joyful dog quilts – Joyful Healing, Dogs and Quilts

Rather Proud

These are my current projects. We are doing a Big Foot Festival the end of June and I have been designing small quilts based on West Virginia folklore and legends.

I am having heath issues and emotional ones, too. Have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow which is a start. The emotional issues have me stumped. Lots of flashbacks, obsessive worry, anxiety and memory issues. I am going to deal with the physical stuff first and see if that helps. Than I will see whatContinue reading “Not Me”

Depression, Decisions and Art

Long Week

It has been a very long week and today we bought a car. I should be happy or relieved but just worried. I will get use to it but, right now, I’m just stressed. Further adding to the stress, I have bought household goods this week. I use to hoard chairs but have gotten ridContinue reading “Long Week”
