More tweaking

       Well as it gets later into the wee hours of the morning my mind comes more alive. Most people unless they are at work at this hour are usually in bed but this is when I get some of my best ideas.
        I've been playing with the way my blog looks tonight I added and rearranged the mini etsy thing until it looks how I want it to look, changed my background, added a picture of Bruce( the hubby), and an old picture of my boys that I like.
       My guys are my inspiration as they have always supported and encouraged me in any of my crafting adventures over the years. The boys were my guinea pigs when they were young when I got an idea to try the item out before I made it to give to someone else wether it be sweaters, toys etc. They were asked what they thought of color combinations, if they liked the ruffles on something that I was making for some girlie item I may be working on, sometimes also trying the item on for a size comparisson, and through it all, sometimes with protest they always came through. I don't know where I would be without them.
      I have to deal with the day to day reality of not having my youngest boy Barry aka The Bear around either to talk to on the phone or see him as he's been gone for over 7 years now. I don't let that keep me from talking to him though as he is always around even now. He's having fun on the other side and finds ways to make contact with me and others in the family by turning lights on & off, moving things on us so we can't find them and then when we give up lookinh the item is suddenly right where we thought it was in the first place. When this happens it's always when I or others are in a down mood and after it happens we always smile because you can just see Bear standing there with his little crooked grin and you can't help but feel better. I may be saying this wrong and some folks might think its just a mother morning her son but its what I believe and what others in the family have had happen to them. He also comes to me in dreams and we have wonderful talks like we did when he was here. His birthday is coming up on the 31st of March he would be 30 this year but instead of that he'll be forever 22. How I miss him!! The picture I added is one of my favorites of him and his big brother they were real close and still are.
      I also added a picture of my husband doing one of his spring, summertime hobbies racing his sidecar rig. He does the driving now but I don't have any pictures of that so I put this one on where he is being the monkey. Maybe that should be my next animal that I make and put in my shop!!! I need a little icon of a lightbulb cause it just went off in my head.
    Okay I'm really going to bed now. Goodnight & Blessed Be
