Quote I dislike


I absolutely obiminate the quote “Everything Happens for a Reason”.  That is a most disturbing quote and “NO” absolutely not - does everything happens for a reason!

Their are things that happen to people that this quote should never be used in correlation with. Every time I hear this quote I cringe with disgust. 

Instead I have used the quote “ What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” because life can knock you down and sometimes you wonder if you will ever be able to get back up- and when that time comes- and you are back on your feet. 

You realize that you are stronger than you thought - or you know that you have to be strong for your loved ones. Because you and HOW you react to life experiences causes a trickle effect upon the rest of the family- especially those closest to you.  If you really love your family- you hold it together, because things DO get better with time. The scars will always be there but they will fade.

Fidget Blanket (Fummeldecke) Ideas

This will be my first time ever making a fidget blanket- I was so happy to have the opportunity today to gift my Oma a fidget blanket. I love her with all my heart, it just makes me so sad that not much can be done for her while struggling through dementia. She told me it was beautiful and she appeared to like it. I showed her each square and what she can do with it. The first thing she noticed was the wording; „Mit Liebe Gemacht“ which translates to „Made with love“.  Oma Hildegard is German and I wanted to make sure she would recognize things and always remember that we love her.  What is a Fidget Blanket?

These items offer sensory stimulation that can have a calming effect on patient who struggle with memory loss. The Fidget blankets help them stay busy avoiding boredom. It provides a means of performing repetitive behaviors that are often reassuring and calming. ...

Diamonds Are Forever Quilt Block

Saw this pattern on Facebook and Pinterest, so I eyed the pattern and came up with my own measurements. Supposedly... this is a old pattern. It caught my attention because it uses remnants of fabric and I hate seeing things go to waste. This project uses a dryer sheet. So... save your dryer sheets!  Cut a piece of paper and dryer sheet to 6.5” square.  Find the 2” width and mark with line.  Draw a line on the left and right to the bottom center.  Cut out pattern piece.  Cut a rectangular piece of fabric for the center piece. 3” x 9.5” Place pattern piece on top of the fabric and cut to size. I used symmetrical patterns / colors on each side of the diamond. The width of fabric was 1/2” - 2”, s and used scrap triangle pieces for the ends.  Watch short video clip „ here “ Finished block size should be 6.5“ Very similar to endless chain:
