Mommy Bragging!

Yes, I'm definitely bragging today after being at Gabriel's school play yesterday night!
HE WAS AMAZING!!!!!
Dancing, singing, saying his line and having fun on the stage just like a pro!
I couldn't keep it for myself, I had to share!!!!
Looking at him yesterday I realized there is a lot more of myself in him that I ever thought possible. He was so comfortable on stage that reminded me the ol'days when I used to do that and enjoyed to no end.............ah missing those days, but watching MY SON doing the same thing yesterday was precious and I revived old memories through him and I must confess that I cried a little!!!
Can't wait to have the DVD and look at it over and over!

Well, I leave you all with a reminder now.

Share the love on Tuesday: Outta Sight

This weeks Featured Artisan is London - Outta Sight! London has beautiful pieces in her shop! "Outta Sight" - Well, not quite. I am blind in my left eye and have the equivalent of looking through a drinking straw in my right eye. The beautiful picture you see is Dolly, my guide dog. Making jewelry is an unfortunate hobby for a blind person, but I love it!

Celebrate Awareness is a collection I am excited about because we all support causes that are special to us. These necklaces, bracelets, and earrings allow you to show your own awareness and present a heartfelt gift to others. Choose your Cause or Color, and let me know if you have any special requests!
London is a true inspiration to me!

Slippers may be made to any size; You customize the length of the sole with this pattern. Includes size chart in inches for US women's shoe sizes.

Crocheted using worsted weight yarn in colors of choice.
Uses a size f (3.75mm) hook.

This is a little of a self-promotion this morning, 'cause I proudly own this pattern and the slippers are now available in my artfire studio with other hollanddesigns slippers.

Randomness Saturdays

This Saturday I'm good enough to post!

♥ Turns out that I had a bad reaction to the stitches used for my surgery. I took them off yesterday and luckily I will be ok in a couples of days. Can't wait to put all this behind me for good and start anew!

♥ Gabriel had his last baseball game and he proudly brought home a trophy. It just stroke to me our far he has come! Few months ago, when he was in the soccer team, it was really hard for him to understand what was going on and why. He's know A LOT more aware of the things that are happenings, he understands them, he LIVES them and enjoys them all and I enjoy watching him grown and getting better. I'm always more and more convinced that with love and work, he can turn autism around, call me a dreamer.

♥ Michelle went to a field trip with the school to the zoo.....she's still taking about the white tiger she saw and she's drawing tigers everywhere.....too funny!

♥ Since I was on pain killers during the past week, I don't have much to tell you. I kept forgetting things all week, sleeping several hours per day and be careful not to suffer too much when I ate stuff. Meh, not really interesting, sorry guys!

♥ I discovered some amazing movies tho. One is an evergreen in my opinion "Doorknobs and Broomsticks", they don't make movies good like that anymore! I watched it over and over with the kids and they loved the "witch". Never get tired to see this one. And yesterday night I had the pleasure to see "Avatar": I must say, it's simply amazing, I love the world with the blue people and I for one wish I could be one of them. They have skills and abilities that we've lost in our civilization process that I really wish we'd still have. The world will be a much better place in my opinion.

♥ I feel a little bit gloomy and "home" sick, I really wished my parents were around during this past week, I think it'd have been far more bearable, even tho hubby was fantastic, I really missed my mom and dad. And so this song tonight, sums up the feelings that I'm trying to push deep inside. I'm not able to get the code for the video, but it's "Home" of Micheal Buble'
