I'm back!

Hi all!
I know it's been awhile, but I'm here now.  I really hope I can get back to blogging a little more frequently.  Hopefully since summer break is about to start I'll be able to focus myself a little better.

I'm not sure if I mentioned about my poor Milky being sick?  It started back around March I believe.  He was vomiting at night.  We took him to the vet where he was x-rayed.  She said his upper intestine looked thickened.  She sent him home, he seemed to improve so we didn't think much of it.  Then he started getting sick again, and quit eating.  Within just a few months he had lost 50% of his body weight.  We had multiple tests run on him and found out he was suffering from IBD (Not IBS) which they generally only see in older cats.  Milky was just 2 years old, so we were shocked to hear it.  They day we went in to start his steroid treatments we found out that his liver was failing and that he had very little chance of recovering.  It was a very sad day for us.  We said our goodbyes and had our poor Milky euthanized.
Losing my kitty was hard.  I've never had to go through that with an animal before and hope to never do it again.  I'll miss Milky.  Even now, almost a month later, the boys still talk about him.

So, how have you all been?  We're coming to birthday season here.  June 24th, my youngest will be 4!  Then in July we'll be celebrating 2 more birthdays.  Isaac will be 8 and Liam 6.  They grow so quickly, don't they?
I recently finished my Dressmaking and Design course, and am awaiting my results.  Here is what I made for my final.

I also started another page on Facebook.  This one is not craft related at all.  It's a page for my healthy living journey.  I share my journey as well as use it as a way to help educate people about my vegan way of eating.  You can find it here https://www.facebook.com/AvoidingFatGenes  If you do stop by, give me a like and let me know how you found me!  I also started a weight loss/ healthy living support group.  We have around 30 members already and I'm really excited to see the changed everyone makes.  It's just for the ladies so if you'd be interested let me know!  I'd love to send you an invite to join us.

I've been pretty busy with Neezy lately.  I feel like I'm always working on something.  Right now I'm currently working on a winged unicorn.  I don't have any pictures to share yet but it should be finished in a few days. 
Here are some things I have recently finished. 


Cute, huh?!?!

eSpecially You.  has been rather quiet lately.  Not much going on with jewelry right now.  I'm hoping to soon get some pre-made posted in hopes of making some more sales.  I miss all my jewelry customers.  They always came up with beautiful items for me to make.

And before I forget, it's Wednesday!  What are you wearing today?
The weather is warm here, YAY!  Shorts are out, although snug...

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a fantastic day!
