Happy Wednesday to all....

Things are back to normal once again in my household.  My sweet kitty Goldie had a good checkup with the vet yesterday morning & when the vet called yesterday afternoon, to report how Goldie's bloodwork came out, she said that all the readings were back where they should be.  So we can let out the collective breath we've been holding for a week.  :-)

Thank you sooooo much, once again, for all your prayers, good vibes, and healing wishes.  It means so much to be able to rely on others for those things, when we ourselves are having a hard time praying.  You all mean so much to me!

Remember that little black kitty we rescued, who was 24-48 hours away from death due to dehydration, starvation, and worms?  The one my rescue friend named 'Andrea'?  Well, my friend sent me a picture of little Andrea yesterday & I want to share it with you.  In these hard times in our country & world, we all need a little cheer and I'm hoping this picture cheers you all as much as it did me.  She looks *nothing* like she did a mere 10 days ago.  What a difference good care makes!




I finished a diamond painting project this morning and now hubby will build a simple frame for me, which I'm thinking I will paint powder blue.  It's a "partial" diamond painting which means not every inch of the project is covered in diamonds (called "drills" in the diamond art world)... as opposed to a "full" diamond painting where every inch of the canvas is covered by a drill.  Partials are really quick to do & are good starter projects for those who have never diamond painted before.  I'm thinking this will be so cute to hang up around Christmas time.




I had kind of fallen away from crafting for a couple weeks so I found this kit in my stash yesterday morning, in  hopes that it would "wet my whistle", as my Mom used to say, to get back into the groove of things.  It did.  Now I've got a rug hooking project on my table.  :-)

I hope all of you have a wonderful day.

Much love, Andrea xoxoxo

  3. Well. Andrea the cat looks very fine, a lucky black cat indeed. (In England black cats are considered lucky, especially if one walks across in front of you.)

  5. HURRAH, I am so happy about Goldie! And Andrea is looking beautiful! I have wanted to do diamond painting so much, but it seems so tedious and neverending. But I did not know about this kind! The one you made is gorgeous!! What name do I ask for on Amazon to find this particular kind?

  7. So much to be thankful for in this post! I'm so glad that Goldie is doing so well and that Andrea is also doing good which makes the human Andrea happy, too! She is a beautiful cat! I love your diamond art picture. I haven't tried it and not sure I'm going to. It might be just one more thing added to my "yet to be finished craft bag"!
