Dad

I have been away for quite a while because things have been hectic around here.
 Since Christmas, my Dad had been having difficult breathing issues and we were really worried about him. After lots of Dr. appts and testing, he had to have a second open heart surgery. It was on March 7 and Mandy and I flew to FL with my brother, Rog to be with our parents. He had the surgery then had a really good day after. But, he developed metabolic acidosis and took a turn for the worse......We lost Dad on March10.
Such a SHOCK to us all. Dad was always busy and ready to help anyone do anything. He never like to sit still, always moving. Even though they lived in Florida, we talked multiple times a day. So close to him. It's hard to understand that we will never see him again. Just can't wrap my head around losing him. Don't know when it will sink in?

 I love you, Dad!

AWOL

I have been AWOL on here since Thanksgiving! Still spending too much computer, tablet and iPhone time on Pinterest!! I have found so many great things there. I have been baking and cooking more because of it!  BUT, time to get into cleaning  and organizing the house and sewing rooms!  Actually, got my bathroom closet reorganized today. Yeah! More closets tomorrow!

Happy Thanksgiving

suitcase display

 Totally new display set up this year, I had the corner

 space and had to figure out how to fit it all in.

 Certainly took a while to do!

Halloween Decorating

Just started some Halloween decorating, since I finished my show this past weekend. I am behind everyone this year. Still didn't get pumpkins yet or do all my outside decorating! I was busy making decorations to sell! Got my blog done in Halloween, LOTS left to do! I will post some pictures of my Bedford show later.

(This is my favorite Halloween picture)

Shows

Getting ready for my second show...
Bedford Fall Foliage on
October 6 & 7. We are down to just 2 shows now. And every year I swear I am going to put things on my etsy site. Still haven't. Maybe after Bedford I will figure it out.
Couple pictures from my first show at New Germany, PA...

Getting there...

Well, I'm still in the M's in the Where Bloggers Create list and still have a long way to go. It's been fun checking out everyone's spaces. So many creative people out there. I had been spending all my time on Pinterest and now it's the WBC site. Really got some great ideas in storage and decorating. A BIG thank you to Karen Valentine for doing this for everyone. Great job, Karen!
