Beaded Flowerbed, Plants, and Coffee

Image
 Last yr at this time I started to weed through craft stuff to do away with.  I was not making jewelry anymore so I sold and gave away several containers of beads. Now I wished I had not done that. I have been wanting to make one of these, so I bought some beads and I had necklaces that I would not wear anymore so  I took some of them apart. This is a metal whisk, I took wire cutters to it to open the loops. Strung beads, curled the end of the wire on  the whisk around when I  was finished beading and  stuck it in the garden. Just fun and some extra color. Speaking of color... My three brand new  Hydrangea bushes are  doing great! They are pink. Julie gave me a chive plant. Has a purple flower. Did you know you can eat the  flower? I did not but I tried it and it has the best onion taste... only it took me forever to get the taste out of my mouth. I bet they are amazing cooked up in something. I used toothpaste, mints and gum and could not ge...

Disgusted, Shopping, Parking Lot, and Wreath

Image
 Somedays I just do not have what it takes... to deal with people.  The pic above is my look when dealing with the insurance company. I had an eye doc apt. Monday,  but before going I get a call from the docs office, while trying to confirm I had this eye insurance, my account was flagged that I had already had an exam this yr.  I had to call the insurance company, waiting 30 minutes, with a recording every few seconds about how important I am to them, and my call matters but I basically have to wait till they get to me.  FINALLY!!  I explained what was going on, then I had to explain that I had not had my eyes examined this and they must have posted someone else info to my account.  Then I had to wait another 15 minutes till the lady went to talk with someone about getting that off my account.  DISGUSTED. A few days before  I went to Wally World to  do some grocery shopping. It had been weeks. OH MY GOSH... I am going to have to stop...

Sleep Apnea, CPAP Machine and CPAP Residual

Image
CPAP machine, just like I use. It adjust itself to give your body the correct amount of air that is needed. Used for people with sleep apnea. Sleep Apnea - A potentially  serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts.  Residual EDS - typically defined as daytime sleepiness that impairs functioning despite CPAP therapy. I know I have been really open with my health on here, I do that mostly to allow folks that might have issues, new to things that I suffer can ask me questions.  Anyway, back in  2005 I was having a big issue with being sleepy during the day. It got so bad that I  moved like the walking dead. I knew there was a big issue when I started dozing at red lights.  I went through 2 sleep studies. In a seven hour sleep study I  slept, completely for less then 3 hours. I stopped breathing or had issues with breathing 400 and some  odd times. When I stopped breathing the longest period was 33 seconds.  Oxygen was ...

Yard Sale Purchases

Image
  One of my ten buck purchases. A round coffee table. I  have been looking for a round coffee table for a couple  of months. Amber is needing one and I knew this was not her style but I knew I could fix that.  The clock might or might not run, the glass comes off. I however plan on  putting wood over the top  of the table.  The taller piece was also ten bucks. And yes....this piece was ten bucks also. All pieces need a little love, but I have to decide now what I want to do  with them. Redo them,  and keep, or redo and sale. I actually like both of the  shelving unit pieces... We will see... Pam

Yard Sale

 Oh my, oh my....I am tired. I actually have a wedding of Sunday. That will finish up my weekend. An Alien !!!!! Haha....Lisa had this piece of glass she moved out for the  yard sale, she left her image on the glass. Where the head is, is her belly. A neck and the body is where her legs moved back and  forth!! haha I made about 80 bucks... I spent 40! But our sign was cute. This is Lisa. Julie's cousin. haha....ME. Julie's brother with some knock out deals! Lisa recently purchased this house she lives in. Dude she bought from had this half of a plane glued to the wall and the  wall painted like the plane flew into it. Oh, let me state, this is in the garage! Saw this on FB. Was not aware of it. ⇊⇊⇊⇊⇊⇊⇊⇊⇊⇊⇊⇊⇊⇊⇊ Never heard that, pretty  awesome.  So I mentioned that I bought about 40 bucks of stuff. I paid Julie 5 bucks for  a dozen of fresh yard eggs  for my brother. 5 bucks to Lisa  for a cat toy.  We have a friend that lives a  fe...

Wedding Frame and Yard Sale Frame

Image
When I photograph weddings at the venue I have been  relaying on the natural elements and the cars for props. But I decided it was time to  up my game. I shared the  banner I made with you a  week or so ago. I ordered a frame that photographers use for backdrops. Course I am not a big fan of color backdrops I do  prefer the natural elements of the outdoors. Scrolling through Pinterest I  found a cool backdrop and that is when I decided  to order the frame. Then it was time to get busy and make something like I saw. I built this wooden frame, all from scrapes.  I wanted to attach flowers to it but how? That is when  a pool noodle came to mind. A pool noodle has a hole through the center of it that I thought would work for what I needed. Cut the size I wanted, then I  cut down one side to the hole which allowed the noodle to  be opened up. I then slide it over the wood. My mom had a flower arrangement that I knew would work, and since...
