Week 46: ~ Faith(ful)

Focus on Life week 46   Ugh..   That means there are only 6 weeks left in 2014 where did it go?
What does Faith(ful) mean....
:loyal, constant, and steadfast.
:having a strong belief 
"The toughest thing to do sometimes is have faith.  Faith in yourself, your path in this big crazy world.  We get so down on ourselves and its tough to climb out of the hole.  This week we will focus on being full of faith and  happy with our everyday lives."

Anyone who follows/friend-ed me on FB will be familiar with the following image..  I have enameled copper poppies in my etsy store  Nov 10 I had a custom order for 8 red poppies with black centers... The woman thought she was ordering something from the image in the store... she wasn't but I had faith that I could figure out how to do the order  and this is what I made....
"Least we Forget"

The same day at supper I got a call out of the blue from a store that I used to make stained glass birds for in the 90's wanting an order  I haven't made any of them for over 5 years but the glass is still in the dungeon so that's where I'll be for the next couple of weeks...  Our basement is really damp and unheated and as the snow falls outside the window I'd even rather be shoveling the driveway then stuck in the dungeon making birds... but I said I would do it and have the order shipped by Dec 1... & I know my faithful companion will not help.... She'll wonder why I am ignoring her .... while she sleeps in front of the oil stove....
Faith (less) Companion !

  Off to play in the dungeon!

Hope you're able to complete the birds in time without getting hypothermia in your basement! Your kitty looks like our Molly-cat - she wouldn't venture into a cold basement either!!
Sending warm (if damp) love and hugs from England (it's been raining for 3 days straight!) xx

I just love your poppies and I was expecting a post about Veteran's day, (even though they are a Memorial Day symbol!) I do love the idea of keeping faith that you can create things that you created before!

Congrats on your orders, even if one has you subterranean for a bit. Loved the comment about faith(less) kitty. They are creatures of comfort but I'm sure she is still faithful in her own way. Love the poppies! How bright and cheerful.

I'm sorry you have to spend your days in the dungeon, but pretty cool that you got the order!
