havent been on the last few days

[dragonkort2]

Well its been a couple of days since iv been on but iv been a little busy.  First we had to find a wheelchair that would fold and fit in our car. That should arrive by the 24th. So im watching the mail. Then I was looking for another dog since we couldnt keep henry. I do miss that little guy but i dont miss being bit.  This is bonnie. I have no idea what kind of dog she is. It just says mixed breed. Evedently the pound couldnt guess either.  She is a spical needs dogs. They didnt say that on her photo on there computer sight.  She comes from tennissee and was kept locked in a barn with tons of other dogs who were not being taken care. I was afraid when spike heard that id have to have a fit to get her.   You see the last spical needs dog i had got scared and dragged me across the livingroom and into the corner of our foot stool, which resulted in 6 broken ribs and a puncherd lung.  about 4 weeks in the hospitall and then about a year after i got home slowly sitting up in bed, then a chair and then a therpiest came and we started walking and doing excerese to get me back up and about!  needless to say I had to send her back but the woman i got her from and i kept i touch for oer a year and the last picture she sent me she and the dog were on her pontoon.  Bonnie is doing great!!   she was cowered in the crate for the first 2 days only comming out when i took her leash and led her out to the dog yard. The last few days she s been staying under the sleeper couch where she can be close to me but also hidden.  She has also been comming out from under the couch and has started walking around the kitchen and livingroom before retreating back under the couch. she is slowly improveing. she actually licked my hand when i put her food down for her today! she no longer cowers or backs away when i approch instead she wags her tail. lol shes not ready to be touched yet but she is comming along fine and much faster then i thought she would. normaly they require you to take your adopted pet to the vet with in the first 2 weeks but the pound waved that for us. she is up to date on her shots and has been spayed so theres no rush for her and we dont want to tramize her any more then she has already been. Espically since right now when you take your pets to the vet they come out to the car to get the pet and take them in to see the vet while we wait in the car for them to bring the pet back. then we also went up to travis city to pick up norma for a few days and then took her back yesterday. finally today i can get back to my crafts lol I also have a new big book of woodworking patterns to go though as my grandson ( with help from his parents )got me the big book of weekend woodworking book with 150 patterns in it!!  so of course im looking through that lol the only bad part of this book is im going to have scan the patterns into the computer so i can inlarge the patterns to the proper size. not to much of a problem for the smaller projects but for the bigger ones i'll have to figure something else out there is a tool cant remember the name of it but it lets you trace the pattern with one side of the tool while you put a pencle into the other side so it draws the picture your tracing on a piece of paper. I just have to keep looking for it on line so i can order it..but it might take awhile for me to find as i dont remember the name of the darn thing! lol  inbetween doing all that iv managed to get one fret piece cut out and another one started as well as getting some of the compound cuts sanded and shaped.  I also had to get my sewing machine out today so i could help my friend whos moving up north take in some pants. lol she packed her sewing machine up and didnt remember which box it was in lol I hope to have time to look at all the things you guys have been doing and perhaps finish up a thing or two to put up myself in the next few days as usual much to long of a message but im working on keeping to woodworking and not making such long posts.

yes i think thats it,it helps you to reduce or enlarge the pattern your tracing.   I am waiting for the wheel chair to come in as spike said hed take me to hobby lobby after i pratice enough to not steer into stuff or people lol  There are a few different things i need to get there....that tool, some expoxy resin( I have some molds here to make stuff with apoxy resin, im still looking to see if theres a different kind of expoxy reasin for finishing your work  and for making molds.  i also have to get some wash away stablizer so i can use my emboridy machine to make iron on patches and theres some stuff you put on the back of the emboridy to turn it into an iron on patch. have to find that again so i can know what i need when i get to hobby lobby. Its been a alful long time since i went anywhere other then the drs and didnt stay in the car...and those trips werent very often either.  im trying to start learning how to do things again and tackle the agoraphoba... i was going to start by going to church again but since my brother goes he would see the wheel chair so im going to wait to do that until he and my sister discover i have it but im sure that wont take to long because we have a dollar general here and im going to try to go there by myself...with sheba of course.. and in this little village nothing gos un noticed for very long...someones bound to see me as i pratice going up and down the drive way....but i doupt it will take very long to master it....just point in the direction i want to go and push the go button or stept or what ever you steer it with lol then just get good at controling the speed lol and inbetween all that im trying to get some craft work done. lol so now im off to the kitchen to do some more carving on those little compound cuts.  I figure one of the things i can do with the oxpixy resin molds ( the coaster ones) is take the side pieces and use some of them to put into the molds to make like little seans , or put santa and such for christmas, bats and such for halloween and turkeys and stuff for thanksgiving and other things like that for other holidays. Im going to make my brother one with a dotsen in it and then some with our family pictures in them. iv just got tons of ideas i want to do and i still have to get plaster of pairs to use in my plaster of pairs molds to... this will help build up my stock so i can get back on ebay...spike said i have some boxes of finished crafts in the gragre still that were neer unpacked!  if i had known that i would have gotten back on ebay sooner! lol now i just have to find them and get them in the craft room on the finisded crafts set of shelves. lol well here i am off topic again and going off at the mouth! but im working on it im working on it lol

I also have the first 3 armor of God peices cut out and sanded. the boys are already painted so tomarrow i'll start on the armor then paint the compound cuts. when all thats done all i will have to do is put the magnets on the boys and the armor. I still have to finish cutting out the dragon pattern and i have a few other things waiting for there backer boards. my sewing machine is in the livingroom so as soon as i get thewood stuff off the kitchen table i can iron the materal im going to use for my sewing patterns cut them out and get the pined together. then i can start sewing in the evenings while im watchig tv. I still have to look up how to use the expy resin solid molds... at least they said they were molds where i bought them from. I:ll ask my daughter the art teacher about them next time we vido call . its been a few days so she should be calling again soon. welll time to get off the puter hope to get on tomarrow to look at all the wounderful things all of you are doing
