I am so sorry for your family's loss, your Highness. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Perhaps being Queen this month will help lift your spirits in the difficult days ahead.
That was an awesome box from Julie and well timed, too.. Her scarves are so pretty. I get compliments on mine every time I wear it and I am sure you will too.
2015 NEW YEARS QUEEN "GOLDHILLAL"
I love making those scarves... so easy! I have made many and given them as gifts.
If any of you future queens would like a scarf, just let me know! :)
Crystal, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your Nephew. May he rest in peace. Sending big hugs.
Patti
Thank you all for your kind thoughts
Thinking of you today, Queenie, and praying for lots of love and hugs! :)
Got home near supper after a pretty taxing day, and there was another spirit lifting package waiting. It was from Patti. How nice!
There was a beautiful and beautiful sounding wind chime. It has a wonderful clear musical tone. I love it!
A big box of Organic Malasa Chai Black tea. Yum. I have tea between supper and bedtime to try to keep myself from nibbling.
A lovely box of chocolates with flavors of dark chocolate and praline. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
A Lowe's gift card-- I can hardly wait to start perusing their plants. I bet they have some cyclamen pretty soon if not already.
Thank you, Patti, so very much. What great carefully chosen gifts! You made the Queen's day bright.

Woweee! Another gift! Betty your tote bag came today, and what a tote bag it is! Beautiful colors, just right for a flower lover and enough pockets to pack and move away (which I am not as my gifts might not follow me) . Those pockets are so nice and deep. I know I will really enjoy using this. Thanks Betty. And having it handmade,too.
Glad it finally arrived
Couldn't send flowers/plants so sent the next best thing
What wonderful gifts your Majesty! Truly fit for a Queen. I hope you are enjoying your day.
I love Betty's tote! It is full now since I am on my way to visit my son's family in TN. Crystal, yours is beautiful. Love the flowers!
Susie, you are one busy bee! Since I started all the new medications, my motivation is almost zilch! I tried starting a crocheted blanket for the one of the twins, but only got one row finished. Plus the tension at home really messed up my concentration. Hopefully, my trip will do me good! :)
Queen Crystal,
I glad I could brighten your day. I see you received one of Betty's beautiful totes too. I just love mine. She does beautiful work. I use mine everyday for work. This is my first week at my new job, and it going great. I feel like I can breathe again.
Sending prayers to you and your family Crystal. Big hugs and lots of love.
Patti
Crystal, that tote is so pretty!

Hello, my Queen! Glad you could get out and walk about today. Frosty in Birmingham this morning, too! Warmed up into the 50's by the time I arrived at Colt's house. My babies are sick- Caden getting over a respiratory infection but now Liam is running a fever. We watched the Ninja Turtle movie with Liam, gossiped with Colt and Angele for a while, but back at the hotel for the night.
Susie, blanket is beautiful. I'm already starting things for next Christmas, too! Pottery, crochet, painting, maybe try some other things! Please take care of yourself! ♥
Betty, your totes are wonderful and can be used for so many things! Thank you, again, for mine. Glad you got to see sunshine today!
Settling down for the night!
Susie your afghan is beautiful. A lot of work too.
Enjoy your visit with the family Julie. I hope the kids are feeling better soon!

well as you all know I Cannot sit with Idol Hands so while
sitting up in bed I Made this I think i told you about the Huge Garbage Bag filled with artificial Flower , well with the shamrock colors ones here is what I did .
Then I went out & made my Yummie smoothie with v8's green veggie Juice ,a 1/2 c of Mix frozen fruits, 2 Tbs of Yogurt .
so i get fruit & Green veggies .:(
I have had this in my mind for over a week & when I went to town the other day I saw they had nice neck scarfs & I Bought one for st patties but them when i was doing this wreath thought it might make a nice bow & wa la took me about
2 1/2 hrs . I have a few things I Might change on it but going to wait . need to lay down flat for a bit hurts to cough.
ya all have a fun day ,
Susie, that is so pretty!
Gm & TY Lk chest is letting up some so I Hope to be much better by tomorrow I'm going to just lay up for the weekend yet , zoey is here asking if i will make her some Cream of wheat
so I have to call her mom to ask if its ok .
think i started something but it is better for her then all those pancakes or toaster waffles, so if i can teach her to make this I think she will eat better :)
so wishing you all a great weekend :) try to drop by later
Cream of wheat is always good! I like to add raisins or craisins to it, sometimes, for a change.
Good morning Queen Crystal, I hope all is well in the kingdom today!
Susie , I just love your wreath Get well soon .
Something happened and chrome closed. I guess I did it but??? I had a reply nearly ready to post. so here goes again.
I did not realize I had not posted in so many days. The past week has been a blur and I don't know where the time has gone. I know I have been busy, but do not have a lot to show.
Betty, it is wonderful to be able to make totes because everybody like/wants/needs them. you've hit on a great idea, and hopefully you enjoy doing it also.
Susie, hope you are feeling better soon. Those chest colds can wring every bit of energy out of a person. The wreath is very pretty.
Sun today. Wonderful sun. expecting Elfie by sometime today, but in the meantime, I want to get out and enjoy this great weather. I have some Japanese maples that need planting and I bought a couple pomegranate bushes ($5-great price) that need to be planted also. I had one in my main flower bed and it had fruit for a couple years, then began to die back until it was gone. So, I bought one and planted it another place and the frost got it. So here we go again... Wish me luck. My grandmother used to have one planted in the chimney corner and it lived for years (at least in my memory).
Carry on, Loyal Subjects.
Your Royal subject does indeed enjoy making them, have made so many that it takes but 3 hrs.
takes longer to think about it vs actually doing it.
know about the cold/flu, been down with it since before christmas..just finally breaking I think and here I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon. Going to ask for meds anyway only because you no longer think you are over it and it's back again!
You ladies are so very talented. Wish I could say the same for myself. Kathy
