Miniatures and COVID

 Hello Everybody.

Hope this email finds you all well.

I have had a very rough beginning for this year of 2021. 

Caught Covid and had a lot of bad days. 

Am sure Covid was/is trying to kill me I guess. 

Like many others I lost my sense of smell and taste but 

with me everything tasted like metal including the water.

 Found that the only water I could drink was regular

cold water from the refrigerator. 

Lost my appetite and lost 29 pds (not by choice).

Losing the weight was the only benefit from it.

Got thru that, however the side effects still have been

playing havoc with me, giving me high blood pressure

and blurriness in my eyes. Thus preventing me from

doing alot. Have had many, many doctor appointments

and follow-up appointments

every month checking my heart and everything else. 

I got my first Moderna shot last month and it made me feel bad, it

put me back down in the bed - took 4 days to get

over that shot. Mostly it was fatigue and chills.

My hair has always been thick and now it has been

thinning at an alarming rate and coming out in handfuls 

every day. This is scary!! 

In 2 days I get the 2nd shot and hope that I can scout

thru this one easily with no side effects. 

It is only now that I feel better enough to start back

blogging. Hopefully, I am looking forward to getting back 

to normal and working/playing with my miniatures again. 

But, Covid has made me very slow at making anything.

I do have a lot of things to show you that I was doing before 

Covid. 

My little white Christmas room box is not decorated because the items

to go in there did not fit, so I have had to re-think its contents. 

Meanwhile I would love to show you what the talented Isabel

of  https://miniaturasisabelruiz.blogspot.com/

made and sent to me. 

I love sewing items! In early January I commented on her blog

how I loved her little cross-stitched kits. They were adorable!!!

Look at what this lovely lady sent to me! 

(CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF THESE DOUBLE SPACES

BETWEEN THE SENTENCES!!!)


OHMYGOODNESS!!!!

Isabel surely did brighten my day when I received

a package from her.

I LOVE, Love these little sewing kits!

She even has my picture of me and my dog Curry

on them!!! 

This is so dear to my heart!!

I have been showing these to everyone that I know!!



OHMY!! I just adore the little crocheted dog!!!
Look how tiny she is!!
Everyone I have show her to - loves her!!


Say hello to Roz.

Thank you so much Isabel!!!

I love all of it!!!



My sister sent me a lovely bouquet made of

card when I had Covid. 

These are so cute!!!

They are from LOVEPOP!

Thank you Lori!!!


Thank you all for visiting me.
Please stay safe

    1. Thank you so much Marilyn. However the side effects are still haunting me - fatique mostly with some covid brain. Would love for that to go away.

  4. Oh Conny! I am so sad to hear about the Covid ordeal you've had to endure, but so happy to know you are on the mend and kicking Covid's butt! The things from Isabel are so touching and wonderfully made, and your sister's paper bouquet so cheerful! I hope you get back to your projects soon and can share more triumphs!
