FOLLOW YOUR HEART


Follow your heart....available here.

Just added this to my etsy shop, although I may have to make one for myself as a reminder! I really loved making this, there is something about adding words to your jewelry story that makes it so fulfilling.
Today I had my first Ivig infusion.....although painless, except for a whopper of a headache, I am utterly exhausted. Doing nothing for 5 hours is exhausting, and headaches and exhaustion are a side effect, so I am now headed for the couch.
Thanks for visiting and all your support....I appreciate it so much.

THIS IS TODAY


ICE! Yes, today is ice day here, and I am not liking it. Yesterday was a few inches of snow, and last night we got an inch of ice. You can't shovel it, you just break it and then pick it up. I do a little bit and then am exhausted! Try to help the DH out, but this is a tough one. I am so ready for spring. Punxatawny Phil says it is right around the corner.

I wanted to take a minute to address what is going on with me. I have not been to wordy lately, I really don't know what to say anymore. I guess...er, I know I am depressed. The god news is that I am really into making jewelry these days, but not really any art. I am scheduled to start a new treatment called Ivig infusion, to give my body new and good antibodies. It takes 2 days in a row once a month. Each day is 5 to 6 hours long. The past 2 weeks I had to cancel because of snow because it takes over an hour to get there. I have to do this for 4 months. As if I am not aggravated enough, my hours were cut at work, 20 hours less a month, and this will impact me greatly. I have worked at my place for 26 years, it has never been so bad. So I have been concentrating on my etsy shop to increase my income a bit, and January was a pretty good month for me. I am scared in many ways right now. I have to still go for more tests, and I am tired. I don't want to drive people away because of my illness talk, so I haven't been talking a lot.
So that's it. I am sorry . I want to be in a better mood. At least I am creating...hopefully I will snap out of this soon. I need some sunshine, and flowers in the yard, that would be the perfect prescription!

IN THE ATTIC



I finally got around to using some of my gorgeous vintage buttons. I had this on the list of things to do for while now. I see more of these in the future since I have quite a collection, and what better way to use them! It's a fun piece! I could use some fun as the impending snow is again upon us for this week, and ice. It's looking like more jewelry time for me!
Stay warm , have a great week, and thanks so much for visiting!
