Hollywood Schoolhouse Show

I just set up for a fabulous spring show. I have my Etsy shop on vacation mode to do this Fantastic show. It is called Hollywood School House Spring Boutique and is located in Woodinville, WA. http://www.hollywoodschoolhouse.com/ Stop by if you are in the area. My Etsy shop will be back up on Sunday. The inventory may not be the same, actually I hope I have to take all new pictures, because I sold so much. lol.
I have a ton of inventory there. Four full- really full tables of jewelry of all kinds. It would blow your mind. The show has approx 50-60 vendors & they are all fabulous. Everything you can think of wood, paintings , photography, furniture, clothing, food, and much much more.

Check out some info regarding the show listed in the Seattle Times. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/mbase/cgi-bin/DisplayPage.pl?document_id=2009101547

Sunday Mariners Game

My family & I went to the Mariners Game. We had tickets for awhile now, in a box seat. I never have had such good seats, too bad they didn't win. My daughter got to bring one of her friends and they both had fun. Today was a kids day and they both got Ichiro jerseys - very cool. They wore Mariner hats and the new jerseys, they both had foam fingers and were so cute.
We had to park very far away so that we didn't have to pay much for parking, but it was quite a walk. Good thing the weather was nice.
I hope you all had a great Sunday.

Laid Off- What Do I Do Now ! ! !

I just got laid off of work yesterday. My work said they were eliminating my position. They wrote me a letter of recommendation and wished me luck. I was told it was not my fault and that they were sorry ( blah, blah, blah). Either way I am job less. I am the sole provider for my family, now what to do. I have contacted lots of people today including a headhunter & unemployment. This could get really bad. My husband has not been able to work for 5 years he has a rare non-cancerous ( as of yet) lymphoma and has surgery coming up, we don't have the date yet. I don't know if I can handle all of the stress. This economy is killing me, I have my jewelry and such in stores, but not that many any longer. Four stores closed last year, and two already this year. I need to find more of an outlet for my work.

What has this economy done to your life.

Baby Blanket

I am making a custom order Baby Blanket, I don't have them listed on my shop. I should eventually make some for my shop, but they sell pretty quick and take awhile to do. I crochet them with a cute Teddy Bear pattern - three rows of three teddy beads and I add a scalloped edging. I also do need to get ready for a show in April. When I was in the hospital I missed my first show of the year, so I need to do good to make up for the loss of sales. Hopefully this next show will be fabulous.

Here are some pictures of one my finished blanket.

Best wishes to all.
Thanks

Still Recovering from Bronchitis & Asthma

I was in and out of Urgent care for a week, went to the doctor's many times & after it was all said and done I ended up on 14 different medications. It didn't work good enough or fast enough, I was then admitted to the hospital for 7 days on Oxygen and all of my medication and more. I have bad veins, they had a hard time getting my IV in and I still have bruises from all of the misses. Every 2-days my IV's would go bad & they would have to re-do the IV again. Which meant many more misses & problems. The hospital sucked, I hated it.
I have a nebulizer at home and was using it 3 to 4 times a day before I was admitted due to the Bronchitis, and I am still using it every day since I am still recovering. I am still on alot of medication, but I had to go back to work. Even though I am only getting 2 - 4 hours of sleep a night, due to all of the medication, I just lay in bed wanting desperately to sleep, but not able to. I have a referral to a pulmonary specialist and should be seeing one soon to get me down off of some of this medication. Oh did I mention I tore muscles and a ligament across the upper part of my back / across my lungs from all of the many asthma attacks. My asthma reasonably good for so long, this thru me.

I have not been hospitalized for my asthma since 1994., even though I do have times every year when I am sick that I have to be put on extra medication and sometimes use my nebulizer.
