It's Friday!

Good Evening Internet Friends!  I cannot believe it is finally Friday.

I have not had a lot of crafting time this week, however, I did make these:

I was the Charge RN last weekend of a very busy department. The snow had just started to melt outside so every second patient coming in had some sort of broken bone!

I was so proud of how the staff cooperated and worked together.  With two more nights to go I made these on Saturday morning when I got home and wrote a personal message to each inside thanking them for the great job they do. 

The effect was a very happy group of people that kept up the momentum for another two long grueling nights.   

Now, since it is Friday it is the official start of the Tree Bird Blog Hop hosted by Lana over at Sew We Quilt

Check out the participants projects for today at:

Quilt in a not - Shell

Suebee's World

I am currently still working on mine (no surprise there....), but will have it ready (fingers crossed for March 18th - my day).  ☺

On a fun note; this evening after dinner we all piled into the Go Go Go Toyota and headed off to the Lindt Midnight Madness sale.  The Easter Bunny did some shopping while we were there and of course I HAD to bring home this:

No, sadly it is not a Lindt truffle as big as a placemat, but it is filled with 44 of them! ☺

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Ready?.....Set?.......

Good Evening Internet Friends! This evening my mom and sister stopped by for an unexpected visit which was the perfect time to gift my sister a scarf that I had knit with intent of giving to her: It's a moss seed stitch scarf using Thick & Quick Celebration Metallics yarn.   This yarn was great to work with,  worked up quickly, and the metallic thread in it gives a really nice shimmer in proper lighting.  ☺ Tomorrow is the start of the Tree bird Blog Hop hosted by Lana of  It Seams to be Sew and Sew We Quilt. The theme of the Blog Hop is based on Tracy Lizotte's Beautiful Birds fabric collection of which I was even fortunate enough to find some last week at Lori's Country Cottage.  Wow!   Did I ever have to get sewing to have something to showcase on my blog for next week! Here's the list of fellow bloggers who are participating in this event.  Please check out all their fabulous creations over the next week starting tomorrow with: Friday, March 13 It Seams To Be Sew Life in the Scrapatch Amy Stitches Lakeshore Stitches Needled Mom Quilt in a not - Shell Suebee's World

For some reason participating in this blog hop had me thinking about spring, and amazingly spring seemed to arrive this week!  Most of the snow along the fence has melted, there are puddles to jump in (my son and I do this every evening when we get home and don't have to worry about having muddy clothes for the day), and today the temperature reached 14 Celsius (57 Fahrenheit)!  It felt like spring, plus my allergies are acting up.... Hope this inspires your own creativity... Kathy

Thank You Cards

Today my family and I walked in our annual JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes.

The weather was awful, it drizzled on us most of the time, but here is our progress:

 Somewhere after 4 kilometers we started to slow down and literally smell the roses ; )

 

Yay, we made it for another year!  Maybe next year there will be a cure and we won't have to walk!!!!

 

The weather looked even worse on our drive home:

Now, of course there must be a craft associated with today.

To say Thank You to all of my friends who not only support me financially every year on this journey, but also everyday support me with the "fun" of living for decades with Juvenile Diabetes I made Thank You cards.

These cards are made with the For The Birds stamp set from Stampin' Up that I won as the door prize at Karina's on Friday!  They came in perfect this afternoon!

Thank you to all of you who support me with your encouragement, and friendship, you make living with Juvenile Diabetes a lot easier : ), you will never know how much this means to me!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
