First let me say that my inspiration for this is my wonderful mom who passed away Sept.2 2014.<br />
I took care of her for 7 years after my dad passed away. It was one of the most wonderful years of my life, my mom is my best friend and has always been there for me. It has been a hard few months with out her but I know she is here is spirit...<br />

My Sweet mom had a bad lower back and sciatic nerve pain on her right side so I made her some rice packs that she could use to help her with the pain.. She would sit in her recliner and have one on her lower back and the other one would be on the side from her hip going down her leg</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this is what I have been working on..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioGAgbpgc4yl5JUxPwr6rxEyHMYu34sry6anQEtLc0fMo4bo2KNoQYmyEQblU6-jDvz0cpQuIBUOTsdIFbsgBDXn49YfK4iY6iXFm4jNnQPVIEWzRHey0aflkvshl96aTuDQLjidmpg5IN/s1600/DSCN1900%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioGAgbpgc4yl5JUxPwr6rxEyHMYu34sry6anQEtLc0fMo4bo2KNoQYmyEQblU6-jDvz0cpQuIBUOTsdIFbsgBDXn49YfK4iY6iXFm4jNnQPVIEWzRHey0aflkvshl96aTuDQLjidmpg5IN/s1600/DSCN1900%5B1%5D.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I have two sizes.. the square one measures 9 1/2 x 10 inches. and can fit comfortable on the lower back or any part of body as needed.. The rectangle one is 5x 21 inches and it can fit along the side of the leg, around the neck or any part of the body. <br />
What make these different then other rice packs is it has a outer pack that can be taken off and washed to keep it fresh and clean.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are ties at the top to hold it in when in use<br />
<br />
The inner pack is a flannel sewn together with 4 pockets of rice evenly placed in each to keep the rice more even during the heat-cold therapy<br />

She is the sweetest little dog, she comes to me by total accident from my boss at work. Him and his wife felt like they didn't have time for her and so they were looking for a good home for her and my daughter's roommate works with me at the hospital and knew that I was thinking about getting me another puppy and mentioned to him that I was maybe interested in her. Well we kept her for a weekend while he was out of town and we were sold. <br />

I got a shih tzu puppy about 18 to 19 years ago... he name was "Sir Maxwell Benard"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Max for short, and I got him for the reason of I was suffering from <u>Anxiety/Depression</u> and was advised to get a dog to help me through the tough time I was going through and I loved that dog so much and yes he helped me through some really rough times. I really didn't think I would get another dog after he passed away cause I really loved him and didn't think I could feel that way about another one again, and then when I saw Molly and those big eyes just stole my heart.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So If anyone who reads this post and is suffering from depression or has any anxiety maybe a sweet this puppy like Molly just might be something you want to get</div>

I am ready to get my garden planted, flowers in and smell fresh mowed lawn...aaahhh....lol...<br />
It is so pretty this time of year to see all the blossoms on the tree's... just like the primary song..<br />
Popcorn popping on the Apricot Tree... My little grand daughter said it looks like popcorn but not to eat and I told her... later on in the summer we will be eating what is on those trees... <br />
<br />
So I've been busy trying to get some more things on my etsy shop.. I haven't had anything new since Christmas, and I think it is about time I get my butt in gear and start working on it again...<br />

These little pink one are for the infants , one is pulled up in front and the other one the sides are all down one has a rose color flower and the other one is brown and beige flower.<br />
<br />
I am thinking of selling them for $20 dollars each and hope to have them on my shop this week...<br />
<br />
What do you think??? To much or not enough...<br />
That is the hardest part putting a price on things and making it worth my time but not to much that nobody wants to buy...<br />

Each one decorated a envelope with there name on it and we hung it on a board in the hall so everyone could see. This is a great idea to do with your families, you could hang them up at the first of the month and see on Valentines Day who has the most notes in their envelope...<br />

I first started with making this Christmas tree, and then as I was doing that I thought gee a snowman would look cute<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTD31rbrM9qCruAgLtqRqy0pfpHBVNKq9iRUNPdWEnnTHn3MY8xm0CndmNLpMulCd8yl5VYIgt9UwAtZSV98AuB4E9DzVMX1b9h49UCUR8OoA5KRAjTwpxdfYUpeXaRSmRcVLr3yzQ-Q_3/s1600/DSCN1640%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTD31rbrM9qCruAgLtqRqy0pfpHBVNKq9iRUNPdWEnnTHn3MY8xm0CndmNLpMulCd8yl5VYIgt9UwAtZSV98AuB4E9DzVMX1b9h49UCUR8OoA5KRAjTwpxdfYUpeXaRSmRcVLr3yzQ-Q_3/s320/DSCN1640%255B1%255D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
And then when I was almost done with the snowman I thought wow a gingerbread man would work<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And now that it is done I am thinking I could make a cute penguin to go along with these winter friends.... What do you think????<br />
<br />
Oh my Spring and Summer will be here before we know it ( I hope ) ..... I am going to have to go to the lumber yard and get me some more 2x4's...<br />
<br />
Have a good weekend everyone and as always keep on crafting....<br />

I was so upset that I didn't even get any pictures, but the trees were hanging low and the beautiful green grass was white.... I have to say I really love the fall season and hope that we still get to have it before winter really sets in.... <br />
As most of you know I work at our local Hospital, I do the Recreational Therapy there for our long term residents. I have a bulletin board I do to celebrate each month<br />

I quilted this witch a few years ago and thought it would look cute on the board, I got a limb off the tree and added leaves and a few pumpkins<br />

So as I look out the window right now I see snow on our mountains, the grass is green again and the weather lady said it will be in the 70 by next week so yea I think I will get to smell fall, watch the fallen leaves, and enjoy the harvest season....... what a relief....<br />
Have a great weekend and as always keep on crafting.......<br />

<br />
We picked the tomatoes a few days ago and let them sit in the garage where it was real warm and by Saturday we had two big pan full of ripe tomatoes<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuSb7CdplLJ_EY49Rqk-JJ8sP1aSFN43vfYkkfhOZ72ap69vRZtuUW5eJ9vQTg5PrP7blEP4HxwuNgFW8NIr4HhpzEwK10Vq0184-Z6Zesf1_PvbsSyvem4pvgntcUNM35dm1WiMek6v_t/s1600/DSCN1555%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuSb7CdplLJ_EY49Rqk-JJ8sP1aSFN43vfYkkfhOZ72ap69vRZtuUW5eJ9vQTg5PrP7blEP4HxwuNgFW8NIr4HhpzEwK10Vq0184-Z6Zesf1_PvbsSyvem4pvgntcUNM35dm1WiMek6v_t/s320/DSCN1555%255B1%255D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<br />
First we made 12 quarts of stewed with a little crook neck and zucchini in them, we started doing this cause we has so many squash one year and didn't know what to do with it all and when we used the stewed tomatoes the following winter we really like the flavor.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDcTyVQbeSzOo8kHOxF9KX2zPgYZQRpDJUubHdEWw337FMGT2Udtf-RGeU3KwzcK-oa7z9xyTWRYmo7_E__MXg54kGRrAqS9OpCOZXQgEeXnXWz0Kd5yQwTZK7OelihLRS3kH4sM3ZEuwe/s1600/DSCN1560%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDcTyVQbeSzOo8kHOxF9KX2zPgYZQRpDJUubHdEWw337FMGT2Udtf-RGeU3KwzcK-oa7z9xyTWRYmo7_E__MXg54kGRrAqS9OpCOZXQgEeXnXWz0Kd5yQwTZK7OelihLRS3kH4sM3ZEuwe/s320/DSCN1560%255B1%255D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Then we did spaghetti sauce, it is the easiest recipe you will ever do and it tastes so good. The recipe goes like this:<br />
<br />
Slice of Onion<br />
2 Rings Green Pepper<br />
1 tsp. Salt ( this year I tried garlic salt instead of just salt, don't know yet if we like it or not)<br />
2 Tbsp. Lemon Juice<br />
1/8 tsp. Italian Seasoning<br />
1 Large Bay Leaf<br />
Tomatoes<br />
<br />
Put first 6 ingredients in the bottom of the bottles then pack in the tomatoes, seal and process for 55 min.<br />
If using pressure cooker, pressure at 13lbs for 10 min<br />
<br />

</div>When I open a bottle for sauce I take out the bay leaf, dump it in a blender and blend it up and add a can of tomato paste to thicken it and simmer it while the noodles cook and then serve..<br />
<br />
So we ended up with 12 bottles of Stewed and 7 bottles of Spaghetti Sauce<br />
Not to bad for a days work wouldn't you say...<br />

So I made friends with these cute little chipmunks, they love to eat chicken in a biscuit crackers, I would break some up and put them on a stump and they would come and eat them. Well these two came right up to the door as I was sitting in the chair to tell me that the crackers were gone and they needed more.... Russ was sitting out reading and one of them came right up and sat on his boot of course no picture... <br />

She is going to cater my mom's club once a month....<br />
Now my mom and her friends have been doing this club as long as I can remember, it started out for them one evening a month to leave kids home for husbands to watch and they would go to each others house, eat and play cards... Well it has got to the point that they now have it in the afternoons and have it catered. Some of the ladies have passed away or can no longer get out to go but they all say they will do it as long as they can....<br />
<br />
Well my sweet daughter has agreed to do this for my mom, "her grandma" and aunt Beth my moms sister... <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>So today I made her a apron to wear as she is serving these sweet ladies.....<br />

<br />
Last fall my sweet husband, son, son in law, and father in law redone my porch while I was in San Diego with my daughter and new granddaughter.<br />
The top of the porch was crumbling and Russ had to chip off the top no it wasn't that easy he had to get a jack hammer and work like crazy to get it off.... <br />
We have lived here for almost 6 years and always wanted a covered porch so we could sit out on it and not be in the sun.... Well I got my wish and they covered it....SWEET!!!!<br />

The tan chairs came from my parents which came from my grandpa and grandma's house, I can still see my grandpa sitting on his porch eating cheese puffs....oh I love that I have my good memories of my childhood<br />
<br />
The chairs have been painted black, red, and tan that I know of but I think there is many layers of paint on them... I still yet to know what color I want them......<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> So I primed it with a red spray paint which had primmer in it and I figured if I used that I wouldn't need as many coats of red paint... I know it is real bright red!!!! My sweet husband said "I think you made a big mistake"....lol....<br />

Many of us don't think much about being a donor... unless something happens to us or a loved one.... then the thinking.. the doing begins, doesn't it?<br />
<br />
In 1995 - I became severely anemic due to acute kidney failure... I was in the hospital and needed several blood transfusions... This was a time when not much was known about HIV or AIDS and many were fearful of blood that came from the blood banks... Word got out to family and friends that I needed blood... I was unaware that there were people standing in line - many people - I had never met - standing in line to give their blood... for me.... I received a phone call up to my room asking me if the hospital could use any of the excess blood given to me - there were others that needed blood as well.... Later I found that over thirty people cared enough about my life to try to save it.... I was deeply humbled by this and will never forget that there is so much kindness in this world... That there are people willing to go the extra mile to save a stranger... a stranger like me....<br />
<br />
The other day - I wrote a post asking for people to donate blood to help a young girl obtain a bone marrow transplant... Please read Haley's Story <a href="http://ivebecomemymother.blogspot.com/2011/05/help-save-child-urgent-request.html"><span style="color: #336699;">Here</span></a>...<br />
<br />
Today I was contacted by Erika Toto from <a href="http://www.dkmsamericas.org/"><span style="color: #336699;">DKMS Americas</span></a> - the worlds largest bone marrow donor center - She gave me a lot of information that can help Haley's family move in the right direction to obtain a donor.... The family will be meeting with <a href="http://www.marrow.org/"><span style="color: #336699;">Be The Match </span></a>this week - <a href="http://www.marrow.org/"><span style="color: #336699;">Be The Match</span></a> is the National Registry for Bone Marrow. <a href="http://www.dkmsamericas.org/"><span style="color: #336699;">DKMS </span></a>adds all of their donors to the<a href="http://www.marrow.org/"><span style="color: #336699;"> Be The Match</span></a> Registry and <a href="http://www.dkmsamericas.org/"><span style="color: #336699;">DKMS </span></a>does NOT require any of the donors or volunteers to cover the costs of registration.
