These were so much fun to make! Set in new custom made stainless steel bezels that I have been patiently waiting for (weeks and weeks!) I have many more planned, but must be patient :)

The first purrmaid.

Coming soon! These were my prototype :)

One of several new designs I have been working on :)

So, it has been a year since diagnosis and treatment started...and a wild ride! From going from walking, to losing use of my right arm and leg (making me dependent on my husband and a wheelchair), to undergoing 10 sessions of whole brain radiation, then chemo every 3 weeks (still happening), to months of physical therapy which returned me to walking and working! Let me tell you, at one point I was having to to lift and move my right arm with my left arm and double checking it wasn't hanging out a car door before closing it, or making sure I wasn't sitting or laying on it. I had no awareness of it, I couldn't make my fingers touch my thumb, couldn't hold anything with it. It was dead to me. BUT IT IS BACK!!! It might not be perfect, but it is close enough and I'm so grateful for that! I am also able to walk (and jog a tiny bit)!

This past week I've had an abdomen, chest, and brain scan. No new tumors, the ones I do have are stable, and many have shrunk from their original size. Great news!!

So I am thrilled with my progress and current status, and thankful to all of you for all the thoughts, prayers, messages, donations, and more!

I'm going to to keep on keeping on, and if anything changes, I'll roll with the punches. But I feel very loved and very blessed, and very grateful for everything ❤️

Now go and enjoy your day and make those memories!
