Previous blog

Simply Sage
was my previous blog
and
it followed me through a lot of life, both good and bad.
I am trying to get going on my jewelry making again and more arts and crafts.
I still do things for swaps, however I am usually in such a hurry to mail that I don't get a picture first!
This week I am starting blogging again.
My goal is at least once a week...with photos!

Scratch

My buddy Scratch had cancer in his leg and hip. It was moving and growing fast and we were afraid we'd lose him.
The vet took his leg and part of his hip before it could reach the spine.
He's been such a trooper. He hops pretty well now and even though he loses his balance at times and falls over, I think he'll be fine.
He was an all out outdoor boy before surgery and now, well, he likes to spend most of his time inside on his pillow.
He cracks me up the way he uses his pillow.

This pic is right after surgery. He now has all the staples out and his fur has grown back beautifully.

We love our pets...all four cats. They are one thing that makes my life happy.
What makes you happy?

The first

Well hello world.
I haven't blogged in ages for many reasons, but mostly because I felt I had nothing to share...at all. This is my fourth blog and I am pleased with it finally. My most used blog was Simply Sage and it went through so much of my life with me. Now I am in the mood to make arts and crafts, so there's the reason for the new blog name.
I have a new job with Tops Malibu.
I work in a warehouse crafting, tying bows, gluing decorations onto things...basically working on gifts. I adore the job so much.
I'm participating in a few swaps right now and when I get some pics, I'll post them.
:)

My new blog

I feel that it is time for a fresh start at blogging.
This is just the beginning.

New Blog

I'm gonna make a new blog for a fresh start.
Now with my father-in-law dying on April 24th, I think I need a change.
Now off to figure out how to start the new one.
I'll be back.

Our buddy the Beaver

We have a beaver living on the property.
He seems determined to take a tree down.
That is what they do.
Look at the teeth marks on there.
He swims around along the creek and stops in for a snack.

Why?

Headed out this morning and noticed two Sheriff's vehicles next door. Just thought the owner might have evicted his tenants like he had talked about one day.
Came home this evening to find out that the tenants heard the owners dog barking in the barn, which is where he and his dog where lived They talked to another neighbor and decided to break a window to get to her. When they did, they discovered the owner, my neighbor, had hung himself.
I am in shock...don't know how I feel really. He was a sweet man who was just trying to get along in life.
I'll miss him.

My art sold

Love Bus

I donated two 6x6 pieces to Oregon Crafted's fundraiser for their new studio in town. They have others in Oregon, this is in Eugene, anyway, I went in to look at all the donated pieces and found out that mine sold already!
So cool and fun.
