As you have noticed, those of you that follow this blog, I have been "MIA" for quite a while. I post more regularly on my new blog <a href="http://www.teresakogut.com/">www.teresakogut.com</a> so please join me over there :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My last post was August 2014.....so much has happened since then. The last half of 2014 was not so good. My sweet endearing Dad fought and lost his battle with cancer Dec 18th and life as I knew it will never be the same. I have never experience that deep deep grief. I am doing better these days but I think of him throughout every day and visit him in my dreams. I am blessed to have my faith to lean on and help me through such devastating life events. I seriously don't know how people without faith cope. A few weeks ago I attended another family member's funeral and the pastor said something that really stuck with me, "Grieve, but don't grieve like those without hope". I have hope. Hope to see my Dad again one day in paradise. I miss him terribly but I know he's right where God wants him; at rest, in peace, with Him.</div>

In January of 2015, Dawn and Dick Rossell, shopkeepers of Holly Hills Primitives (HHP), asked if I would like to open a "shop within a shop". I immediately said YES! They also invited Kris Miller of Spruce Ridge Studios to do the same so now Kris and I share a large room inside HHP. Below are some photos of our new shop!</div>

Every summer for the past 9 or 10 years (we haven't, so far, been able to figure out what year we started doing this) several of us escape to northern Michigan for a few days of fun and relaxation.
Kevin and I are very blessed to have many great friends to share this thing called life. Wikipedia states it perfectly:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between two or more people. Friendship is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an association. A World Happiness Database study found that people with close friendships are happier.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although there are many forms of friendship, some of which may vary from place to place, certain characteristics are present in many types of friendship. Such characteristics include affection, sympathy, empathy, honesty, altruism, mutual understanding and compassion, enjoyment of each other's company, <b>trust, and the ability to be oneself, express one's feelings, and make mistakes without fear of judgment from the friend</b>."</div>

<span style="color: #cc0000;">HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KYLE! </span></h2>
<br />
Twenty one years ago, God blessed us with our first-born son. We've been through many ups and downs but we came out the other side closer than if we hadn't went through all that we did. I thank God every day for our children. They make my life complete.<br />

Well friends, it's with a heavy heart that I tell you we lost our little sweet kitty yesterday. She was with us for 20 years! She will be missed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She joined our family as a stray when Kyle was about 2 years old, so we really don't know how hold she was. I had never had a cat before so she hung out a few days in the tree in our side yard until we made a decision whether to keep her or not. We just couldn't resist her cuteness so decided to make her part of the family. I didn't know if she had fleas, ticks or any other "issues" so we kept her outside one more night until I could take her to the vet the next morning. Well, overnight she got in a tussle with some other creature because she had a puncture wound at the base of her tail....which made her tail curl up like a pug's tail, haha! It was one of her cute traits. My uncle came to visit from Missouri a few years after we had her and asked me, "What's your cat's name, Seymour Butts?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Which brings me to the next oddity about our little kitty. Her name was Kitty Girl....I know, original, huh? Well, that's what she would come to when she was a stray for those few days before joining the family. We thought and thought of other names but she would only acknowledge "Kitty Girl". (how many other cats do you know that got to choose their own name?) However, at the vet's office she was known as "Mittens" because I felt silly having them call her Kitty Girl! lol. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She really was a sweet kitty...kind to everyone...well except Buster. She would swat at him if he got to close, but all along, I think that was her way of playing with him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know when we get to heaven, we will see all of our beloved pets again. What a joyous occasion that will be <3 p=""><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Blessings,</div>

Ok....it's official....I am a sap. This video moved me to tears. The element of surprise and generosity truly overwhelmed me! What an amazing idea and even more amazing that they could pull something of this magnitude off in such a short amount of time.</div>

Hope your Christmas season is going well! We still haven't finished decorating and I have only bought one gift so far! Having a show this late in the year is just too much. It's put me waaaaaay behind schedule. .....breathe deep </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Designing new punchneedle patterns for the Nashville TNNA market held Feb 2014! My goal is 12 new punchneedle patterns, 12 new cross stitch patterns and many new hooked rug patterns as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is a sampling of the new punchneedle patterns that I will be offering. Having a blast designing and punching!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also working on getting all the patterns over to my blog <a href="http://teresakogut.com/">teresakogut.com</a>. I had set up the pattern site with <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/patternsbyteresakogut/" target="_blank">Google sites</a> before I designed my current blog. Come to find out the Google site can only be so large and I have exceeded the limit so I can't add any more patterns!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really want everything in one spot anyway so this just forces me to make it happen...before Feb! No rest for the weary :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have a great day my friends!</div>

Spent last week with three of my favorite gals on our 19th annual "Shop Across America" (which is only Ohio! lol) For the past 19 years we have taken 4-6 days out of the years to spend stopping at every antique and country gift shoppe we can find.....thanks to the Country Register, antique brochures and kind shop keepers that guide our trip.</div>

This was so amazing...I got chill bumps! The song, the music, the voice and the beat is incredible but what struck me the <u>most</u> is out of all those kids...for the length of that song they were <i><b>ONE</b></i>.<br />
<br />
They were working together...they were all NEEDED to make it work....they put aside their differences and became one for the sake of music.....simply beautiful.<br />

Have you ever met a group of ladies that you instantly became friends with and as you visit and get to know one another, you realize they love everything you love, they love to shop at the same antique and primitive shops you do, so on and so on?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, I am blessed to have become friends with the Holly Hookers! Dawn Rossell of Holly Hills Primitives in Holly, Michigan hosts a weekly rug hooking gathering at her wonderfully primitive shop. I make it out to visit and work on my punchneedle as much as possible....I wish I could go every week! It's good medicine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This week as we were all working (not that it's work in the least) and talking it seemed everything someone said, someone else could relate to. Or someone would mention an antique store in Ohio and three others would say, "oh yeah, I love that shop" or do you know so and so? Oh yeah she........</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was awesome. It made the world seem small. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks ladies for being so welcoming, thanks for the good conversations and thanks for just being YOU! </div>

Blessings,<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We lost our beloved Buster early last Monday morning. He was only 9, but those years were so full of fun and love. I have never met a dog quite like Buster. Boxers are notorious for thinking they are human and they are certainly the most humorous dog breed I've ever come across as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buster had a host of health issues in his short life. His spine was fusing together so he got to where he couldn't run and play like he use to. He was on steroids for a couple of years to help him with the pain and in the meantime contracted a bone infection that went on and on. He was on an antibiotic for over a year as well. Every time the antibiotic would run out, he would get sick.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently, though, we had renewed hope for Buster. We took him off the steroid because he had gained a lot of weight and was constantly hungry...plus, we knew his body needed a break from the drug. Since he was off the steroid, the antibiotic worked and the bone infection disappeared! He was in good health and he didn't seem to be in pain so we left him off the steroid.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few months of being drug-free, he had a seizure. It was a short one, but scary nonetheless. However, last Sunday night, he had a seizure that he never came out of. It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed and the feeling of helplessness was overwhelming. It was midnight Sunday night and we struggled to find a vet at that late hour. Without going into details, it was all Buster could take and he had to leave us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many of you have pets that you love like children and you can relate to my pain while others may think I'm being ridiculous, but either way, I want to share some "Buster moments" with you....partly as a healing process for me but also to share with you the wonderful life Buster gave to his family.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>When Buster was just a puppy, he was standing on the porch at my studio and a leaf fell from the tree and landed in front of him. He quickly backed up and started lunging at it barking as if it was something dangerous.</li>
<li>He would chase and jump at the red dot from the laser light...cutest thing ever ;) </li>
<li>When Daisy would bark at someone going down the road, Buster would push her out of the way and bark at her as if to say, "back up, I got this"</li>
<li>When the car alarm or smoke detector would go off, Buster would howl like a wolf.</li>
<li>Buster use to attack the vacuum.</li>
<li>Buster would unwrap his own Christmas presents.</li>
<li>He snored like an adult man! </li>
<li>Buster always had to have a paw on you while you were petting him.</li>
<li>He would jump like a bunny when he barked.</li>
<li>When I would get up in the morning, he would pace the floor behind me while I made coffee because he couldn't wait to be fed.......and if I sleep a little too late, he would paw at our bedroom door.</li>
<li>In the morning while I would get ready for the day, Buster would follow me from room to room waiting for me so he could "go to work" with me.</li>
<li>He knew when it was 5pm......his tummy would tell him so and he would start pestering me to go up to the house to be fed.</li>
<li>He had a pink pig squeaker and we would say "I'm goona get that squeaker" and he would whine and howl.....it never got old.....one of the most fun things we did with him.</li>
<li>He loved to snuggle.</li>
<li>My friend, Renee, was dog-setting Buster and Daisy at her house a few years back in the wintertime. In the morning, she got up to let her dog and ours outside. Sebastian and Daisy took off outside and Buster stopped and looked at her as if to say "really? but it's so cold outside" so she closed the door and he jumped on her bed so they could snuggle. (this story always cracks me up because we never let our dogs on the furniture, so he just loved his Renee)</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The stories could go on and on......I may add more as I remember them just so we will never forget. I didn't realize at the time how much his presence at work meant to me. I am often by myself at the studio but Buster's breathing (and snoring) kept me company. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I take comfort in the fact that we will see Buster again some day....along with our other faithful companions. Even though it's very sad when they are gone, I always say, "I'd rather have loved and lost than to never have loved at all." </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Enjoy every moment with your furry friends and more importantly, your family and friends. You never know when the good Lord will call them home.</div>

My Uncle JR and Buster. This was November 2004 when we were in Missouri for Thanksgiving. My cousin Shelly and her husband, Harold, bred boxers. Buster was a pup in the last litter before Harold passed away.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have you ever had one of those days? It seemed like the universe was working against me! (when in reality it was my attitude and negativity feeding the misery) For starters, I woke up at 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. So I decided to get the day going and discovered my internet was down...piddled around with that for a while with no luck. As the day progressed, I became more ill. Allergies were taking hold of me and my eyes watered and itched, my throat was scratchy and I was drained of all energy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's the clincher.....my finger was shut in the truck door! What a strange feeling of helplessness that was. My hubby and son were unloading something from the truck at a friends house and I stayed in the truck (wallowing in my self-pity - I can say that today and laugh). I had my hand over my head, not realizing Ryan had left his door open and evidently my finger was in the door frame. He jumped in and shut the door. It took a couple seconds for it to hit but I screamed loudly and quickly, "my finger, my finger, my finger!!!" Ryan suddenly realized what was happening and he opened the door. He felt so bad but I told him it wasn't his fault. Today you wouldn't know anything ever happened to my finger other than a little swelling. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? When something hurts THAT bad, I want to see black and blue with gnarly swelling! lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, as you can imagine, I couldn't wait for the day to be over. But then I remembered ....... Nashville season premiere was coming on at 10pm. So I laid in bed, eyes watering and red until to watch the program...hubby would nudge me when I'd doze off here and there but I saw most of it.</div>
<br />
<br />
What a difference a day makes. Today I feel much better (thank you NyQuil), my finger looks good and my attitude is back in check.<br />
<br />
Blessings to you all,<br />

Loved meeting these gals, Kerry McCann and Marie Faren. They had some great primitives and antiques. Talking with Marie, we found common ground...Seville Antiques in Seville Ohio! Jann, Linda, Debbie and I have been there many times during our annual "shop across America" trip. (which only includes Ohio, lol!) Marie has a booth at Seville Antiques....what a small world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, Kerry hosts an amazing show at her farm the third weekend of June and third weekend of October. She brought a photo book from her past shows.....it looks AMAZING! She invited us to bring our goodies to her next show....definitely thinking about it. To find out more, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WhisperingPinesPA" target="_blank">go here</a>.</div>

Wojo's had a booth, too. If this doesn't get you in the mood for fall....nothing will :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sorry I didn't get photos of all the booths! If I missed yours, I apologize. I couldn't get out much because I had to "man" my own booth but there were many more amazing people I wish I could've included here. <br />
<br />
A big thank you also goes to my best buddy, Linda, for helping me during the show. I was on my own most of the day and she would come over from Wren in the Willow's booth if she saw I needed help. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was truly one of the best shows we've ever done. There were carriage rides, folk music playing, good food (which was also a fundraiser for abused children), great vendors, and very well organized. After the show some of the vendors met at Bittersweet Cafe for a bite to eat and just to get to know each other - that was a nice perk. Dawn and Dick thought of everything! Congratulations to you both!</div>
<br />
Looking forward to their next show :)<br />
Blessings,<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm baaaaaaack! I moved my personal blog over to my other site a few months back but I didn't keep it up as much over there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sooooo.....(as if I need one more thing to do) I decided to start blogging here again!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This post is dedicated to my friend Dawn Rossell of <a href="http://hollyhillsprimitives.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Holly Hills Primitives</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She and Dick, her husband, are the shopkeepers of a beautiful shop in Holly, Michigan in the town's old mill. Dawn creates stitchery that she adheres to old antiques and pieces of wood, while Dick creates AMAZING primitive furniture for the store.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I met Dawn last fall. Peggy Meganck of Wren in the Willow is a mutual friend of ours. Dawn and I were "fluffing" Christmas trees for Peggy's home show. (It was truly amazing how she transformed her house into a country store!) Dawn and I chatted while getting the trees ready and became fast friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dawn hosts a weekly hook-in with several sweet ladies at her shop every Wednesday. I have had the pleasure to attend a few of these hook-ins. I LOVE to see the amazing work these ladies are doing and I leave so inspired and uplifted! Like I said yesterday while visiting them "this is good medicine".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pictured above is Sue, Sheila and Sally. Also in weekly attendance is Sue, Pat, Bobbie and Bonnie. I thoroughly enjoy visiting with these ladies...wish I could go every week!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you to Dawn for hosting this hook-in every week. You are a gem!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, in case you hadn't heard yet, Holly Hills Primitives is hosting "Harvest at the Mill" on Sept 7 from 10-4! Tons of primitives with vendors from 9 different states! Sure to be a blast. Don't miss it!</div>

you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. Despite the 40 degree

Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. Despite the 40 degree temperature, we had a great time. Stayed indoors and played cards most the of the afternoon. I am truly blessed with the best Mom ever and with some pretty awesome and very fun-loving boys. We missed you, Briahnna!</div>
