woohoo!!! its friday! I thought it was never going to get here! Its been a long week. in fact the last couple weeks have been long. work has been busy and overwhelming as Ive gotten 4 new boys.. and remember, these are not nice boys. cant say much more then that as i dont talk about work on here.. but OMG!!
I m soo glad its the weekend. I have lots to do. Valentines is getting packed away and easter is coming out. these two pics are from last year or maybe even the year before. but the second one is how my kitchen will look later tonight. I cant wait to get all my easter babies out. thats about it, my only real plans for the weekend. that and cleaning and puttering.. oh.. and the dreaded grocery shopping. though really I think I could probably put that off for another week. well see!

thank you all for your prayers and good wishes for my grandbaby Jacob. please continue to keep him and his mommy and daddy in your prayers.
Ok.. gonna do a little bloggy hopping now..
Happy Friday!

more baby news.. and still need prayers.

(picture of my grandbaby Jacob vincent Neroni)
Tony (jr) and Vanessa had an appt at the high risk pregnancy clinic at Strong Hosp in roch today. They saw another pediatric heart specialist. Vanessa also had an MRI. This is so very frustrating. If you recall, the first bad news they got was that the baby has a herniated diaphragm. That in and of itself is a very serious condition for the baby and could be fatal. They were referred to a specialist then, that told them that the baby also had a severely defective heart and that he wouldnt live 24 hours after birth. They decided at that point to carry the baby anyways and not to terminate the pregnancy. The plan was to deliver the baby and love him for whatever time they had with him. Which they were told could be 10 minutes to 10 days. I gave them a lot of credit for making that decision. It was a decision they made on their own, that we all fully support them on and believe is the right choice.
Then they went to another specialist, a pediatric heart specialist who told them that the babys heart looked ok. and there was a huge sigh of relief, even knowing that Jacob would still be dealing with serious problems due to the herniated diaphragm. Soon after their dr. referred them to the high risk pregnancy clinic at Strong Hosp. Which is where they went today. Today they saw Strongs pediatric heart specialist and she told them that jacobs heart does have defects.. but that she thought they were "survivable".
There are so many conflicting opionions. Its hard to know what to think. I'm sure they are feeling very discouraged at this time but are still trying to remain hopeful and positive. It is for sure that the baby has/will have some serious problems. I guess we wont know just how serious until he is born. Im just asking all of my bloggy buddies to keep praying for Jacob and for tony and Vanessa. the baby is due June 4th. So we have a little ways to go still. Im hoping that the MRI that she had today will give them some better news. fingers crossed and prayers sent!!
I'll be sure to update you's soon as we know anything else.
thank you for your prayers! You are all the" bestests"!

"peep peep peep"

Hi girlfriends! Ive been home all day. just playing in my craft room. I thought we were going to get a snow storm over night and the wind was strong most of the night. I could hear it for hours and I assumed it was snowing too, but when I got up there was no snow. still windy.. but no snow.

So after playing on the computer, and getting started on my little easter chick I thought I'd run to the store to get some watermelon and grapefruit! got dressed, hopped in the car and drove down the road about 2 or 3 miles and ran into a snow storm. Bad enough that there were white outs so I turned around and went home. put on sweats and big comfy booties and hibernated in my craft room for the rest of the day!

LIstened to 60's and 70's music played the sound track from wicked and vegged with figgy and frannie. And, I didnt have to make dinner because Tiffany did! she made a really yummy chicken pot pie casserole.. omg yummy!

and my hubby went out to get my watermelon, grapefruit and diet pepsi! so its been a nice day. I love days like today! but.. I didnt do any house work.. I really need to clean the bird cage and empty the litter box!
I also have an order for three memory bears that came this week. I think I'll get them cut out tonight and sew the pieces together in the morning. (you know I'll be up at 5:00 am!)

Then I have to pick Torry pie up and babysit! he is sooo cute. I'll try to get pics of him and Marlaina tomorrow.

so do you like my little wooly easter chick. It was really hard to get a good pic of him. He is really cute. I have so many little easter things swirling around in my brain!
and Im dying to get my easter bins out and get decorated. but I'm waiting til next weekend. or maybe sometime during the week I'll get started.
Okeedokie.. I'm off to pinterest for awhile!
see yas chickies!

I have a wonderful little
woolly collection... all waiting for just the right project...

I saw these little shamrocks (below) on pinterst and had to make them... soooo simple!
I'm addicted to pinterest...

keep me on the computer!
There is sooo much cool stuff there though! Have you been there yet?

craft day with figgy and frannie!

"tweedle deedle dee.. tweedle deedle dee!"


Today has been a purrfect day! (at least to this point!)
Ive been wanting to do something with this
lamp shade for a long time.
Finally yesterday I bought some
fabric and last night I ripped the old shade apart to
get it ready for this morning!
Up at 5:30.. ready to play!

So were figgy and frannie. they love to hang out in my craft room with me. Though they usually are sort of in the way... I almost always work around them. I hate to make their sweet little selves move!
Arent they the sweetest little purrbabies!?

Frannie was posing here.. I did have to move her out from under there as I needed to be able to work on it!


So they moved over and napped while i worked.

this turned out so cute and cheerful and it just brightens up my craft room.. but it is very difficult to get a picture of!


such fun!!!

It has taken me all day to do this and then to upload pics and post on my blog. Its 4:00 now and I've done nothing else today (except feed my face!) So while its still day light out, I think I'll go outside and take the greens and lights off the house from christmas!! then when my husband comes home from where ever he has wandered off too I think I'll have him cook burgers on the grill. sounds good huh? more calories... just what I need... eiy yie yie!
Tomorrow... back to serious weight loss business!
toodles!!
