She's alive!

All I can say is thank goodness Mr. Skellie has been around to write a blog entry once in awhile because this little lady lost her mojo the last few months. Early this winter, my doctor doubled my blood pressure medicine. Well, that was okay for the first few weeks, but I noticed my energy level slowly decreasing over time. I spent less and less time in my shop and definitely more time in my robe! When my son Ben came home at Christmas, that boosted my spirits quite a bit and we hung out together and he helped me around the house. Not the most exciting stuff for a young man, but I did enjoy his company. He's off starting a life of his own now which is right and necessary, but I just couldn't seem to get back in the miniature groove. Finally, this week I cut myself back to the original amount of medicine and felt better almost immediately. The anchor around my neck was becoming lighter. So I'm here to let you know that I am typing this in my shop and puttering around in the middle of the night just like normal (?) LOL! So we will finish Marlene's Quilt Shoppe together and Mr. Skellie will be making more appearances too. I've started small, but this is what I was messing around with tonight.
I was saving these empty tissue boxes because I am a minion fan and knew I could think of something to do with these eventually. I have 4 of these sets of drawers for all sorts of junk and I thought they could use a little personalization.
So I cut out the minions, shaped them to fit and used packing tape to stick them to the fronts of the drawers.
So here is one...
and here is a second one.
Don't faint at all this creativity now, I told you I was starting small! LOL! It's nice just sitting here at my bench talking with you all tonight. Thank-you for your patience and I will talk to you all again very soon! Have a great day!
