Seriously need someone's help.....

The past week has been very difficult for me... and as it is getting closer to the weekend it is proceeding to get worse.

The beginning of the week started with my oldest daughter requesting to go live with her dad. I reluctantly agreed only for the summer. (this tore me up)

Then yesterday, more stepson issues to the point I was really having problems.

Now comes the kicker.

We had gotten approval for a loan modification after fighting for a year and a half... although, it is still a little high, since i still have not been able to find work. Being under the understanding that there would be a month before the new amount went into affect. (we were under the understanding that we had the option of paying June's mortgage or having a free month so to speak)

So I had arranged everything to where we would use the free month to pay off debt to better our credit. Only to find out that we do not get a free month to pay off bills. So the normal monthly bills I put off to line the mortgage payment to the correct paycheck. Only to now realize that those normal monthly bills are going be very late or some utilities shut off.

SO here is where I say I need someone's help..... I have the following for sale and need your help to either purchase the items or pass this on to others....

A little late but still a goodie

I finally got my mommy day gift finished for my mother.

I was not real sure how I would like it, as the picture that came with the Mill Hill Kit just did not do it justice. As I worked on it I started loving it more and more.

I hope my mother likes it and hope that you will enjoy seeing it as well.

First picture is the box put together.














Second picture is the box open with lid leaning on the bottom of box.










This is a picture showing the beading from the side.


This is a picture of inside the lid.
This is cut from the pattern page. (not off the original pattern but off my working copy.)

Update on sister.

I know this is not a lot of information but this is what I know of so far about the house she is getting....

She says "I am still awaiting the final written contract on the house. We have a verbal acceptance, for whatever that means. Signed another contract they wanted us to sign, but have not received back any signatures."

I am still praying this goes through for her.
