Hello, It's Me Again

 Hello, Crafters and Designers, this is me Saskia Agrang from Poui Designs.

As you can see, I have been a blogger for 7 years. Wow!

I started blogging about crafts and foods when 2 years after I arrived in the USA.

I wanted to showcase the foods, that I cooked and how I did it.

At that time our family consisted of 4 members, now 7. How time flies! lol

After member number 5 was born, I started sewing.

My Little Pony got me inspired to sew cloth pony plushies. I did that for 5 years.

It was one of the best times in my life because I enjoyed it so much. I got to join other sewists from other states in Facebook groups and learn from them. My main sales point was eBay. There I was able to accept custom orders in my dm and payment thru Paypal. Oh, what a time! After my family expanded I started to look for something to do that would make me money while I'm busy taking care of my babies. So. I found about svg cut files.

Creating and selling SVG files, gave me the freedom that I needed at that time of my life. I started drawing African American kids' images and turned them into svg cut files for Cricut and Silhouette studio. My customer base was and is still awesome. Then I learned about something called "Sublimation"!

Sublimation has changed my life on a whole other level. The fact that you can print any image to any qualified substrate is amazing. My company,Poui Designs, carries sublimation paper, sublimation ink, and several sublimation blanks. In the meantime I started a Youtube channel, Crafting With Poui Designs.

I thought I would tell you what is going on in my life and where I have been.

I am thinking of blogging more over here with my Sublimation Crafts, but I will see how I can make that happen.

Great to catch up with you again,and bye for now . :)

Our Great Miracle

Our Great Miracle

Can I ask the neighbor to take us to the doctor? asked my husband.  No,you don't have to,I said.I don't want to bother anybody,  I thought. At that time my stomach was killing me. Every night at a certain time my stomach would hurt, Let's say around 3 o'clock in the morning. It would start hurting for longer than a hour. To be honest with you I thought I would die and mind you, I was 7 months pregnant. And my doctor cancelled the appointment so I had to wait for a whole week.
Finally the day of my appointment was here and I got to see the doctor.

It was October 17, 2008.I woke up in the morning ,took a bath, dressed and told my husband that if he didn't hear me in the house anymore that means I've left.
So, a few minutes later the cab came(A cab picked me up for every appointment)I stepped in ,signed the voucher and we left.We drove like half an hour to the clinic at the 21st Street.This clinic is more visited by Hispanic people so a lot of Spanish is spoken there. I signed in and after a couple of minutes I was called inside the doctor's office.My case manager was also there, a lovely lady.She said hi and asked me how things where going.

Not so fine I said. I've been sick for a whole week and I don't know exactly what's wrong with me.The assistant came and took my blood pressure. How is it,I asked. It's high, she answered. But you always told me it was good when I came here . Are you really sure that it wasn't high the other times I came here? It was never high,she said.

How are you doing today,asked the doctor.Not so well ,she's been having stomach pains,my case manager said. Hmmm? Tell me, how long have you been having this? From Sunday until last night, was my answer.You know what, I'll send you to the Women Hospital,and she gave me a letter. Okay,doctor I said,not knowing how serious my situation was.My case manager called another cab which came 15 minutes later.

We drove to downtown.I didn't know where the hospital was located at and neither did the cabdriver.He was asking me!After a minute he said,Oh I know.

Finally ,we found the place ,I got out and went into the building.The receptionist was very friendly.Such an attitude helps you to calm down,when you don't know what's happening to you.How can I help you today?she asked.I have this and I showed her the letter. Ok fill this form out and follow me. We went into a room.she gave me a cup to urinate in and a hospital gown to put on. Put this on and wait here, she said.
Wanna know what happened that day,look out for my next blog on "Miracle
