Absolutely!!  Folllowing your creative side is so important,especially during these stressful times!  I will try again to find out what the problem is and why your p/m's aren't coming through.

Ah,my long haired friend!  Just fine.  Busy sewing and crocheting away!!  Finished 2 tunics on the sewing machine!  Will post pics soon.  Am working on a crocheted shawl and the wheels are turning as to what else is up my sleeve!  Have fun in St. Louis!

That's ok! When you do get to those projects,enjoy!

Hi, Curlgirl, apartment living always has problems.  I remember vividly.  I wish you lots of luck and hope you find a top floor with elevator.

Thanks,Ladies!   All is going well.  Since C is working today;I went to the R/E place to meet with the owner of the house.  She came in from Jersey and is very nice.  I signed the lease and we're moving!!!!  Thank God!!!  Not only is there more room, we can do whatever it takes to make it safe for me!!!
So along with the railings outside to get in, we can put safety bars in the bathroom.celing fans,etc. 
The fun begins with the packing and getting rid of stuff!!  Atleast we can now eliminate the storage facility.  That's extra money we can use.
So off I go with idea planning,paint color schemes and everything else that goes with moving!!

Thanks!!  I'm not pro-reting either.  My parents have always owned,even after they were divorsed my mother bought her own house here.  When I began working in H.S. I was able to rent the apt. above her.  She luckily bought a 2 family house so I learned how to be more independent,but still have family very close by!!!
So C is over there as I type to tape,prime and then paint.  He's hoping to have all of this done by Sunday. 
I've begun packing,getting clothes ready for the Good Will and trying to stay relaxed through it all!!   I will not e looking back when I'm gone!!!!
Mom came in from S.C. yesterday so I was at Grandma's yesterday evening.  She really looks happy and I'm glad she's found a better quality of life.  Hopefully like mother,like daughter!  My fingers are crossed!!
I sewed a little pillow for the cat yesterday morning because she's been sleeping at the top of the futon and C thought it would be nice to have a little pillow for her.  So off I went to sew one up!  She is currently sleeping with it under her head!!  Glad she likes it!
I'm off to clear out the microwave cart and make dinner.  I might even have time to finish crocheting the beret I started 2 days ago.  I've done 3 already since last week and either they will be part of my stash for Christmas gifts or I'll put them up for sale on Etsy in my shop.
Later!!
