Watching my granny change daily

My granny has always been a part of my life. As a little girl we grew up living next door to her and then as we got older just a street over. So many wonderful memories.
She is now 98 years old and she is so feeble and sickly that it is so hard seeing her this way as she has always been a very independent woman. Up till a few years ago it was nothing to see her outside mowing her yard or raking leaves and seeing laundry on the clothes line. Every Sunday she was at church until she became unable to attend.

Now my mom is a real trooper as she has been living with granny since my daddy passed away 4 and 1/2 years ago and helping to take care of her. In the past few months we have really watched a decline in my granny's health as her appetite declined so badly that she now weighs 76 lbs and that was a couple of weeks ago so probally less now. She is completley bed ridden and has to be feed and changed. getting her to eat at this point is a very hard task. We might be able to get a little oatmeal in her or perhaps 1/2 a bannana or maybe a little doughnut.

The granny I am seeing now is so different than the granny I grew up with. We now have Hospice coming in to help with certain things and have has to reassure granny that no she does not have cancer. My mom does everything for her and I help as much as I can. It was a sad terrible thing to watch my daddy in his last days suffering with cancer and this is just as sad although she doesn't have cancer she has just got old.

Don't let this cute little face fool you

Well made it thru the first week with Lily she is so precious and sweet. We have mastered the crate, paper training is going great, now the "I want to chew on everything I can find" phase. We seem to always be saying No Lily, when I see her I give her a toy to distract her attention away from the other object.
And I have to say at 1 lb and 9 oz she is a feisty one. If your holding her and she wants down she will wiggle so bad you have to put her down. It is so hard not to become attached as I know my mother in law will be taking her in a couple of weeks, I am thinking around Valentine's day

About my great aunt Eva

I remember as a young girl going to my aunt Eva's house and playing and having so much fun, and 2 things that really stand in my memory is her coo coo clock and her weeping willow tree. Setting in her den and watching tv with her. I recall a special time with my great aunt when I spent the night with her. I got up the next morning and she made me some cereal and it was my first time seeing skim milk and of course being a kid I was telling her "this milk dose not look right" Later on we got dressed and went and caught the bus and went down town for some shopping. She even bought me a doll house that day. What wonderful memory's I have of her. Now I have a bracelet she made me at the age of 100

Aunt Eva is my granny's older sister and is 101 years old. Over the past weekend she developed a UTI and was hospitalized. On Monday I ask my mom how was she doing and at that point she was showing some improvement. However by Monday night she had taken a turn for the worse and was suffering kidney failure and at her age there is really nothing they can do. So now she is at hospice. She will be missed

A new crochet project

So sometimes I just start crocheting and don't know what I am making till suddenly it just happens. I had thought about doing a pocketbook and then I started looking at it as a neck warmer and that is what it became.

however I decided to kick it up and instead of the usual button closure I decided that I would make some flowers and use one of the loops of the flowers to hook around the button,

Now meet Lily this is the little maltise that I am training for my mother in law, she still has to convince her husband to let her have a dog. Cute as a button but don't let that sweet little face fool you she is a fiesty one.
I have her about 90 % paper trained, she is now crate trained and she does know the word no especially when I see her grab some yarn or a shoe to try and cut her teeth on.

I can say this she is a very smart dog and they are people dogs they love to be around you at all times

sometimes you feel like running away

There are times that I feel so over whelmed that I just would like to get in my car and run away. Having my husband around me all the time is hard as I really get no me time and then he wonders why I get grumpy. Well it's because you can't be around someone 24/7 and them not get on your nerves.

Then we have the issue with granny. There are decisions to be made and trying to make the right one at times isn't easy. She is 98 years old and has been in her home over 62 years. Back in December my uncle has come up from SC and started the process of having her put in a nursing home, talk about stress it almost appeared that she wouldn't be in her home for Christmas, well prayers were prayed and wouldn't you know my granny put her foot down and said "I am not going" turns out they were going to take all but 66 dollars a month from her and get this make her sell her home to pay for her stay.

Turns out once you make the choice to move out of your home and go to a rest home medicare can make you sell your home in order to pay for your expenses and then once the money is gone they take over again. My granny and grandpa worked to many years and have taken great pride in their home to let this happen. So now what?

I have been the one since my dad passed away that takes granny and mama to their doc appointments and such but now granny can't get down her front steps and she doesn't have a wheel chair ramp so there is the option of Hospice. Kinda of a creepy thing because we usually think of cancer and such but I have discovered that they can supply all of her needs right there at her home and she will be able to stay there and keep her home. We will see what happens

So I had this vintage fabric

I had had it in my head that I wanted to make a top, no pattern just cut and start sewing. This is some vintage fabric I had in my stash so I used it. Now I know kinda colorful and loud but to my surprise my mom and several people really liked it. I decided to crochet a border around the bottom to give it a little more length.

No more than two items, please. ( No "mature" items, please). Be sure the item is twitter ready. (See below) Check back throughout the day and tweet all the new items posted from other online shops. Etsy, ArtFire, Zibbet, Bonanzle, ebay, your own website, etc.. Retweet our hashtag during the evening hours. Spread your tweets out so that people will click on the links.

Please add our NEW tag to your tweets. "#RETWT" This way we can Retweet later in the day, simply by searching the hash tag. We are not using "Bluebird" any longer. Thanks!

Limit of two (2) hashtags.

Some hashtags are automatic, and so to explain...

Example:

Here's what appears when I click "tweet" on an item:

Knit Lip Balm Lipstick pouch Black | ChristieCottage - Knitting on ArtFire... #handmade #artfire http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/3935206

Here's the acceptable post for this item:

Knit Lip Balm Lipstick pouch Black @ChristieCottage #handmade #artfire http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/3935206 #AFPP #RETWT

By reaching out thru blogger and blog follower's twitter accounts, we will reach a new audience of viewers and hopefully land some sales. After all, we all have our online shops to make sales.

Tweet the blog link hosting the Twitter Tree© each day to get more participants. If benefits all of us.

Invite your friends!
