Finished My Project

Today is Saturday, April 25, 2009. It is hot again up in the 90's something that I'm not thrilled with the heat and no breeze to go with it. This is the little rose bush that has made a thriving come back. A real beauty! Almost a lavender color with a lot more buds! I think the squirrels were in the catnip yesterday. I watched one fall off the feeder into the water container and another fall out of the same tree twice. They were acting really crazy just pinging off of the trees and the house.

I finished my baby's little quilt and like I said it isn't the way that I wanted it to look however, it is the ones that she picked out. LOL Less than two and already knows what she wants. Wait another ten years, oh boy.

I was able to find the Pooh and friends binding to put around it. I figure that as she grows I will be able to remove the binding and add to it.

Remember to write those Abundance checks today and smudge, you have 24 hours after a New Moon to do this. Really busy today trying to check out two other selling venues and a hosting site for my website. Really looking forward to expanding or branching out.

So with that being said I need to get into a forward direction and get busy. Need to get a few more plants into the ground today also. If you get a chance stop over at BrightestBlessings!

My Rant For The Day

Today is Tuesday, April 21, 2009. Another beautiful day! This is a picture of the rose bush that mom gave me that was all but dead just before winter. The sprout with 3 buds is an off shoot of the main one. Even with the squirrels using it for a ladder to stare at me to bring them more groceries, it is thriving! Will take more pictures when then open. I am so amazed at this little guy!

Started the quilt for my grand daughter, mistake was working on it when she showed up. Not the way that I would have done it, however as my son let me to know, it is her quilt. She is two and knows what she wants. It should be interesting when it is finished. She just had a hay day in the fabric.

I do believe that I will be taking my business to a web site all of it's own. This has been a long time in coming and I really do believe it is time to move forward. I use to love Bonanzle, something to look forward to everyday. Not so much the case any more.

It seems that with growth comes change and change is good. The forums use to be a place to go to have a break and have some "fun". Now they seem to be almost toxic. Then of course you have a few that if they don't like what is said the thread winds up in drama or poofs. I will say that it was a terrific site when it was about 600 members.

The new home page is all the same color, no matter what items are featured. Paying a membership was supposed to have exposure to the front page. HA! Now it seems that if you have the word e-bay in your listing and less than three points on the "More Seller Details" page you will be on the home page. I have checked several of the lists and it seems that if you are a non supporting member your items will be there. A lot of them haven't even changed the generic avatar or logged in since they dumped their items on Bonanzle. It seems it is all about the "pretty" pictures. Sorry folks, I would think it had to do with who was buttering my bread.

Well enough about my rant this morning. Have a quilt to finish and laundry to hang. Have a wonderful day! Get out in the dirt today and have some fun! BrightestBlessings!

A Couple of Family Projects

Today is Sunday, April 19, 2009. A little on the over cast side, but that's ok. It's warm but not hot and humid. The birds are singing and the squirrels are playing. They really are awesome to watch. The little ones are funny to watch them box each other.

Today I am going to start a quilt for my grand daughter. She loves Eeyore so this is what she will have. Then to start the cameo one for my grandson. Have two other orders to finish up, but they are almost finished and today is Sunday, so I will work on family projects.

Found a really interesting blog, "Your Health", that you might want to check out. I ordered a ten week supply of this Essiac. It would figure that if something was this good that the medical community would not want you to use it or be able to purchase it. Go figure....

Colors for the coming week:

Monday Silver
Tuesday Black
Wednesday Brown
Thursday White
Friday Coral New Moon don't forget to smudge and write those abundance checks!
Saturday Blue
Sunday Amber

Stop on over at my Bonanzle booth if you get a chance today. BrightestBlessings!

New Items In My Bonanzle Booth

Today is Friday, April 17, 2009. Another beautiful day! The sun is shining and a breeze. This is what happens when I didn't take the time to fill the feeder yesterday. He crawled up my rose bush and to the window he came. He will sit there and just stare at me, like hey we need groceries out here. So it was time to go feed the critters.

Today I am working on a new tote that I am excited about. The fabric is very unique in design. The colors aren't colors that I would have put together, however they look great. I am still trying to find angel fabric. Not having to much luck in that area. Of course, that would be what mom is wanting.....

If you haven't seen the You Tube of Susan Boyle, you really need to watch it. Make sure you have the box of tissues handy. She is a beautiful lady with enormous talent, that over came a fear that most of us would have silenced. She is an inspiration to all of us! I thank you Susan Boyle for the lesson that you taught so many in under 7 minutes! You will watch this more than once.......

Here are the newest additions:






All of the buttons are handmade by Bettye of SomethingPretty's Bonanzle booth. If you don't see what you are needing this lady will make it. You can even send her a picture of the fabric to match the color or design to. She has some amazing talent! They are button covers that just slide off before washing and drying.

Stop on over at my Bonanzle booth and check out the totes. The ST.Judes one can be found at this Bonanzle booth or will be shortly. It is for the charity auction in May. Stop on over and check out a few of the other new items I have added.

Brightest Blessings!

A Couple of Finished Projects For My Bonanzle Booth

Today is Thursday, April 16, 2009. Another beautiful day, the sun is shinning and there is a small breeze. Went back to the doctor on Monday only to leave with 4 more medications. If this doesn't work, (here we go again) you are going to need to go to an ENT doctor. You may have polyps and they will have to be removed. I don't think so. I will settle for what I have, one small tiny, very tiny slip and I will not a voice. Sorry doc, that is not an option. There is no second time around to fix that. I will be very happy with what I have and leave it at that.

The last couple of days have been productive. I finished up a "Blue Dragon" tote and the "ST. Judes" tote. Both are waiting for the buttons, which will be here today. I also finished up the "Butterfly" tote, which is so pretty. I will post the pictures and get them in my Bonanzle booth later this afternoon when the button covers get here.

Have started the putting together of the fabric for my next one and will work more on it tomorrow. Have another special tote to do and will tell you more about it tomorrow. This one is just as special as the ST. Judes one. It too is for a very worth while cause.

Have an awesome day and if you get a chance, stop over at my Bonanzle booth. BrightestBlessings!

As promised here at the pictures of the three totes, "Blue Dragon", "ST.Judes", and "Butterflies".

A Productive Weekend For My Bonanzle Booth

Today is Saturday, April 11, 2009. A cloudy and windy day here. A good day to continue on my projects for my Bonanzle booth.

This weekend I have completed the "Blue Dragon" tote and the St. Judes charity auction tote. Waiting on the buttons, which should be here on Monday. I will post pictures when they are completed. Also started the "Butterflies" tote which is going to be gorgeous when finished! The colors in this one are fabulous!

Most of the kids are off work tomorrow so it's going to be a Mexican dinner at moms house. So I have to quit working on my projects soon and do the chores and get to the store. This was a last minute dinner, awe gotta love it. It seems that the less planning that goes into something the better it really turns out. Family dinners have always been done at "moms" we have a great time and get lots of family memories out of it too.

I started doing the "LIMBO" last week and it has been fun. It runs from Wednesday to Saturday at 8 pm est. It is great to find some great deals. Click on the "LIMBO" and it will take you to the thread with all of the Bonanzle booth links that are also playing.

Have a productive weekend and enjoy your family!

Wooden Projects Found At Bonanzle Were A Hit This Weekend

Today is Monday, April 6, 2009. It has rained this morning and the wind is blowing. It didn't stop the birds or squirrels from their morning feeding.

I had my grandson (1 of 10) this weekend. Picked him up Friday night and have to return him tonight, by orders of his dad. I can live with that. Friday night we went out to dinner and then had to stop at the store for milk. Can NOT live without milk for cereal.

Saturday we dyed eggs. It was a beautiful day to work outside. We were no sooner done with the eggs and they were eaten. Then into the swimming pool. He also helped my to hang laundry. This is just to funny watching considering he can't reach the clothes line. He looked like a little jack rabbit.

Sunday we had another gorgeous day to work outside. We dug out the wooden projects that I had bought some time ago from a Bonanzle booth. The picture is of the bird house, a heart napkin holder and a little picket fence plant holder. With some luck they will dry out so that we can get them painted before I have to return him. He really enjoyed doing these. Even the older kids liked doing them!

Have started another dragon tote and hope to have it finished up this week. I guess that would all depend on the interruptions that happen. Still not much of a voice and after all of the hours spent at the doctors office and five different meds, people wonder why I have NO faith in doctors.

Really had fun with the LIMBO this week and will be doing it again next week.

Colors for this week:
Monday Lavender
Tuesday Red
Wednesday Yellow
Thursday Turquoise A Wind Moon Today!
Friday Pink
Saturday Blue
Sunday Yellow

Have a productive Monday!

Would Rather Shop At Bonanzle

Today is Sunday, April 5, 2009. The rain stopped and it was a beautiful day Friday. Living in a very small community, the shopping is very limited. Every once in a while I decide to drive the 50 miles each way to go shopping. This weekend hubby and I went "shopping" for fabric.

I knew in my mind what I wanted and just knew that if we got out of town to a city, I would find what I needed. You know when you know what you are looking for, you know what you want. Well, I was so disappointed. Wall after wall of fabric and nothing of the three fabrics did I find. Hundreds of fabrics in these three stores and no angels, no dragons and nothing for my special tote.

However, we did have a good time just the two of us, that never happens. We just made a day of it. After returning home, I went on the hunt for my fabric on Bonanzle. I should have known to chat with this one seller, which is one of my favorites. She has NEVER let me down.

Brenda's Fabric Goodies is such a super person and really works to make a deal happen! With the Bonanzle chat box I talked with her and got what I wanted. This is not the first time that I asked her for something and she said sure no problem!

I really want my tote for the charity auction to be so extra special. This is one of the fabrics that I ordered from her. This IS the fabric that I wanted.

Close

This is the one that is going to pull it all together. If you know what you are looking for and just can't seem to find it, I recommend going to see Brenda's Fabric Goodies Bonanzle booth. If you don't ask, the answer is no. I am now very excited and can't wait to get this one started. Thank you so much Brenda! You totally made my weekend!

The "Lady Bug" extra small tote is sold. So I really need to get busy. Have the grandbaby this weekend, we have been building bird houses and a napkin holder. Today we paint them. He wants to dye eggs. I so do hope not to have the dye spilled this year.

I listed over a hundred new items in my Bonanzle booth, BrightestBlessings, this week also. All of the jewelry and body jewelry that has been sitting in the spare room. I played the "LIMBO" game this week at Bonanzle and will play again next week. Come on over next Wednesday and play. The game runs from Wednesday to Saturday at 8 est. You can get some real good deals, which I was thrilled I won all of the offers I did!

Brightest Blessings!

A New Item For My Bonanzle Booth

Today is Wednesday, April 1, 2009. This is a picture of a Blue Jay and a Cardinal. The Blue Jay has only been here the last two days. It started pouring last night about 8 and hasn't stopped yet. The thunderstorms have finished for now. Made it through most of it with electric and internet connection.

I did get another project finished up and really thrilled with this one. I made it without a pattern, so it was a little more challenging. It also has a different style strap. It just says spring.

The "Lady Bug" is only about 7 inches wide, about 5 inches tall and about 2 1/2 inches deep. The strap has about a 14 inch drop. There are three small pockets on the inside which are just big enough for a cell phone, lipstick, or a package of gum. The button cover is a clay Lady Bug to match. The colors of pink, purple and green with the purple and pink Lady Bugs on yellow just scream spring. I also made a matching key holder to match. I will get this listed sometime today in my Bonanzle booth Brightest Blessings.

Seeing how the weather is very wet here and supposed to be until Friday, I am forced to stay inside. So I will move in a forward direction to finish getting the spare room cleaned out for my office/project room. This will be so nice to have finished, I would still rather be out playing in the dirt.

If it's not raining where you are at, get out there and plant something, play in the dirt and have fun!
BrightestBlessings!
