Busy weekend

I see that once again I have been a slacker with my blog. Guess that means I have been really busy with work and I admit it playing on the new computer trying to figure out many things. I think I have a few mastered and now have figured out how to blog on a new system. Wasn't hard I just needed to get it done.

We have been blessed with lots and lots of rain this month. I am so ready for blue sunny skies , no clouds and warm sunshine. I do have to say there has been beautiful fluffy dark clouds but I have had enough and am ready for the sun.


My sister has a love of counted cross stitch and samplers. I was so surprised to receive this beautiful sampler from her. The hours of work stitching this had to have been so many. I love it and have it hanging up already

This morning I received a phone call from my daughter Jenn asking me if I wanted to go with her and Sadera for pedis this morning. Ummm ya!!!! So off we headed to our favorite place and relaxed as we received a most relaxing pedi. I chose red and hearts, Jenn was a coral and hearts and Sadera decided on a manicure with lavender polish and white and gold hearts. Following the pedis I was taken to lunch at one of the Vick's favorite places Oreganos in Tempe. can I just say yum yum yum. A good relaxing lunch. Great way to start my weekend

Tomorrow is my Valentine Banner event. There are 10 of us getting together to make a Valentine Banner. Each of us were given a letter and then we design our piece and make 9 kits to share. It should be alot of fun. My letter was "I" and this is what I came up with.

And here is the envelope I made to hold all of their goodies and the kit supplies.


More to come tomorrow as I will have pics of my banner assembled.

Final Goodbyes

Image
It has been a gut wrenching sad and emotional two months for the Struchen's. We have said our final goodbyes with many tears, laughter, sadness and breaking hearts. Dad passed on Feb 25th and now Mom has joined him on March 10th.  We knew Mom was very ill but none of us expected that she would go so very quickly. And now as my sister says we are orphans.  We are still family but right now without Dad and Mom to bring us and keep us all together as they had worked so hard to do all these years. As I had written on Caring Bridge Dad was our hero, our mentor our DAD.  It is so hard to realize there are no more early am text messages or emails  no more 4pm Sunday phone calls.  There is a giant void in my heart Mom seemed to think she always took a back seat to Dad.  But she was always there to help us, give us strength hold us to a higher standard.  "We Struchen women are tough" she used to tell me when I was needing a listening ear.  "You c...

Where did the weekend go????

Image
It doesn't seem to matter if I have 3 days off or a normal Saturday & Sunday off, it is never ever enough. Here it is already 7pm and I am getting ready for work tomorrow. Last early day and then back to the old routine. So what did I accomplish this weekend?? not too much as far as the home front goes. Just the usual laundry and clean but no yard work. Now on the creative level I had a great inspiring weekend. I rode to Payson with Earleen and Annette on Sat am for a class by the 2 gypsy girls Debbie and Paula . I had my doubts I could construct a house that would stand. Due the patience of the 2 Gyspsie Girls my house is still standing today:) I loved this class. The roof holds the little album and the clever use of the 7 Gypsy elastics made the page signatures so easy. After class we joined Annette and her family at their reunion. Invited crashers we were. We feasted on Alaskan Salmon thank you Robert and all the yummy goodies from a reunion. A couple of q...
