Today I saw lots of pages, and it always where I spend a lot of time seeing the fun and pretty things the ladies do in their things!  so many good work and interesting things!!!  so I decided to mention this here in my blog, and because my house is not ready yet (something to talk about another time), and I can't work on my things yet, I just love watching the beautiful blogs!

Today I really like this one  http://francescashabbyhome.blogspot.com/ because she has lots of pretty things for christmas time and she also showed a page from her place, a fun store in country Italy!  She has a small baby and still works on her pretty blogs.  When I see the ladies with babies and doing her crafts it's a great thing...when I had my babies I also had to work, so almost not time for the things I like doing so much!!  I hope you enjoy it too!!

Sunday

So today is Sunday, the time to be in church and grow stronger and learn more about us, from friends and closer to our dear Father!!!
The day was finally warmer and full of sun, something we didn't have for some 3 weeks or so...it has rained and been cold, either raining or without sun!!!  So funny...this is the most nice time of the year, sunny, flowers every where, sunny, not cold, and with very nice evenings...and this year so far it has been cold when there is no sun!!! very unusual!!!

Everyone is now getting ready for new kids who will try for college for new year!  Some schools have had their tests already, some still are having, but everyone getting ready to get the new students by February ... the special and fun for some just beginning ... summer vacation beginning next month, lots of people on vacation during Christmas and New Years, but still lots of people working on the gifts for Christmas!!

A new year almost here, 2012, it looks like a good number!  let's hope it will be a good year even if we do have some challenges along the new year!!

I hope I get to meet more friends here and learn from all of you!   I wish you all a got during getting ready for this so especial time of the year!!


I show here our special time of the year....Christmas!!!  We meet in our chapel every year usually at the end of this month, and here we can see everybody happy and getting ready this special time!!!  the little ones get anxious about the special time with the wonderful time with Santa Close who is coming to see them!!!  

here we are getting ready for our Christmas ward dinner...this was last year!!! we meet in the end of November so every one can be involved in their family holidays!! And we are be seen by the wonderful Santa...just to attive !!!  I don't have photos of this wonderful time...need to find some....but in the States ...!!!    this next weekend is the wonderful and long time with families and friends for Thanksgiving Holiday, and an important time with families because it's a longest holiday than Christmas and New Year! 

things!

Well, it's been 2 weeks since I stopped my medication and it is great!  The adjusting to not using it and feeling better and stronger is such a good thing!  The thing that it's not fun is still having the gold weather at this time of year for us...summer starts around September...here we are in November and still cold...ok if sun is up, but as soon it's gone it is cold!!!  in the house...always colder!!  it's funny how we get used to things in different places!

The problem with me writing here and doing my things is that I am still slow in working on my things!  I also love seeing all the things people do in their blogs...so many beautiful things!  I end up not having time to write here to much!!
The thing I am working on now is cleaning my sewing room...after so many months of not going there and doing nothing on my sewing I got a surprise when I went there this last week...a mess...it's in the more full of trees in the property and more humid ... and all in was so dusted....!!!  It will take me some time to get it all clean!!!  need to clean some of the fabrics and the machines, clean the flours and walls, just to make sure that there is no dust to feel it when working!!
I was hopping the weather would be warmer ... it would be done faster because in the cold weather is not fun...I get cold cold and don't want to be there when is too cold!
So that's what I do... see all the beautiful things that show up here in my blog!!!   Thank you for all the things done...and in every place in the world!!



So here we begin with the house ... and here is the property towards the back after we were able to take of the things that were destroying all the natural trees!

the ground was made plain in this area, and next this would be my sewing area!

here the sewing house already being made... the property next door was sold, and here they started building a very tall wall ... here were working on our side !

we were going happy with building in our house until....

here we can see the work started to fix the neighbor's house... all the stuff to be used on the wall on my side first!

just as we were working on the back of the house the next door house started moving on their property and this happened by them... their wall was not built all the way down to our ground... because... because they make the ground go up 3 times taller than it was...just by my wall!!!   and without the protection it was to be there my wall went all the way down!!! Down here is the photo were the entrance had to be redone ... the neighbor had to have all done through my house!!

here is seen how up the neighbor's land was raised!  the previous wall done had to be redone as it is now in the last picture... here you can see how the wall went down!!  the next wall had to have other walls made, but first they redid my wall!

all the my wall was destroyed and the neighbor's wall was still there!!

looking from the neighbor's house with the problem during raining time

they had to cut and fix their wall before fixing my side wall...the whole wall had to be 40 meters long!!!

my entrance had to be all redone after the work was finished...destroyed by the neighbor's house! ...43 trucks went out just to get all the bad stuff out !

this back had to be also redone... the car destroyed my turn right in front the house!!

and hear we can see the new dirt put to remake the up wall and a new wall put on their higher floor!   here is my wall redone and the ground cleaned !  my little house in the back is not all done yet, but it is not shown here the car cover...it has been finished next to it! even though my sewing room it is not all finished yet, but I can use it for sewing  This neighbor problem was a lot of trouble and cost...he said he was going to pay me for the work I had to fix, but he didn't pay for the mess!!!  but we are okay!!!  A great lesson about doing things right !!!  my poor neighbor had to spend 5x on all the work he needed to have done, and prevent from his house falling down!!  Just because things started wrong for them!!

A beautiful lady who does his work as if this her joy!

This is about Kathleen beautiful craft !!  She has worked with her work for many years, but she has been in a blogspot only for a couple of years.  I found her today through someone's page, and she is another lady who really made me very happy about her ideas and the many many blankets she has made!

Anyone who enjoys working with quilts will certainly have a good time with her works!

Since her page is also her job I can't copy any of it as well!! So go to page and you can see it all!!  Just beautiful will many different ones and also based on old styles!

Enjoy it!!!

                                        so lest get ready for Christmas!!!

A beautiful family, and a beautiful and diferent work!

I got so happy with this page I just saw!!  Sometime I forget to write on my page because of the many beautiful things I see, but just now I had to share with those that might come here!!!  This page is gorgeous on everything!  I felt the need to share about them, a cute family in Utah...and I am sorry I forgot to get their names, but going online you will see them and like them too!!!

I can't copy the pictures because it is her work and business, but it is work seeing all the work she has done, her beautiful family, her love of work and helping poor children with the good things she can do!  It is an exciting thing to see, and just a young lady and her 4 cute children!  I hope who can see this page will enjoy it as I did!!

I'm happely able to be here again!!!

This last week was not fun...many times trying to be in my place to contact friends through my site was denied several times...what a pain...but I finely was able to be here again;  I have also tried to contact some people and for some reason I couldn't live comments to those I wanted to say how much I liked what I found in their pages and my messages were not in;  some sites have a different way to accept messages and I still haven't found the right way...but I wanted to thank all those I have in page and that is so easy to see them, and follow their beautiful things, who are very active and have great ideas and fun as well, thank you and I will be trying to be better at contacting them and letting them how I like what I am watching in their blogs!!

we have lots of beautiful and different bards flying, thinking, walking around all day!!! but I never can picture them fast enough; there is always big groups every were, so here we can see what they look like!

my home when the sun in coming up... this is the best time... spring time!!!

and now some of the plants just becoming more full and pretty!!! the sun is their love!!!

This are the things that I love, beautiful plants, flowers, trees, sun, my house and family, the most important!!!  This is what is important in life...everything else such as working, cleaning, buying, selling, organizing, and so many others are just what we need to live, but what makes us happy are the beautiful things in nature!

the time of a nice weather!

 Our beautiful plants for Christmas .......  Summer time!!!

our beautiful plants in the garden!

Our dear Christmas guy!

Home and Family

 

our home for this special time!

So about almost last month we started a new time for a warmer time and sunny days!  But the cold weather is around yet!  We just had 4 days of constant rain and a still a little cold weather!  A very not time of weather usually.  The way the seasons have been in the last years have changed, and in this big São Paulo city many things have changed because of how it has grown and how big it has become.  It is constantly in the 1st 10 in the world about of its size.  Some countries that have never grown until now have been seen and became part of the same growth.
The worst thing that hast happened every country is the rain, the fire, and so many other not so good conditions.  This happening all over the world has been more and more frequent.  The stories and conditions we can read in the computer, newspaper, TV, and every other possible show how our life has changed since not long ago.  We have had some new things avail and possible like never before, what a good thing!
However we can also so many bad things happening all over just the same.  The thing I am happy about is the chance to be with family and everything we can be to one another.  As we come to this year end and prepare for Christmas we can think and pray for one another, spend time together as families, use the Christmas time to grow more religious and better persons.
This is my great desire for this season...not money or fun...but good time with our family and friends, and happy for the time together!

getting better!!!

Well this year was one really not years really are for me!  The year was/has been totally different of any other year.  In April there was an incident during a heavy rain and we got stopped inside a big cross full of water.  We didn't know that this was the normal thing in this place.  Well making it small and short...we got stuck in the middle of the water was dead and would not start again; we had to get out in a very dirty water full of all kind of dirty things...all kind of very bad and thirty water.  Our car took a long time to get home...we needed to be taked home and the car need to be carried home as well.  After this mess at this time I got sick and after 3 weeks had to run to the hospital...and there I was totally out for 6 days and after that I had to go back to normal like slowly.  This lasted in the hospital until the end of May...at home I have been taking care of ever thing to make sure everything is back to normal.  I came back to normal and have to work my speaking way...sometimes I steal forget at that little starting some word or way of saying something...today it is much better and faster.  So after all these days...many days working out the last months I am almost back to what I was and more active.

This was an interesting period of time and life...not having this more series life before I had to learn how to be more careful and learn a new way for me.  I had to become more careful and patient, more loving and understanding of all of us who sometimes have to be patients with those around us!!  Life is important in many ways, but families should be always the most important thing in our lives.  When we are like that ... we help  one another in the difficult moments.  I am very happy for my good family who were always there...all my life ... and this time again ... who helped me !!!  The ones I have also had the chance to help them also!!  I am so thankful to and for family's every moment we have had the chance to be with each other!
This has been a good one for me with all my good brothers there with me!!!  thank you dear brothers!!! and son boys as well!!
I love you all from my heart...me Ilona







 

luck of the Irish to you!!!
