Angels

I really love the paintings in this era of art.

I've been a fan of it since I was a child. 

I just wanted to share this collage with you.

Today is cookie baking day here... my

son will be sharing with his class tomorrow,

so I better get busy!!! :)  

Enjoy your day and stay blessed.

May angels watch over you always

and keep you safe...

Happy Thursday! 

Stars Shining Bright - A poem

Stars Shining Bright

Our Father will open His heavenly gates

Embracing each beautiful soul that awaits

Tears gently falling from soft clouds above

Surrounding each precious angel with love

Holding them close in His loving arms

Keeping them safe from any more harm

Until the day arrives when families reunite once again

Loving memories shall be cherished in our hearts until then

You are loved by the world and you will never be forgotten.

May all precious angels rest in peace and keep 

their families comforted with their loving hearts, 

beautiful souls, and the stars shining bright as their smiles.

Update & Pics

Hello friends! I'm sorry I've been a bit

quiet lately, many things on my mind. 

Sending out love, prayers and deepest 

sympathy to Connecticut families and their

loved ones. I've been missing my family, 

my ex boyfriend and I've just been very sad and 

depressed, trying to get the spirit of Christmas 

going around here. So today, I put some 

more ornaments on the tree, I'm playing Christmas music 

and making some home made pizza for dinner.

I may just make some cookie dough today as well!

I was glued to the tv the past 3 days and just 

crying my heart out, so today the tv is off, unless

 it's a Christmas show! :)

Below are some things I've been working on... 

I've been learning some Tunisian Crochet and

having a bit of fun with that...

Sending love to all... have a wonderful new 

week ahead. Blessings

Above is a Tunisian Crochet stitch something

or other... perhaps a table runner? The yarn isn't

too soft, but I like the way the variegated yarn

looks in this...I'll have to go through my yarn stash

and find some softer variegated yarn... maybe a baby

sweater would be nice with this stitch! 

Above is a hand knit chunky scarf

I have started using stockinette stitch

and bulky brushed acrylic yarn.

Above right and below right

is another Tunisian Crochet stitch,

this one is made with a very soft

teal colored mohair and acrylic blend

yarn...so snuggly! I love it! 

I'm not finished with any of these

projects yet... just working on them

all a little at a time. 

Below is the poor Christmas tree,

barren with no gifts... I put more 

decorations on it today to liven it 

up... I tried to get my son enthused 

about decorating but he's put it

off for a week... so it's up to Mom. 

Below is a stocking I made many years ago

in California... I have a few with different fabrics.

These are all lined so they are nice inside and out!

Especially when filled with Chocolate!! lol

I had to put some of my polar bears under

the tree in a wagon... they look cozy! 

Frosty has to stay out, he may melt!  

Fibre optic trees are really pretty... I like

the fact that I don't have to mess with those

little strings of lights and the tree

looks pretty with or without ornaments!

I have so much more Christmas stuff downstairs,

but I think the tree looks festive enough...

Below are a nice snowman and tree made

out of wood from my youngest son when he was in

pre-school...he's a crafty guy too!  

That's all folks! Enjoy the new week ahead...

Love and blessings to all.

Innocence Lost

Innocence Lost

Innocence lost with the flash of a moment

Screams in the shadows of evil unleashed

Where does this madness awaken from

What is the world to do

Innocent victims, children, families 

Left broken, wondering why

How can something so awful  happen 

In one moment... one flash  

Terrifying our young

Their trust is gone

Innocence lost can't be undone. 

Is there still hope in this evil madness

How do we provide a safe place for our children

People stop... think... love... don't hate.

Don't destroy, don't tarnish their innocence

With the battles you fight within your own soul

Leave our children to stay strong and bold

Not hidden in the shadows of evil

Terrified of dying... innocently crying

Make this world a place of comfort

A place of love

A place where our children feel safe.

Angel Prayer

A short video clip I made today. So many tragedies

happen every day. What has this world come to? 

The lives of innocent children cut short in an instant.

These devastating events must stop!! 

My love, thoughts, prayers, sympathy and 

condolences to all the families affected by this

horrific tragedy. May God give you the strength

to get through this heartbreak.

Show your love, not your hate... 

hug and hold on tight to those you love,

tell them your feelings, don't ever

hesitate to show your love... we all need it.

God bless everyone... always.

Debra

Blog Update

Today I have deleted my other two blogs since I am

never posting on them and mainly just post to this one.

 Thank you to all that have stayed with me here and for your 

friendship and support in my work. I appreciate you one and all!

Lately I haven't been posting too much. I guess I have run

out of energy and drive to do things... but I will get this back.

Today I am working on a beautiful mohair blend scarf.

The yarn is a delight to work with...it's so soft and I happen

to love the color which is teal... one of my favorites!

I'm doing the scarf in a Tunisian crochet which is 

something I've been learning the past few weeks. I 

really love the stitch it creates... it looks woven on

one side and all purl stitches on the opposite side.

Very cool! 

Have a beautiful weekend and be safe.
