I paced myself and enjoyed crafting and was able to take my time and enjoy it. I think it is better to do it that way and will be doing that from now on. At least i don't want to stop creating.. it is my favorite thing to do! i was able to dabble in my wool felt this year which is something i have wanted to do for a long time now so was able to get somethings made with wool felt.. i buy mine at <a href="http://www.achildsdream.com/">http://www.achildsdream.com/</a> They have beautiful high quality wool felt. Of course, i didn't make everything on my list, but there is always next year! If you get a chance, stop over and browse around! I hope you enjoy seeing what i have made! So much fun! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday..it is coming so very fast! So wishing all my blog friends a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy Happy New Year! Love to all...

<br /><div>Hello Everyone, Sometimes i get frustrated because i start projects and then they never get finished and end up in a pile and I hate that. Does anyone else do that? Well i finally got something finished in the pile and hope to get more done as I have neglected my etsy shop so hopefully i will go slow and steady so I don't get too fatigued. Well i started out painting this cute little box.. handy for a craft room .. or for little miniatures etc .. and i added the little tiny pose doll but there was something lacking from it. I loved the bright colors and then i saw in my cupboard the package of vintage 1960s daisies i had and thought a perfect finish to the cute little cupboard. I hope you think so too..let me know what you think? i finally got it listed on my etsy shop! Yay!!!</div>

I was so upset. I am recovering from another heart infection but thinking I am on the mend now because I am feeling a bit better and hope to be back and visit my friends here in blogland! While I was resting, I was playing with my vintage chenille so for the first time ever.. I have made One of a Kind Springtime Dainty Dollies and friends which will be listed on my etsy shop today on April 19th at 5 pm EST. Hope you can visit! Now I am finally getting used to the new computer.. new photo program etc. which took me sometime but I am glad to be back online! I have missed everyone and hopefully will be visiting soon to pop in and say hello! Happy Spring!

I am still not up to par so i am pacing myself as i go but I have to say.. i forgot how relaxing crafting can be! And so much fun too! I just love Valentines Day and remember in school making out my Valentines to put in the box in the front of the class and patiently waiting to see who i got a Valentine from. The weather here as you can see is great time for crafting! Here is the list of gals I am making Handmade Valentines for:</div><br /><div>1. Elizabeth at <a href="http://bluebirdpapercrafts.blogspot.com/">http://bluebirdpapercrafts.blogspot.com/</a></div><br /><div>2.

Cheryl at <a href="http://cheryl-comfort.blogspot.com/">http://cheryl-comfort.blogspot.com/</a></div><br /><div>It is nice meeting new people by doing this swap and I hope they love the Valentines I am making for them. I can't wait to receive mine! It will be so much fun! And i can hang them in my craft room too...who doesn't enjoy looking at Valentines! I can look at them all year long!</div><br /><div>Whatever you are doing.. i hope you are having fun and enjoying yourself in this New Year!</div><br /><div>Hugs, Linda</div>Folksie Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05631660777561879089noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7665705131165883370.post-7354398979798503132010-12-31T11:31:00.000-08:002010-12-31T11:43:54.171-08:00Wishing All a Healthy Happy New Year!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihOyYpzWJIocFWUmwacDYC90zA1oKhcpJv3fVLROp1upNuNqlPoj_doNmnmmoZqlA9Be-Y6L-zJ5MWTp8daadovzTOdpcRhI1yhYeKO8nbp4UP2YQPFUoYmdQDw8uMWh7ovWEz4brndWk/s1600/ChristmasTree.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 291px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556934371680565090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihOyYpzWJIocFWUmwacDYC90zA1oKhcpJv3fVLROp1upNuNqlPoj_doNmnmmoZqlA9Be-Y6L-zJ5MWTp8daadovzTOdpcRhI1yhYeKO8nbp4UP2YQPFUoYmdQDw8uMWh7ovWEz4brndWk/s320/ChristmasTree.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Hello Everyone, A new year is upon us and I get excited in hopes of setting goals for myself and carrying them out.. first i want to wish everyone a wonderful Happy New Year.. may your year be everything you want it to be.. may you be surrounded by loved ones and always be happy! My health was not what i expected for 2010 therefore i wasn't able to blog much but hoping and wishing 2011 will be different and I am really going to try my best to blog more and craft more. I didn't craft at all this year.. my health just didn't let me.. it is frustrating at times but I am really going to try to change it. I think with hope you can accomplish anything! At least I HOPE so! So to start myself off right this new year, I have joined in on a very cute Valentine Swap.. to create Valentines and exchange them.. i think will be so much fun as i love Valentine's Day so much! Sweet Elizabeth of Bluebird's PaperCrafts has hosted this adorable Dolly Dingle Valentines swap and I look forward to getting back to crafting! I also want to get back to needle felting as well this year.. i miss it so much!! So many ideas in my head.. i have been writing them all down so i don't forget them. And most of all.. i want to blog more! I miss all of my friends here at blogland so much! So hopefully you will be getting visits from me this year!! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and I hope all the goals that you have set for the new year will come true! Happy 2011!!! Can you believe it?

I am doing a bit better due to alot of rest, and a new doctor who has been helping me quite a bit. I hope it lasts. I have decided to join a swap... i haven't played with paper in a while ..well i haven't really crafted at all this year yet so it should be fun and get my mind going which I need very badly. Missy at Crafty Carnival is having a very cute card making swap... you make 10 cards and send them to her and you will receive 10 cards back from different artists which will be great.. you can always use some cards in the house. I have missed all of you here and hopefully I will be here more often now and will get back to seeing what is going on in your blogs as well! I am truly looking forward to it! I will show my cards when i am finished..wish me luck!!

I was quite young at the time but I do remember some things that i seen while being at the World's Fair. The two things that had the biggest impact on me at the Fair was the "It's a Small World" display and ride and also the "Carousel of Progress" at the time being called "It's a great big beautiful tomorrow". We always went down to the city on weekends and would do window shopping which I still love doing and going to a steak house for a nice steak dinner. I remember wearing my little white go go boots that i loved so much. My Family was window shopping and I went by a beautiful store that had wonderful things in the window..but my eyes went immediately to a doll travel case.. they were used for pocketbooks at this time or to put your doll things in.. not a big doll case ..more like a small square train box. There was a case neatly on display with the vintage images I saw at the display - "It's a small world after all"!! Being dutch, I loved the little dutch girl on the front on it and never forgot it. My mom tugged my hands and since we were not a well off family, I knew better than to ask if i could purchase it. I dreamed about that case for sometime after it. Well, about a month ago, i was searching on ebay, just browsing for things, and what to my surprise did I come across but the little train case I saw that day in New York in the beautiful store window! I couldn't believe it.. it looked to be in great condition and it had a buy it now with an offer too.. i made an offer and it was mine! When I received that case in my hands .. i just couldn't believe I actually found this case after all those years! It's definitely a small world after all! At the time, the store was called AMSCO on Fifth Avenue and is now called SAKS OF FIFTH AVENUE. I paid $18 for the case... That made my year!!!!!! Hope you enjoyed!

Guess what i do on those days.. yep you got it.. craft!!</div><br /><div>Anyway, I am going to e-mail each one of you and thank you. because you mean alot to me for thinking of me and you don't know how much that helps when you are feeling ill. You all are my angels! I never expected to be on the other side of the spectrum but I ended up here somehow and I know I have to except it. The medicine the new doctor has given me is making me vomit so I am going to him in a couple of days to see if he can give me something to help. I am not keeping my food in and I'm hungry! I can't even keep a cup of tea or a chai in.. so it is frustrating. But I am hanging in there! I found out that what this disease did to my heart could kill you in two days according to my new doctor and I lasted eight months with it before they found it so that shows how tough i can be! I love each and everyone of you in blogland ... and I am sorry that I haven't been here much.. I am going to try to change that and blog more... I promise!</div><br /><div>I thought you would like to see me at my graduation in 1988.. that was a very happy day for me and I miss working very much! I can't thank you all enough for being there for me.. it has been a battle.. one I am not giving up on... and you being there for me..helps me fight even more!</div><br /><div>I love you all!

My husband's surgery went well and he is on his way to recovery and doing much better now but in the midst of it all.. I relasped and got sicker and developed this weird purple vein like rash on my upper left thigh. In the past the Lyme Disease affected my heart so I called the heart doctor and went to see him as I thought maybe the rash was related to my heart. He referred me to another specialist..a rheumotologist who knew what the rash was.. it is called levido and he in turn sent me for blood work and I had a long talk with him on what has gone on with my health since I was in my 30's. I went back to this doctor last week and took my bloodwork from a long time ago.. when I was in my 30's as I have all of my medical records. I have Lupus! In all this time, my Lyme doctor was focusing on my Lyme Disease and the Lupus was not detected and that is why I was not getting better. I am so thankful this rash showed up as it was a heaven sent rash. My medication has been changed and I hopefully will get better now.. my joints were so swollen ... he immediately put me on a low dose of steroid that has brought the inflammation down in my joints and put me on a anti-malarial drug to treat the Lupus. He said the Lupus caused my pericarditis in my heart as well. He thinks that when i got bit by that little tick that it stirred up the Lupus but I was only being treated for the Lyme and therefore I was not getting better. I hope this new treatment will help me to get back to myself a bit and back to blogging and back to the real world! I wanted to let my blogger friends what has been going on with me! Wish me luck!

I never expected it to be so rough..he couldn't sleep for the first week due to the trauma of the surgery. I am happy to say he is coming along now and I am able to finally catch up online a bit. I miss everyone and will be catching up on my favorite blogs this week. Also wanted to tell you.. I did get a chance to participate in an Easter Egg Swap which turned out to be a big swap led by Vivian Neroni! Everyone had to make two eggs made out of any material and sent to Vivian..and in turn you will recieve two eggs back.. which will be posted on everyone's blog on April 5th! It will be very exciting to see all the different eggs that everyone made! Hope you can come and visit and join in on the Easter Egg Hunt. Anyway, it's good to be back and hopefully I will be back to crafting and creating soon!</div><br /><div>Hugs, Folksie Linda</div>Folksie Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05631660777561879089noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7665705131165883370.post-27401258913083798082008-12-05T14:52:00.000-08:002008-12-05T15:02:25.484-08:00Scrappy Jessi's 2nd Annual Cookie Swap<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN8Ev8R10jYvBC1la6RYqVDuK5iWhFMg2e22hPJjl8-YThkvSyKpkdVmqXYZ55kZtJ8w1bn-7yBL2dloWO71b1Ha-JKk5H2CT3xDo50qjkwqiPKeIH4srjtjHSr5kaZTbcEItXC7UhrBo/s1600-h/3084837692_b28749f147.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276445195167904322" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 239px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN8Ev8R10jYvBC1la6RYqVDuK5iWhFMg2e22hPJjl8-YThkvSyKpkdVmqXYZ55kZtJ8w1bn-7yBL2dloWO71b1Ha-JKk5H2CT3xDo50qjkwqiPKeIH4srjtjHSr5kaZTbcEItXC7UhrBo/s320/3084837692_b28749f147.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hello Cookie Lovers!

I thought I would make some ornaments for the CSST Christmas In July Celebration at Etsy on July 25th!

Tasha Tudor.. an inspiration to all... she was an amazing woman as well as a fantastic children's book illustrator and all of her artwork was beautiful! She will be greatly missed!! I know you are with the angels Tasha... there will never be another one like you!! I loved her so much!! The picture is a card that Tasha illustrated with her creation : Dr. Cupid Corgi!<br /></div><div>I promise I will be catching up with my blogging because i miss chatting with all of my blogger friends as well as seeing all of their information and things that have been going on their lifes. I am back!! See you all soon! Hugs, Linda</div>Folksie Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05631660777561879089noreply@blogger.com5
