I will just need to lay low for 3 weeks, then I'll be back!I have been teaching different art classes for over 30 years. I simply love to help others create something special! Today I took on another Quilt Shop ( Keepsake Cottage ) in Bothell, it was really fun and a great place to teach! So now you will see me in Kirkland and Bothell!<br />

I think meeting new ladies, and then being able to see old friends each month when I teach ...makes it the perfect job. Now you probably noticed that I now have a stool beside me. I had to get that last week, so that I could get my weight off of my knees when I am teaching. I found out last week that I have a meniscus tear on each knee. It happened when I had my car accident in June. I just kept wondering how my knees could be going bad both at the same time?<br />

<br />
So tomorrow...I will go in for Arthroscopic surgery on both knees so... I will be down for awhile.<br />
I am a bit discouraged about having surgery but..I don't want to be hurting any more either so... we will do it!<br />
I have many blessings... so that is where I need to focus my energies, well on that... and on healing and getting my knees stronger.<br />
<br />
Since I won't be able to do stairs for 4 days... we brought our recliner downstairs, got my Chicken Soup Quilt and a good stash of yarn, so...I think we are ready and I'll be fine!<br />

Good Night dear friends!<br />I like the quote <b><i>" By doing what you love, you inspire and awaken the hearts of Others."</i></b></div>

I have been trying hard to get things organized,<br />
figured out and ready to start off this new year right.<br />
It has been a long time since I have written in my blog, one of the biggest reasons is that my computer is acting up all the time now. Tonight I will try to write this quick!<br />
I have been doing this blog for 8 years and have truly shared some of the toughest lessons that I have learned in my life.<br />
This past year I have been up against something a bit bigger than me. I hesitate to mention it because I am not sure exactly how I am handling it. I have been warned about it for years and although I know that it is just a normal part of a Woman's life, it has been a tough one for me. Menopause!!!<br />
Menopause was something that I watched my Mom struggle through and even though I am much older to start going through it than her... still I am beginning to understand why so many women dread even the word.<br />
I realize also that every woman goes through it at different times and through different degrees, but I am sure a few things are just the same for each of us.<br />
My emotions are changing a bit more than I would like. My internal thermostat is changing just about as fast... but only from Hot to Cold. My body is changing and not for the better and that is making it tough on a daily basis. Now before you call or email me of all the things I could be taking....thank you in advance but as a 2 time Cancer Survivor, I can not take them. So I am trying all the other natural things I can try.<br />
I went to get a massage the other day at a new place and the secretary was a man. When he asked if I wanted the massage therapist to heat up the table before I got in there and I casually said " No thank you, I have my own internal heating pad turned on most of the time", he just smiled.<br />
As I finished my paper work and turned it in to him, he smiled again and said " I am a 2 time survivor". I looked at him and said " I am glad for you....what type of Cancer did you have?"<br />
His reply was " Oh I meant a two time survivor of Menopause! I survived my Mom and my wife!"<br />
So I guess he said it all :)<br />
Sunday night I started getting some terrible back pain and nausea, it went on for the rest of the night and all day yesterday. It started to scare me, because I couldn't figure out what it was. Many times in my life, my back has hurt so bad that it makes me sick to my stomach, but this felt different. After a bad day and into the evening it finally dawned on me that this is exactly how I felt last February when I had Kidney Stones. So the last 2 days have truly been tough. I keep drinking and drinking hoping to flush them out and pray that I can do it on my own and not have to go to the hospital. I started feeling better later this afternoon.<br />
Today two dear friends came by and brought me an amazing dinner, fresh flowers and this beautiful snowflake garland. So even though it has been a tough two couple of days I realize that I am blessed and have much to be grateful for.<br />
I have missed talking to you dear friends.<br />
Good Night!<br />

Like with LynnMade, we have had some challenges and we have had to rearrange how we are working the whole business. At first I was really upset but realize now that I was going about it all wrong. I really tried to make my business become something that it isn't. I am still not sure exactly what I want LynnMade to be ...but I do know what I don't want it to be.<br />
So for now I will just try to focus on what is most important and then trust that I will make the right direction choices in my life. I love LynnMade, and some day I pray that it will become something known for helping and inspiring others to create something beautiful fro the ones they love!<br />
I am going to try to do more teaching so that people will know who LynnMade is and what we stand for.<br />
I have neglected this blog since I started LynnMade a year ago, it just seemed too much to do 2 blogs and get all the things ready that we needed to start LynnMade. I loved writing this blog, I love sharing what is on my heart. I love sharing the lessons of life that I am learning. I feel like even though I am having fun with LynnMade and making it happen, still I realize that I let some of the important things go.<br />
I haven't been paying enough attention to my health or my personal goals...so I am going to regroup and start this year over...trying hard to keep my priorities in order.<br />
Life teaches you over and over. Sometimes I wonder why I can't learn something the first time...why I have to relearn things over and over? I guess that is just life... or just me!<br />
So thanks for your patience and for being such a great friends and a great support to me. Thanks for believing in me, that means alot!<br />
Good Night dear friends!<br />
PS I think this quote was written for me!<br />
<br />
<img alt="Please don't nag yourself with thoughts of failure. Don't set goals far beyond your capacity to achieve. Simply do what you can do, in the best way you know how, and the Lord will accept your efforts. ~ Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley: " src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/14/8f/e3/148fe30d72d4ad21eb2417ffb3281731.jpg" />Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12911102467819794109noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2214140965109361863.post-43772010270465417892016-11-20T23:34:00.002-07:002016-11-21T00:34:33.949-07:00Have I taught my children to fish and to sharpen their axes?Finally my back has gotten better and I am terribly grateful for that. I forget how hard it is to function or concentrate when you are in such pain. It has been a long time since my back has been that bad...I think it scared Jeff and I both. I don't want to have surgery on my back, I pray that I can get stronger and keep it that way!<br />
<br />
Today I was able to go to church and teach the women in Relief Society. The lesson was how important it is that we teach our children about God and how that can change their lives. One of the things that stuck out to me was ...that the reason that it is important to teach your children about God and Jesus Christ is because, there will be times in your kids lives that you can't be there.. but their Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will always be there. What a great source of strength that can be.<br />
I love the quote...<br />
<h1 class="entry-title" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.57143rem; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime"</h1>
<div>
I would love to keep all my family close to me always and shelter them from anything bad in the world, but that isn't possible. I just pray that Jeff and I have taught them well enough to fish on their own. I hope that they will read the scriptures and go to them always for strength and comfort.</div>
<div>
I hope that they know through and through, that they are a child of God and with that knowledge they will be able to be happy and have peace and hope...no matter what is going on in their world.</div>
<div>
I hope that they love and teach their families to love and serve others. That they will never see someone in trouble or hurt...without helping them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://www.lds.org/bible-videos/videos/parable-of-the-good-samaritan?lang=eng">you can watch the video HERE:</a></div>
<br />
What a better world we would have if everyone loved one another.<br />
It was a great reminder for me to study the scriptures, pray more often and look for opportunities every day to help someone in need.<br />
<br />
Good Night dear friends!<br />
<br />
PS If any of you think your lives are too busy to take time and read your scriptures...then read this story below!<br />
<br />

The Wood-Choppers Contest</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6e6e6e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
Once upon a time there were two men in a wood-chopping contest. They were tasked with chopping down as many trees in the forest as they could from sun-up to sun-down. The winner would be rewarded with both fame and fortune.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6e6e6e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
From morning till noon, both men steadily chopped and chopped. By noon they were neck and neck, but then one man took a break and stopped chopping. The other man saw this and thought to himself<i>: “The lazy fool, he’s probably taken a break for lunch. He’s given me a chance to get ahead of him and I will without doubt win this contest!”</i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6e6e6e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
A while later the man got back to work. As the day continued he chopped more trees than his hard-working (and hungry) competitor and by mid-afternoon he had taken a clear lead.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6e6e6e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
When sundown came, the man who had taken the break at noon had chopped almost twice as many trees as the other man, who was drenched in sweat, hungry and exhausted.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6e6e6e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
“<i>How did you beat me</i>?” he asked puzzled. <i>“You were lazier than I and even took a break for lunch!”</i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6e6e6e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<i>“Ah,”</i> said the other man, “<i>I did take a break, but it was during that break, that I sharpened my axe.”</i></div>

His mother, Meagan Nash, admitted to being a little nervous when they went in for their meeting with OshKosh’s CEO earlier this week.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
As it turned out, she had no reason to worry.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“He went in there and he was Asher,” the proud mother said. “He was waving, he was blowing kisses! The CEO held him and he didn't want to leave.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
OshKosh told Meagan they wanted to feature Asher in an ad after they saw what he could do.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />His big sister Addi agrees.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
His family wanted to highlight his disposition, and his disability.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Even though he has Down syndrome, he's not different,” his sister Addi said. “He's just Asher.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
The family wanted to get him in to ads to raise awareness that people with Down syndrome are just people.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Not just in advertisement, but in schools, in their work place, in the community they live in,” Meagan Nash said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
And it's worked. Meagan says she's received thousands of messages from all over the world about the impact Asher has had.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“They say, 'You made it all the way over here, we're so proud of what you're doing,'” she said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Meagan Nash said she's proud of Asher too.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“He's bringing joy to people,” she said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
And it's not just OshKosh. Asher will be featured in an OBALL ad in 2017, and possibly an Ingenuity ad as well.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
This kid has an amazing future ahead of him. We’ll keep you posted as his star continues to rise.</div>

<i>In ancient times, one test of the purity of gold was performed with a smooth, black, siliceous stone called a touchstone. When rubbed across the touchstone, the gold produced a streak or mark on its surface. The goldsmith matched this mark to a color on his chart of graded colors. The mark was redder as the amount of copper or alloy increased or yellower as the percentage of gold increased. This process showed quite accurately the purity of the gold.</i></div>

<i><u>Charity is the pure love of Christ and will not fail. Loving others is “a more excellent way.”</u></i></h3>
<div>
<b>This was a sweet story of someone that truly understands what Charity really means!</b></div>
<div>
<div class="" id="p83" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" uri="/manual/teachings-of-presidents-of-the-church-howard-w-hunter/chapter-20-walking-the-saviors-path-of-charity.p83">
<i>As a young man, Brother Vern Crowley said he learned something of the crucial lesson the Prophet Joseph had taught the early Saints in Nauvoo when he told them to “love others, even our enemies as well as friends.” This is a good lesson for each of us.</i></div>
<div class="" id="p84" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" uri="/manual/teachings-of-presidents-of-the-church-howard-w-hunter/chapter-20-walking-the-saviors-path-of-charity.p84">
<i>After his father became ill, Vern Crowley took responsibility for running the family wrecking yard although he was only fifteen years of age. Some customers occasionally took unfair advantage of the young man, and parts were disappearing from the lot overnight. Vern was angry and vowed to catch someone and make an example of him. Vengeance would be his.</i></div>
<div class="" id="p85" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" uri="/manual/teachings-of-presidents-of-the-church-howard-w-hunter/chapter-20-walking-the-saviors-path-of-charity.p85">
<i>Just after his father had started to recover from his illness, Vern was making his rounds of the yard one night at closing time. It was nearly dark. In a distant corner of the property, he caught sight of someone carrying a large piece of machinery toward the back fence. He ran like a champion athlete and caught the young thief. His first thought was to take out his frustrations with his fists and then drag the boy to the front office and call the police. His heart was full of anger and vengeance. He had caught his thief, and he intended to get his just dues.</i></div>
<div class="" id="p86" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" uri="/manual/teachings-of-presidents-of-the-church-howard-w-hunter/chapter-20-walking-the-saviors-path-of-charity.p86">
<i>Out of nowhere, Vern’s father came along, put his weak and infirm hand on his son’s shoulder, and said, “I see you’re a bit upset, Vern. Can I handle this?” He then walked over to the young would-be thief and put his arm around his shoulder, looked him in the eye for a moment, and said, “Son, tell me, why are you doing this? Why were you trying to steal that transmission?” Then Mr. Crowley started walking toward the office with his arm around the boy, asking questions about the young man’s car problems as they walked. By the time they had arrived at the office, the father said, “Well, I think your clutch is gone and that’s causing your problem.”</i></div>
<div class="" id="p87" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" uri="/manual/teachings-of-presidents-of-the-church-howard-w-hunter/chapter-20-walking-the-saviors-path-of-charity.p87">
<i>In the meantime, Vern was fuming. “Who cares about his clutch?” he thought. “Let’s call the police and get this over with.” But his father just kept talking. “Vern, get him a clutch. Get him a throwout bearing, too. And get him a pressure plate. That should take care of it.” The father handed all of the parts to the young man who had attempted robbery and said, “Take these. And here’s the transmission, too. You don’t have to steal, young man. Just ask for it. There’s a way out of every problem. People are willing to help.”</i></div>
<div class="" id="p88" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" uri="/manual/teachings-of-presidents-of-the-church-howard-w-hunter/chapter-20-walking-the-saviors-path-of-charity.p88">
<i>Brother Vern Crowley said he learned an everlasting lesson in love that day. The young man came back to the lot often. Voluntarily, month by month, he paid for all of the parts Vic Crowley had given him, including the transmission. During those visits, he asked Vern why his dad was the way he was and why he did what he did. Vern told him something of their Latter-day Saint beliefs and how much his father loved the Lord and loved people. Eventually the would-be thief was baptized. Vern later said, “It’s hard now to describe the feelings I had and what I went through in that experience. I, too, was young. I had caught my crook. I was going to extract the utmost penalty. But my father taught me a different way.”</i></div>

<i>Out of the abundance of his heart, Jesus spoke to the poor, the downtrodden, the widows, the little children; to farmers and fishermen, and those who tended goats and sheep; to strangers and foreigners, the rich, the politically powerful, as well as the unfriendly Pharisees and scribes. He ministered to the poor, the hungry, the deprived, the sick. He blessed the lame, the blind, the deaf, and other people with physical disabilities. He drove out the demons and evil spirits that had caused mental or emotional illness. He purified those who were burdened with sin. He taught lessons of love and repeatedly demonstrated unselfish service to others. All were recipients of his love.</i></div>

We also had Lee and Caitlin's wedding reception here in Kirkland. Caitlin's family came and visited around Seattle and then we all helped get the Women's Club decked out for the reception. It turned our beautiful... of course it did...Amy was at the head of the decorating crew! :) It was fun to see so many friends and family come support these two!<br />

I was able to get their wedding present ... finished 1 day before the wedding. It took a long time because I had to make it big enough for him and her. He is quite tall! They had a beautiful wedding, and even though it poured on their wedding day and they had Cold Stone surviving Ice Cream at the reception. Definitely a wedding they won't forget!</div>

I finally got my new machine ( now I don't have to carry my machine up and down the stairs for the videos ), only took me 4 months to pay on it! It wasn't very expensive but everything seemed expensive after the wedding this summer.<br />
But it works great and I am busily working away on my next LynnMade online video.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up this morning with my heart aching! I was sad. It kind of surprised me, that is not how I usually feel. I normally can hardly wait to wake up because I have so many great things I want to do with my day. I usually wake up happy and very grateful for each new day that I get. I usually realize how full and blessed my life is, but today was different. I tried all the things that I know my Mom would have told me to do today...if she were still here. I said my prayers and prayed to know what was wrong, I listed all my blessings down, I read my scriptures and I also did some service and still my heart just kept aching. I felt like bawling all day but didn't ( probably should have ).<br /> I had a visit from a dear friend and it felt good when she was here, but then the feeling came right back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I called a couple of friends and they convinced me that I was just tired from all the excitement of the last 2 weeks. That was probably a big part of it. My house has been full and happy for the last 2 weeks with kids home and getting ready for Lee and Caitlin's wedding reception. Now everyone has gone home and my house is quite ( too quite ). So I think missing my kids is a big part of it too!<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But then it goes a bit deeper than that, I am overwhelmed at how far I still have to go on really getting LynnMade out there with a lot of visibility. We have started...but only scratched the surface on all we need to do to make this Business really soar. I think I am a bit overwhelmed at all that needs to be done. Probably I feel overwhelmed because it is all the Social Media stuff that I really don't understand much. This seems like I have bitten off more than I can chew! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also I am mourning a loss of a dear friend, there seems to be a hole in my heart that can't completely heal. After almost 40 years together, I guess that might be a normal feeling?<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am also still in the mess of trying to get to appointments for Physical Therapy, after this car accident and now we just found out that the person who ran the red light and hit me, is now saying they weren't claiming to be at fault at all. I don't like having to deal with those sort of things. Plus, it is just hard to hurt so much again!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, I didn't sit down and have a good cry, I just kept going today, I kept praying and kept counting and recounting the many, many blessings I have. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had someone over for dinner tonight and that felt good. I dropped a treat off to a dear friend and their family...that felt good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I even video taped another free video for LynnMade.com ..and that felt good.<br /> Then I read this wonderful talk that I found <a href="https://www.lds.org/liahona/2011/11/the-songs-they-could-not-sing.p24?lang=eng">HERE:</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I realized that I felt a bit better. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perspective is a wonderful thing! It was ok to had a tough day, everyone has them. But remembering that my Heavenly Father knows me, and is aware of my good days as well as my bad days, is quite a comforting feeling! <br />How grateful I am to remember to see the bigger picture. How grateful I am to know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are always there with me.. so that I don't have to do any Bigger Than Me Days alone! That makes me smile!</div>

I only had to have one tooth pulled...instead of more!<br />
It was a back tooth and you can't see the hole when I smile, really grateful for that!<br />
I had the best Periodontist ever!<br />
I had bone grafting from a cadaver, which I am grateful for and hope that they had better teeth than me, and that this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship:)<br />
I have time to do some crocheting that I needed to do.<br />
Yes, I have many blessings and I am grateful for them.<br />
<br />
Good Night dear friends!<br />

By looking at them, you could tell how much she loved each person she gave them to...by all the hundreds of hours that she worked and put into them. And by having them there displayed at her funeral ...you could tell how much they loved her and cherished her incredible gift!<br />
I love making gifts for others!<br />

Then the girls came over and since it was raining they decided that they would like to go to the new library. So we thought maybe they should have some library tote bags to bring with them.<br />
So they picked their fabric, their die cuts from Sizzix for their applique and then we went to work.<br />
Audrey was having a hard time standing still, on the top right you could see where she was saying " stand right here Nana?"<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">When they went to the library, Jeff and I video taped some, but even with them gone... we still had the phone ring twice, then I actually got the top of my head in the camera for one whole session ( of course we didn't realize that till it was too late ) so tomorrow I will remake a another tote bag to that exact point and we will try to refilm it. We are so close I can almost feel it!</span></div>

So tonight, I will wash this same outfit one more time and put it back on with a smile and retape again! I have just one question...are we having fun yet?<br />
Information to anyone who wants to do online classes in the future...<br />
Save up more money ...because you will probably need 3 cameras instead of just 1, because you will need a better and faster computer and because you will probably like to hire someone to help you record and edit all of this,,, other than your family. It's a lot of pressure!<br />
Just in case you were wondering!<br />

Good night dear friends!Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12911102467819794109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2214140965109361863.post-3797526896238427132016-06-23T20:48:00.000-06:002016-06-23T20:48:08.006-06:00Life keeps happening...even on your Anniversary!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<u><i><b>"LIFE IS TEN PERCENT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU AND NINETY PERCENT HOW YOU RESPOND TO IT "</b></i></u><br />
I have heard this saying many times in my life and I believe it is true!<br />
Today started out fine, I got a few things done around the house, then headed off to my Physical Therapist in hopes that he could give me some relief from my back pain lately. The appointment was in Bellevue. After that appointment...I was suppose to meet a friend and then on the way home I was going to stop and get a card and stuff to make a special dinner for Jeff tonight. After all , it is our <b>34th wedding anniversary!!!</b><br />
But as I was heading to the appointment, only blocks away from the PT's office, as I was turning on the green light, someone coming the other way ran through the red light and hit me. I kept thinking as I saw him come closer ...that he is going to stop, but then when I put on my brakes, I realized that there is no way he wasn't going to hit me and he did. After we got to the side of the road and I called 911 and the insurance, I was still shaking. My neck hurt, my knee hit the dash board and my lower back was hurting. I first thought ...what are the chances that I would get hit ...on my way to the PT for back pain in the first place? Then I thought...am I going to have neck and back pain for my whole life? From then on the thoughts were getting worse and coming faster.<br />
After all the calls and exchanging of numbers and insurance cards...I headed back to the PT office and told him what happened, he worked on my back and neck.<br />
It was after the appointment when I was sitting in my car for awhile (because I still felt light headed and a headache was coming on)...that I thought...I am very lucky that I was able to see my PT right after something like that happened. I was blessed that it wasn't worse. I was grateful that the man did stop, admit he ran the red light; and that he had car insurance.<br />
So even though I have a headache and a pretty bad neck and back ache, I realized that I am blessed. It could have been way worse.<br />
Jeff and I will have to celebrate our anniversary later, but I just came home and laid down and have been keeping ice on my neck and back.<br />
Though I am blessed to have had 34 years with Jeff by my side. Have they all been blissful and wonderful...nope, but we have continued to work at it and he still is my best friend and the love of my life! We truly have had many wonderful years!<br />
I just need to remember this quote again today, life is still good and we have much to be thankful for.<br />
Good Night dear friends!<br />
P.S. I have posted this article before, but I feel like it is worth reading again!<br />

<strong>I was 23, and all the way to the hospital I'd been composing what I would say to Mama before they took her to cut into her heart, whose center I supposed myself to be; hadn't she told me all my life I was the most important thing in the world to her?</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #76923b; font-family: Trebuchet, "Trebuchet MS", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">
<strong>Threading my way through the hospital corridors, I practiced my opening line, which had to strike just the right note. Who but I could give her strength and confidence she would need? Whose face but mine would she want to be the last one she saw before they cut her open and died probably? Whose kiss but mine...?</strong></div>

<strong>I turned a corner and there was my mother lying on a stretcher in the hall, waiting for them to come for her. My father was standing over her. Something about the two of them made me stop and then, as I watched, made me keep my distance, as if there were a wall between us, and around them.</strong></div>

<strong>It was clear to me at that moment that for them, nothing existed outside them, nothing; there was only the man, the woman. She didn't see me, nor from the looks of it care much whether she did. They weren't talking. He was holding her hand. She was smiling into his eyes; and they were, I swear, speaking a language that at 23 I hadn't begun to understand, much less speak myself. But I could see them do it, literally see them, and I moved closer to see more, stunned, fascinated, very jealous that I had fallen in love with someone, married him, divorced him and never once come close to what I was looking at in that hall.</strong></div>

The song is called Stand in the Light<br />
Funny that he would send that to me this week, as I am trying hard to get ready for this first paid LynnMade video, and for a presentation that I am going to give at a Quilt Guild on Monday.<br />
I am excited for this new venture... but I'm still a bit unsure of myself. I want it to work, because I love to people and teaching others how to create and feel good about themselves. I love that my family believes in me and so ...<br />
I am going to stand in the light and be seen as I am!<br />
Wish me luck!<br />
Good Night dear friends!<br />

Amy and I were the lucky ones that got to drive there with her 3 little girls.<br />
Hard...yes! Long...yes! Exhausting...yes!<br />
Fun...yes! Lots of bonding time...yes! Worth it...YES!!!<br />

So for now, I will just start for today and catch up a little at a time.<br />
We got home from the wedding trip on Tuesday night and yesterday and today, I just worked on the house, unpacking, laundry and cleaning. Then I took down all my Spring decorations and put up 4th of July decorations. I love those decorations, because it means that Summer is really here.<br />
Jeff's car broke down a few days ago and so as soon as he gets home from work, he has been working on it. But tonight, he took a break and asked me out for dinner, what's the occassion you might ask? Well, 38 years ago today...Jeff asked me out on our first date! We went to a movie and then dinner. We ate at a Pizza Hut and all I can remember is that when he said goodbye that night, he kissed me on the forehead. I knew in that moment he was a true gentleman and that I was falling for him fast!<br />
So tonight on this beautiful evening, we went out for Pizza and a Salad. No, not a Pizza Hut... but at one of our favorite places MOD Pizza!<br />

I saw this quote the other day and it felt like the person who wrote this...knew my heart. This is exactly how I want my business to be. Actually, this is exactly how I would like my life to be!<br />
There are so many things to do as I prepare this business to launch, I feel overwhelmed to say the least. Still the bottom line is I hope that I can make a difference in the world, through my classes. Sounds a bit corny doesn't it? But it's true!:)<br />

I went tonight to have a LynnMade Rubber Stamp made, it was fun talking to the young girl who worked there as we waited for the stamp to be made. She was only 17 but very sweet. As we talked about my business, she said that her Grandmother had taught her how to quilt....just the way she talked you could tell how much she loved her Grandmother! I love to see when good things get passed down from generation to generation!<br />

We kept trying size after size! This sweet sewing machine (which is upside down ) was the part that Lauren drew! How grateful I am for such talented kids ( who help their Mother )!<br />

Yesterday at church we had a lesson on service and how important it is...not only for you but for those you serve! Then we had this hymn at the closing!<br />
It is one of my favorites. And a great reminder of all the blessings that I have!<br />

All my life, I dreamed of what my future family would look like! Then as each of my children came along, that dream came true. Now as we have waited anxiously for each one of our Grandchildren...it brings on a whole new dream alive. We love them with a love we can hardly express with words. Each one of them come with such a unique spirit and personality, which adds to the fun and the chaos to our family.<br />

I am not sure if it is the 3rd child but Audrey sure has come with a strong, fun and sometimes crazy personality. She reminds us so much of her Aunt Lauren ( also my 3rd child ) that sometimes that is what we call her when she is in trouble! :) But I always remind Amy to look at how wonderful her sister Lauren turned out...so there is hope!<br />

I tried so hard not to, but between him and Lee being so sick last week...I don't think I had much of a chance.<br />
Anyway this weekend has been not quite I expected, I had so much to do but really haven't felt much like doing anything.<br />
Highlight of my weekend was doing some face time with these guys.<br />
<br />
We are so excited that in a few more weeks, we get to see our grandkids<br />
<br />

They are coming here to visit. It is so hard living so far away. But look at those sweet eyes...can hardly wait.<br />

Kai is such a great brother to Miss Oakley.<br />Oakley is a lucky girl to have a Big Brother who will always watch over her!<br />

Kai likes to create, can't wait to do some fun things with him.<br />

Grateful for these sweet kids in my life!Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12911102467819794109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2214140965109361863.post-51812396078110836962016-04-24T00:48:00.000-06:002016-04-24T00:48:06.975-06:00How could he be this old?Today is Lee's 23rd birthday! How can that possibly be that old? I still remember he and Lauren sitting on the porch, proudly showing the pumpkins they picked out.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then it seemed like before I knew it... he was getting as big and tall as his older brother Brad!<br />

<br />
Now on his Birthday, he is with Lauren again, but this time she is with him and Caitlin, taking their engagement photos. He is our last to be getting married. Oh my goodness, the time has flown by. How we love our boy! He has grown up into an amazing and sweet young man, and I am so grateful to be his Mom. We are excited about welcoming in Caitlin into our family. Now a new chapter begins for him and for our family!<br />

<br />
How blessed we are to see these sweet kids ...grow up, and meet such amazing people. Just to have the chance to watch our family keep growing, makes me grateful for the opportunity to be getting older myself...thought I would never say that..but I am!<br />
Good Night dear friends!<br />
And Happy Birthday sweet Lee, we love you more than words can say!<br />

I keep looking at my list of things I need to do before launching my business and it feels just too BIG for me to do. There are so many things that I need to do, that I really don't understand. Social Media is such a big part of it and the future and yet...I feel like I was born in the wrong era!. Still my kids seem to just know it and do it naturally.<br />
<br />
My kids really think that I can do these Online Quilting and Sewing Classes, they believe in me.<br />
<br />
As we talked about a Mission Statement for my business, all I could think of were the reasons that I would like to do these classes... I would like to be able to teach anyone, who would like to learn how to create. Creating is something that literally made all the difference in my life. <br />
When I was young and my abuse was going on. The only way that I could get out of the situation or at least get my head out of the situation... was when I was creating. It took me to a whole other world...one that was happy and one that gave me hope, hope that my life in the future would be different, better and safe!<br />
Then as I grew up, it continued to create and what even made my life better ...was to not only create, but to share what I created with Others. The feeling that you get when share with others, is just the best! Knowing that something you created, something from you personally ...could make someone feel special, happy and loved is truly what I think we were put on earth here to do!<br />
<br />
So scared or not, I am going to start LynnMade Online Classes, and hope that someone, somewhere will need them, and learn how to create for themselves! And by creating something beautiful...I hope that their lives will become even better <br />
What do I have to lose, except Fear itself! <br />
<br />
I have to remember all of these things so that I don't freak myself out each day. Truth is, if this is suppose to be, it will be. I need to turn it over to the Lord, and have more faith in myself, my talents and my family! When I do this, I wake up excited and ready to work!<br /><br />
I do hope it works...wouldn't that be neat? I don't think I will even mind...years from now when my kids say "I told you so Mom! " :)<br />
