Where Has This Month Gone ?

Don't ask.....I have absolutely no idea where this month has gone. It seems as though there are not enough hours in the day to get done all the thing I must do.

I found this little carved wood owl from Europe in my collection of future projects. The pin back was broken so I removed it and with my trusty Dremel , I drilled holes and turned it into the focal piece for a cute Halloween style necklace.

I plan on hiding out in my bedroom tonight because I have no candy for the children. My dogs will go crazy barking every time someone rings the bell. They even bark when a doorbell rings on TV.

Have a Great Halloween

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Oh happy happy joy joy................The weather is getting cooler and I may be able to turn off the air conditioner and open all the doors and windows.

I am so very very busy, I have not had the time to blog. I am so sorry......

Etsy has started a new system and I have had to spend a lot of time making my shops relevant.

Besides making new jewelry for the Christmas season and adding new clothing items to my vintage clothing shop, I have been pretty busy. I have had the good fortune to have every pair of boots, I have listed, Sell !!

Have a great day

Something Good

I don't know why.....but this little video makes me smile. I guess it's because I just like dogs. They are so loveable and seem to enjoy life to the fullest.

Have a wonderful day !!!!

Rest in Peace My Little Friend

I went out early Sunday morning to retrive my garage sale sign from the main road. Several hours later I looked out the front door and saw a small humming bird on the ground near the goldfish pond. He let me gently pick him up. Acording to the web.....he was in distress and would probably die, but I could provide him with a place to rest and necter to drink. If he did not respond and rally within an hour, he would not survive.
I checked on him an hour later and found him laying in the small container I had lined with a paper towel for his comfort. He was a male and was probably too old to make the flight to Mexico. I feel very sad but am glad I was able to make his last few moments stress free. I have buried him in the back garden.

Rest in Peace my little Friend.

For The Love Of "Pluto"

I have been busy this week with the upcoming garage sale and painting a picture for my ex husband of his beloved dog "Pluto". Pluto had to go across the rainbow bridge last week. I know from experience that losing an animal is as hard as losing a child.

It's raining down here is South Texas today. God Bless the rain....the grass, trees, flowers and all are grateful. However the entertainment unit I dragged out of the house and had a neighbor take out to the street is soaked. I was really praying that someone will come by and pick it up.

Have a Great Day !

Sometimes I Feel So Special

Drinking nectar from my hummingbird feeders was the most colorful little bird I have ever seen. My daughter says it's a Baltimore Oriole and sure enough my little bird in the photo looks like an oriole. I saw both a male and a female. The male was driving off the hummers so he and his mate could drink from the feeder.

I think they are on their way to Mexico for the winter. As soon as the weather turns cooler...all my hummers and the little orioles will depart for the warmer desert of Mexico.

God speed.....My little friends.
