Quiet Monday so far after a rather unpleasant Sunday night family meeting. My sister (who shall heretofore be known as Aunt Sciatica because she's such an enormous pain in my heiney) better get her act together quickly, or methinks she and Bosco will be living in the Hundai.
Sheesh...if this is some kind of test...I fail.
Epically.
The purple flower is my favorite so far too. My eye went right to it :) Little sisters can be a handful sometimes! I guess us big sisters can have our moments too though ;)
ReplyDeleteEh, keep Bosco. He can't help who his mommy is. Little sisters are pains. I know. Mine stopped talking to me last Christmas. Btw..the most quiet winter/spring ever. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteConi, mayhaps YOU are passing the test and SHE is the one failing.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin....
Anyone that can make those flowers come to life with ribbon and stitches is A-OK in my book ;)
This is one of the greatest pieces you have done. Every time I see it I like it more. Perhaps your sister could go live with my pain in the heiney cousin. Sounds like they have much in common.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous flowers you have created, Coni! I agree with Maureen about you passing the test in this leg of your life's journey. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteDon't give up just yet. Please find a consular to help sort out this mess. From your pass blogs, you have shown how much she means to you. After consoling then a decision for the two of you needs to be made.
ReplyDeleteBeen there and have benefited from it. No, we don't have anything to do with each other now, but I gave it a good try and don't look back with regrets.
I didn't speak with my brother for a long time. I ended that silence when he was diagnosed with cancer but still had unresolved problems. I volunteered to stay with him so his wife and kids could visit her family for a few days. That time spent with him was what we needed to make peace. It was very special and I'm so glad we did. He passed away 8 years ago and I'm so thankful we had made our peace. We had a knock down drag out fight prior to that which was just awful. There is hope for you and your sister!
ReplyDeleteFamilies can be really tough.....we can choose our friends but not our families....love you "garden"
ReplyDeleteConi, I feel your pain. The only response I have is - sending prayers. Cathryn
ReplyDeleteLove the stitching! My sister is my best friend and my worst enemy. I think we have known each other too long and been too close. We each know the other's buttons and push them freely. But, in the end we make up and enjoy each other. I don't know what I'd do without her. Just glad she doesn't live with me. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful; how do you plan to exhibit it? I understand about the sister. I have an older one who is a 'unmedicated bipolar'. After 54 years, we (including my brother) don't talk at all for all of the off-the-wall things that she has done and said. You know what they say, "you can't choose family".
ReplyDeleteConi, my mom came to live with me, we gladly welcomed her. After several months of her constant drama she announced two weeks ago that she was moving out. She stood in front of me and told me she knew she was a pain in the ass and was proud of it. She told me was wanted to move out on Sunday and I had her packed and gone Friday. You can love them, but you can't make them lovable.
ReplyDeleteHugs.
ReplyDeleteSisters can be difficult for sure. I have an older one. I don't think we could ever live together, we'd drive each other crazy for sure!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain with your sis! For years my little sis just kept making poor choices over and over and over, which really hurt my mom. However, the past couple of years I am beginning to think she might have grown up!! I am not sure we will ever be best buddies, but things seem to be improving. However, I am not sure we could EVER live together--too much drama. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun project! I love your work!
ReplyDeleteI miss my sister - she passed away unexpectedly 5 years ago. So please work things out with your sister!
