It's been a while

2009-10-18T01:08:00.003-06:00

It has been a while since I have posted.. spending too much time on FB. hmmm what to post. Well, I am still doing vinyl, and if anyone is interested in gifts for Christmas or anytime, e-mail me or leave a comment. There are many ideas and vinyl is fun for any occasion as well as home decor. Good on tiles, wood, walls, glass, ornaments.. Let me know I have posted a couple of ideas that I have done lately. Also, I have been sewing and have made a few cute pillows also some purses * small quilts, that look cute as wall hangings. I will take orders for most anything. thanks for looking. :)

Haircut

2009-10-18T01:01:00.003-06:00

Kevin cut my hair, it finally has some sort of style. He did a good job, maybe we will send him to beauty school and we can open a Husband and wife salon!! ;) He probably would be very good at it as he is a perfectionist. I will give him all the precision cuts.. After looking at the picture.. maybe I'll send him to plastic surgeon school!! I think that I need help more in that area than anyting :( I didn' t realize my face was going to be in this picute so much or I would havde at least smiled.. sorrry...

Yo Yo pillow top

2009-10-18T00:56:00.001-06:00

This is a pillow top made by sewing yo yo's together to the size desired. the yo yo's are made from circles and done by hand. Time consuming but a lot of fun!

I love to sew when I get the chance, this is a flag, I made the money for the fabric went to toward donations for the soldiers. The other is a little sampler of a pattern called thimbles. Also, there is a glass block with vinyl on it.

Vinyl on Tiles

2009-10-18T00:47:00.004-06:00

This is some more vinyl on a tile, they are easy to display and fill a empty corner or spot. Also on blocks or wood always are easy and look great!

1 year to Celebrate

2009-08-18T01:47:00.009-06:00

These are some from when I was having my radiation treatments. You can see how I layed in what they call a cradle and every day I would go in and lay down in the cradle and get burned!!. My skin was so raw.. and burnt. It is just all part of the process to getting rid of the Cancer. Also, Kerstin did the Cancer walk in my honor. It is such a great cause and I am so grateful to all those who take time out of their lives to bennefit others who can't do it for themselves. LIVE STRONG!! Lance Armstrong

One yr ago

2009-08-18T01:16:00.004-06:00

Yes, it has been 1 year since I finished my Chemotherapy and radiation treatments for Breast Cancer.Here are some pictures of last year and how far I have come in that time. I have much to be grateful for and especially for the constant love and support from Kevin.He took such good care of me and made sure I was as comfortable as possible during a difficult time for both of us. He would lay beside me and keep me warm. I also have the best kids in the world. I was so lucky to get a daily phone call from them to let me know they loved me and were hoping I was ok.. They are the BEST!!

The Leadville 100 bike race

2009-08-17T00:43:00.005-06:00

We had a great weekend. It was the Leadville 100 bike race. First we had the pleasure of picking up T.J. Bates and his co-pilot Rex Shupe at the Leadville airport (yes we have a airport).The first picture is Kevin sitting on the steps of the airplane T.J. flew in to Leadville. Someone had hired them for a Charter flight. They flew in a family of a gentleman that competed in the race. So, long story short. T.J and Rex stayed at our house and went on their own bike ride around Turquoise Lake. We went to dinner at mine and Kevin's favorite Italian resaurant. We had a nice visit. Then on Sat. They all went down and Kevin took them around and watched the race. There were over 1500 bikers that participated. Lance Armstrong was one of them and Kevin got some great shots of him, they were able to follow him and see his amazing ability and talent of riding a bike. Lance has been an inspiration to me, I have read several of his books... he is awesome, and makes the ride look simple. Anyway, Lance won the race. He beat the previous years record by 17 min. He rode the 100 mile race in 6hrs 28min. In this altitude and the type of terrain they go through it is a very difficult race. They get up to altitudes of over 12000 feeet.!!! LIVE STRONG!!!

Been a while...

2009-08-17T00:41:00.001-06:00

I haven't posted for a while. I have really been enjoying facebook. I have met up with some people from many years ago. It has been a lot of fun. I have a lot of pics posted on my facebook page as well. I am under the name Stacey Webster Belcher. Check out some of my postings.

Finally Summer

2009-06-27T21:45:00.001-06:00

We finally have some summer here. It still is cool we haven't even seen 70's yet. This is a picture of the Columbines (Colorado State Flower) in our yard. They are so beautiful. They are everywhere. The one has dandylions. I actually like them. Our yard is a very wild growing variety of flowers. I love wild flowers anyway. So, to me I love the variety our yard has.

The vintage bike for the "Vintage" Woman

2009-06-13T00:30:00.004-06:00

OK, so Kevin has been wanting me to get a bike and go Mt. biking with him for quite some time now. So, I said "ok" as long as I can get the bike of my choice. The BLUE bike is cute right? Well, needless to say the bike I chose is NOT meant for Leadville type of biking. I don't care: it is so cute and when I get my basket on I will have a pic of me and my basket of flowers, going on our bike ride. The dogs love it because they can run right along with us. Now,for me well...... I get very much out of breath 1st because we are up so high and second I dont' have the right kind of bike. OH well it is so cute.
OH and p.s. If it would ever stop raining here maybe I will be able to use the bike. So, stay tuned.... you are in for a real treat :)

Vase with a new twist (or wrap)

2009-06-13T00:25:00.002-06:00

I love this idea because don't we all have left over vases?? From our wonderful caring (;0) husbands? well I have several of these. so, I thought this gave it a cute cottage look, I will get my flowers in this and post it when I have it in is't new spot. But, I wanted to share this and how easy it was to do.

What a Great chair

2009-05-16T22:16:00.002-06:00

Speaking of Vintage, Is this not the cutest settee' (Love seat) EVER I just love it, Someone took an old quilt and recovered the settee' The pattern is called Dresden Plate 30's 40's era. I am in the process of making one with the same pattern, It is done by using the english paper piecing method. ALL by hand like the one I made out of the hexigons. What a fun way to quilt and piece.

Vintage tea pot and cake platter

2009-05-15T06:36:00.003-06:00

I don't usually post pictures of my decor, but this is something so cute and special I just had to post so Jason and Kerstin could see the new home I found for the darling Mother's day gift I received from them. I just love it!! I already had the scales, and have been looking for a cake platter (from the 30's 40's era) The platter and teapot go perfect in my kitchen. Thanks again.

Jared's Soccer Quilt

2009-05-06T14:18:00.004-06:00

This is the ONLY pic I took of the quilt I made for Jared, (I can't believe I didn't think to take one when I finished it.) I just forget:)Chemo Brain!
Anyway, I took most of his old soccer jerseys and printed a few pics on some. Then I just created a quilt from them, and for the back I used his very favorite blanket,(everyones favorite) a quilt made for me 30yrs ago by his great grandmother petersen. So, needless to say it turned out great! It is more of a sentimental quilt than a prize. I am so glad I could do it for him. I presented it to him at his wedding dinner, that was held at the Lion House in SLC. Here is a copy of the poem I wrote to go with the Quilt.
Jared,

As a small baby I held you in my arms,

Then off with your Grandpa, "up to the farm".

Now before us is an adult with a life full of hopes & dreams.

How did it go by so fast? It was just yesterday, Or so it seems.

Your infectious spirit gives us all much pleasure,

The blessings you have given are way beyond measure.

All of the memories this quilt holds...each and every block has a story to be told.

Keep it in your home, on a wall, or on your bed,

The love that was put into this goes without being said.

All of your Trophies, Victories, and tears of defeat, are sewn together for you to keep.

Thank you for all the memories and fun you have shared!

For those who know and love you nothing can compare!!

Love,

Mom

Fun,Fun,Fun in the Snow!

2009-02-17T20:58:00.005-07:00

I just wanted to share with you the beautiful place I work. Nova Guides has so many activities and adventures that we sell everyday. They decided that is was time for me to experience first hand what I am selling to so many people. So, off I went into the wild blue yonder. I went on a snowmobile tour which goes up to 12,500 feet. You get to see the Continental Divide, some of the highets peaks in colorado, also the White River National Forest, and a lot of wild life. Not to mention the speed on a snowmobile. It was so much fun! There are so many people from back East, and all over the world that come here to experience the mountains and to partake in the beauty that is all around us here in Colorado. There are many celebrities, I have a few pics of them. I also have some pics of the Lodge and the cabins that anyone can stay in while here at Camp Hale. (a base camp for the soldiers in WWII) There is also some pics of the dogsledding tours we do here. The dogsledding sells out almost everyday! People come here and spend thousands of dollars to experience the fun and exciting things in Vail as well as all the activities the Nova has to offer: rafting, Jeep tours, Hummer tours, ATV tours, Fishing, Snowmobiling, Snowcoach, and much more. I hope you enjoy these pics.

The new announcement

2009-01-30T01:03:00.002-07:00

Congratulations to Jared and Jenny.. hmmmm another "J" to add to the kids.. welcome Jenny!!!

Something to think, feel and have gratitude

2009-01-18T21:58:00.003-07:00

Grattitude, Feelings, & Thoughts
Gratitude.. I know many of you take pictures to share what you see, maybe in the future I will post more pics, but for now my camera is my heart and the words I type, I hope you enjoy the pics I have taken with my own "camera" :)
I just wanted to express my gratitude to those who have walked in my honor this past year. With all the Breast Cancer walks for the cure, I feel very blessed and special to know I was thought about and prayed for by so many people. Thanks to Kerstin for her walk in S.L.C. I want you all to know I have signed up with Reese Witherspoon for the AVON walk for Breast Cancer. By walking they raise so much money for research as well as helping those in need. I have been a recipient, and because of so many men women and children donating their time and energy, it saves lives and helps so many people that coudn't help themselves. NOW, it is my turn to give back. I have made some small quilt wall hangings that I have donated to local libraries, and they see to it that they get to the right places. It is not much on my part, but I hope to do more. There are really no words to truly do justice to how I feel. My experience has changed my perspective in almost all things. To look in the mirror and see your soul, with no hair, and to loose your dignity is "Life Changing" so I either begin to see myself and others as the Savior see me.. or get lost in the monetary world we all see before us. Then are fooled to believe it is what we all want and desire.I know I try to be aware of how I spend my time and thoughts. I know for myself I want peace within my heart and soul. I want my children to have peace hope and a broader knowledge of what is in store for us all. I know I have a lot to learn and have much growing to do, to better myself. I hope when I forget my tender most heart felt moments , that I will be nudged to realize what is really important and why we are here. I must say to my children (ALL OF YOU) that I love you and I am so blessed to have you all in my life. You are all such good people despite your trials and hardships thus far in your lives. I am so proud of you and all you stand for & all you have accomplished. Continue to be the people you are and turn to our Savior in all things. Thank you to Kevin for being my strength when I was soo weak, and for your continued support in my life.I know this is long, but it is what is in my heart.

Some fun things to see & do

2009-01-13T19:16:00.004-07:00

Ok, so I have been lurking on many blogs the past few days, This past yr and yes it has been 1 yr ago I was diagnosed w/ Cancer. I coulnd't focus on anything for more than 5 min. I was so sick and also had many things on my mind. For 2009, I am feeling better and can focus and do things once again. My energy level and brain is coming back s l o w l y...... :)
So, from my searching and gettting many people looking on my blog, I thought I would have some fun things to do as you are spending time at "MY COTTAGE". So, please enjoy, I see a lot of people going "private" for whatever reasons (dont' know) but, since I don't have any small children or anything to hide. I hope to share a lot of things with anyone who wants to join in. I would love feedback or ideas. I hope to continue to meet new and interesting people. I feel we all can learn from each other. I hope to share ideas, books, lifes ups and downs... Thanks for looking and also for sharing... Have a blessed and hopeful 2009.. I say..."Things will be fine in '09"

What I do Please join me

When I am not working, I love to sew or read. I am reading a book right now that is called EAT, PRAY, LOVE. It is so good. I am almost done. It is a book that gives me hope, and also insight into life and our possibilities and potential that is in each of us. I also am reading another group of books called Lumby. It is a 2nd book in a series of 3. It is a fun book and very light hearted about a small town and all the funny things that happen to these people that live there. It reminds me of where we live and also where I grew up. Let me know what you are reading and also your thoughts on books any of you are reading. Let's pass on the love of reading as well as sewing. I am finishing Jared's quilt with all his soccer uniforms. What a challenge it has been.

Jess & Jared

2009-01-12T20:22:00.003-07:00

These pics didn't turn out very well, I took them from a pic on the wall. But, these are just the cutest pics of them. I wanted them on with the one of Jason. Jessica is 2yrs. and Jared is only 1 yr in his. They all 3 were so much fun and I am so grateful to say I was home to be part of their lives everyday when they were little.

Warmer Days

2009-01-11T18:58:00.003-07:00

This is another fall picture, I had much less hair then. I finally have hair... is it sooo curly but very easy to do. I don't wear hats everyday anymore. I am so sick of hats, I wore a hat everyday for 10 months. I think I have one of every color shape and style...

My baby

2009-01-11T18:55:00.006-07:00

I just ran across this picture. It is Jason at age 2. He was so dang cute. I made the outfit. I need to get the ones of Jessica and Jared as well. I love the age 2 pictures. I have 3 framed ones of each of them at age 2 on the wall. What great memories and how lucky I am to have the 3 most awesome children in the world!

The back of our house in the Fall

2009-01-11T18:49:00.002-07:00

This is the back of our house in the fall. I will post a pic of it now. We have at least 3ft of snow on our house on the ground. It is amazing. It doesn't even look like the same place. The pine trees are so tall and spectacular. I truly love living in the woods. I just wish it were closer to Utah. I am now working at a place called NOVA GUIDES check out the wesite. What a fun get-away. They have beautiful cabins to stay in as well as activities for everyone. The winter is dog sledding and snowmobiling, the summer is anything from paintballing, to rafting, fishing, hiking, biking. So much to do.

Snow Snow Snow

2009-01-07T13:19:00.003-07:00

Can't believe the amount of snow that can accumulate in such a short period of time. We have at least 3ft in our yard. Today it just wont' quit dumping. It is so beautiful. The trees are just flocked in so much snow. It goes away so fast on the trees. I drive to work through this forest, I think it is the most beautiful drive.

this is for you Kerstin, and Jessica.. ENJOY

Well for me that would be many many times.. but to save space, I do remember one time when I was a cheerleader and when we went out on the court to do a cheer I tripped and fell flat on my face in front of the whole School. I was red!! Then another time was when I "thought" I wanted to do track.. (what a joke) The put me on the high jump. I had no training or ability to do any of it. but, they made me do it.I ran and stopped in front of the bar and jumped straight up in the air, did a full flip in mid air,,,, completly missed the bar and landed under it on the matt upside down.

I am back.....

2008-09-01T04:26:00.016-06:00

Hello everyone...
For those of you who do not know. I have been going through cancer treatments. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2008! WOW! what a journey it has been. I have had 8 rounds of chemo therapy, the loss of my hair (which is the least of my problems) I have been extrememly sick at times. I had 8 rounds of the very strong "poison" Chemo. The lump I had was almost 2 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches thick. It was a very easy lump to find. Now I am in the middle of receiving my radiation treatments. It is extrememly time consuming, and the fatigue is so hard on me, I am always very drained and tired. I go 5 days a week no matter what, and it is for 6 weeks. I am now at the point point of being very burnt and red!!! it is very uncomfortable and sore. However,I am fine, and try to keep a positive attitude and want to gain as much knowledge and informatin for my daughter Jessica. The other thing that is important to know for Jason and Jared is they need to be aware for their own health. They will need to check for lumps. There are many men who get breast cancer! I have learned so much and there is much more to learn. I will be getting some genetic counseling and testing done this coming week. The test will determine if I have a gene (BRCA) that caused my cancer. That way if I do have it, Jessica can get tested to see if she has that same gene and if she does, there are many options available to her so she will NOT get cancer. I am so grateful for the many women and men who have had this horrible disease before me, there is so much information and progress that has been done over the past 10 years. Even though it seems every one knows someone who has cancer or has had it themselves, it is very different when it comes into your own life. For almost 9 months now I have faced my mortality every day! What a reality that is. I have many things I could share,, I will as time goes on. I do feel better than I did and that is why I am able to focus a little better. Although I have what is called "Chemo" brain..... and if you want to know frustration... this is it!!!! I was dingy before and so now... who knows what this is going to be like as time goes on. Anyway, It is a fair trade off to be around to still see my family and continue to be part of their lives. They are the true survivors of this as well as my husband. He has bee supportive and has taken care of everything from carrying me when I couldn't walk, to shaving my head when my hair was falling out! I lost every hair on every part of my body!!! As Ugly and sick as I was, he never looked at me differently. As broken as I was his face and heart always expressed care, concern,love and hope for me. (full of compassion and yet helplessness in his eyes, wanting to "fix"something he couldn't.) We sat in my chair that he had made as comfortable as he could for me... and we would just cry and pray for courage and strength to get through this.
To look at my life and know of the trials and hardships I have been through, many would think WOW I am sure glad I don't have to deal with the things she has had to deal with and go through. Many have said "Oh, Stacey is strong and she will be fine" but, I don't know if that is a term people use to make themselves feel better about it or what. But, there have been many times I don't feel strong and wonder HOW will I do this??? I certainly have NOT done it alone, and couldn't have done it alone. There are many who talk about "how blessed" they are... because they don't have to go through the trials that others do. I wonder what do they think of Me and others who have hard times,tragedies and trials that seem impossible to get through???? Are we NOT blessed? Are we not good enough? or living "right"? I can't speak for others but, I can speak for myself. The blessings and greater understanding and Love that our Savior has for us is something we can NOT fully understand. I just know that because of the suffering he did for each of us gives us the opportunity, if we choose, to gain a better understanding of his Love and sacrifice for US. Though MY trials, pain and suffering have beeen extremely difficult I still have no comprehension of our Saviors' suffering and pain. There are not words powerful enough for me to describe to you how I feel. The understanding of "being blessed" as many use the term as being blessed means you don't go through hardships or have trials. Blessings: as well as trials, come to each of us individually and it is up to us how we deal with it. Our attitudes and faith in our Heavenly Father will be the tools that help get us through with a better understanding and greater knowledge of our Saviors plan for each of us.

Thank you to all who have shown your compassion and support through this part of my journey. I plan on starting up with my vinyl again so I can help with the finances. I will get some pictures and if you would like any packets or ideas just let me know. My e-mail is stacee3k@msn.com and my phone number is 801-628-5063.
You can place your orders for the holidays. If you want the bulbs please let me know asap because I have to get them ordered.
