I'm Back!!

And this is what I am doing to 2011....

Washing it all away....

They say tragedies come in three....

After hearing of Kenny's death...

I got where I didn't want to answer the phone.

But December brought us one more....

my oldest daughter hit a little boy in a school zone.

So you can see why 2011 is out....

and I am soooooo

ready

for 2012~

I have been amazed this last month and a half ...

of how much I have missed my bloggie friends.

Not only have I missed you....

I realized what a big part of my life you have become.

A part that has kept me uplifted,

encouraged,

hopeful,

inspired...

This 'Thank You' comes from a deep part in my heart!

Thanks for hanging in with me.

So this blog is going back to being happy and inspirational!

Tory is moving back to Tennessee!
(She's actually driving through the night right now.)

She's doing good....thank you for all of your prayers.

I know they are a big part of her healing.

I've been slowly trying to get these Lost Soldier Boy Quilts together.
I'll be posting pics....I promise.
And for those who asked to help quilt them...
they will be on their way.

I have been doing a lot of hand stitching...

trying to get Buttercream Summer finished.

I will be showing pics as soon as this baby is complete too!

Tomorrow I head out to Myrtle Beach to a Quilt Show.

 

Myrtle Beach Resort and Hotel

I was going to go alone to this show...

but the hubby came home and said he was stressing all day about it....

so he's coming too.

I think he changed his mind when he saw the picture above!

If any of you are in the area,

please stop in and say hello!

Thanks again for being a part of my life.

I love you all!

More Prayers Needed....

Just a quick plea for prayers.
(I try to keep my blog uplifting so please forgive my lack.) 

Tory's future father in law  (Kenny) has just passed away of a heart attack.

She called me crying uncontrollably

and sounded just like she did when I got the phone call about Chris' dying over in Afghanistan.

Apparently Kenny had a heart attack. She just went hunting with him yesterday morning.

Please, please we need your prayers for this poor little family.

For Tammy his wife,

For his two sons, Danny and Mike,

and for Tory.

Tory was so close to Kenny,

and he was the one who was really helping to hold her up through all of her grief in losing Chris.

I can't begin to imagine his wife's pain in losing her son and now her husband all within three months....
and these boys...
losing their brother and their dad.

I know God doesn't give us more than we can handle,

but I truly am worried for my little one.

Thank you so much!

(For those of you who don't know,

Tory's fiance Chris was killed in Afghanistan Sept. 3rd.

Kenny was Chris' dad.)

I am still taking a break, please forgive!
