First of all, my son was married on August 9th and I now have a wonderful new daughter-in-law. I am so proud and so happy for them as they start this new phase of life as man and wife. Here are a few photo's I wanted to share.
Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Shaffer
Our New Family
My Darling Great Nephew
Our Youngest Son Shawn
As you can tell I haven't quite mastered manipulating photos as of yet so I apologize for the super-size gigantic ones and then the little tiny, itty bitty ones. lol. I have wonderful memories of that day.
Some other things going on in my life right now are that I have began a plan to come off of my medication and I hope it has some positive effects for me. Not a big deal to most but something important in my life right now.
My youngest son Shawn started his senior year of high school today. He wasn't very excited this morning about it whatsoever. I am glad I had the day off to be here with him and get him up. Not sure how tomorrow will work since I will be at work. I guess it's time to dig out the old alarm clock and pray he hears it. I can call him but that will get old real fast so I really hope he comes up with a solution. I am real happy for him to have accomplished everything he has. I just wish he had some more confidence and maybe a better attitude about life. He's kind of a quiet kid but not very happy and so very serious. And bullheaded. Gee, I wouldn't know where he gets that. lol. Those that really know and love me could shed some light on that one. lol. Anyway, my prayer is that he flourishes this year not only academically but socially as well. Perhaps he will find his place where he feels comfortable among a group and wants to make new friends.
I still haven't done much more on the Flower Garden project. Except I have ripped alot of stitches. Once again, I felt what I had done was infantile and I could do better. So, now I am basically back to square one with it. Still not sure when I'll pick it back up. The person I thought I could sell it to will probably be a grandmother before I get this one done for sure.
I've been busy with a couple of Associated Content pieces the last few weeks. Not alot but it's keeping me busy now and then. And what I make off of articles helps me pay my etsy listing fees. If you'd like, please stop by my content page in the next few days to view my latest articles. Here's my link:

I've still not gotten the fabric for the golf cart seat covers but just told hubby I need to get on it as I could use the money I will be paid for making them. Now, today I have this brilliant idea of repurposing an old futon no one wants that I'm stuck with and completeing two tasks in the process. First off, the brilliant part came in today when I figured I could use the foam from the mattress to stuff my couch and love seat with. I guess we bought somewhat inferior furniture as not long after we got it, it started to lose it's plumpness. Over the years I've stuffed it with blankets, pillows and what not but today I figure I can use the foam from the mattress and cover it with this blanket I use to wrap all the other blankets in I use to stuff it because it matches the furniture and isn't so noticeable. Now I can't hardly wait to start on it. Then I thought the old cover that is over the futon mattress is just the kind of fabric I need to make this seat cover for the golf cart and if I do it right I may have minimal work to do to it to convert it. Of course this all sounds good now. lol. Just wait til I actually tackle the project and see what tune I'm singing. lol.
For now though I think I will end for today. I am also going to re-photograph the items I have for sale on etsy and update that site but I am also going to put the items on ebay as well. I'm not real happy with my pictures, I never have been so today I might try and take some better ones. Wish me luck. Of course it's my day off and I just might sleep too. lol.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!!!
Renee
