Yes, another Wednesday. Can you believe it's almost April!?! Holy moly.
Time for the blog hop of ALL blog hops, starting at Stamping Ground.
Hosted by the lovely Julia (who has fabulous handwriting).
This week started off a bit rocky for me. My little Daisy Hammock crossed over Rainbow Bridge (see previous post). Bless her soul.

| She was a poodle - but not a fru fru girl. |
To occupy myself I decided that I needed to make some more ATCs. I had so much fun with my first swap. Here's what my creative juices have come up with.

I bought this photo album to keep my ATCs in - both the ones I make and receive.
to list what's on it! Sorry for the dark photo.
It worked really well last week, visiting those desks that ended in the same number as me. I also visit everyone who visits me. After that then I randomly select as many as I can.
Thanks for visiting.
Peace,
Thanks for visiting.
Peace,
Kay
I am so sorry about Daisy, they leave such a gaping hole in our lives when they are gone. Hope the artwork making consoles you to her loss a little. Annette #22
ReplyDeleteI am glad you have some creative projects to occupy your mind ((hugs )) and I always pick out my favorites first when visiting and then depending on how much energy I have I'll visit others! So, no pressure on you being a favorite...but you better visit me! lol waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteMY heart goes out to you on the loss of your precious Daisy. They say art is great therapy, so I hope that's the case with you. I like your ATC and holder. You will enjoy it (the holder), I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteGolly, I forgot to add my number, Kay. Happy WOYWW from #3.
ReplyDeleteHi Kaye! A very pretty ATC! I love ATCs as they are quite easy to make and so satisfies our creative urge! Happy WOYWW! :^) patsy
ReplyDeleteYour post instantly led me to the one below and I read it with tears pricking my eyes. So sorry for your loss. Don't these little fur babies leave a big hole in the heart?
ReplyDeleteKeep crafting, it helps, believe me I know.
Thinking of you, Hugs, Neet #5

ReplyDeleteI hope you are okay, it is like losing a member of the family when a pet dies. Will be thinking of you, I recently lost my 17 year old duck, so I know how much it hurts.

Every week I come up with something new. This week it is the 5s and 10s and folks I "know." I love the ATC-it looks so filled with stuff. Does it have actual lace across the front or is that the design of the paper? I love the state of your desk. We've all been there. I've even pulled out a folding table to avoid any form of picking it up.
ReplyDeleteso sorry to hear of your loss but at least she is not suffering now,great poem,hope you have a better week :)
ReplyDelete#66
It's the hole that pets leave when they die..it's a tough one :( With time you'll be able to look back and remember how she made you smile. Crafting sure helps :)
ReplyDeleteTake care, LLJ #74 xx
So sorry to hear about your Daisy, that is always hard.
ReplyDeleteBut a little art therapy is good for the soul.

Oh bless you. I know only too well how you feel. I started my blog to celebrate the life of my special chocolate Burmese cat, Toby. He was well in his teens at that point and we lost him aged 18.5yrs, which is quite good for a pedigree. Our life ended as I'm sure yours has just now. It never stops hurting, just gets a bit more bearable. If you want to venture more with your atcs try these little blogs:

My sympathy to you. I love those little ACT cards. They are each a work of art!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for you, I lost a special dog, too, and thinking about him still brings me to tears. I'm glad you can find some solace in your creativity.

So sorry about Daisy.. Beautiful work and love your ATC. I have some plastic sleeves to put ATC's into and they go into a 2 or 3 ring binder. I will be happy to give them to you if you want them, yes free just email me you address and I will post them off to you, even some little covers to protect the atc's I have laying around. I no longer create ATC's.

Kay, I'm so sorry you lost your little dog. That's really sad. I still miss all the kitties we've lost over the years - you never forget them once they've stolen your heart! I love what you are doing on your desk, and glad it is keeping you occupied.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a cool idea to visit those blogs that end in the same number as you - there are too many nowadays to visit them all unfortunately.
Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog! Glad you like my knitting and Zentangles. I call them "glorified doodling" - if you're a purist, there are certain patterns used in true Zentangles, but really, I think, anything goes!
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #12
Aww Kay, I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve had to make such an awful decision. I had to face the same problem a few years back with cat little cat Emily and it’s never an easy one to make. You’ve done the right thing thought as sad as you feel at the moment remembering all the fun and laughter Daisy brought you over the years will help get you through this tough time. (((hug)))
ReplyDeleteI’m pleased that your crafting has given you something else to focus on and you’ve done a great job with your ATC.
Happy Crafting!

Dear Kay
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet miss Daisy - they leave such a void when they go to the Rainbow Bridge, don't they. Art is such a great therapy to work through grief - I love your little creation. Have you done any artwork related to the the Wild Abandonment class?? I am really loving following your picks on Pinterest!
Sending you much love,
from Joan
So sorry for your loss of Daisy. Glad your ATCs were able to be a distraction to you when you needed it. ~ Laura #151
ReplyDeleteSorry about your pet, they leave a gapping hole dont they, it will get easier. Keep up with the crafting, it will help.
ReplyDeletejanet #16
So sorry about your poodle! I hope you get much joy from creating your ATC's. That's something I haven't tried yet. Maybe someday! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your beautiful Daisy, Kay. They leave a big hole don't they. Hopefully you've had some success keeping yourself occupied. Our hobby can be a godsend sometimes can't it.
ReplyDeleteLove the book you have for protecting your ATC's.
Take care and Happy WOYWW
