Moms Angel.....

On our news tonight, there was a story about a picture taken in a hospital that looks like a "light angel". Their "angel" looks a lot like my moms "light angel". Hmmm......

My Aunt was here visiting from Germany. She took this picture of my mom sleeping, just weeks after my dad died and my brother had killed himself. Mom has had three strokes and has minimal use of her left arm and neck- her mind and speech are ok......but, she hasn't been out of bed in several years.

The picture was taken early in the morning and the sun was on the opposite side of the building. The light reflects ON everything around it: moms face, the INSIDE of the curtains, on the bed rail, etc. ---as if it really is a "being". Of course, I have played CSI detective with the photo.......Love and Believe, the two most difficult things in life!? Hmmm.......

Kings of Leon eating Silkies?!?! OMG......

Normal Sunday evening, listening to music...watching videos and sewing...then, OMG!! Kings of Leon video for 'Sex on Fire'....they're eating little Silkie drum sticks!! For those of you who know me, I have PET chickens. Among them are the beautiful Bantam Silkies....adorable little feather footed cuties. They have "fur" instead of feathers with mulberry combs and turquoise ear lobes.

At first, I thought "how neat" they have Silkies in their video! Then I saw them hanging upside down....then, OMG...."Is that a tiny drum stick he's eating???" OMG!! Really, check it out!

Sunrise in Caswell County

The pink light from the sunrise this morning was stuningly beautiful! A humbling reminder of Gods awesome love!

Christmas bear presents

My last bear Christmas presents turned out really cute! Bear on the left is made from premium synthetic Norweigan fox with a arctic fox fur chest. The bear on the right is made from premium synthetic Golden fox. I love the quality of the Tissavel Fur. No wonder they charge sooooo much for it!

The newest pattern (left) has wired arms for cute poses and I finally acheived the "fat cub" body!!! Designs in the past just looked liked they ate a basketball...LOL!

As usual, the bears refused to go into their stockings...but, I squished them in. Now I just have to get them to their new moms and dads. Wish me luck!

Thank you, Santa Claus....

I really don't care how many shopping days are left until Christmas! But, I am concerned about budget cuts at the nursing home. Santa Claus has come to visit my mom every year since 2005.

I can tolerate the "burrito-looking-things" they served for Christmas dinner....but, if Santa doesn't come?!?! He makes her so happy, even if it's just for a few minutes! So, if you see a Santa out and about this year...be sure to stop and tell him thank you. It really does make a difference!

Bear of the week...

Spent the weekend doing farm chores, sewing and watching football.....couldn't ask for better!?! Hoping for a good photo session with this bear tomorrow! She/he turned out really cute! Still needs a few finishing details.....more to come.....

Tater turning gray....

My Great Dane, Tater, turned six this summer. He looks so "old". I know the giant dog breeds age rapidly and he will pass way too soon. Hopefully, we'll have several more good years!

My twenty-one year old kitty, Lumpy, died on November 7th. He's the black "after-shower-kitty-warmer" in the picture taken last year.

I found him in a dumpster when I was sixteen. I could hear him crying. Had to climb in to find him, yuck! He had just been born....still wet. Lucky for him (and me) it was my second year working at a veterinary hospital. He prompted my interest and career in neo-natal feline medicine....

Turned out he had seizures, and appeared "dead" in the postdictal state. Probably why someone threw him away?? He was tiny....for many months. Had to tube feed him for a week before he would nurse on his own. He never gave up and had such a strong will to survive. He has been my constant companion, pillow and friend for a long time! Miss him a lot.......

Does he look like me?

Oh my.....it's happening to me!

So many artists look like their bears. I love to browse teddy bear show pictures of artists with their creations, because more often then not; they look like their bears. How cute!

LOL....my newest design (prototype) could be related to me! He is made from high quality, golden fox synthetic fur. About 14" tall standing. The pictures don't do him justice. And, yes...he looks like me!

Hugs,
