Growing Up So Quickly

Yesterday our 2nd grader's class put on a musical for all the parents it was so adorable had to share:)
The girls are getting over viruses and ear infections the weather has been strange.
I cannot knit still to painful and awkward so just enjoy time with my family.
On the health situation for me we are having to make changes rapidly.
I started chemo meds last week but the pills gave me mouth sores so their going to teach us how to do injections since my hands and wrists are really bad hubby will be doing them for me once a week we are hoping it will help me get more mobility back and less pain.
If we can slow down or supress my immune systems attack on my joints then I can be more active but it takes time and finding the right medicine to achieve this and so we hope this medicine will be a good fit.
Hoping everyone is well and missing you all.

Living With Grace:)

My friend Grace has taught me this she has her struggles but is always there sending you her love and encouragement and my girls call her grandma Grace:)
They love to send her pictures they draw and their favorite dolls are ones she has knit them.
Alora cannot sleep without her bunny which was the first knitted stufftie that Grace sent her.
 I need to have my hubby take a picture of all of the toys she has lovingly knit them over the years and she has sent me care packages threw every difficult health issue I have faced with shawls and scarfs to wrap me up in a hug from her & Tom her loving hubby and Masterblocker:)
I have been recently diagnosed with chronic psoriatic arthritis and find out tomorrow what medicine the Rheumytologist wants to try and he will tell us how things will change for us what to exspect.
 Grace sent me Charlotte my own Monster to hug and sent the girls phyllis and charity.
Letting me know we will fight this one together too.
 I want her to know how much it comforts us:)
My hubby has taken over as much as he can he cooks and cleans and cares for us and the girls are learning to be more independant.
We just got my Diagnosis a week ago so we haven't had time to tell all our family or our friends

but will take it day by day:)((((Hugs)))Darcy

G is For Grandma:)

I was so tickled and have some knitting to do for my little grandson:)
My hubby is gone on a tdy for 6 weeks already been gone a week we sent him this picture of Myself and Alora & Athena to cheer him up.

I'm hoping the next 5 weeks goes by quickly as my Birthday is October 25th and I want a date with hubby:)

Constantinople The Owl:)

Constantinople, has the owl constellation on his tummy and inside it too!
There are some gold bubbles that can be seen through his window-like front.
Georgie made C out of Triton, a reduction glass from Double Helix, and it has turned shades of blue as well as breaking into iridescent streaky cream striations (let's call them space clouds) . His ears are Mystic Grey, a translucent grey glass and his eyes are wonderful multi-hued nebulae.
I won this gorgeous blown glass owl from a blog giveaway at The Glass Owl November 22 2009.
I finally picked out my beads and accessories and made this wonderful and very special necklace:)
Thankyou Georgie for your generous gift it means so much to me:)
A little about the artist:
All beads are made by Georgie with enthusiasm and care in her home studio in Melbourne, Australia from Moretti/Effetre, Vetrofond, German and/or American glasses.

This was my entery comment that was picked:
My grandmother collected owls and when she passed away I got to pick out a white owl statue I keep it in my china hutch.
I found a story about owls:
The Owl was associated with the Greek goddess Pallas Athena. Soldiers have held the Owl as a special bird because it stays awake at night, which is the hardest time for soldiers to stay awake.
Some Native Americans see the Owl as the symbol of the soul.
I like this as my hubby is Airforce and our youngest daughter age 3 is Athena.
If I won the owl I would go to my local bead shop and make a necklace to wear:)
The owl reminds me of my grandmother she was always looking out for me ((((Hugs))))Darcy
