Proud!!

 I'm so proud of my nephew, Jeffrey, who graduation from high school on Tuesday and my niece, Tara, who will graduate from junior high school next Tuesday. They're all grown up now!!

Did I really need all this?

I just ordered a ton of new paintbrushes. I'm not sure why...I just cleaned out and cleaned off my desk and put all my paint brushes into containers and I have so many. Now I have enough to last years. Ha! I couldn't resist though and I do have some sets that I put together on my website now. I put together my favorite ones for painting dolls, so there's no guess work! Of course when I ordered those, I had to order some extras for myself. ;)

These are just some of the paint brushes I got together when I cleaned out my studio a while back. I'm sure they will be used though!!

Hadley a year later!

I was looking through my pictures and found one of Hadley just a year ago. I couldn't believe how much she has grown! The one on the right was taken this week, so you can see the difference. She is still full of energy and so much fun for all of us! After she recovered, the rest of the kitties still weren't feeling well and she didn't have any playmates. That was kind of sad! Finally she & Pumpkin had a wrestling match in the living room, so I knew things were getting back to normal!!! FINALLY!

I listed a few new pieces of jewelry on my website this week. Click here to see my new pieces. Hope you like them!!

New wool curls!

I have some new wool curls on my website....I have tiny wool curls for Santa beards back in stock, plus some new colors (nearly black, charcoal, silver and a brown/gray blend). Click here to see the new colors. Hoping to keep adding  to the colors soon.

I've had a lot going on lately. I live near where the tornadoes came through last month. Our house wasn't hit, but we were out of power for almost a week. That was hard to get used to! My parents, in-laws and my sister's properties all had damage. One sister lives in Rainsville where there was so much damage, so it barely missed her. We were the lucky ones....so many lost their homes and loved ones. Its so sad!

During the power outages I had some sick kitties too! Hadley started sneezing, then they all started getting it. Hadley wasn't too sick, but it was rough on some of them. All the male cats had at least one day they wouldn't eat and they were really sick. I don't know if that's a coincidence or not. Sissy was only sick for a couple of days, but Bilbo and Mr. Spock are still trying to recover after over 2 weeks. I know it was worse on them because Bilbo has heart problems and Mr. Spock is in renal failure. Pumpkin refused to eat and was dehydrated and had to spend one night at the vet's office. Bilbo had fluid (heart & lungs) so that was scary. Mr. Spock has an inner ear infection again, so I felt like all I was doing was giving medicines for a while! All are better, but Spock and Bilbo will take a little longer to get better, I think. After all this stress, I am needing a vacation, but don't know when that will happen!! Can't leave them now, that's for sure!
