It's the weekend!!!

Hiya!!!

This is my baby, Sassy. She's 17 years old!!!  She still gets around pretty well. Her back legs are getting tired, and they slide around quite a bit. She has a heart murmur, and hypothyroidism, so she takes meds for both of those conditions. We've had her since she was about 10 weeks old, so she's definitely a member of the family. Had to take her to the vet today. She's had a problem with dermatitis for about a year now. Antibiotics help some, so she got two shots today. They clipped the hair around the sore spots too, so she looks a little patchy right now. But that's ok, as long as she gets better.

I also have another baby, Misty. She's my little rescue. A lady who runs a boarding and grooming business told about her on FaceBook. Seems that she had wandered onto this farm a while back, and the man who lived there finally got tired of having her around. He said that if someone didn't take her, he was gonna shot her. I couldn't let that happen, so she became mine. She's so sweet, and just wants a lot of love.

After I got her, I took her to the vet's the very next day. That's when I found out that she has heartworms. I can't afford the main treatment that the vets recommend, so we have her on HeartGuard. That will kill off all of the babies, and keep them from multiplying. We'll keep checking her for the heartworms, and hopefully the adults will die off. The vet said that her heart sounded good and strong, so I just hope for the best for her. 
 
I was a little under the weather on Thursday. My sugar and blood pressure was good, but my heart rate was racing. It does this from time to time since I got my pacemaker last year, but the technician says that the pacemaker is doing fine. When my heart races, I can feel it---in my ears and chest, and it makes me nauseous. I felt so bad that I missed my social media class that night. On Friday, I slept most of the day. It's like my body needs a rest day every once in a while, and I sleep for a day. I feel better today though, so I just go with what my body needs.

I did go up to DS's on Thursday, and got some sewing projects started. Gotta get them finished, cuz they're Christmas presents, so I can't say too much about them yet.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and is getting ready for Christmas, only 10 days away!!! Good thoughts to all, blessed be, hugs!!!

Busy Weeks

Hiya!!!

Well, we made it to Friday again. I had a full week, for me that is. Something to do everyday this week.

Monday, it was to print and submit my business plan for Pam's Pretties 57, the business. I took a box of new fabric up to my sister's where we ohhed and ahhed over the pieces. She printed off the plan for me (I've been out of printer ink for months), and I got it submitted to the competition. Haven't heard anything about it yet. Then Tuesday and Thursday had evening Social Media classes through the local community college. This is a set of four classes, the rest will be next Tuesday and Thursday nights. We had really good classes---only four people on Tuesday and five on Thursday. You get a lot more attention to questions when there's only a few students in class. Wednesday night was standard supper out with Dean. We went to Sagebrush Steakhouse, yummy, sweet potato fries :). Then this afternoon I went to my daughter's---my grandson helped me with a Christmas present. Can't tell about it yet, DD might just actually read this. lol Then I had a dental appointment for a cleaning. Not the best way to spend an hour, but at least I don't have a fear of the dentist like many people I know.

I'm trying to set up a website for my pretties. I have a shop on Etsy, but feel that a website would help to spread the word about my shop.

Got a really busy week scheduled for next week too. On Monday, I have an appointment for blood work at my doctor's office at 9:00 am, then an appointment with another doctor at 2:00 pm, then a taxes class from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. A full day for me!!! Then the Social Media classes Tuesday and Thursday. Supper with Dean on Wednesday. And Friday is clear. YAY!!! Maybe I'll get some sewing done. I need to go up to my sister's one day to cut out some Christmas gifts from the fabric I took up there.

Well, that's about it for today. I'm off to bed, hopefully to sleep tonight. Take care all. Blessed be, hugs!!!

It's a start!!!

HIYA!!!
Well, I guess I've taken the first step. I've created a blog!!! Now to the big QUESTIONS???
          What's it gonna be about???
          Who will read it???
          WHAT WAS I THINKING?????????

I read blogs all the time---quilting blogs, sewing blogs, craft blogs, even a cooking blog (anyone who knows me is rolling in the aisle now---I DON'T COOK). But what is mine gonna be about??? I suppose it will be about my life, such as it is, what I do, and what I love. That would be my family, my dogs (shhh, I'm only supposed to have one), creating all kinds of things, and my business. I have an Etsy shop---called Pam's Pretties 57, of course---where I sell my handcrafted jewelry, crochet items, and hope to soon add sewn and quilted items.

If anyone happens to read this, please leave me a comment, I'd love to make some new friends. Thank you, blessed be, hugs!!!
