To help release stress I make greeting cards.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">"Row by Row On The Go! is 2017’s theme and we'll be participating
here at <a href="https://www.hyderhangout.com/" target="_blank">Hyderhangout: Quilt Fabric & More</a>. We’re super excited about Row by
Row Experience’s brand new program, Row by Row Junior, too! It’s designed for kids ages 6 to 14. They travel along with an adult. They collect free row patterns designed just
for them to make and they <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>can learn to sew at home with
family help and support from <a href="http://www.rowbyrowexperience.com/">www.rowbyrowexperience.com</a>.</span></span></h4>
<br />
<h4>
</h4>
<br />
<h4 class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">Row by Row Junior follows the same rules and time schedule
as adult Row by Row Experience, June 21 through Labor Day. Kids need to be in the shop to get the free
pattern handout, but anyone can buy a kit.
Grandmothers and traveling family can bring them home as gifts or
souvenirs.</span></span></h4>
<br />
<br />
<h4 class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">Row by Row Junior designed the five different row patterns
so you can be sure they are kid-friendly.
Make it an adventure traveling to collect all five and seeing how
different shops make up their row. Our
row is [your row choice and why].</span></span></h4>
<br />
<br />
<h4 class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">We’ll be awarding “I Made This!” ribbons to the first five
kids who return with something made using a Row by Row Junior pattern. Any sewing effort will be celebrated, not
just quilting. Find Row by Row Junior’s
free online activities, kids’ journal pages, support for learning to sew at
home, and more at <a href="http://www.rowbyrowexperience.com/">www.rowbyrowexperience.com</a>
this summer. </span></span></h4>
<br />
<h4 class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">“We want our kids to learn how to sew and carry on this
craft that’s so dear to us,” explains Janet Lutz, Row by Row’s founder.
“Traveling to new places, collecting something just for them, visiting
Grandma, summer vacation...this is all part of the wonder and excitement of Row
by Row Experience. Please join us.”</span></span></h4>

'It will be fun', she said. 'It is easy', she said. well, I watched video after video and ended up painting myself, the gelli plate, the vinyl cutting board I use as my undermat, and many pieces of paper. My husband shakes his head, and only asked, 'Why'? to which I can only reply that I enjoy trying new crafts, and this may be the one that makes me a millionaire crafter! <br />
<br />
I made a very simple video today, one that covers the first 15 minutes with the product (although it took me 10 days to get to this point), you can barely hear me because I don't like the sound of my own voice so I speak sparingly and quietly, sorry. <br />
<br />
All the videos I watched were from people way past my experience level. I have one 88 cent stencil from walmart and 10 bottles of acrylic paint. So, if you want to try this art, the 'gelli arts' go ahead and give it a try. If you don't like it there are a hundred folks who will take the products off your hands. I can say the process is relaxing and when I'm finished with a cutting project or embroidery project, playing with paint is fun and easily cleaned up.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/F0RXv7F55F8/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/F0RXv7F55F8?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
Jump in with both feet (not really, I mean please no feet on the gelli plate) let your creative side take over. Doubts? look up the color wheel for ideas; because some colors mixed just make mud and that will stifle your creativity. Be brave, most of all Be Happy.AudreyRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01258248248551473193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375283094699096133.post-77184849283166795852017-03-14T10:32:00.001-04:002017-03-14T10:32:28.354-04:00Susan Hyder from Hyderhangout has batting practice in the studio<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0zzZcYBwtHE" width="480"></iframe>AudreyRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01258248248551473193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375283094699096133.post-42506192273771250652017-02-26T18:26:00.000-05:002017-02-26T18:26:08.930-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just wanted to share my latest card. It is my mom's Mother's Day card for this year. I purchased from Dreaming Tree. The instructions are broken down and (paper) color coded. There was also a YouTube tutorial, pictures, AND material list. Nothing personal Silhouette designers, but you could learn from Leo. This was the fastest and prettiest card I have completed in a while (and I wasn't stressed and ready to throw my Cameo away) at the end.AudreyRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01258248248551473193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375283094699096133.post-39370501066754246492017-02-18T14:11:00.003-05:002017-02-18T14:11:46.043-05:00Just a few pics<span style="font-size: large;">I have made a few new things lately and just wanted to post pictures in case anybody was watching. I do love the way my sis's canvas turned out and I am sad that the cards I made for Valentines day did not sale on Etsy, https://www.etsy.com/shop/SisTaughtMe , in case you were wondering. I haven't listed the crown for sell yet, but they will be on there pretty soon. I did the vinyl lettering for Sadie's karate dojo and was pretty pleased with the way that turned out.</span><br />

My Aunt Ruby turns 92 on the 31st of January. She is my mother-in-law's younger sister. I wanted to make something unique and beautiful for her as she so deserves it as her sister, my mother-in-law, passed away last week at the age 94. I found this card design on Bird's Cards website. http://www.birdscards.com/rolled-flower-2/ I never tried a rolled flower before so this is my very first and I hope to get better as I try again. Don't ever be afraid to try new things and pass them along. <br />
<br />
Peace out💗AudreyRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01258248248551473193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375283094699096133.post-7273804855701853952015-08-11T12:14:00.001-04:002015-08-11T12:14:46.112-04:00Right Place, Right TimeI happened to be at my local pharmacy yesterday, a bit pressed for time to get to Chattanooga for daughter's doctor appointment. I left something in my truck so I had to run outside to retrieve. While out there I noticed someone in the car next to me taking my picture. Now I know I am great looking (kidding) and am on defense most of the time because of the respirator. Well this time, I turned to face my foe, ready with an explanation. To my surprise it was a beautiful young woman. Before I could say anything she asked why the mask, as many often do so I explained. She then told me why she asked 'why'. She has been diagnosed with cervical cancer. This beautiful, full of life newlywed is now faced with chemo, radiation, and surgery. It seemed The interesting part is that I went through the same thing 20 years ago. Young, newlywed facing cervical cancer and <span>endometriosis</span>. Luckily, all cancer was removed with surgery but I lost the ability to have a baby with my new husband. It was a sad, dark time. It took time, a long time, but my life mended and we moved on. I think I was there yesterday because this beautiful lady needed a verbal hug and to let her know her life would not end here. As a matter of fact it can start by being a poster child for the cancer and to be there to encourage others when you are able. It also teaches you to allow others to help you through this troubling time. By allowing other to help you - you have helped them feel valuable again.<br />
<br />
The moral of this story is one you see in memes everyday. Everyone is fighting some kind of battle whether you see it or not. Count your blessings, one by one. Write one blessing down everyday. EVERYDAY!<br />
<br />
Slow down and smell the roses. You never know when you will be in the right place at the right time, for somebody.

I made a couple of pit stops. One at Hyderhangout's NEW location in McCaysVille GA. Hyderhangout Quilt Depot since it's hours correspond with the running of the local train. It is so so cool. I came on over via Hwy 64/74/19/23/40/19. It was a beautiful scenic trip that takes to long that going by way of Knoxville and construction and heavy nightmare traffic. Unless it's winter icy, I will not travel the Interstate 40 way again. It's actually just a hair shorter if you can just drive and not stop and take pictures or shop which is what I did this morning. I found a nice quilt shop Quilters Quarters in Waynesville NC. Easy access off 19/23 off and on again in a breeze.<br />
<br />
I hate to say this is really not a pleasure trip as my mom has not been feeling well and a trip to the doctor is in order for tomorrow. Normally I would be in bed but something hit me as I sat at this table. This table that I did homework at and ate gravy and biscuits,with fresh cantelope. A table where we ate hot biscuits and fresh honey right after my dad robbed the bees; one where I couldn't leave until I ate my eggplant - yech. I still see my dad sitting in his place that since his death is now occupied by my mom. remembering how the three of us children and parents fit so nicely around this table. This table that now somehow seems smaller but no less comfortable. I didn't want to go to bed. So I cut out some quilt pieces and sat until I could put into words how my heart feels. So much of this home is just like it was when my dad died 39 years ago. I think of it now, I suppose as Father's Day approaches. His 51 year old face frozen in my mind and heart. My older sis, brother, and myself have passed his age. All with a bit of terror I might add, how could we do that? It just seemed wrong. I still feel his presence because as the baby, I still remember his presence so well.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I suppose it is time for lights out - 1:30 am. the farmers will be up shortly to start milking. I am going to crawl into the bed that served me well as a teen. Hopefully tomorrow - I throw some pic's up here. Night for now from Leicester NC I believe this is God's country so I shall rest well. <br />

Doing
the Right Thing: God wants us to obey Him and do His will, regardless
of the consequences. And the truth is, doing the right thing is not
always easy. Sometimes as Christians we have the false expectation that
if we are doing what God wants us to do - than everything will be easy
in our lives! But that could not be further from the truth. Jesus set a
wonderful example for all of us to follow, for when He was here on
earth, He was ridiculed, made fun of, spied on, and lied about - but He
kept doing the will of “His Father!” There will be times when we are
doing what we “know” God wants us to do, and yet we will suffer
rejection, persecution, and hardship. Just because we are
“uncomfortable,” or we don’t like being tormented for something we don’t
deserve, should not deter us for even a moment from doing God’s will.
Jesus warned us that there would be troublesome times in John 16:33
where He says,“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may
have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good
cheer, I have overcome the world.” We need not worry or fear when we are
“doing the right thing,” because God will stand by our side - even in
the midst of our toughest trial! Text: 1 Peter 3:17, Psalm 27:1,
Proverbs 2:8</div>

Not because I don't care for it, but with limited funds, I'm selective who and what I pay for, otherwise I'd be broke and my inbox would be so full I'd never complete a class of instruction. Anyway, enjoy this resource from the Language Arts Gurus and the Ladies of Analytical Grammar.<br />

I found a great list at The Internet Movie Database of movies based on classic literature. These are all highly rated.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001l72-ljtFzqjxtyLxEvO0KqVPvYiIGNi7Hh2qHgBpvdsU3AGR6_IUvbUywk8YxQ3sID6c3yvDknhu1hxxFYCNgaL2D-AMVM0EIYfOg42uQ2PZfJCcme7AknTRO4HM0gboL4uHX4JRb8mE8OWrETMdz-SdHdLhHcGVIH1IJHIoSTrFypwZw5wKHyNbGEysWnoe&c=jku4Ma5ATHgdnS2uGZnASlQBfD1MTMtlu7rKWf9ybR7Tk3DIh7HX5Q==&ch=s2WGZabuSc15v6iTfbwzopsNK9_RkL1f3OUNefhRQ_Sd1QbQbkytTQ==" shape="rect" style="color: blue;" target="_blank">http://www.imdb.com/list/ls050543383/</a><br />
There is nothing wrong with using a movie to help teach a book. If you have a particular difficult piece of literature, it might be a good idea to watch a quality movie version first. I did that for <em>Pillars of the Earth</em>. When I read the book after watching the miniseries, the actors from the screen "acted" the book out in my head; it was great! </div>
<div>
<br />
You can also watch the movie after reading the book, too. Movies are almost never completely accurate to the book. It can be a great discussion to talk about what was changed or left out, and how that changed the experience of the story.</div>

dear Aunt Dorothy at the beginning of October. I had been her care giver
for a couple of years and losing her was life changing. I found myself
bouncing off the walls for a while, often heading for the door with no
reason, but life has filled itself it and things around my house have
"normal-ed" out; well, as normal as can be with an illness like mine,
homeschooling a bipolar child and running after 7 dogs 3 cats and a
husband still recuperating from back surgery. Yes, this is the NEW
normal.<br />
<br />
I managed to sew up a few table runners as gifts for Christmas as
well as homemade goodies for the baskets. We rarely buy anything. We
just stopped that a long time ago and make things. SCrreech! Halt! We --
no, no, no.. I make things, I sew and I cook and I arrange. They
sample, and ooh and ahh, cheer me on with moral support and thus the
presents are made.<br />
<br />
This one was for my big sis. <br />

It's like this folks. I can give up everything I hold near and dear to my heart or I can find a way to work with it, albeit for short period of times, it does sadden me that I cannot go wide open like I did before my illness, but the things I can do, I will do.<br />

German Christmas bread (Stollen) was baked; a recipe provided from a German friend. It received great reviews, so thanks go out to Miz Karin. This is right out of the over - prebutter and preconfectioner sugar and wrapped.<br />

I wish I had gotten a pic of the baskets, just so I would remember next year what I did, exactly but if I get it all down here, hopefully that will be enough spark to get my imagination rolling.<br />
<br />
Each basket had a table runner, a quart of homemade, canned veggie soup tht I did back in the summer, mainly with veggies I grew. Next I put in seasoned Oyster crackers, a favorite recipe give to me from my late Aunt Dorothy. I put in a load of Stollen, and a small bottle of Russian Tea that I had found the recipe for online; it got the hubs approval so I knew it was great. I also put in a jar of dill pickles, and some homemade bark with peppermint.<br />
<br />
One last thing before I go. I managed to add another blog site to my areas of reading. It is Queen Mercy Crochet. My youngest has been crocheting and knitting since age 9 and finally has decided to challenge herself with blog site and to write her own patterns, so check her out. <br />
<br />
So I finished everything on the 23rd. It was time to relax. And I did.<br />

I saw it in McCall's Quick Quilt magazine and I fell in love with it at first sight and knew I had to make it. It just so happened that at that same time Susan at <a href="http://www.hyderhangout.com/" target="_blank">Hyderhangout</a> just received this grouping of fabric! After piecing, Jackie Cory did the quilting for me and the rest is history.<br />

It’s the time of year that even my illness has a hard time keeping me down. I do have to be wary of neighbors fertilizing and ‘pesticiding’ and fabric ‘softenerizing’ but I love being outside, I love growing things, and I love my tiny roses. I saved them from certain death a couple of years ago from the local grocery. Valentines Day was over and nobody received these lovely’s as a gift so these were drying out and marked down to .99 and 1.99. I bought 4. #3 is a mini yellow barely budding and #4 had a hard winter but survived, these two will be featured at a later date. They are fighters and I know they will put out some beautiful flower soon. These guys however, loved the oak tree leaf mulch that I left on until just about 10 days ago. They are amazing.</font></p> <p><font size="3">I also inherited a “Red Hot Poker” from my Aunt Dorothy. You can literally watch this thing grow.</font></p> <p><font size="3">I am so sad that I sold my Rebel XT and never replaced. I am forced to use the tag-along family Kodak. So, here are the pics of my beauties.

I don't think most of the people choosing what they chose even know the difference - so don't look for any political advice on my page; sometimes even I get swayed by misleading words and phrases so I apologize for misleading or misrepresenting my conservative self pain any way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">AND NO, you are not taking my stuff and giving to someone who has nothing for the "common good". And if by chance, I win the $400 million dollar lottery, start or buy many businesses and want to "give" $399 million to the next presidential campaign, DO NOT tell me I can't. You can, however, trust me when I say I want nothing in return but the promises spoken - kept. </span><br />

<br /></div>
I stated earlier that I wanted to post a few new items I had made. One of which was some beautiful FSL ( Free Standing Lace) this pattern which was purchased from <u><a href="http://www.urbanthreads.com/" target="_blank">Urban Threads</a></u>.<br />
I saw them, made them for fun. Then found out that Hyderhangout was hosting a Fashion show, for the charity Harbour House, and was requested to enter, so I did. My entry actually received 1st place in the Accessories Category. I added a few glass beads for embellishment on the mask, bracelet, and butterfly pin not seen in this photo. Chains and a blue cameo bird pendant were added to the Raven Lace Choker.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We had professional D.J.'s, so I strutted my stuff to Patti LaBelle's Lady Marmalade played in the background. A fun time was had by all.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Much thanks goes out to the designers at Urban Threads. They are fantastic!</div>

I wanted to try an make a monthly post and here it is 6 months later. So, If I get something in now it should be easier in January. Right? <br />
<br />
Health-wise, my <a href="http://invisibleillnessweek.com/2010/08/28/multiple-chemical-sensitivity-can-be-considered-an-invisible-illness/#disqus_thread">MCS</a> is staying controlled as long as I control my exposure. I have found that formaldehyde in fabric sizing is affecting me more with each exposure and of course my new friend owns a quilt shop. <a href="http://www.hyderhangout.com/">Hyderhangout: Quilt Fabric & More</a>, here in Cleveland TN. Susan Hyder is a good friend with her own set of issues. She is allergic to chocolate. yes, I said chocolate as in Anaphylaxis. So no chocolate allowed in shop or on person or eating before entering or touching anything after touching chocolate. Just when you think your life sucks....<br />
<br />
I hope to post pic's of my Christmas cards shortly after Christmas. Right now, this 5 minutes is all I have and I haven't taken the pics yet. <br />
<br />
So check back soon and I will post pics ASAP<br />

I normally am moving so fast that I don't give myself time to stop and reflect on what is going on around me. So here are three things that I have learned in the past 24 hours.<br />
<br />
<br />
First I would like to know where IV sedation along with nitrous oxide used in conjunction with oral surgery has been my entire life. If this has been the norm and I had known about it my teeth would be in a whole lot better shape today. I also didn't know that having oral surgery,such as I did, that it would take so much out of me. I slept most of yesterday. I stayed up for a couple of hours but I quickly went back to sleep and slept until 730 this morning which is something that I haven't done in years. I am also a firm believer that when anyone has any type of surgery where one is sedated, that their loved ones should take the cell phones away from them. Tell them the battery is dead, tell them that the cellular towers are down, tell them anything they will believe it just keep their cell phones away from them. <br />
<br />
<br />
2nd. Several months ago I complained about muscle cramps in my legs and in my shoulder. My fabulous doctor suggested I take magnesium citrate 400 mg a day, he told me I could get it in various places but to buy on Amazon from Solgar would be the least expensive and was what and where he purchased his, so I tried it. It was no quick fix but I soon realized after about three weeks that my cramps were lessening, I unfortunately ran out about a week ago and I have noticed that those cramps are coming back and my shoulder is hurting tremendously so it may be a little late but I ordered another bottle today. So if you're bothered by leg cramps shoulder cramps just muscles cramping badly, try magnesium citrate by Solgar 400 mg a day is only $7.12 for 60 caplets, on Amazon. I tried other magnesium but I could not find the citrate and nothing worked until I tried the magnesium citrate. Dr. Rucker told me that it was the citrate is best absorbed by the body.<br />
<br />
<br />
3rd. I also learned today that you should doublecheck your washcloths before using. You see, multiple washcloths are held together by a little tiny T of plastic. If you miss that little tiny T, which is easy to do because it is tiny and clear, it can hurt you and even put your eye out. No, I did not put my eye out but it did leave a little red mark on my shoulder before I realized that I was scratching myself. Ouch!<br />
I am thankful for the rain because without it yesterday today and tomorrow I would feel guilty about not being outside and working. I am thankful for my family who is taking care of me. I am thankful for my pets who have surrounded me and slept on me. I am thankful for my extended family and friends who have prayed for me and called to check on me.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know this time of relaxation and reflection is almost over but I'm going to milk it for another couple hours, for tomorrow I'm sure the sun will shine and my family, well my family will soon be tired of taking care me and will be relying on my strengths, those strengths that make me the mom and wife , washer, shopper, caretaker, caregiver, chauffeur; all the things for which they are accustomed. I am thankful for the time off but I'm thankful that I will be able to resume my duties and in a whole lot less pain that I have been the past several weeks.<br />

YummmThe elusive Salsa Verde finally came across my screen a couple weeks ago. The one I've tasted many times at our favorite Mexican restaurant. You remember, the one in New Jersey, or Chicago, Memphis, Cleveland TN? Well, I've tried many recipes, none quite hit the spot, until now. I now realize it is the broiling or grilling of the ingredients that bring out that glorious taste. So, without further interruption,and while I go prepare Huevos Verde for breakfast, here is the recipe and website.

Roasted Tomatillo Salsa (Salsa Verde)

Print
Prep time
15 mins
Cook time
15 mins
Total time
30 mins
Created By: Adam and Joanne Gallagher
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
1 lb. tomatillos (4-5 tomatillos)
1 jalapeno pepper
1 serrano pepper
2 unpeeled garlic cloves
1/2 cup chicken stock
4 tbsp. diced white onion
1/3 cup cilantro
1 tbsp. lime juice
1/2 tsp. salt
Method
Move an oven rack to the top position for broiling. Preheat broiler to high.
Remove husks and wash tomatillos.
Place tomatillos, peppers and unpeeled garlic cloves into an oven-safe baking dish with sides. Place into the oven, 4 inches from the preheated broiler, until the tomatillos are roasted and the peppers are slightly charred on all sides, about 10-15 minutes. Rotate tomatillos, peppers and garlic during roasting to ensure all sides are slightly charred.
Remove the baking dish and add chicken stock to de-glaze the pan. If tomatillos, peppers and garlic are stuck to the bottom of the dish, use a wooden spoon to scrap the baking dish.
Once cool to the touch, peel the garlic and discard the skins (you may have to squeeze the soft garlic out of the skin).
For a spicier salsa, leave in all seeds from peppers, for a medium salsa, remove half of the seeds and for a mild salsa remove all seeds from peppers.
Add the tomatillos, garlic and peppers to a food processor as well as the onions, cilantro, lime juice and salt.
Add about 1/2 of the chicken stock from the baking dish and pulse the food processor 3-4 times or until the salsa has come together. You can add more chicken stock based on your own preferences for consistency.
Serve salsa warm, at room temperature or cold.
Notes
For easier removal of the pepper skins: as soon as you take them out from under the broiler, place them into a resealable plastic bag and leave them alone for 10 minutes, after ten minutes the steam generated from the peppers will make it really easy to remove the skins.
