UDATE ON MOM THANK YOU

Hi Everyone!

 

I can't get to my FB on mom's PC so I am glad my blog posts are linked there.

First I am overwhelmed at the emails, comments, and posts for my mom. Thank you from the top and the bottom of my heart. All of the prayers and healing energy is working so far.

 

Mom went directly into surgery from the ER. I spoke to the surgeon before and after the surgery. There is a wonderful team of people at the Three Rivers Hospital in Grants Pass, OR. 

The surgery went well. Mom had significant infection and fluids in her stomach from a ruptured bowel. The lining of the bowel was dead due to lack of blood flow at one time.  Dr. Frost, the surgeon, a wonderful lady, took her time and expertise to take care of all the problems. Because of mom's terrible lungs she was on a respirator but was taken off yesterday. When I saw mom I was so happy that she actually looked pretty good. Ya  know for being drugged up and 4 IV's coming out of her arm. I was actually able to speak to mom on the phone last night for just a few minutes. We are not out of the woods yet but she is doing better than any one thought she would. Again thank you so much for all the warmth and love sent our way.

MY MOM IS IN HOSPITAL

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to tell you that I will be away from home. My mom is in hospital. Not sure what is wrong. She is 84 and most of you know how close we are and how much time we spend together. 

Please send healing energy and prayers. 

My Beadwright etsy store and website will be closed until further notice.

I am sure that most of you are busy today cooking, being with family and friends. I am making Mike turkey and some ambrosia salad that he has been drooling after for the last few days. LOL Other than that phone calls to the kids and grand kids. 

What ever you day is we wish you happiness and love.

BEYOND THRILLING ART

Hi Everyone!

Hope your weekend is exactly what you want it to be. I have a few things planned today including cleaning. You know I clean all the time but I hate clutter so the pantry is getting a work over today. LOL

So put all that aside I discovered a great video this morning. It is an OMG moment. Looks just like regular paper sculpture right? Haaa watch the video you will be astonished.

This first video click on the little cog to settings for English. It will give you subtitles.

This video shows an even better example of just how much movement is in a sculpt. It is only a minute or so long. You will NOT want to miss this.

I would love to see this in real time or actually I would love to own one of these sculpts.

A GREAT PLACE TO EAT IN EUGENE OREGON

Hi Everyone!

A few weeks ago Mike and I had to go to town. Ya know Eugene, Oregon because Florence simply sucks for shopping. Anyway we don't usually eat out when we go to town but this day we decided to try a place in the River Valley Mall. It is upstairs away from the food court. The place is open with a very nice atmosphere. It is so open that you can watch the cooks preparing the food. Mike turned to me and said, " I just watched the cook make my burger patty" I could hear it sizzling on the grill, I said, "Yes I can hear it." Mike says, "No I watched her form the patty it is not a premade frozen piece of meat" When our food arrived it was beautifully prepared. The we learned that all the meats and produce are organic, grass fed and grown in Oregon. All the breads and  pies are made from scratch including the burger buns. I had a veggie sandwich that was perfect. You would think that with everything so fresh and hand made the prices would be sky high. NOT AT ALL in fact less expensive that other places. I was so pleased with the experience I asked for some business cards to pass out. If you live in or are going to Eugene, Oregon stop in at the Valley River Mall and head upstairs to the Terrace Cafe. You will be so glad you did.

CHRISTMASS STOCKING

Hi Everyone!

You know I am a huge supporter of supporting others. When I find something or someone that I think others would be interested in I try to get the word out. Yesterday I met a very nice lady who lives not to far from me in Myrtle Point, OR. Her web site is perfect for this time of year.

It is The Holiday Stocking Co.! How perfect is that? We all know how busy this time of year is and making those stockings can get a way from us. Why not have them made by Charlene Faulkner? You can add any personal touch that you like and the price is so reasonable.

She even has them for Hanukkah.

 

 

But that is not all! She has jewelry pieces and fine art by  Richard Faulkner. His art is just stunning!

Stop by to say hello to Charlene. You can also reach her at these sites.

PAINT PARTY FRIDAY NOV 14

Hi Everyone!

Happy Paint Party Friday. Thanks to Eva and Kristen we have a party every week. Come join us by stopping in to see what artists from all over the world are creating. Or maybe you have some art you would like to share. Either way it is so mush fun and the 

artists are some of the nicest people you will meet.

So the last few weeks I have been MIA with my blog but I have been busy in the art studio. First I needed some warmer/winter curtains. I had some old floor length insulated curtains that were white. No that won't for for me especially for the art studio. So on a sunny day I took the curtains out to the yard. Grabed a box of old craft acrylics and just had fun.

 I loved painting these curtains and they are perfect in the studio.

 I have several other paintings and some leather work finished but it has been so dark from the stormy weather I can't get good photos. So next week.

Have a great weekend!

I'M STILL HERE LOL

Hi Everyone!!

I know it has been a few weeks since I blogged. I have been busy getting our home winterized and just in the nick of time. It has turned cold, windy and rainy. After such a beautiful summer here in Florence I guess it is time for our normal weather. LOL 

Yesterday we had to go to town. Ya know Eugene, for some shopping and for a special item I must wear  now when I go out. lupus... reallyyyy can you just leave me alone. LOL (That is said in my sarcastic voice LOL)  So all summer I have been feeling pretty good with the exception of lupus rash from the sun. The one thing I crave, sun, and now I can't go out in it unless I have a covering over my face. Sooooooo I have found some pretty nice ones online but wanted to see and feel them. I was lucky to find a 50+ FPS covering that is a tube of fabric that goes over your head. It looks like a scarf, then all I have to do is pull up the edge and cover my face. It is pretty comfortable too.

I am looking for one that has a skeleton on it. LOL I think that would be pretty cool. I've seen them just want one that has a bit of color. 

Other than that life is good and looking forward to 2015.

Wow when you were a kid did you ever say to yourself. "hmmm wonder what I will be doing in 2015?" Ha bet not. Have a great day!
