I've had the time to create even though I spent time with a friend yesterday. We hadn't seen each other for about a month. She is a 4-year cancer survivor, had stage 4 breast cancer, had reconstruction surgery, more tumors in her brain, had radiation, whole-brain radiation, a multitude of drugs and is still kicking. Her energy is low but she is still able to do housework, shop, eat (sometimes it doesn't taste good or the texture is wierd--she says) and visit with me and her other friends but she is not able to drive and this is where we, her friends, come in. Her husband is very supportive and I commend him on that. So many spouses give up because of the constant turmoil but he's hung in there.
The supper Thurs night turned out well. Bill smoked meat and made ice cream. I pulled out some leftover salads and watermelon from Wed night and made corn and baked beans. Someone brought a pie and I had some oreos and a few leftover cookies. They seemed to enjoy the food and we had a good time visiting. I'm so NOT a hospitality lady but every once in a while I can turn to.
Two necklaces sold at Relics and she liked the flowers I'd made from her prototypes. I love figuring out how to make something and have it actually turn out. She asked me to make more in fall colors so I cut some out yesterday afternoon and will sew them up today. She had sold two of the four necklaces I took last Friday and has only four headbands left. I'm pleased that the things are selling.
It's nip and tuck at SC though. I don't know about a future there yet. "To be continued" on that one.
I'm back to making scripture books, little notebooks for the purse or pocket. Most of my previous mixed media works were inspired by scripture and I've been thinking I need to get back to that. God's word does not return void (Isaiah 55:11). I stand on that premise.
