JULY 20, 2008 WE ARE DOING OKAY

Well, little Miprezious and I did real well last week.

I am continuing to work on my "RSD Awareness Ribbon" Flatfold and attempting very first SPRING Biscornu!! It seems like I stitch a life time on each and every piece!! But, the feeling of completion is so great!! I think now, that once again my nerves are calmed down that we will be just fine and begin the period of healing by just stitching every spare moment I have!!

I truly feel now, that Max enjoyed making me more and more the invalid he so desired!! But, I am trying to do a little more each day and slowly, but ever so surely I am seeming real progress in cleaning up of several "hot" spots to me and plan to continue on pursuing only complete perfection!!

Well, off to R & R stitching!!

Much Love and Hugs!!
Deborah and Miprezious

JULY 17, 2008 THURSDAY DAY ONE

It has been a beautiful day!! However, we are having the first of very severe heat waves!

I am just reflecting on this day, and deciding "can I go to sleep in my bed tonight, or do I need to put in a few more "x's"

Well, I had my first conversation with Miss Juliana today!! Of course, she is still reeling from the death of her 94-year old mother last week!! But, how does that go? "Necessity is.......................!!

I told her I had an entirely new option for her "to plant the seed of hope" that I can get her to come work for me!! I asked her "would she like to semi-retire"!! This lady works very hard at a local Nursing Home as a second shift Nurse's Aide!! I told her she would be ever so welcome to come to work for me and become a "companion" more than an aide!! I also assured her a legal contract protecting her should I pass before she is wanting to move on!!

I told Miss Juliana, I truly wanted her and would only take on additonal help presently as temps, until she had a chance to clear her mind and make a good decision to benefit both of us!

I do have another interview with LaTosha tomorrow morning!! I think this little gal may be a bit too young to have any thing in common with me, but I want to exhaust all effort trying to make good decisions and get some help that will stay!!

Although, with no longer having "Mr. Fire" in home, quicker than I "can hire" is hopefully going to make a BIG difference!

We had a very laid back day, with just interviews and picking up here and there!! I have some major hours to hopefully spend on my "Stitching Sanctuary"!!

Well, this is NOT that interesting a Blog, so let's spice it up with the new additions to my already much, much too large "rotation"!! I have finishing my first "Spring" Biscornu done first in the lead although!!

I have my ANEMONES BISCORNU, CHINA BLUES, CHERRY PIE and newest DOLLHOUSE all to add!! Now, just to decide fabric!!

Love and Hugs,

Deborah and Miprezious

JULY 12, 2008 RAK FROM MEARI

TODAY IS MY MOTHER'S 80TH BIRTHDAY, BUT I GOT GIFTED!!

MEARI SHOWED A NEW IDEA SOME TIME LAST WEEK ON HER BLOG!! SHE DEMONSTRATED A NEAT NEW WAY TO KEEP YOUR FLOSS TOGETHER WHEN WORKING ON A PROJECT!! ANOTHER GREAT NEW IDEA!!

AND, TODAY, MY MAIL BROUGHT THIS VERY FLOSS TAG TO ME WHERE IT WILL BE ANOTHER COVETED AND VERY CHERISHED POSSESSION OF MINE!! THIS IS MADE IN MY COLORS AND IS OF MY FAVORITE THING - TEAPOTS!! I TRULY LOVE IT!!

VERY LITTLE BEEN HAPPENING AS I HAVE BEEN TRYING, WITH ALL MY MIGHT, TO GET A SMALL LITTLE PIECE STITCHED FOR A NEW FINISHING CYBERCLASS!! THIS STITCHED PROJECT WAS DUE LAST WEEK, BUT I JUST COULD NOT GET IT DONE!! SPENT EVERY WAKING HOUR ON IT AGAIN THIS WEEK!! THIS IS VERY FRIGHTENING FOR ME, AS THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY EASY PROJECT TO HAVE GOTTEN FINISHED A VERY LONG TIME AGO!!

BUT, IT WILL BE FINISHED TONIGHT OR TOMORROW TOPS!!! IT IS AN AWARENESS RIBBON FOR RSD - REFLEX SYMPATHETIC DYSTROPHY!!

HOPEFULLY, I WILL BE LEARNING HOW TO DO A "FLATFOLD" SO I CAN GET MORE THINGS FINISHED MOR ECONOMICALLY!!

HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL BE THE WEEK THAT I CAN GET CAUGHT UP!!!

I HAVE MANY POSTINGS TO CATCH UP ON, INCLUDING BICKFORD ASSISTED LIVING, AND MAX'S DIALYSIS!!!

LOVE AND HUGS,
DEBORAH AND MAX
AND MIPREZIOUS, TOO!!
