I am such a broken record, saying the same thing over and over . . . I am so unbelievably behind! It has been a long week and had very little to do with art. My daughter needed lots of doctor visits and x-rays and all kinds of stuff due to a hip injury from a soccer game. She has one more orthopedist appointment in the morning and then we're probably starting physical therapy. On top of that (and the all insurance calls, etc.) she and my 19 year old son are both sick with the coughing flu I had over Christmas and let me tell you . . . what wankers as my husband would say! So pitiful the two of them! Then, the last of the college apps and FAFSA apps all needed my assistance. And husband was out of town and I had not a minute to do what I thought I was going to do any day this week.
On the Flip Side
I did manage to get some new sheets done while waiting most of the week on hold at insurance and doctor's office calls! But that's pretty much all I got done. In honor of the movie about to be released, thought I'd I try some Gnome-ish type sheets . . .

One World One Heart
Well, I was going to participate in the last One World One Heart event I had mentioned in another earlier post. But, given my inability to keep up with life, let alone blog visits lately, I am thinking maybe I should not take it on. If you have not participated in this event or want to increase your blog traffic, I highly recommend you click on the link and check things out. It is a wonderful event to be a part of and took me to so many of my current favorite blogs and some very special friends.

Lastly
I just want to thank you all again for your lovely visits and especially for the birthday wishes. It means to the world to me and you all make life better all the way around. Have a great weekend!

Love the new sheets! The gnomes are so adorable! Life does have a way of interfering with ones goals! Don't be discouraged...it will eventually settle down.

wow you have been busy. I hope the kids get better real soon. I know how it is when both are needing mom's attention. Love the new sheets! They are adorable. And again I wanted to say thank you for the goodies! I can't wait to use them. Take care, tracey
Sending health to you and your family! Marion
I do so love your gnomies! There are times in life when nothing happens except handing out Kleenexes, and making soup,paying the bills and trying to remember to take a shower now and then. Luckily, your creative bucket is filling up, and when you do get to work, you will produce like crazy. Feel better, all around - hope the kiddos feel better soon (my youngest is coughing, too). Hang in there! Spring awaits!

When you least expect it . . . . expect it!!! Hope the kids are feeling better soon, and that your daughter is healing. LOVE these little gnomes! Brilliant idea!!! Just make sure to keep some time for YOU!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Dear Marsha - you are not alone!! I have spent the whole week whining about all the things that never get achieved by moi because of the snow in Virginia. Snow, so much snow, which means I couldn't get out of the house to work, or shop, or thrift! But was I fooling myself that is was July? Did I not know that it is the month of January where snow is expected in this neck of the woods?! So instead of doing all the things I long to get done when I am at work what did I do? Whine! And lots of it I can tell ya! So don't feel bad, the world will not crumble because we didn't meet a deadline. Tomorrow is another day full of opportunities.
Hope all in the house are feeling a bit better - you do the same!
love the gnomes!
Love your little gnome people- just fantastic Marsha and how nice of you to visit my blog. So sorry to hear the kids are sick; life never rests for us moms! I do hope you stay well and stay creative- you bring so much joy to others with your art.
Wow, you've had a really hectic week! Both of my kids are sick as well. Lots of coughing and stuffy noses. I'm pretty sure my husband and I are doomed.
I adore these new collage sheets! I collect gnomes. I have them all over my garden! I don't think I'll be able to resist grabbing these!
I hope you'll be able to find some quiet time soon. *HUGS*

Hope everyone gets to feeling better. You've really had it. And stop apologizing. Nuthin' to apologize for. And as John Lennon said, "Life is what happens when you're busy doing other things." Love the new images, too. Pretty doggone cute.
