Not Just Bears

Well we are almost to the end of the year. Another Christmas has come and gone. I am not sad to see this year end. It hasn't been the best year for me. I fractured my leg in February and that took six months to heal and I lost some wonderful people this year. I lost my desire to make bears and took the whole year off. I would go down in the studio and just sit and look at my supplies and that is as far as I would get. I did get some designing done but never got it onto the mohair. To top it all off last monday I fell when I was walking Danny. I have no idea what happened. Thank God my hubby was with us. I guess I didn't put my arms out to try and catch myself so I fell flat on my face. I was a bloody mess. One of our neighbors was driving by and stopped and put me in her car and drove me home. I am finally starting to look human again but my front teeth are still numb. I guess I'll go to the doctor next week. Thankfully I didn't messs my leg up again. In fact it feels

It really was a beautiful day today once the rain stopped.. Another week gone!!!.I'm going to start decorating for Halloween tomorrow.I love going through everything and seeing and remembering everything that I have collected over the years.I'll take some pics tomorrow night and post them...Gonna go to bed..3:30 AM isn't long off!!!

Well the dog that attacked danny did it again last night to another dog only this dog,gunter kicked the dogs ass. Of course no one around to get the dog..I feel sorry for the dog..she's 12 years old and they have a new toddler and just moving the dogs poor life has been turned upside down..you can't blame her..it's the stupid owners fault..the poor dog is the one suffering..like I've always aid...you can't fix stupid!!!

This hasn't been a very good day..I walked Danny this evening and we were almost home and the new neighbors dog came barreling out of their yard and went straight for dan's throat.It was all I could do to get the dog off of Danny.I finally had to kick her..I had to yell at the owner to come and get his dog..didn't even ask if Danny was okay..so I'm not a very happy camper tonight..I really don't like arrogant young people...

One more day then it's september!! One more family picnic and I'mhome free till thanksgiving..I'm the only one that can cook and enjoys cooking so the family always comes here... I have 4 more shrubs to trim and that is done for the seasonI'm really looking forward to more time in my studio..I can't wait!!! Today is my best friends birthday but we'll celebrate on thusday..I'm making her dinner and decorating her a cake.. Danny is a little restles tonight so I think it's gonna be a long night.When she does this she wants me with her at all times//I wish I knew what goes on in that brain of hers!!!

August is almost over..I can't say I'm sorry to see it go..The heat has been unbearable this year..you have to stay inside with the air runnung and that isn't much fun..I'm ready for fall and my favorite holiday Halloween!! I love love love halloween and my studio is starting to look the season..I have fabric all over..I am actually making some headway with my bears..My plan is to have some ready for adoption the beginning of september.. Danny had a bad nose bleed yesterday..She's back on antibiotics..nothing bad today..so I hope it is over for now!!

It is so hot here in Ohio..I am not a hot weather person..I love snow..I guess it is the feeling of winter that I love also..Being all snug and safe in your home with the ones you love..And I love Christmas..I wish people could keep that loving giving feeling all year long.. I did finally get some bears cut out!!!Hopefully after the fourth I can get back into my studio and start creating again..Breaking my leg sure put me far behind in everything I wanted to do this year... Danny is feeling better..she had a bad nose bleed when we were grooming her..but nothing since then..so hopefully that is over for now..here a pics of her after she came home..

Well..went to the surgeon yesterday!! My leg is finally healing..I actually does feel better..I think I;m finally on the mend..Hopefully next week I can start working on my bears again..I have really missed sewing..I had ordered lots of new mohair and have really been itching to use it..maybe next week when Hubs goes back to work...Danny is feeling better also..so maybe all of the bad luck is gone..I was really starting to get stressed out wondering what was gonna happen next..My brother Tommy went to the doctor Tuesday and fell in the office and broke his knee just like I did..had to be rushed to the hospital..nice big lump on his head..kept him for 2 days..sent him home in a brace just like they did me!!!

Took danny and got her clipped on saturday..Here's pics of her before and after shots..She just looks so fragile and small when her hair is cut!!!

Went and got my exray and went to the surgeon yesterday..No surgery for now..am allowed to start exercising my leg also..I'm so excited!!!

Well had my cat scan..my leg is fractured..I have been hobbling around on a fractured leg for 2 months..no wonder it hurt!! Put me in a brace and have to go back beginning of may for another xray..the brace cost 800.00 dollars..it had better heal my leg for that price..how rediculous!!!

Well I have to have a cat scan next week..I have a feeling I'm going to have to have surgery on my knee..I'm past the point of trying to say that it isn't that bad..It hurts like hell and I'm tired of the pain!!!

Went to the hospital and got my knee xrayed..they bent it in horrible positions and it hurt!!! So now I wait to see what the doctor has to say about it...

Well I went to the doctor yesterday and I really like him..so tomorrow I have to go and get an xray of my knee and then they'll do an MRI ...so we'll see..alls I know is that it still hurts like hell!!!

Well another crappy day ...my doctor that I have gone to for the past 35 years has died.I am completely numb..I loved him so much..my leg isn't getting any better and now have to go to one of the other doctors in his group..I am not happy about this..Dr. Burns was a wonderful doctor and no one will ever come close to being the doctor he was..so I go on monday..we'll see what happens..."The world will never be the same without you Dr Robert Burns..I loved you so much"

Well 2011 hasn't been very good so far.I fell down my basement steps and really messed my knee up.Thankfully I didn't break anything.My studio is down stairs so I haven't been able to get down there to work on any bears.I took two classes from the Ebearz online workshops. and my mind is just full of new designs but that shot that in the butt. I couldn't walk danny either so she has been rather upset with me The good news is that I am feeling much better and am finally able to walk again!! I have to wear a brace for now but I can go up and down the steps too!! So tomorrow it is back to making bears!!! My brother Tommy was in the hospital also for a few days.They thought he had another stroke but they came to the conclution that it was a seizure.So they adjusted his meds and let him come home.Thankfully that is all it was. I hope that this is it for awhile.I have had enough of for awhile. So keep an eye out cause I should have a new bear here pretty soon!!!

Well we are in Febuary already.Our weather here has been horrible.It just seems like it'll never quit snowing.I have been taking classes from Ebearz online and am leaning a lot of new tricks.I will have a few new designs ready by the end of the month.I'm finally getting excited about bear making again. Danny has been loving this weather.We walk 2 times a day no matter what the temp is.Last week we walked in 13 degree weather and she just loved it.
