Jewells of Thought

This week has been a roller coaster of emotions for me. On top of last week where I felt stress bogging me down I feel slightly different this week. Only I have a plan this week more than I did I know I have support I just need to get through these little obstacles that feel more like land mines that I have to be on alert for and watch out for with each step I take.

Thank goodness this week has had some really good moments. Finishing different phases of projects makes a gal feel really good. The American in me always loves to work on these special planes I have and the tractors I also relate to in various ways. I love working with my hands something I have seen by example all of my life by my family.

A couple little hiccups have gotten in the way though. Grandma’s sewing machine is working, but it needs to be looked at possibly by my Great Aunt Helen. She has already offered to look at it although she’s not really in a good place health wise at this time. I am going to her home tonight to work on some pillows to complete and finish a couple projects.

Last night I finally put together the present for a wedding gift. I am excited the pieces all came together and the frame looks awesome with this piece. This is one of my original new designs. Some of the comments from close friends who have seen it have boosted my self esteem. Even my Dad likes what I did, but my parents are a tad bit biased.

Bryan has also claimed himself as my number one fan as he said a couple of nights ago. He still gives me flutters with his adorably sweet texts that leave me in sugar shock. He has always had a way of knowing what it is I need to hear I am so grateful to have him and his understanding and love in my life.

I am so close and ready for this new chapter. My projects are nearly there and ready to be seen. Once some of the little snafus are taken care of things will change hopefully. I have just taken the little snafus to be big catastrophes lately. Now I can take a deep breath and know some of my work is coming to fruition even if not everything is where I want it to be on the whole.

This is a very special piece made for a young girl that I remember from a different time and church for her for her wedding! It is a one of a kind and I will be changing this a little bit to make again.
