BEEN ONLINE BUDDIES WITH JESS FOR MANY YEARS.
ONE OF HER LONG TIME DREAMS IS FINALLY BECOMING A REALITY.

YOU CAN READ ABOUT JESS HERE. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT HER BOUTIQUE HERE. DON’T JUST CHECK IT OUT MAKE SURE YOU GO SHOPPING TOO.

ADD TWISTED BLISS BOUTIQUE ON TWITTER.

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR VISITING!

I HOPE YOU ALL ARE HAVING A GREAT WEEKEND!
I KNOW EVERYBODY IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE HEAT, BUT PLEASE STAY COOL AND DRINK LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER.

JUAT WANTED TO SHARE SOME PICTURES OF STOCKINGS I MADE IMMASUPERSTAR. I AM MAKING HER A STOCKING FOR EVERY HOLIDAY.
I MAILED THEM NOT TO LONG AGO,
SO I DIDN’T WANT TO POST PICTURES UNTIL SHE SAW THEM FIRST.

EASTER STOCKING

EASRTH DAY STOCKING.

MEMORIAL DAY STOCKING

I HAVE 3 MORE THAT I SENT HER BUT I WILL SAVE THOSE 3 FOR ANOTHER POST.

HAVE A GREAT REST OF THE WEEKEND!!
THANKS FOR VISITING.

MY BABY GUY EATING ONE OF THE SNACKS CARMEN SENT HIM.

HAPPY FLAG DAY!!

I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT WEEKEND.
MINE WAS FULL OF ANGELS BASEBALL AND THE NIECE’S SOFTBALL GAMES.
2 OF MY FAVORITE THINGS.

I AM TAKING A PAGE OUT OF MARILLA’S BOOK TODAY AND NOT LISTING ANY NAMES.
I DO WANT TO ASK THAT YOU HEAD ON OVER TO HER SITE AND READ HER FLAG DAY POST.

MOST PEOPLE DON’T EVEN REALIZE WE HAVE A FLAG DAY, SO PLEASE GO CHECK IT OUT.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK.

I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT MEMORIAL DAY, BUT MOST IMPORTANT I HOPE YOU TOOK TIME TODAY TO THINK ABOUT OUR TROOPS.

IN A FEW DAYS IT WILL BE 6 YEARS THE COUSIN DIED.
THEY SAID IT WOULD GET EASIER. FOR ME IT HASN’T.
EVERY TIME I GO TO AN ANGELS GAME AND I HEAR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, I CRY.
I CRY BECAUSE HE ISN’T HERE.
I CRY BECAUSE HE ISN’T HERE TO GO TO GAMES WITH THE SISTER AND I.
I CRY BECAUSE A 21 YEAR OLD’S LIFE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TAKEN THAT WAY.
I CRY BECAUSE OF HOW HE LOVED HIS COUNTRY ENOUGH TO LOSE HIS LIFE.

I THINK ABOUT HIM DAILY. I THINK ABOUT ALL OF OUR FALLEN SOLDIERS.
WHILE I MAY NOT KNOW EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE ONE’S I LIST HERE EVERY MONDAY. IT STILL BREAKS MY HEART THAT THEIR LIFE WAS TAKEN. IT BREAKS MY HEART FOR THE KIDS LEFT BEHIND, FOR THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS.

PLEASE COME HOME SAFE ANTONIO. WE MISS AND LOVE YOU.

BOUGHT THIS START AT CARL’S JR. THE OTHER DAY IN HONOR OF MY FRIEND ANTONIO BUTCHER. 100% OF THE PROCEEDS FROM EVERY STAR SOLD BETWEEN MAY 4-25TH IS BEING DONATED TO USA CARES AND HOMES FOR OUR TROOPS.

I BOUGHT TEN AND IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WILL BE POSTING PICTURES OF THE REST.

I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT WEEK!
I FINALLY STARTED SEWING AGAIN. I CAME ACROSS THIS CUTE LITTLE TIE TUTORIAL. I WANTED TO MAKE SOMETHING EASY BECAUSE IT’S ONLY DAY 2 WITHOUT MY SPLINT. PAIN WASN’T SO BAD YESTERDAY, BUT I MADE THE MISTAKE OF PICKING UP A ROSE BUSH AND WOW DID THAT HURT. GOING TO MAKE THIS LONG STORY SHORT LOL, MY WRIST STARTED HURTING SO BAD BY THE END OF YESTERDAY THAT I HAD TO PUT THE SPLINT BACK ON.

OKAY ENOUGH OF MY WRIST BECAUSE I’M SURE YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT. HA!

STILL BEEN LEARNING ALL KINDS OF 0RIGAMI, SO HERE IS A SWAN I MADE LAST WEEK.

I MADE TYSIN A TIE TODAY

NOT GOING TO OVER DO IT WITH THE SEWING RIGHT AWAY.
GOING TO MAKE MARILLA A TABLE RUNNER AND I’LL GO FROM THERE.

I HAVE MORE STUFF TO SHARE, BUT I REALLY SHOULD NOT BE TYPING SO MUCH.

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND AND THANKS FOR VISITING.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE MONTH’S OF THE YEAR!!
BEEN CRAFTING SO MUCH LATELY AND I KIND OF WISH I WOULD HAVE LEFT SOME OF THE STUFF I MADE FOR THIS MONTH. WAS GOING TO TRY AND MAKE ONE CRAFTY ITEM A DAY THIS ENTIRE MONTH. I DECIDED AGAINST IT BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE SO MUCH GOING ON.
HERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON. NO BIG DEAL LOL
