My heart and soul of July



My Peacock; "Cornell"
Ta Da!!!! Cornell was finished at the end of July. He is now in place on Schwenk Drive in Kingston, NY in front of Ryan & Ryan Insurance. As you can see, the stone statue idea did not work out. I like this outcome much better. Cornell was inspired by Thomas Cornell.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Cornell_%28politician%29 Whose place in our local history is firmly established.

I was trying to make a bracelet in peyote stitch which involved following a visua...

We brought in Independence Day very subdued. No parties, we were invited to no parties either which is just fine by us! A little BBQ, but just family (meaning Hubby and I and kids) My Father was in the hospital in Delaware where he lives near Rehoboth Beach. He had been in the hospital since June with heart issues. He had a stint put into his artery for his heart but things had gone terribly wrong. He also had COPD, which did not help matters any. I was anxious to know how he was but the communication from his companion was not really good. The news had been that he had the procedure, was not doing well, but would be ok to...thought he was going to die...but he will be ok (on July 6)...to....OMG, they told me that he is going to die today! on July 7th. I was driving my dau...
