Sugar Lump Studios

Sugar Lump Studios - A Sweet Smattering of Mixed Media Art

{Ye Shabby Roses Bunting}

June 22, 2012

I have been a bad blogger the past several weeks and must apologize for that. My plate is more than full right now and many changes will be occurring to lessen my load. Many of you don’t know that I work from home doing the Etsy shop and maintaining a local School Districts web sites. There is a purpose for why I am home now, and that has clicked since we found so many things wrong with my brother the last few weeks. He is mentally challenged, so many things he cannot do for himself, but in 2 weeks he lost 4 pounds on his new “diabetic diet” and he has tried to get more active physically. Hubby and I are having to watch what he eats still while he gets used it.

I appreciate your prayers and support the past few weeks and ask that you can continue to send that positive thinking our way. Hubby has his knee operated on June 25, and my brother has more medical tests on a separate issue in a few weeks. We pray that it is a good outcome, but are preparing ourselves for what may lay ahead.

I feel like there isn’t enough time to create with all that has been going on in our household – but managed to create this bunting yesterday. If I am MIA, just know that we seem to be living at the doctor, hospital etc. lately.

The Giveaway

Thank you to everyone that posted a comment. Sorry for the delay in drawing names.
The winner of this piece is Joye Outlar. Congratulations Joye! I hope you enjoy it.

I selected two more names for a wee little something: Dorthe and Sonya. I will be sending something your way also! :)

    .This bunting is gorgeous! I love all the lace and the roses. I hope your hubby’s surgery goes well. Life is full of too much to do. I too wish it would slow down so I can craft more.
    Best wishes,
    Kate

    The bunting is charming..love the flowers and lace. Good luck to your husband..two knee replacements and I’m still kicking!!! (Maybe not kicking as high as I’d like, there are hip joint replacements in my future, luckily not the near future!!) Best wishes for your brothers’ health issues too.
    Living that “medical” life gets old pretty quickly… I hope you get to enjoy SOME of your summer.

    Hi Nancy

    I was so sorry to read about the health problems with your husband and brother. Let us hope your husband’s surgery will do fine and your brother’s problems not as bad as you
    think.

    Please take care of your self while you are trying to take care of both of them. You need your strength to do that. I know from experience what I write.

    I really liked your fourth of July decoration and my mind is thinking what do I have in the cupboard I can empty into a glass jar. Must be something in there. It is very generous of you to share this tutorial with us.

    Hugs

    Your bunting is beautiful and has inspired me to use some fabric pieces I have lying around. You are such an inspiration to me. I have completed 2 little books that were inspired by your little 3×5 book of scraps you used. It was so fun making them. Sending you a hug and a prayer. Susan

    Take care of yourself and your family, Nancy. That is priority #1 and if you get too stressed, you’ll need taking care of (I can come over anytime).
    Sending good thoughts and all my best hugs to you. Hopefully things will loosen up soon.
    Warm loving hugs,
    Jan
