Time Flies

Yep, time flies when you're having fun :)  And fun is what I've been having.  I swear, I am addicted to my Cameo. I blame this on Carol. She showed me cards she had made with hers and I was hooked.  Therefore, Carol is responsible for my addiction.  :D

I've made cards, little boxes, little bags, little lanterns, some big lanterns - the list goes on and on.  And THEN I discovered I can convert some files to .studio files to use with the Cameo.  WELL, this has just opened up a whole 'nother avenue of stuff to make.  So for the last 3 days, I've been downloading free files like a mad(wo)man.  I can't stop!  I need a 12 step program or something. Hello, my name is Morado and I'm a Cameo-holic.

Anyway, here's a peek at a few things I've made.

These are just a few things I've made, but I'm pleased with how they turned out.

In other news, my dialysis is going great.  No more jelly legs, thank the Maker.  That was SCARY.

My sister's coming to spend the weekend. I'm looking forward to that.  No telling what we'll get into.

The adventures of Fuzz E. Butt also continue.  She gets fluffier by the day.  She is just so darn CUTE.  She bats at everything that passes by her and that includes the other kitties, me, sunbeams, air......unfortunately, although it is January, she found a baby snake somewhere and brought it to the house.  I DO NOT LIKE SNAKES.  They freak me out.  Things should have legs to move.  Thank goodness this was a tiny baby snake, only about 4 inches long.  But hey, a snake is a snake.  <shiver>

I'm looking forward to NASCAR starting up again in February.  Here's a way cool picture of my favorite driver's car.  Gooooooo Jimmie!!

I must admit, I have a Jimmie Johnson poster and a Jimmie Johnson Boyd's Bear :D  The bear lives on the top shelf of my desk

Well, I see I'm rambling and not saying anything of any importance, so I shall sign off for the night.

Til later,

Way Behind!

Wow, am I behind on blogging!  Well, it's been a busy few weeks. I had the embroidery machine, the sewing machine, and the Cameo humming!  I made cute little boxes for the girls at dialysis, and filled them with candy, I made Christmas cards and Christmas tags, all with the Cameo.  I made angel gift boxes with the embroidery machine, and put them together with the sewing machine.

Christmas was wonderful at our house. We had our usual grazing table for Christmas Eve - hot dips, cold dips, sausage balls, pigs in a blanket, cheese, cheese balls, crackers and chips. Then for Christmas dinner, we had cornish hens, dressing, corn pudding, copper pennies and yeast rolls.  Santa was also very good to all of us.  It was a wonderful time!

The only blemish on the holiday was that I had on way too much fluid when I went back to dialysis after not going for 3 days.  Bad me, I will never do that again.  I was short of breath and had 'jelly legs', so called because your legs feel like just that - jelly - and feel like they are going to buckle at any second.  But thanks to the good ladies at dialysis, they got the fluid off and I felt a WHOLE lot better leaving dialysis than I did arriving!

My niece and her little boy were able to come on Thursday after Christmas. My niece is a nurse and usually has to work the holidays, so we usually don't get to see them til late January or early February, so it was a special treat to have them with us at Christmas.  The litte Buckeroo is really growing.  Gosh, he's almost 8!  But he'll always be my little Buckeroo :)  He got an XBox for Christmas, which his mother and I promptly took over to play WWE! It was a blast.  Hmmmmmmmm.....I may need to see about getting one.

New Year's was quite.  Not really a lot to do in a town of 1,000 people.  Not like when I lived in Atlanta.  Or Detroit.  Or Philadelphia. :D  But honestly I enjoyed the quiet.  I needed time to rest and recharge after the whirlwind of the holidays.

I'll post some pictures of my craft projects in a few days, once I get them off the camera and resized.

Here's hoping everyone had a wonderful Christmas season, and that you have a wonderful, happy 2013 :)

I haven't beeen checking on the orcs and trolls.  Lord only knows what kind of havoc they have wreaked.  However, I can't bother with them tonight, as a Steven Seagal movie is on, and watching Steven Seagal kick ass is a most fun thing!

Til later,
Morado
