A Request...

Yesterday, TamiD's husband lost his job, one that he's been at for over three years and is highly skilled at. Remember my beautiful kitchen cabinets? Yeah, her husband did that. Obviously, this came as a shock for them. They have a new home and a lovely seven year old daughter and losing his job could not have come at a worse time.

As some of you know, TamiD has an Etsy shop, too, and she sells prints from photographs that she has taken in our part of the state. She also has some gorgeous hand painted ceramics in her shop. The detail on them is amazing! I talked with her about doing something to help and she decided to run a special just for the people that read my blog. If you buy a print from her, put "Pinky's Blog" in the Note To Seller and you will receive 20% off your order.

Here is an example of how beautiful her work is:

(click the pics, you know how I am)

I own the Flaming Tulip and let me tell you, the color is even more vibrant in person! It's stunning! So please, take some time, go through her shop, buy something and help her and her family during this difficult time. Thank you!! Hugs, love and snuggles ~ Pinky!

Uungh...

I don't feel so well. All my family came back home yesterday and I think they gave me germs! YUCK! I slept a lot this afternoon and we have a sorta busy week ahead.

Hubby's grandmother passed away yesterday at the ripe old age of 101! Yes, I said 101! Everyone is okay with this as she has been sick for quite some time and living in a home. But there are arrangements to be made and things to be taken care of, so it's still a lot. I worry the most about my father in law. He's gone to see her twice a day, every day for seventeen years. I know he will feel her loss the most so please keep him, and the family, in your thoughts.

We bid you farewell Grandma C and know that you are finally at rest. You've finally gone home...

I should be asleep

BUT, I'm not, so here is my newest piece!

Girls Night Out

Well hubby is out of town for the weekend, so Baby Pinky and I had a girls night! We rented movies, ordered Chinese food and it was great. She had a slumber party in my room and brought all her babies!! Me, her and the cat all piled up, it was great. :)

But now I've got to get her ready to go to her dad's house and mine will be empty. I've been wanting some "me" time, but not a whole weekend. I get a little spooked when I'm in this house all alone. I do have a lovely bottle of wine that I can open, watch The Notebook and have a quiet night to myself. We'll see, we'll see... ~Pinky!

Thanks Mrs. Kwitty and Amber

I was having a less than great day. In fact, I was having a pretty crappy day. You two really brightened it for me and I needed it more than you could have known.

Thank you...

New Work!

Okay, this is a new style of photography for me and I am looking for opinions on the way it's done. Do you like it? Do you hate it? Do you prefer the outdoor shots? Do you think this showcases my work better? Everything and anything that you can think of, spill it.

Okay, I have to go finish packaging the million things I sold this weekend! YIPPEE!! So, I will check back in later. HUGS to all!! ~Pinky!

Tapestry

This piece was inspired by Amber's Thankful Thursday post yesterday. She was talking about how she is thankful for the internet because of all the places and people that it has opened up to her. I agree and I got to really thinking about what she wrote and I came up with this piece in response to that.

We are a Tapestry of people, cultures and worlds that have been brought together over a cable, a frequency or a wire that has blurred borders nearly beyond what the mind can comprehend. We talk, laugh, cry and interact everyday with people that we may have never seen or spoken to before. But they are friends, loved ones and people that we really care about. It's a meshing of lives that is coming together to make the most beautiful piece of living art.

That is why I created this piece. It's filled with all different kinds of beads in a myriad of colors. It's one of a kind, just like each of us. Yet it is blended together to make a stunning display of color and charisma. We are the Tapestry of this world, smile and be thankful you're a part of it.

My love ~ Pinky

What up, yo?

We're not working on house #2 today, so I feel like a kid playing hooky from school!! Granted, I went over there for about an hour, but I wasn't in the mood to get crazy and work all day. Plus, it kind of makes me itchy being in there now. We pulled the carpet out of the big room on Tuesday and OMG, it was so freaking nasty!! BLECH!! We wore gloves and masks and I had on long sleeves, and we both still felt yucky after that. So, no house for me today!! Yippee!!

In other non-related news, all three of us had a Happy Valentines Day! Hubby bought Cinderella 3 for Baby Pinky, so you know she was cool. And I got the Hallmark tiger that sounds all French and sassy. He's really cute and sounds a lot like hubby when he's being sassy. ;) I also got a nice bottle of red wine, yummy. Hubby got a big bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (his fav) and I made red beans and rice with sausage and Texas toast garlic bread, all for him!! Baby Pinky and I had something else!! So he got to eat his favorite thing and nearly explode from eating a meal for three.

Well, I guess since I have a free day, I'm going to go work on some jewelry! OH! I'm submitting 2 pieces to a silent auction that's going to be happening in April. When I get the pieces done, I'll let you know. And, I'm doing another beading challenge. Remember the one last fall? Well this is a winter one and it's sponsored by Etsy, so it could be some good exposure for me. Okay, all this talk about beading makes my fingers itchy, so I better scoot. HUGS!! ~Pinky!!
