I have tried to leave comments on two blogs, Bev and Jodi M. When I do and it asks for my password it says incorrect! But it's not,   I rechecked! And they are good comments too! Help :doh:
Dorothy

I really like Blogger it is so easy to use! Trouble is my blog is on Typepad, I think I'm going to switch to Blogger. Has anyone ever done that or am I just as flakey as I feel?
Dorothy

I love   my Ott light, it is wonderful. Get one you will love it too!
Dorothy

Oh wow, I like Blogger   it seems to me so much easier to figure out than my Typepad one. And it is free! I think I may switch. can I do that? Will someone please send me a permission slip
Dorothy

Yes that's what I am in the middle of... it is taking awhile beacause I want to comment or read each one I am having fun though, Roxanne I love that poem about your mom, I lost my mom in 1989, and I miss her so much.
with love to all, Dorothy

Is there an easier way to collect everybodies blog address so that we can link up? I have been going down the list and it is taking a long time, and I'm not sewing   or making dinner, my husband ia afraid he may waste away to nothing   Won't happen for awhile that's for sure.
Dorothy

I actually am almost finished with a new design. I worked on it last night, I was so worried it wouldn't turn out like the image in my head. But it is and I am so relieved! Shane, I was a member of that club, wonderful group of ladies  
However it takes about a half tank of gas to get there, so it is not an option right now. Though I did talk to my friend Karen Blair (she is in the club) last night on the phone. Bev I am going to be at Nevada City next year if I have to hitchhike  and I look forward so much to seeing all my friends there. I will proably do the Aug. show here in San Diego (ABC Productions). And I am going to get my blogg healthy and active.

After I typed my post yesterday I thought "oh no Dorothy what a whiner you are" But I felt whiny and down and grouchy so that was me then. I pray that I will experience less of those down times and be able to proceed with a better, more happy mind   A friend told me I am to hard on myself   I am. With the Grace of God I will try not to be.
Thanks friends, for your replies and care, Dorothy

I thought you were going to say you took the wrong meds in the dark! Thank God you didn't. That reminded me of a woman I know who accidently took her husbands prostate medicine   She was in the hospital and in a coma type thing for a couple days. But she is fine now...
Dorothy

I wish that making teddy bears wasn't so lonely. I get feeling kinda that I am the only one for miles around that makes teddy bears... or even understands. I think I may scream at the next person who says " I made a bear the other day at a build a bear store" I need someone to slap me on the back of my head and say "get to work, Dorothy". Or at least what did you finish today? I just wish...
Dorothy

Amen to that!!   Thanks you just helped me to step out of my funk,  Did God tell you to write that?
Dorothy

Thanks, everyone. Relax and visit. I can do that. I take everything so seriously, like I'm going to be graded.  I really do need to just let it all hang out (dates me huh!?)
Well, I am leaving on a retreat tomorrow, when I get back Sun. night I hope to be a new relaxed person. 
Dorothy

I'm working on mine also. How do you think of what to say on a daily basis? I worry about what to say and my fingers hover over the keys as my mind fogs up!
I have been trying to comment on others blogs maybe that will "warm me up" and get me moving.
Dorothy

Yes I do.... I need it like I need air.  I get a little oh, obsessive sometimes: everything must be just this way or that. Jodi helped me to see a joy that I lost track of for a while. Especially as I am getting older and it seems their are less oprotunties, less money, lots of time... There is an art that I can say "I am good at that, it's mine."
Keeps me moving forward.
Thank you for your kind words, Dorothy

Now why didn't I think of that! Wool in the muzzle! Great idea
thanks, Dorothy

Me too, 
Dorothy

Jodi I just read your article at Cybear Cafe http://www.cybercubscafe.com/recipes.htm
I wanted you to know that it was inspiring to me and that it made me feel hopeful. My situation is a bit different (my husband is on complete disability now) It has been a challenging couple of years,   not much bearmaking getting done, fits and starts mostly. But now I feel more hope and hope is such a good thing.
thanks a bunch.
Dorothy

Dental floss works well also, in place of the sinew and it comes in a neat little container!

This is Nora my best friend.
Ginny was Spunky the sheep flying?

I've worried this would happen, there are some really gross things they put in dog and cat food. Even the "good stuff". I started awhile back feeding my dogs raw turkey mixed with leftover brown rice, oatmeal, and veggies. They are doing great. I guess I'm a bit obsessive about that, I might as well confess that I also add flaxseed meal and eggs. They are my babies...

  God Bless You. Dorothy

Thanks guys, I slept most of yesterday. Now to find some chocolate!

Please bear with my tale of woe  
On thursday in the early morning hours we got a call from my son, he was broken down in Santa Barbara on his way home to San Diego. So I drove from San Diego to Santa Barbara delt with the car situation, cracked head gasket. Then to Idylwyld (in the moutains east of Los Angles) to drop off my son at friends who were later going to L.A  then home on Friday evenning, took a half hour nap and woke to the screams of FIRE! Our neighbors garage was engulfed in flames a lot of combustible things kept exploding! My husband is hobbling out the door (he has a bad back and knees) and I am following after him trying to get the kinks out of the water hose (in my housedress no bra) my other son was calling 911 emergency, then I am running to the neighbors yelling fire and getting more hoses out, my neighbor accidently turned the hose on me (wet front) not a pretty sight
Our houses are older and wood, a lot of trees and low hanging wires. Well the fire dept came and put it out toot sweet such handsome men
All the neighbors were pulling together, it did my heart good to see this, the young men whose garage caught fire are fine, a new $70,000 dune buggy is not
My brother in law calls to tell me he wants to go back to Santa Barbara with me in the morning to get the car. We did, on Saturday and came back the same day, sigh.
And Then on Sunday at around 5pm, son calls to say he is stuck up in L.A  "can you come get me mom?" I did.
I am plumb wore out

Hi all, years ago I used to wet felt. Now I finally tried needlefelting, a kit I've had for almost a year. It was a bird but you made a form from muslin and felted over it. I didn't make it, just used the wool and needle
Alrighty then! This is a wonderful thing   What is a good way to joint the arms and legs?
I am rather excited, I don't quite know where to start, I sucessfully made a arm, leg, and ear,  Can you needlefelt the ear to a mohair head?
Bobbie, is your website going to have pictures soon?
So many questions, if I waited til I organized my head I would never post! So forgive the rambling.
Dorothy

Santa  makes a list with people on it...
Dorothy
p.s I hug trees too
