This is SO hard!!

This will be just a short update ... yesterday my TallGuy and I received some devastating news!! Anthony's son Nazy had been shot and killed!

Unfortunately the killer hasn't been caught yet .. but I am hoping this coward will be brought to justice soon!!  I hope and pray that someone comes forth with some information that leads to the arrest of his killer!!

Nazy loved to dance .. he was a very talented 21 year old who's bright future has been destroyed by three bullets! He left a grieving family .. two Baby-boys and a endless number of heartbroken friends behind! Please keep us in your prayers!!

Please keep our family in your prayers ....

Hair and Tools!

I am back ..

My TallGuy is still not able to walk and keeps me busy .. so I couldn't really work on any new Art or Jewelry!! Therefore I will show you some things I have created some time ago .. but use pretty much every day!!! .. I have long hair ... no, I mean reeeeaaaalllyy loooong hair!!!!

Too keep all this in place I use a few different things .... mainly an oversized Scrunchy .. but I also love to use hairstix!! .. Those things can get expensive .. so I decided to make a few myself in colors to match my style!!

For some of those I used just regular Chopsticks and some of them are Kebab sticks .. but all of them are hand painted and decorated by me .. yes I had more .. but I do have some other longhair friends ;)

Of course now I also have to show you some of my hairstyles!!! I was thinking about posting a few styles on my other social media .. but let me start here first!!!

.. I hope I didn't bore you too much!!!! ... let me know how you like my styles and if I should keep making more hair-tools!!!! :)

Just another little Update and Ramble!!

If you read my last blog you already might know that I had to take a little break from drawing and making my jewelry!!!

My TallGuy ( yes I call him that because he is a foot taller than I am ) was in the hospital .. first for heart failure ... then for an infection .. amputation of some of his toes and kidney-failure!!! Here is the good news .. he is feeling much better and healing since he was allowed to come home after 4 weeks tossing and turning in a hospital-bed!!!!!!

Hopefully soon he will get back up on his feet (yes, pun intended ;) ) and will be able to walk with a cane or even without any help!!!

                                           I want to thank everyone who kept us in their prayer. 
                                    

I also want to thank the doctors and nurses of Temple University Hospital ( well .. most of them who were involved with his care .. but that will be material for another blog!! ) for their knowledge and compassion! His case-manager on the other hand should go and look for another occupation .. I suggest as a cashier at a cheap Dollar-Store .. cause that is the only other place where I ran into an attitude like hers!!!!!!

Long story short .. my TallGuy is home and resting as much as he can .. and I let him!!! ;)
He has to go to a few follow-up appointments with the Temple Foot and Ankle Institute .. but that should be a cake-walk (even for him)

I will post another update when there is anything new to report!!!
So Long .. enjoy your weekend!!!!!

My TallGuy is in the hospital!

Hello Again!!

I am sorry for not >blogging< much lately .. but I had a good reason!! My TallGuy is in the hospital for over three weeks now! In June we had a scare with his heart .. it is enlarged and not pumping well!
For the last two years he is struggling with a diabetic foot ulcer .. which got infected and caused the doctors to amputate all the toes on his right foot! So far he had two surgeries and is scheduled for the third and hopefully final surgery on Monday!
                                              Please keep him in your prayers ..  

My Little Digi-Gallery

First of all ... Happy 4th of July!!!!!!!

Hi again!!!

Since the weather here is not firework-worthy I decided to spend a little time on my computer and create my own little sparkly images!!! ... do you want to see them?? .. well you don't have much of a choice at this point!!! .. unless you just close this window!!!!
I started doing these images about a year ago - just playing around with some photo-tools  ... and a few of these pictures almost hurt my eyeballs!!! ... but just go ahead and look for yourself!!! .. (for the best view of the picture .. just click on the first image and a little slideshow should pop up ;)

... are your eyes bleeding yet??? ... no?? .. good!!!! .. but I hope you enjoyed my little gallery of digi-images!!

                              STAY SAFE and enjoy this holiday!!!

.. sorry ...

Hi YOU!!!

I am sorry I haven't posted any updates lately .. but I told you I am not a >blogger< at all! Anyhow .. I think I owe you a little explanation!!!

A while back my (better and much taller) half had a big health-scare and had to go to the hospital ... heart-failure!!!!!!! ... this was a very scary situation for both of us .. and I am sure you understand that he had my full and undivided attention!!!!

I am happy to report that he is feeling much better again .. but there will have to be some changes in diet and much less stress around him!!!

... on another note .. we are back on our little side-walk spot .. selling our GraffillyArtWear .. and I even added some greeting-cards and more jewelry!!!
