've broke down; the third one just went down recently. So until I can get them into the shop, I will have to put a hold on my patterns. And..if that wasn't enough, my digital camera went down also meaning that I can't put any pictures up on my site, in the newsletter, etc. So I will need to replace that some how or get this old one working before I can put out another newsletter. This only means that my next newsletter may be a month or two late...but I will be back.<br /><br />For you animal lovers out there, let me introduce you to Woody and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Poco</span>. Bob and I did a little animal rescue yesterday. We found the two little <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">furbabies</span> pictured above at a kill animal shelter 1 hour away. Both are rat terrier mixes. The first one is Woody. Woody was a senior with cataracts and was very thin. Our first visit to the vet, however, revealed that this sweet little one was more ill than anyone thought. Cuddled snugly and safely in my arms, this little one crossed over the Rainbow Bridge knowing how it felt to be loved at least once in his life.<br /><br />The second picture is of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Poco</span> (means little). Our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">veterinarian</span> estimates his age at about 4 months, and he was surprisingly healthy...if a little thin. Unfortunately though we haven't been able to get him to eat. He started to eat once and one of the other dogs growled at him and we haven't been able to get him to eat anything <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">substantial</span> since. He has eaten a few treats, but nothing more. He also has diarrhea. Now I know from the many <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">furbabies</span> we've adopted over the years, that diarrhea is not unusual as their tummies need to adjust to the new food, etc.<br /><br />We've tried people food, baby food, puppy food, etc. I even bought some pet gravy and poured it over his dry food...still he didn't eat. If he doesn't eat by tomorrow, back to the vet we go. So....keep this little one in your prayers please. He's just the sweetest little thing....and in just 2 days he and I have bonded very deeply. If anyone has any advice....by all means drop me a note.<br /><br />That's all of my news. I hope everyone is having a great evening.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Brenda<br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span>Brendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08838363306294491461noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652035859717259191.post-44232852638383961892011-06-14T22:35:00.004-04:002011-06-14T23:12:05.389-04:00Asking for Prayers Again...Please!!!<span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:130%;" >The e-mails I received wishing me well and promising prayers were so kind and so-o-o appreciated. I am feeling better....thank you.

I do have an EEG scheduled for the 22nd.<br /><br />I do so believe in the miracle of prayers....so I am once again asking for your prayers. This time for my mother. She lives so far away...she's in Arizona and I'm in Indiana. Now in her 80's, her health has always been very good. Now....they found a spot on one of her kidneys which, even without testing, they are calling cancer. At the time though (a few days ago), they didn't seem to concerned....they were going to remove that portion of that kidney and start her on radiation.<br /><br />Now....they did a bone scan but avoided giving us the results. Instead they did x-rays of her legs. They're telling us that all the results 0f all the tests should be in on Tuesday and they were discuss everything with us then.<br /><br />Because of personal issues, I am unable to be with my mother. My sister (Kathy) is there....doing what she can. Please pray for strength for her.<br /><br />My husband (Bob), who works midnights, came home at 1 a.m. this morning....sick. My husband NEVER takes off work for being sick. And....the last time he was this ill he ended up in the hospital. More prayers for him please.<br /><br />And...I looked down at my hand about an hour ago and just realized that the main diamond in my wedding ring is gone...is that a bad sign do you think???<br /><br />Nothing is looking up at the moment and even though I am an optimistic by nature....it's getting harder and harder to hold on to.<br /><br />****Pause****telephone rings.<br /><br />Okay...just spoke with my mother and she sounds pretty good. Hopefully she's not overly optimistic and that her "up" mood rightly expresses what really is going on. Hate being so far away. But....we have tried, are trying, and will continue to try to get them to move back to Indiana. So far....no luck.<br /><br />Thanks everyone...so very much,<br />Brenda</span>Brendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08838363306294491461noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652035859717259191.post-39938895426828621992011-05-09T19:36:00.001-04:002011-05-09T19:38:59.686-04:00Need

faster and faster.<br />Well the June newsletter is finished and ready. When I think of June I always think of a June bride. Perhaps because I was a June bride...so I just had to include a bridal pattern. Included in the newsletter is also a wedding picture of mine as well as a little short story of an event that happened at my wedding. Curious?<br /><br />I do want to thank everyone who took a minute or two to drop me a note and vote about the doll pattern. I heard you all...and when I took a moment to really look at the Annie Blue Eyes doll I realized that you were all right...none of the patterns I was trying to select one from just simply weren't right for this pattern. So....I created a new pattern which seems to compliment Annie Blue Eyes much better. I hope you all agree.<br /><br />Click on the picture to download the newsletter.<br /><br />Have a great day everyone,<br />Brenda</span></p>Brendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08838363306294491461noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652035859717259191.post-63929347038876144712011-04-24T21:08:00.006-04:002011-04-24T21:17:54.333-04:00Help me choose a pattern.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ZrAw7RHIBVcWTLSBFkr9dqpdvQdsyWeL0VXA3sv0oSoyNowzsCM3jf1dabmThuUXq7fCLghiqrmcr8v5dV-mNW7tdVL1PBXO-dLpYb1NK0daz2kGioeHKUBb8YQ4nsejIpBBDG5xfM4/s1600/annieblueeyestest2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 198px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ZrAw7RHIBVcWTLSBFkr9dqpdvQdsyWeL0VXA3sv0oSoyNowzsCM3jf1dabmThuUXq7fCLghiqrmcr8v5dV-mNW7tdVL1PBXO-dLpYb1NK0daz2kGioeHKUBb8YQ4nsejIpBBDG5xfM4/s400/annieblueeyestest2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599323220705243474" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPhfredSOiU_JBZeQQ5sD6yX2x2Mf4EMElh7HsAfoctTpTGQNfnPQwtKoIm71V1c8xnGhjl1byMr4iNTXEBfhiad3bD2RVaVQ7NkIdUSqDN0_DHN_Km6YN0C1epvKIKLn76BxAv2zl4Nk/s1600/annieblueeyes4-3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 182px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPhfredSOiU_JBZeQQ5sD6yX2x2Mf4EMElh7HsAfoctTpTGQNfnPQwtKoIm71V1c8xnGhjl1byMr4iNTXEBfhiad3bD2RVaVQ7NkIdUSqDN0_DHN_Km6YN0C1epvKIKLn76BxAv2zl4Nk/s400/annieblueeyes4-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599322987961887714" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw12qrv9BkbudgR9psnqb2wbxRUm6VudJ8bJcVk6AZ8YA6Bf8ceRSDSL6IrlQEwcdjswOYzGBq-q2ue1SoHqzILAIyR79DMDrYZBjXw7woYW-bq4AwUiJcTb-spPCXy4qDeh2SPEBdCD0/s1600/annieblueeyestest1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 187px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw12qrv9BkbudgR9psnqb2wbxRUm6VudJ8bJcVk6AZ8YA6Bf8ceRSDSL6IrlQEwcdjswOYzGBq-q2ue1SoHqzILAIyR79DMDrYZBjXw7woYW-bq4AwUiJcTb-spPCXy4qDeh2SPEBdCD0/s400/annieblueeyestest1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599322979155443362" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Happy Easter everyone.
