Hello my dear friends,
the only way I can describe the last week is draining and terribly heartbreaking. I am so grateful that my aunt had come from Vancouver to be here with me. Decisions had to be made and now the time has come to accept these decisions. My mom is OK and comfortable at this moment in time. We will have to wait and see what the future will bring and that is all I can really say.
One thing I hope I have learnt from this past week is to be happy with what you have in your life and enjoy it and don't ever take anything for granted! Also don't be envious of things you don't have because in a flash everything could change with no return. I knew this all along but just now it has been brought back to my mind very strongly.Especially show people that you care about them. Always say " I love you" to somebody you care about. A smile and a kind word is like sunshine on a early summer morning ~ warm and beautiful.
I am still working on a few projects and I am hoping to be able to share them with you soon but til then I would like to wish you a happy Thanksgiving ~ have a wonderful weekend !!
I hope you are well and life is treating you kind.
Have a peaceful and creative day,
Karen B.

Thank You
Hello my dear friends,
today I can finally sit down, only for a short time though, and take a deep breath and thank all of you for all your kind words, thoughts and prayers. You will never know how much they have meant to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Life right now is still a huge rollercoaster ride and I am hoping some time soon it will slow down for me and my family.
I would also like to update you on the happenings in my life right now.
Unfortunatly my mother was diagnosed with advanced cancer to her tongue last week and we are trying to work on what is the best treatment for her. She has also got dimentia now, so it makes things even harder but hopefully what we decide will be the right thing. Right now she isn't in too much pain and is still in the hospital. She looks very good just very frail and delicate.
Some good news I received from another doctor was that my younger daughter Caylagh doesn't have to have surgery to her left hand even though she has torn her ligament on her little finger. No sports for 6 weeks and no piano or flute for 4 weeks but I am so happy about her not having to have an operation - it's one thing I don'y have to worry or stress over.
And last but not least ...
... the thorn in my side...
... our outdoor project!!
A project that was meant to take about 3 week is now taking over 7 weeks and is causing most of the stress in my life believe it or not. It's crazy really but that's how it is. I am so looking forward when everything is done and I can start my part of the work finally and hopefully with everything else happening I will be able to finish aswell before the first snow falls.
I am so blessed to have people like all of you lovely bloggers in my life.
I hope you are all well and life is treating you kind.

Oh What A Day!!
Hello my dear friends,
you know that some days are ones you would rather not have? Well today was one of them for me.
Where should I start?
My outdoor project is still dragging on and I couldn't believe the poor work that was done today. So bad that I am going to see the owner of the company tomorrow about it.
My mother's health is up and down everyday ~ today there was a little set-back again ~ she had to go back onto oxygen again. We still don't know what was and/or is wrong with her and ...
... my younger daughter Caylagh had an accident in gym this morning that ended in the ER for 2 hours and with a fractured little finger that might require surgery!!!
So, in a nutshell my day has been one I didn't really need!! (I must have a secret wish of going grey fast I think!?)
On a better note... I did manage to get some creating done last night with one of my witch hats. I am not done yet but so far I like what I see (some lace, pearls, crystals and a bit more). I am not sure when I will be able to finish it or even start the second one but as soon as I am done I will share them with you.
I hope you are all well and looking after yourselves!

I Need Your Prayers
Hello my dear friends,
just as you think things are going OK something happens that knocks you sideways. I need your prayers today for my mum. Three days ago I went to see her and she was feeling very unwell. She is now in the hospital and something is really not right with her so it will help hopefully if you say a little word for her in your prayers.
Thank you and I hope you are all well.
