    Well, I finally solved a problem I was having with my Etsy shop and it's really up and running. Now I have to get to work to flesh out my inventory.

    There is a fun non-profit shop in my hometown that takes donations of all kinds of leftover crafts materials and sells them for very minimal prices. They also do kids classes, etc. Fun place to go prowl around. I just couldn't leave these tiny beaurifully hand-basted hexies orphaned. Have no idea what to do with them. Also picked up a huge package of templates from a mail order quilting club in the 90s, a quilting spoon and two rolls of really nice wrapping paper that were only 75 cents a piece.

    calikelly, they are beautuful, although i like then unpainted as well.

    I havent done anything lately, but I did finally pivk up my crochet again. Im trying to finish a baby afghan.

    Bad luck, A Nasty Soul, otherwise known anastrozole, can be horrible. But there are other Estrogen blockers you could try that have less side affects for you. I loved your drawing, I am so not talented in that direction. LOL

    Much love to all on this thread.

    Reposting a poem I wrote for this time of year:


    Eostre Poem

    โ™ก

    The Mother cloaks herself in green

    This early springtime morn;

    And everywhere new life is seen

    A world again reborn.

    โ™ก

    The cycle of the seasons clicks

    Just one more turn ahead;

    We suffer time's relentless ticks,

    Lost dreams, and words, unsaid.

    โ™ก

    The swollen streams have had their fill,

    They hold it with no lack.

    And though the days are colder still,

    There is no turning back.

    โ™ก

    We seem to always want to hold

    Onto the old ways too;

    But if your choice is always bold,

    The future is for you.

    โ™ก

    And so the Mother's cloaked in green

    This early springtime morn;

    And everywhere new life is seen,

    As we, once more, are born.

    Thanks so much for responding CaliKelly and I will definitely check out your art! Creative energy is such a gift! Let it flow! Here is my contribution. I wrote this song 4 days after my surgery for bc on Valentine's day of this year and recorded it at home. I've been writing songs since I was just a kid and I come from parents that have the gift of music. I am sensitive to those who listen and are in a place and or dealing with a diagnosis that is different from my own experience and emotions at this time. Still I hope that the message "no matter the news" "you're never alone" is what is heard.

    "The Best Is Yet To Come"

    morning dove, I just played your song and I just want to cry, but not sad or sorry tears, but proud, happy, really just tears of sisterhood I guess!, The lyrics and your voice combined to so perfectly present the message! I LOVE IT! It is very special and I hope and wish you can record it and distribute it somehow to b.c. warriors around the world! Go on Instagram @breast cancerartproject ,they would love to post it!, I love the country music sound, anyway I guess I just want more people to hear it, my kind of positive message!Thank you!

    Hello my fellow creative sisters.

    CaliKelly, you are a fantastic creator of art! I love your recent works! Keep up the great art! Looking forward to seeing much more.

    Morningdove, your song was so touching & absolutely so beautiful. CaliKelly took the words right out of my mouth in response to your song! You need to get that recording out there! It made me cry all the way through, as CaliKelly explained ... tears of sisterhood.

    I've been away from this site for awhile with progressive health issues going on with me lately ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

    Been going back & forth to doctors with no answers so they ordered more labs, x-rays, ultrasound & MRI scheduled for next Friday. Hopefully there will be some answers. Please pray for me.

    But did manage to complete another portrait. This one is my grandson who like my niece I recently drew, also loves to play on the shore of Lake Superior.

    Oh, Badluck, I will pray that your name will soon need to be changed to Goodluck! So sorry to hear you are still having more health issues. That sucks! But, wow your drawing is such perfection! Like a photograph! So realistic! Beautiful job!

    BadLuck, I'm sorry that you're struggling with health issues and I pray that your test results are as good as possible and you get good medical care. May God bring you comfort and peace. That is an excellent drawing!

    Here is a photo of the top that I painted hot pink and royal blue on and sewed pink lace around the neck because it's hard to find tops with hot pink on.
