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.

.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,

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.
Nancy, the bunting is stunning! Love those roses and lace! Just remember to take care of yourself while helping out your hubby and brother. You sure do have your hands full and I am thinking about you and your family and sending healing prayers! Hugs!

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 my prayers and positive thoughts are always with you and your loved ones. Thoughts of you…..Marilyn xxoo
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
Sending prayers your way, Nancy. It’s always something, isn’t it? Pray everything turns out well.
Hi Nancy, I hope your husband’s surgery went well. I am uplifting you and your family in my prayers. Your bunting is gorgeous!! I have been trying to carve out some crafty time too. xxoo ~ Heidi
Sending hugs and prayers your way Nancy. Your bunting is absolutely beautiful. What a great way to have a garden of flowers all year long!
Hugs,

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
Sending your family loads of healing prayers Nancy.
