Through It All & Other Things


Today is my brother's birthday or was. Brother David, that was my nickname for him, was ill all of his life but most of the time you'd never know it.  Not the outside world anyway.  He was a fighter from beginning to end, eighteen months behind me and we fought like cats and dogs as siblings often do. 
Several bloggers with young children had commented about the fighting and their worries of when it would let up.........I laughed and shared me experiences with my brother, the fights, the words, everything but through it all we loved each other and would never allow another to speak ill of the other.....
I miss my brother whose be gone for many years now.  I still laugh at things he'd said or done and all the fun we had fishing and doing chores.
Happy Birthday, Brother David!  I know he's absent from the body.....present with the Lord!

On another note, it's the day before Super Bowl....what to do, what to do.....well, I was digging through my fabric and found this little UFO that I was going to do something with but as things happen, it got pushed to the side and now I have no clue as to what I was going to do.........oh me!


Lookie at what I've gone and purchased to add to my scissor collection.  Isn't she cute and stylish. Perfect for my small scissor clippings.

Here's my BOM blocks to share so far.  Check out my sidebar to get instructions to the "Lazy Hearts" blocks.

The scissors are really cute. Is there a male version? lol I hope to get my Feb blocks done next week.

I looked at scissors like that when we were shopping this week. I didn't see a male version - that would be so great to find.

Having lost a sibling, I know what it is like to have those bittersweet memories. I love to tell my niece funny stories about the mother she never got to know.
