Creating One a Week...Every Week..Continues

Yeah! Shweet Success! Keelee is feeling better and she and Zoe and have moved home. A couple days after they moved home I got out my sewing machine and a design I drew up while they were staying with me and got busy sewing. So, I got back into my Creating 1 a Week ...Every Week1.

This is one of my Shweet Smalls. She is an Irish Art Doll and is in my  Etsy shoppe " shweetpotatodolls" .
 She'd love to be adopted in time for St Paddy's Day and her traveling expenses are even covered by me in the USA.  Can't wait to show you tomorrow the doll I made last week. Really back in the groove here.

 Zoe is here this weekend and she has inspired me to work on a series of "children's books". Yes you read that right. Been wanting to do this since the girls were little and so now Keelee hopefully will help me put pen to paper and we'll work together to develop some of the stories we made up together from her childhood. It will so much fun to create them into dolls and books. Having a grand can be very creative and inspiring!

Til tomorrow

God Gives Us Many Blessings

Wow I bet you thought Look Sandi already forgot she was suppose to be creating every week. Nope, I created week 2 and even created 5 things on week 3... week 4 I had to hit my knees in a BIG way and did not get any *creatin* done and to be honest not sure if I can get any done for the next month but maybe that is why God gave me energy I have not had in a year, to create 5 in one week on week 3.

My Keelee had  major emergency surgery and we have been taking care of  4 month Zoe and now Keelee and Zoe while Momma recovers. She had us pick them up from her place on the 18 cause her back was hurting so bad she could not pick up our Zoe to feed her. So Kassy jumps in the car and whips over and gets her sister and niece and brings them to the Tree House and sets them up in their weekend room (they are here most weekends).

Aunt Kassy starts taking care of Zoe and Momma starts heat pads on Keelee's back. We figure she pulled something holding the baby feeding her and the lactation nurse said that her back would hurt so we thought nothing of it. Then Saturday night she noticed the white of her eyes were yellow (no I had not noticed as my eyes are not working to well after my strokes). So thank goodness for small blessings, Her God Father is  someone high up at Parkland, and he gave her a number to call and talk to a nurse who is there 24 hours and told her to come in on Sunday, (seems the country hospital is busy on Saturday nights LOL), as soon as she can, and get it checked out. Guess it was a good thing she did, cause she was taken back as soon as the nurse saw her , and then it seems all the doctors and student doctors ( this is a teaching hospital, and a good one) had to come and and take a peek at her. She had a scope to remove the stone blocking her bile duct on Tuesday and then on Wednesday they removed her gallbladder. She came home on Thursday to the Tree House and is suppose to be resting and recovering but it is hard to keep her in bed and very hard to keep her away from the baby. So hard when you can't pick up and hold your 4 month old little one.

 Poor momma. We do place her next to her in bed and let her stroke n talk to her, but just not the same thing. Grandpa or Pa Paw as Zoe seem to know him has really stepped up! He works all day and even into the night with his DJ job (Music by Marty) and still he stays awake taking shifts with Zoe so Kassy can get some sleep or time out with her friends. Zoe loves riding on the shoulders of her Pa Paw and dancing with him too.

We are so blessed so have so many friends and family here in town and especially online that offered up prayer and healing blessing for Keelee and our family during this emergency. We want to thank each of you for your kind thoughts and prayers.  Just so you know I have not forgotten my pledge and I am listing my creations I made Week 3. If you want to see 2 of them Please pop into Lemon Poppy Seeds and visit my Shoppe you can see  my 2 new listings for 2 of them.


 Check back to tomorrow and hopefully I will have a minute to list one of the dolls *Zoe* on eBay. She is my little Zoe's favorite one. Sadly she is tea stained and has lots of feathers and beading on her on my Zoe Bug can't play with her .like she wants too, so she will go up on eBay to buy diapers and formula for Zoe Bug while she stays at Nanna's Tree House. All the creations are Valentine inspired and come from my heart.
Til tomorrow....

My Goal for 2012- Create 1 a Week- Every Week

I have a new Goal for 2012...To Create ONE new thing, each week of the year. To help keep me honest with this, I plan to post a picture of my creations on Facebook. That way I can share what I am creating and when  I miss a week, as we know will happen from time to time, my crafting friends will push me to get back into the game. Week 1 and 2, I decided to place in my Shweet Potato Dolls N Patterns Shoppe in
                                           the Country Fried Primitive Marketplace.

(Picture above is Week 1. Country Primitive Hanging Heart with Pocket Angel.)

I would love to Challenge any of you to do the same. Create 1 item a week and showcase your creation. You can create anything, it doesn't have to be something sewn, it could be something baked or blogged. The whole idea is to  be creative. Showcase at least one item on your blog, Facebook, email to a friend just let someone else know and see what you have done. This helps keep you honest and keeps your mojo flowing so to speak.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with this year. As for me, I plan to use my weekly creations to get back into my Marketplaces...Lemon Poppy Seeds & Country Fried Primitives and to increase my presence on Etsy.

Until tomorrow...Enjoy Today.
