Time To Get To Work On My Bonanzle Booth!

Today is Monday, February 23, 2009. After almost three weeks of this nasty flu, I finally feel human again. Have so much to catch up on, however it will get done. It always does. The boys are still sick with it, hoping they get over it very soon.

I have to tell you that this new hobby of mine is so much fun! Who would have thought I would get excited over sewing? So far I have completed a tote and today I finished an Ostara altar cloth! Which I will be listing today in my Bonanzle booth.

Now that I am feeling so much better, I will start redoing all of my listings. This really does excite me. It seems like forever that I have had my templates and Sharon of SNL Designs does a fabulous job! She is just super to work with and won't leave you after the payment is made.

Colors for this week :
Monday - Silver
Tuesday - Gray
Wednesday - White
Thursday - Purple
Friday - Rose
Saturday - Brown
Sunday - Gold

Remember tomorrow is a New Moon, to smudge and to write those abundance checks. Please stop by my Bonanzle Booth Brightest Blessings and say hi.

No Down Time For Bonanzle, Just Me

Today is Sunday, February 15, 2009. The sun is just starting to rise over the cloudy sky. I have missed almost of week of life, have had the flu and a nasty one at that. Still not over it, however feeling much better this morning than I have since last Monday. From what I can see the feeder is in desperate need of food.

I did manage to get my first sewing project ever completed. I found this to be very relaxing and enjoyable. Unlike most projects, you can put this one down and come back to where you left off without having to read and reread the directions to figure out where you were at. The only problem I had was trying to figure out the button to use. So, off to find a piece of clay to make my own. Very happy with the results.

Now I do believe that a lot of this pleasure was due to the easy instructions/pattern that I had purchased from Rag Quilt Creations . She has taken time to explain and the pictures are just awesome. Not to mention that she is more than willing to help you along the way if need be. She also has a blog, Rag Quilt Creations that she has started listing tips and tricks.

Now while I was laid out on the couch, Bonanzle has switched over to the new server. So, now that this is done, I need to get my new templates up and running to match everything in my Bonanzle booth.

Plans for today are to start redoing my listings in my Bonanzle booth Brightest Blessings. So if you are out, stop in and say hi. Would love your feedback.

Brightest Blessings!

A Little Bonanzle Break

Today is Tuesday, February 10, 2009 and a beautiful day it is! The sun is shinning and a very slight breeze. The sparrows are just loving it.

Bonanzle has been running a little slow this week, so gave up on redoing my listing with my new templates that Sharon from SNL Designs has designed and worked so hard on. Bonanzle is getting yet another server update sometime this week. So after that happens I will try it again. Just gives me a chance to get some things finished up at the house. A little break.

Have one clay BOS almost ready and excited about it. Still working on my sewing, have had some major interruptions this week here at home. Might have a son moving back home, this economy has got to get moving.

So with that said, I know have to clean out the "spare" room. What a real job this has turned out to be. Nothing in that room can go into the shed, climate control. Have tons of tattoo stuff and all of the body piercing stuff that has to stay clean. The autoclave machine, the hot iron press, the tattoo guns all have to go into totes and stored somewhere else in the house.

Last night was just a beautiful night just an awesome Snow Moon. It was a little chilly, however it was a very clear night, some very good energy.

Colors for the week:
Monday - Lavender
Tuesday - White
Wednesday - Brown
Thursday - Green
Friday - Coral
Saturday - Blue
Sunday - Gold

My Bonanzle Experience

Good Morning! Today is February 5, 2009 and a very cold morning it is about 18 degrees. The sun is not up yet, got an early start on the day. All is quiet.....

I received my patterns from Rag Quilt Creations and I do believe that I will be able to make these very cute handbags. Before buying I e-mailed her to ask if these would be a beginners project. When I say beginner, I mean staring from scratch, know nothing beginner. She e-mailed be right back saying that it would be a good beginner project.

The instructions are very clear and the pictures are awesome. Had a couple of questions, however after reading the instructions all of the way through a couple of times, I got it figured out. Something to be said about reading the directions first.

I had found the fabric that I really wanted to use. It is just beautiful and in purple! Only to realize that I needed 5 inch squares and not 4 inch. So at the advice of Rag Quilt Creations, I sent and e-mail to Brenda's Fabric Goodies inquiring if these also came in 5 inch squares.

Well to my surprise the seller came on line and answered my e-mail right away with a sure! I was shocked at the fast response and the willingness of this seller to help me with this project. Within a few hours, she had them shipped out to me. This in my book is terrific customer service. She has got my business. So wish me luck, I will be starting this project Saturday.

This is the handbag and this is the fabric.
Just beautiful colors together. So I figure I can use the purple and floral for the outside and the other two lilac patterns for the inside. Truly excited about this new learning experience! Looking forward to it.

Well I have one clay Book of Shadows almost finished that should be finished up on Saturday. Still haven't had time to get my listings changed over to the new templates from Sharon at SNL Designs. Am going to try to have them finished up by the end of the weekend.

Brightest Blessings!

Brightest Blessings Going to Sew

Good Morning! Today is February 2, 2009 Happy Imbolc ! The sun is staring to come up, over a pink sky. The squirrels are tearing up that feeder this morning, must be after those sunflower seeds. There are some many sparrow on the ground it appears to be moving. Those are some quick little critters. The cardinals are just sitting on the fence, no sign of the doves yet.

I found the cutiest little Bonanzle booth that makes handbags and other things, called rag quilting. I had never seen this before so after taking a closer look, she also has patterens for sale to make your own.

The small totes are my favorite. There is just enough room in them to take what is needed. After my children out grew the diapers and bottles I was free to go back to using a real handbag. Looking through Rag Quilt Creations Bonanzle booth I was hooked. This lady has some kind of talent!

So never really being a person that could sew, other than repacing a button or putting on a patch, I have decided that I want to learn to sew. I e-mailed her to find out if this pattern would be at a beginners level and she got right back to me with a yes. Thought that I had the fabric picked out only to find out that I need 5 inch squares and not 4 inch.

While picking out a pattern I thought well I will just have to have that lavender pin cushion as well. It is just beautiful!

After I get all of my listings changed out this week and finish up my clay Book of Shadows, next week I will spend time learning to sew. So many plans to make new things, like large totes to take into town, no more plastic. Make the grandkids quilts out of their outgrown clothing, just so many ideas.

Have a Happy Imbolc! Stop by my Bonanzle booth and chat, that would be fun!

Brightest Blessings Bonanzle Booth Is Getting A New Look

Good Morning! Today is February 1, 2009 and a beautiful day it is. The sun is shinning and the birds are singing. The squirrels are tearing up the feeder again this morning. Yesterday was a disaster as far as getting anything done. House full of kids, spouses, and grandkids. They arrived about 9:30 and left about 8:30 last night. Threw together a dinner of burgers and fries and the clutter of them all being here is unbearable. So needless to say my clay Book of Shadows are not finished.

Now don't get me wrong, I love spending time with them, but when you put that many people into a house it gets really small and the noise level soars. I am having issues with my voice and most of the time it doesn't get above a whisper. This seems to come and go, it is very annoying to say the least. They are all trying to do their taxes and I am trying to explain to each one of them, at the same time, what they need to do. Going ot have to get a whistle.

However I did get some great news last night when I logged into Bonanzle last night, when all was quiet again. Sharon from SNL Designs had my templates done! She was the high light of my day. I am so excited to get them. Now comes the work of changing all of my 100 plus listing over to the new templates. My Bonanzle booth is going to look like mine again!

If you are needing a banner, avatar or Bonanzle templates, SNL Designs is the place to go. Sharon doesn't leave you once the transaction is over. She has awesome step by step directions that she sends with the templates and is more than willing to help you. She has premade that you can purchase or get with her about and Ooak look. Her prices are wonderful, professional service all of the way.

So this week I will be working on changing out all of my listings to the new templates and my clay Book of Shadows. My goals for this week is to get both completed by Friday. If you would like to see the new template, I did do one listing last night when she sent it. You can see it here.

If you have a chance to stop over at my Brightest Blessings Bonanzle booth, please do. Have a Wonderful Imbolc!
