The Rusty Angel

It's great to have someone who shares your tastes to shop with.I am finally getting a few minutes on the computer to post a few things. At my house with 2 teenagers it's almost impossible to get computer time between homework and My Space and Facebook. I am looking at refurbishing a laptop I was given just so DH and I could have time on the computer.

Here are some of the things I purchased when I went shopping with Rondell.If they look familiar it's because she and I bought the identical things. SHHHHHHH don't tell Carl I bought a bag of grass. I'd never hear the end of it. I love my blue eggs. I need to find a bowl for them. I purchased yards of the fabric they are sitting on to make curtains. I ended going back and buying the ones I wanted a couple days later.

We both bought this candle holder and nubby candle. The cupboard it's hanging on my brother made me. Isn't it wonderful!!!The cupboard I mean.That will be another post. I'll show you all the stuff he's made for me.

Now here's the stuff I bought when I went back to buy the curtains. First here's the curtains. I hate the white windows and muttons but they'll have to do for now. I've toyed with the idea of making false inserts to cover them. We'll see. This room is still a work in progress. I also bought this rod iron candle holder. I figure if I buy 1 thing while I'm there I should be moving ahead on my decorating.I just love these nubby candles too.

Now here's a project I completed some time ago but I'm just getting around to posting and I do like how they turned out.


My SIL is very bad so I am praying for a miracle and will accept nothing less. I will covet your prayers. They both read my blog so I'm not going into detail here. We are remaining optimistic and not dwelling on the problem. But thank you to all who are praying.

I have lots of projects in the works and will post again when I can get the computer.

Please Pray

I am asking for prayers for my brother Ron and his family. Actually my SIL Theresa especially. She had a brain tumor removed today and it was cancerous. We are not sure if it has metastisized from somewhere else or if it is a primary tumor. My brother is so dear to me as she is. I can't begin to express how sad this whole thing makes me. She will be 50 in May. They have 2 grown children and 5 grandchildren. Please remember her in your prayers as they start a new process. It's been a tough year for them. They both lost their jobs this year. They worked for the same plant in Texas that closed. My SIL had been there 36 years and my brother 20 some. They need to be going to school or actively pursuing jobs to qualify for their unemployment. My brother Ron is in college at 44 and so was she. (She passed out at school that's how they found the tumor). His school is 1 1/2 hours away from their home but he must continue or have no money coming in. So this is going to get more complicated than ever for all of them.

Just please pray for all of them. Here are the pictures of their sweet family. Their daughter, her hubby, their son and all the grandkids. As you can see they love each other so much.


Thanks

Rhonda
