The whole month of September we have had family and friends visiting, it was really nice to hang out with people I love. Had a few guy's from our old church come up and do some fishing with my husband than our good friend James came out from Pheonix, Arizona. And to top it off our daughter and granddaughter came out for a week. What a blessing!
So it is time to get back to work. Working on my hand warmers and getting ready to post some new stuff into my shop. This is a busy season for me, I already have people buying for Christmas. I have so much to do I am feeling overwhelmed. I want to make some sugar scrubs and bath salts, arm warmers and hoping to make some Christmas decorations. But I can only do so much, so lets see how much I can get done.
I went way off my nutrisystem plan while our visitors were here but to my surprise I gained no weight at all. So I am back in the gym now and continuing on in reaching my goal weight. It sure was fun eating pizza, burgers, pie, ice cream, mexican food which I haven't had in a year or so! It did make me feel bad though...back to the veggies.
Just a short note today, busy,busy,busy....gotta get back to work.

New Adventure
My day's have been long and full of hard work. One of my shops best selling item are my rice heating pads. While my husband was away in New York it was the perfect time for me to get busy in building up my supply of heating pads and hand warmers for the Christmas season. I cut out and almost have the heating pads all sewn together, about 40 of them! This week I will be finishing those up and starting on hand warmers. It is a lot of work because in between all of that I have advertising to do a long with photo shoots and listing. But I am very happy I got to the point where I am at as of now. A work in progress!
Just a few weeks ago I became a doterra wellness advocate! I am so happy to be doing this because I really believe in the many uses of these oils. Please visit my website to see these amazing products.
my doterra website
I have received my doterra magazines and if you would like one please private message me your name and mailing address and will ship one to you for free. Note - your address will be used for the purpose of mailing this magazine and nothing else thereafter.
Soon to be sold in my Etsy shop will be a lavender and lemon bath salts made from 100% pure dead sea salts form Israel and doterra oils a long with a grapefruit and orange sugar scrub made with organic sugar and doterra oils. Visit my Etsy shop to see other great gift ideas. my etsy shop link
My husband is on his way back from his long trip. But there has been a halt...his plane broke down in LA so they had to cancel his flight home. So he is stuck in LA, oh and they lost his luggage but just found out that they did find it after all. He spent last night in a hotel paid for by the airlines a long with vouchers for food. Let's see if he makes it home tonight! But anyway...it was all for seeing his grandson Sebastian for the first time, well worth it all for sure.
Fall is in the air already. Woke up the other morning to find that the birdbath had froze over night. My favorite season! Time to get back to work, God bless you all and have a wonderful happy day.

Conclusion
So it's been awhile since my last post and this one will be quick. I havd come to the conclusion that I am not a good blogger. That being said I will cintinue to blog when I can. Anyway..a lot has been going on, way to much to talk about, so I will just comment on whats important.
My mother hasn't had to have a chemo treatment in several months however she seems to be getting weak. Please pray for her.
As you can see my granddaughter Celeste is growing rapidly and boy is she beautiful, love her so much. She fell asleep on me last night.
Summer up in the Sierras has been beautiful. The gardens are bloomimg with flowers and the mountains are vibrant with color this year due to the rain this spring. We have recently had a large black bear comming around the neighborhood every evening. He has been getting into garages and steeling dog food. Haven't seen him in a few nights, hope he is gone. Took these beautiful pictures last week, morning sunrise and evening sunset.
My shops been doing pretty good, I have been selling just about every week. Making some vintage inspired aprons and some shawls and scarves. Next week I will be stocking up on my hand warmers and heat pads for Christmas, those are my best sellers. My shops link just in case you would like to see some of my stuff...oh and I have added vintage finds to my shop as well. https://eagerhandsgiftshop.etsy.com
Hope you all have a great weekend. And I promise I will try to post more often.

Lonely Day's
I finished up those birdhouses...no big deal, just added some paint for color. These are not for decorative purposes anyway, they will be used by the House Wrens and hummimgbirds.
I made these very cute baby slippers for my granddaughter Celeste. These are not easy to make...but I think they turned out nice.
Ya know it is just one of those day's when my joy is hard to find. I am surrounded by family and glad to be here with my mom on Mother's Day weekend. But there is a sense of yearning in my heart for the presence of strayed loved ones. So much disarray going on in my life that at times it becomes hard to focus. But through past experiences I have learned to turn my focus on whats important and trust in Gods word. He says "all things work together for the good." At this moment I may not feel like anything good can come out of ugly stuff but I will keep my eyes on Jesus and have faith in what He says.....it's all I have right now and He has never failed me in the past and promises never to leave me. Feeling lonely in a crowd of people, but finding hope in His word.
For all you mother's out there....hoping and praying that you have a blessed weekend. This one is for you!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Living By Grace One Day At A Time
The past few days have been a little ugly and what I mean by that is I have been sick with a stomach virus with a lot of vomiting and pain. I finally ended up in the emergency room yesterday morning for dehydration. It took 4 bags to hydrate me. Feeling a little better today. Hopefully tomorrow I will be fine to go down to Bishop to the swapmeet and than grocery shopping. I love swapmeets! Buying other peoples junk is so much fun.
So I finally was able to take pictures of some items that I need to list into my shop. Now I just have to list them, which is very time consuming. Hopefully next week I will be able to get that done. Worked on some bird houses to put into my gardens...like I need more! I got them spray painted now I just have to sand them down a little bit to give them that rustic look and add a few embellishments. I will post a picture when I am done with them. The House Wrens really love to use these little houses. Still working on some more market bags. My husband suggested I make some slightly bigger and crossbody style. I thought this was great idea. Making one in red, white, and blue for 4th of July. Great for an outing or bar b que! I have been posting some great recipes on my facebook page so please check it out. Facebook Page Link Also don't forget that mother's day is May 10 and it is not to late to place an order in my shop. I have some great gifts at affordable prices. Check out my shop. Shop Link Oh and I found this lovely yarn at a cute quilting shop in town...can't wait to make something with it.
My Nutrisystem this week went by the wayside being sick and all. But I have lost a total of 13 pounds and very happy with that. Last week I worked out a few times and hit the weights. I also tried a balancing act on rollerblades!
My illness has kept me in bed and I have been watching many NetflIx movies on my tablet. But I have also had much time to think and ponder on my thoughts. Have you ever been through an experience where you know you have done the right thing to help someone, but in there eyes you have done them wrong, so in return they just throw you aside like a piece of trash? Very hurtful isn't it? There are gonna be times when we see a loved one that is heading in a direction that will be distructive to themselves and to others. In these times we must not have judgment on them but decernment, and wisdom to know when and if we must interceed. And a time may come when you are called to put your foot down and say "enough is enough." I believe it takes a person with great love to do this. It's there love for the other person that gives them the courage to do what needs to be done. And it's that same love that is willing to suffer the consequences of there good intentions for this loved one, knowing that in there eyes they will be hated upon and thrown aside. We must pray and pray hard, trust in the Lord with faith and patience. Live each day one day at a time, trusting that by His grace we will survive, and that our loved ones will turn from there hurtful ways.
I will end this blog with a beautiful photo, shot by me, just for a bit of peace.

Oh My Soul
Many days have passed and many blessings and trials since my last post. My Nutrisystem diet is going very well. My last weigh in was last Wednesday and the scale was showing I had lost 10.4 pounds so far. Next weigh in is tomorrw. So excited!
I haven'nt done much work for the shop however I did get a few things made to list. Finally got that kaftan finished and I also made a market bag. Gonna make a few market bags in different colors. The first one I made which was purple I kept for myself. I really like these bags, good for all sorts of things. Next week hopefully I can get busy with taking some pictures of some little items I found on Ebay to re-sell.
This is one of the market bags that will soon be listed into my shop. Pretty cute!
So your probably wondering why I haven't been working much. First of all when springtime comes around there is always a lot of work to be done outside. Yard clean up from winter, getting the flower gardens seeded, turning on the sprinklers and making sure they are all working correctly. We had to repair a broken pipe this time. Had to put out all the patio furniture and yard decor as well. We are having company for the weekend so I had to get the barbque all cleaned up. It is opening season for fishing this weekend so we will be busy. Anyway this is all a blessing! On April 10th I went to visit family and on my drive down I received a call from my mothers caregiver that my mom had just been taken to the hospital. She passed out from receiving to much and to strong of chemo medication. She was in the hospital for 3 days. She is better now and she was well enough to go to an Angels game last night! In this picture she is pointing to a brick with her name in it. It is so good to see her happy. She had been waiting for this days for months.

I also got to spend time with my daughter and granddaughter which is always a blessing. My little Celeste is getting so big already. She is 4 months old now. Me and my oldest son Daniel along with Miranda, Celeste and my nephew Michael met up In Temecula for lunch. I don't see my son much so that was a really good day.
Oh and I got my hair trimmed and straightened....what do you think? I went out and bought a hair straightener, don't know if I will ever use it though!
So all these blessings and many more not mentioned and even though I am thankful my soul feels like it is afloat a lonely sea. My heart is in anguish and filled with sorrow. I have once again been forsaken by a loved one. No story to tell, no words to describe, just endless tears and waves of emotions that are uncontrollable. My God has prepared me for this time in teaching me and strengthening me through past trials. The dark has tried to seep in but I will stay stregnthened by my Lord. My eyes have seen horrible acts, my ears have heard verbal attacks and lies, my hands, my mind and mouth became unclean.....oh my soul. Faith is what I need, faith that God will heal and restore.
Mathew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.

My Goal Outfit
It doesn't look like much, but I really love this washed denim dress. I bought it a while back and have not been able to fit into it. It will hang in my closet as you see it here and hopefully someday soon I will wear it.
New Beginning
OK so this is my 3rd try! I have written this post 3 times...Don't even ask me what happened.
So much has happened this week that I don't know where to start. Well I finished my hats and it was fun making them. The hat giveaway on my Facebook page did not go so well. I had to cancel it due to lack of participation. That was a bummer! I was going to make some sleep masks and as I was going through my fabric I realized that I did not have the right king of material. So I went to Fabric.com and ordered some satin fabric. It will take a week before my order is here so until than I think I will work on some eyeglass sleeves which are one of my best sellers as well as my rice heat pads. Oh and I need to take some pictures and list some items into my shop. I just love my job!
I have made a life changing decision this week that I feel will give me a new beginning. After trying for so long to lose weight I have decided to join Nutrisystem. I am in my third day and I feel yucky. My food intake is very small for this first week. 3 meals and 2 protein shakes a day for now than next week I can add in more food. My energy level is way down for lack of food so I have done much of nothing today. (Trying to blog...I think I have it memorized now) But anyway I am really excited and I have lost 3 lbs already! I want to be healthy and have the strength and energy to play with and enjoy my two baby grandchildren.
Thinking of my mama today as I do everyday. She has been battling lung cancer for many years now and staying strong. 5 years ago she was diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer which was a blow to the family because she has never smoked. She had the lower lobe of her left lung removed, went through a year of chemo than a few months of radiation. Cat scan came out clean, no sign of cancer. 2 years later she got sick, went to the Dr and was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. She has been doing chemo ever since. I hate cancer! So many I know that has or has had cancer and many that are here with us no longer because of cancer. I am a cancer survivor myself. I had a rare intestinal cancer that was extracted with surgery. Thank God I did not have to go through any chemo or radiation . I don't think I would have handled it as well as my mother has. By the way...my mother makes crochet afghans. It helps to keep her mind and hands busy, and helps her to relax. She sells them in my shop and for everyone of her afghans that sell I personally give a dollar amount donation to City Of Hope. That is where she gets her care, it is an excellent place. If you would like to see her work just go to my shop and look under "mama's corner. My Shops Link Out of all this my mother has made a choice. She has accepted Jesus! I am so happy that she now leans on His Word and His love for strength.

Busy, Busy, Busy!
Several day's have passed since my last post. Just been really busy with my shop. I just introduced a new section into my shop called "My Little Finds." It consists of a selection of vintage item's hand picked by me. I love to go pickin and Ebay has some good finds as well. So that was a lot of work. I took over 300 pictures, cropped them all and than posted all of the items into my shop. It took me a few day's. I am also working on a Kaftan that I will be finishing up here in a couple of day's. Today I worked on my shabby tea towel hats. Made my first one, the first one is always my trial one, so it didn't come out so perfect. I will be giving it away in a drawing! So if your interested in entering the drawing just go my my facebook page and type in your name in the comment section of the post..you'll see it. I will draw a name in a few day's and announce the winner on my facebook page. My Business Facebook Page Oh and I bought a new sewing machine on Amazon.com. I have not tried it yet, need time to watch the instructional dvd. It embroiders!!!
Anyway, today me and hubby walked around my favorite lake for our morning exercise. It was so beautiful! Took some pictures to.

My Favorite Rock
Missed church today...ya I got up at my usual time (early) started getting ready and very excited about hearing a good teaching and engaging in some fellowship. When my husband hollers form the other room "hey babe, what time is it?' My response "it's 9:15" to which he responded "my computer says 10:15!" Service starts at 10:30.....our drive to church is 45 minutes.......
We ended up eating breakfast at one of our favorite places, which by the way was sooo yummy. I had eggs benedict with no sauce and a fruit bowl. From there we went onto Twin Lakes and took some pictures and just enjoyed the fresh air. It was a beautiful day, the sun was out and the ice covered lake glistened like diamonds. On our drive back home I looked over to my favorite mountain point and once again it's brilliance and majesty struck my heart, taking me into deep thought. I asked my husband to take me to my favorite place, so he continued to drive up the winding road. I must tell you when you go around that last corner and see the view, wow, it is amazing! I can never get tired of it, each time it's like a new experience, and each season has it's own glory. Anyway there is one particular mountain that I am speaking of here. It's called Mt. Morrison. It's elevation is 12,276 feet and it is formed from Metamorphic rock, which makes up the earths crust. It is said to be at a Paleozoic age, which means (ancient life) being anywhere from 541 to 252.17 million years old. It is one old big rock! I have been coming up to this place since I was age 5. My parents would take us camping here and all over this area, so I have a real love for this place, lot's of memories. Now that I am older and I get to wake up every morning to God's beauty I have learned to really respect nature and have a great desire to be in it. But this rock........it's majesty takes me into deep thought. My thoughts wander onto my God and what a mighty, strong, rock He is. He is ageless and timeless and He is my foundation. I stand on this rock and He upholds me...He "is" my foundation.
Well into the evening we go and it is not the least bit dark. It will take awhile to get used to this time change. Enjoying this great day and now....back to other important stuff.

Blessings And Confession
Welcome to my office. I am so blessed to be living in such a beautiful place. My job working at home is the best. Yesterday I took 300 photos of items that I will be listing into my shop, most of them outside. Ya it was a lot of work. But I took my little wifi sound box out with me and played classical music while I did the shoot. It was so peaceful as I watched the little birds fluttering around me and chirping along to the music. The weeping willow that I was shaded under has no leaves right now, but I see the little leaf buds springing up on the branches. Soon it will be full of small green leaves and the branches will be flowing and draping down like a big beautiful umbrella. I love this tree!
Today as I drove into town to drop of my orders at the post office I was amazed at the beautiful snow glistened mountains. Such beauty. Before you know the snow will melt and the rivers will be flowing strong. Can't wait for hiking season. Actually I was thinking about putting my snow boots on and taking a walk around my favorite lake. It is really peaceful around the back side with the hallway of aspen trees guiding you on a boardwalk where you can watch the river flow into the lake. I am in aw of my creator God. What a master artist He is! Anyway...after my shopping on the way home I was in deep thought of my grandchildren. How I long to see my little Sebastian who lives far way in another state. He is almost 4 months old. And my little Celseste' whom I saw born into this world. She will be 3 months old soon. I was remembering how God spoke to me on the day Celseste' was born. Through her birth He reminded me of my re-birth in Christ. You see, recently I went through a severe depression and I felt as if there was no need for me being here. Oh my husband, what love and compassion he had on me as those couple of years where very hard for both of us. I think he did not know what to do other than pray. When I saw the birth of my granddaughter, my purpose for life was revealed once again to me. I am here because I am loved by Him, He has given me new life and because of that I need not wallow in self pity. Today I am healed and continue to trust my life in His hands no matter the circumstances. He is my strength. Life is a journey, there will be good and bad, there will be sadness and happy times. One of the things I learned from this particular trial is that nothing can take my joy, no trial or tribulation can take away the joy I have in Jesus.
Be thankful for all things good and bad. Learn from your life experiences and make that change that needs to be made. Behind every face is a story and only you and God know exactly what it entails. Leave it in His hands and be free.
On another subject...I made a sale today! I had just listed a necklace that I found on Ebay and 5 minutes later it sold. Wow, I am so thankful. So I am done for the day. Having leftover chicken for dinner with salad. Maybe do a little crochet tonight to wind down. It really is relaxing ya know. Hey, anyone watch American Idol? I am so disappointed this year on how the audience voted. I do have a couple favorites though. I guess we'll see how it goes. You all have a good evening.

A New Day
Woke up early as usual, thinking of all the stuff to do today. I love sitting here in the early morning with my cup of coffee and watch the sun come up over the lake. What a beautiful sight and a great way to start the day. Gotta get caught up on the house work....laundry, a little bit of cleaning oh and gotta give my doggie a bath. Making a cherry cheescake for hubby! I suppose I will start listing my little finds into my shop. I was looking at pinterest just now and found some beautiful marcisite earrings.....yes I bought them for re-sale! Hope you have a blessed day...the sun is coming up, gotta enjoy the view. Haha....

New At This
Posting for the first time on my blog. I'm not much for writing, but this is something that I have wanted to do for awhile now. Please forgive my misspelled words!
I spent a lot of time doing inventory of some items that I have purchased over some time now. I will be listing them into my shop. I decided to open a section called"My Little Finds." This section will consist of used items that I like. I really love to go junking or what some call picking. American Pickers is one of my favorite shows to watch. Anyway, I am really excited about introducing this section to my shop. I really hope it does well. I posted some pictures of some of my finds on my facebook page and I have gotten some good feedback.
I found this new website called Bestie.com. I really like it. It kind of reminds me of Pinterest, only it's to help advertise your goods that you sell and you can also shop and purchase items as well. You should check it out. This is my profile link. Https://Bestie.com/eagerhands
It sure was a busy day. Cooked a nice breakfast, worked out for an hour...trying to loose 20 lbs by the end of May. Haha let's see how I do! Did 40 minutes of cardio and than triceps and biceps. Tomorrow will be legs (yuck). Than spent the rest of the day into the evening working in my craft room. As I was shutting down for the day to go cook dinner I looked out my window and saw a cute little fox sitting on top of the wood fence just sitting there looking at me. He is so cute! He is a big male, just one of the several foxes that come by in the evening hoping to get some goodies. And yes I do give them goodies! So dinner consisted of steak, basmatti rice and green beans....and girl scout cookies for dessert.
My evening ends with chillin out with a little bit of crochet and hanging with my hubby.
You all have a good evening!
