hubby
and I both dealt with our moms with issues starting in the fall, anything from
dementia, moving in with her for a week, moving her to Alaska, hoarding, congestive heart failure, stroke, infection and
cancer.
*He lost his mom in early December.*
At Christmas, we did our first annual "Ugly
Sweater Christmas"
mainly supplied by some of my mom's gazillion sweaters that we found while dehoarding.
Speaking of cleaning, my dad, who has been gone for 23 years decided to leave a little of his personality behind, because I found this on a box while cleaning his side of the closet out:
Thanks Dad ♥
Added grandbaby #2 in early January. Little boy. Well not really little, darn near 10# and 22".
*Followed
by my mom's death 8 days later.*
So needless to say, it has a very
eventful ride these last few months, and now we of course are dealing
with estate issues.
Both of us. At the same time. oh yes.
In February, my youngest daughter and I decided to enter a "Pinewood Derby" family event at church. Just for the BLING aspect, of course. Purple and bling, what do you expect from a jewelry designer???
So
with all that~things have been on hiatus as far as the studio.
But~ now with the Bead
Soup Blog Party
the Art Glass and Bead Show in Madison
and three
shows coming up in the next 2 mos, we're jump starting the new beading
year. ☺
And I'm back in the swing of things.
More to come.
