Well I'm back,It has been a rough road, but hey, we all have and will survive.
I am no longer doing the "It's my very own bags of love". I passed that on to another soul. When you are doing it all by your self and sew as well it becomes a little stressful to say the least.
I was sent this this e-mail, now I've been doing a lot of and trying new things to find my nitch, sorta speak. This I think is it. I still love sewing and quilting(which by the way I must share with you), but can't figure how to put it on site as yet. Will in future. ADHD showing, HaHa! Anyway the web site that was given to me is this one. Please check it out. www.damselindefense.net. Every women should have one or more of these items. Being a nurse and retired Social Worker these items are very needed in every young and older women. Kids as well. Be safe and take a look.I will be posting the items and the site on my blog as soon as they are sent to me.
I do have some items I'm working on right now. A purse carrier for your American Doll. As well as a cradle for the baby doll. There in the making as I speak. When I was designing these (those of you who know what I'm talking about) you have to take all the kinks out. I will post them ASAP. as long as my life is somewhat quiet. I know I have said I was going to put fabric on the site and I havent changed that, due to my needing it so that you may be able to pick your own fabric out. I also will be selling the Kits for the doll carrier as well. So till next time dont give up on me its just a slow pace we are moving. Thank you so much for checking in every so often.

2 cloves garlic,minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
12 oz. fresh shrimp (this is wear I draw the line, I used tufu) peeled and devained.
1/4 cooking wine (again I draw the line...a no for me)
1/2 c. whipped cream
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
3 c.baby arugula or baby spinach

Bring 2 quarts of water to boil in large pot. Add baby carrots ,snap peas and cook for three minutes. Remove with slotted spoon. Add pasta to the boiling water and cook till adanta.
