Hi AGAIN!

We finally made the move to Florida and am getting back into blogging. I will have new pictures posted. We moved from GA to FL and made it permanent in January. We moved pretty close to the causeway to Sanibel and Captiva Islands. It is absolutely beautiful here and love life here - except the summers can be pretty gruesome. (HEAT, HEAT and more HEAT).

I have also decided to get a website developed. I will let you know about that when it is finished. I have gotten totally "hooked" on punch needle. My creating has been left in the dust for quite some time now and finally feel I am ready to start again. It is a good thing I didn't sell all my aquisitions because I found I really needed them.

Supplies - Update

I am so sorry, but I have been so busy; I haven't been able to list the items and provide pictures. Some of the items I will be listing will be vintage jewelry, dominoes, button cards, old letter types made of wood, millinery flowers, all too much. This all means I have to go into my studio, which is a total mess and filter through it all. I should not have posted this note until I went down there. So, if you can hold on .... please do. I have a CT scan tomorrow and a doctor's appointment today. SO hang on in there. Thanks so much. Kathy

Supplies for Sale

I am going to liquidate some of my unusual crafting supplies ... I have accumulating these items over the course of 14 years. I am moving and do not have the room. Please check my Etsy site in the coming week for these items. Thanks Kathy

Taking a little time off

I have a graduation of my only child coming up! My parents are coming down for the first time in practically 6 years. I am busy getting ready for the show I do in November. I will be out of the loop for awhile, so please stop by later on in the season. In the meantime, I continue to make creative projects, so please come by when I am "up" again. Thanks so much for your support. Kathy (Ms. HP)

A Little Mother's Day Gift

A Child’s Angel

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.

So one day he asked God,

They told me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?

Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.

But tell me, here in Heaven, I don’t do anything else but sing and smile, that’s enough for me to be happy

Your angel will sing for you and will smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.

And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don’t know the language that men talk?

Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care<>

And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?

Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray. I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?

Your angel will defend you – even if it means risking its’ life.

But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.

Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me even though I will always be next to you.

At that moment, there was much peach in Heaven, but voices from earth could be heard and the child in a hurry asked softly.

Oh God, if I am about to leave you, please tell me my angel’s name.

Your angel’s name is of no importance – you will call your angel Mommy.
