Today's zip of Little Sailors

Today's zip includes a fish paper I adapted from a wonderful pattern by the talented Rene Blooms, whose spirit is as beautiful as the art she creates and shares. Do visit her here:

Oh and thanks to Noreen for tip about using cayenne pepper for sinus infections. My aunt makes up some kind of gargle with it and garlic and other stuff and swears by it for colds. She also makes a Super Soup for when someone gets the flu. I know it has a good bit of cayenne, garlic and rutabaga (not sure what that is supposed to do). It's so heavy on garlic my uncle always tells her not to breathe on anyone, but she insists it is good for the immune system. Anyway, in my e-mails today there was a link to the following article about cayenne pepper tea and I thought you might be interested:

I've got bad reflux and have had a stomach ulcer so I have to be careful about spicy stuff.

Thank you

I was taking a moment to scan my e-mail before doing a ton of chores set for today. I saw several comments from you and wanted to tell you that while I don't often reply to comments, I sure do appreciate knowing I have readers, knowing you enjoy the things I share, sensing the warmth of your voices. Today's message from Brave Girls Club (do check out the website and if you need a daily lift subscribe to the messages) bears sharing:

More on Little Sailors later today.
Hugs!

Thursday: Little Sailors freebie

Saw that while surfing the net & said, Oh, that's so me! Only the photo I saw was in orange - not me, so I adjusted it.
Had a bad sinus headache today, took Tylenol and slept a lot. Did not accomplish anything today other than to cook dinner and load dishwasher. Just feeling irritable for no specific reason, which is probably just depression. Some days the dark water starts creeping up without any "reason." Today, some of it is lack of progress with getting the house back in order, some feeling a little overwhelmed with all there is to do to handle Dad's stuff and the knowledge that it is only going to get more complicated and there is little hope of any help. But that's how things are and all I can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other, making whatever little progress I can, and keep the faith, right?

And now after that little whine, here is today's freebie:

Running Late with Wednesday freebie

Got a few things done this week so far: paid all Dad's bills and most of mine, finally got the replacement lens put in my new glasses (they had ordered regular lens instead of darkening ones), visited with Dad, talked to nursing home about replacing useless nightstand in his room, made Marble Squares, got my hair cut and did usual basic kitchen and bathroom cleanups. Made plans to take granddaughter to see Despicable Me 3 next week, spoke with my brother (he's no better), and today my husband and I went to see The Mummy. Not a great movie by any means but nice escape.

Thank you all for encouraging comments about new kit. I live in Norfolk, VA, home to one of the largest Naval installations around. I'm minutes from the Chesapeake Bay and also minutes from the joint Navy & Marine base where the famous Seal Team 6 trained. Lots of "nautical" around here.

Today is zip 2 (I'm pretending it isn't past midnight and thus really Thursday):

And I'll be back before you know it.

Monday Monday & a little freebie

Got lots to do today and sat down to see how much of Little Sailors (next kit) I had ready to post. Not what I'd like but then I realized I had forgotten to post the 2 templates I'd made with Chick Thing. Both include an element or elements from the kit and also basics. The one I've called Anticipation seemed to need an example to show my intentions so ended up making examples of both as preview.

Hope these will be useful to someone.

That's all folks - the last of Chick Thing freebie

My husband just fed me the very best ribs ever! The man is a talented cook! Soon as I post this, I'm going in to spend some time with him. A little "family" news. Remember me saying Dad was concerned because he couldn't get in touch with Miss June? Turns out she has something like a slipped disk in the middle of her back. Happened Sunday night while she was watching TV. She said she felt terrible pain and assumed she had just turned wrong so she lay on her side on the sofa where she was and eventually went to sleep. When she woke up, she couldn't move her legs! She is in a rehab center for next 21 days and was still in a lot of pain when I visited yesterday.

And now Chick Thing 22, the rest of the Hen Party segment:

You know what those chicks are gossiping about, don't you? The terrible preview I made with stuff that didn't all go together but works with the rest of the kit.

Not sure about the cocktail overlay and paper but threw it in anyway.

Have a great weekend!
