BUT I was able to squeeze in a fur hat, and a new bag pattern with more techniques.
It was filled with pain, and mass amounts of anger just from ONE phone call from my mother… Its amazing how one phone call can bring you back to a bad place… Brings back awful memories where you just want to punch a hole in the wall… Scream at the top of your lungs until you cant breathe… Its ridiculous… I will have to elaborate on this at a later date.
For now, here are my awesome projects!
AND I am in the process of making a fish skin bag! Heres a sneak preview!

We have only one life to live and we must take chances and live on the edge. Because in the end what do we have to show for ourselves?
Our diplomas?
Our certificates?
What…
What do you have to show for? What are you proud of?
I know for myself I am proud that I have the ability to create things for myself, family and friends.
I appreciate homemade items.
I enjoy the simple things in life. Like when AC has a special type of creamer. Or a balmy 32 degree evening walk with my pooch. Enjoying a nice conversation with my step-son.
I am realizing that I need to slow down. Relax. Breathe. Take care of myself so that I can care for others. With my awful need to constantly clean I am able to pull back a tad and not worry about a dirty dish on the counter, or dirty socks under the coffee table. These are small things that shouldnt equal a big reaction.
Take time out each day and dedicate it to yourself. Take deep long breaths. Do what you love even if others dont approve because its your life. And be awesome!
Christmas came and went. Presents in and out. Smiles and tears. Mostly tears.
December 23rd I lost another awesome uncle. My uncle Hank was a great man. A twinkle in his eye. A great big smile that never failed to put a smile on your face.
Although I am saddened his presence is missing. I am grateful for the time that I spent with him. I smile looking back on the time spent with Uncle Hank a few months ago. Although I saw him only at funerals, anniversaries, and weddings each moment I treasure.
Thank you Uncle Hank for making me laugh. Thanks for being awesome. Silly. Loving. And caring.
You will be missed greatly.
Me, auntie Diane, Uncle Hank. Rest in peace Uncle
This has been a tough year for my families. I have lost another family member which leaves a wide open space of nothing. I look back and I smile for all the happy memories with my cousin, brother, friend Nick. Nick was one of a kind. He was quiet, Â caring, and loving. He had a heart of gold. He went above and beyond for family, friends, and strangers. I am going to miss his laughter. One of my favorite memories was when Nick snuck me, Tina, and Alan out of our fishcamp to go fishing at 2 am. We went to one of the abandoned barges, and jammed out to KYUK 640 am and fished till the wee hours of the morning. So carefree and awesome Nick was. I am going to miss you Nick.Â
Fishcamp days. Nick, me and my brother. Miss you always Nick.
Life is too short. Never miss a moment to tell loved ones you love them. Life is unpredicable. Live every moment to its full potential.
Discovering I can make new things, in a short amount of time is awesome! So what do I do?
I make LOTS of them! And then some!

I made this for a friend but was soo tempted to keep it! We bartered and she gets this bag and I get a cute hippy slouchy hat! Pictures to come when it is in good hands. My hands!
As I sti here and reflect on what to be thankful for…
The phone rang.
and of course it was her.
Do I answer?
Yes. I answer and then
I hung up.
Why is it that she can just up and call me just because its THANKSGIVING.
A day that we are suppose to be thankful for everything and everyone.
But seeing her name on the caller ID made my blood boil, and I felt the tears building up…
She cant do that. She cant think that just because its a holiday she can call me say thanksgiving, tell me how much she loves me, and then act as if nothing happened. Its wrong.
What goes thru her head? I just dont get it.
And then I instantly regretted hanging up. I wanted to tell her how awful she was. How she ruined my childhood. How she cant keep doing this to me. Bringing me back to this dark, awful, cold place. A place of hate of anger. I wanted to tell her all the awful things that shes said to me. Only…
I know what would happen. She would get upset. She wouldnt listen. She would get angry with me. And then she would drink. And it would be all my fault. She would blame me the next time she saw me with those piercing evil eyes.
So its better I dont answer. Its better I dont tell her anything. Its better that I just dont bother.
I am thankful for my amazing husband who keeps me grounded. And my amazing father who has been my rock and my best friend in my early on years… And he still is 🙂
Did I mention I love to sew? I am thankful that I am learning to sew and want to sew.
I am also thankful I didnt leave the giblets, or the neck in the turkey this year.
I am thankful for the internet and the ability read instructions.
I am thankful I am able to move forward, and leave the past and the negativity in the past.
I am thankful for sewing, and my patience to sit for LONG periods of time.
I am thankful that my dog likes beer.
Mac has problems 🙂
I forgot to mention I am thankful that I lived to be 27 years young. Heres to another 73 I hope…
