Primitive Raggedy Doll

This is one of the newest primitive raggedy style dolls that I've made in the last few weeks. She has stolen my heart and I'm working on her pattern.

Cedara the chicken

This is Cedara the chicken now! She is an Araucana breed from Brazil. That was she can withstand the heat that Virgina gets. She grew to be larger then all the other chicks in this batch and I laughed and said she was aptly named then! haha

Look at her feet! They are huge and GREEN! She also lays eggs with a blue shell. I told my aunt that she had to get one of Cedara's eggs and blow it out for me so I could have it.

Jake the dog is wondering why Cedara isn't afraid of him. haha He has been told to leave them alone and just whimpers when she comes right over to the fence. She sticks her beak out thru the fence and pecks his toes! Cedara is naughty...I love her!

INSOMNIA

I would not wish this on my worst enemy! I've heard folks say that they suffer with this from time to time. I actually used to think....well just sleep....how can you not be tired enough to sleep?

I was beyond tired and yet could NOT get any sleep. I'm not sure why it started. I am fairly used to staying up till midnight or 1am. Always able to fall right to sleep soon as my head touched my pillow.

Something snapped! Laying on my bed, tossing and turning. Fluffing pillows and shaking quilts.

Wearing jammies. Not wearing anything. Talking to myself about being able to get to sleep.

Reading in bed. Listening to soft music for an hour or so before heading to bed.

WIDE AWAKE!

Or I would fall asleep only to awaken like every 40 minutes all night long. UGH

When I can lay in bed and watch the sun RISE.....that is a huge problem! LOL

This went on for about 2 weeks and then as strangely as it came on.....its now left me.

I am back to a wonderful nights slumber........zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Make a Memory

"... you want to steal a piece of time..... you want to make a memory....... "

Just a small piece of a song that is playing on the radio right now and that caught my attention.
(Its a new song by Bon Jovi)

Maybe its because I've been reconnecting with old friends and talking about different memories. Things that happened to us but seen thru different eyes. Most things so simple in life and yet marked each of us in different ways forever.

Don't let life pass you by.
Grab onto it!
MAKE A MEMORY!

Make memories that years down the road will be thought of by someone and make that person SMILE.

Prim Blessings!

Lost Art of a Hand Written Note

There is something almost "magical" about opening your mailbox and finding a note inside that has been written by hand. In this day and age of emails and contact by computers, I believe too many folks are missing something.

The creativity that can explode onto a blank piece of paper. Colored inks. Different pens. Ink drawings and sketches thru a note. Little pieces of yourself that you are sharing with someone important enough in your life that you sat down and picked up a pen.

I've always loved to write to my friends. Sure sending off a quick email is fine for the most part. But I like to sit down with my array of different papers. All colors and textures. A rainbow of pens and different inks. I even have a wax melter to seal the envelope.....just because I loved the look of it!

Who have you written to in the last while? Who did you make smile when they opened their mailbox and found your special envelope inside? If you can't think of anyone..... then don't you think it might be about time that you sat down at your desk and sent one to someone special?

From a reader.....

"wow Cedara that was awesome, a breath of fresh air. I stepped out of my world into yours for a while and it was pretty cool....... Looking at the world through someone elses eyes sure gives you a lot to think about. I see my world different just reading about yours. isn't that funny. Blogs are pretty awesome. ".... GINA

I LOVE when my readers send me their comments and reactions to what they have read here. It makes it a bit easier to sit down and write knowing that folks are reading it. Comments fuel my fire.

Homespun from the Heart

http://www.homespunfromtheheart.com

My friend Cindy owns and runs this fantastic website. I was blessed to finally get to meet her in person while at the Primmart Convention last month. We hit it off right away and had so much fun.

There was a pattern swap done and I happened to scoop this sweet kitty pattern of hers. She does AMAZING patterns and I am having so much fun with this kitty.

I already have 8 of them drawn and sewn. Just need to spend tonight doing some stuffing. Supposed to be a good hot sunny day tomorrow so staining them and having the sun work her magic on them while drying....ohhhh I can't wait!

Make sure to stop by Cindy's website!
