I WON So Excited

Today is Monday, November 2, 2009. It was just a gorgeous Fall day again today. House all opened up and smelling so fresh. The sun was shining and the gentle breeze made for a terrific day. These are the two roses that I do believe will be the last to bloom for this season. However, she may surprise me again.

I did get the pool vacuumed today, there is now a piece of PVC Pipe that has extended the reach of the vacuum to over half the reach of the pool from the top, no more getting into the pool. The temperatures this week are supposed to get down into the 40's so maybe this weekend I can close her up for the winter.

Also got six more loaves of bread made. Made my favorite the butterscotch with heath pieces. Oh it is so yummy. Had to get it into the freezer before it was all gone. hehehe

I was so excited tonight, I got an e-mail from Brenda over at Wicked Wool Gathering and I WON a pair of these awesome handmade slippers. These have come just in time for the falling temperatures. THANK YOU so much Brenda! These are just to cute.

Brenda will be listing her slippers in her Etsy shop soon. They are VERY reasonable !$! They will make terrific Yule gifts. I am thinking that even the guys would like these, well minus the pom poms of course. LOL

Here are a couple of more things that I finished up.

Rag Quilted Pillow with Lavender

Peace Dream Pillow with Lavender

I hope to have all of my new items listed tomorrow, if not Wednesday for sure. Have a full day of cooking tomorrow and have to go shopping, so don't know how much more I will be able to get done.

Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live today. ~Brightest Blessings~

A Fairly Productive Day

Today is Wednesday, September 23, 2009. It was a beautiful day and hot. Lots of birds are back and even a mocking bird was here this evening. That is the first that I have seen in the back at the feeder.

Today was a fairly productive day. I started and FINISHED four dream pillows and even have taken the pictures. Go me! So tomorrow I will get them listed on my Etsy shop and site. Tomorrow I start a new tote, that has been sitting just waiting so patiently to be done.

The pool is clean and looks beautiful. I love it when it just sparkles in the sunshine. It is so inviting. Looks pretty at night too with the solar lights on it.

Made a fresh hot pot of coffee all of my chores are finished for today anyway, so I may just get the dream pillows listed tonight. Who knows?

Young son has been a bear since dad is gone! It isn't just me, son number 5 said the same thing. Wanted to know what was wrong with him. And of course son number 5 has no patience with that kind of thing. So we are just making a wide birth around young son. We are so hoping that things change with him and this attitude. If not, we are going to ship him to his dad. hehehe

I hope that everyone have a wonderful Mabon and that the colors of your world are changing. Ours aren't changing here yet another month or so and then maybe our world will be colorful too.

A Very Short Week

Today is Friday, September 18, 2009. It has rained most of the week here and doesn't look like it is going to be ending anytime soon. So another day in the house.

I received these wicked greeting cards from Cindy of The Shabby Hag yesterday. The cards are so cool and the packaging is just wonderful. The little gold pumpkin seal is a special touch! Thank you Cindy!

This week has just run by. I think it is the realization that hubby is leaving Sunday night and won't be back for at least thirty days. All of the years that we have been married we have never been apart more than three days. Figure I can throw myself into my work and the holidays. I am not prepared for this, never thought that I would have to be.....

Young son got the reality check Friday evening while dad and mom were talking. He is not a happy camper. "Dad is really leaving this weekend?", yes son, he is. Vanished to his room for a few hours and then became very clingy. Very out of character for him.

This will be harder on the oldest son and the youngest son. They are their fathers sons. Not that the other ones aren't close to him, they will miss him too, just not like the other two. Dad is the "fun" one. The one that they tell about the tree getting caught up in the vines while cutting it down or how long the rattle snake was or their "battle wounds". Mom doesn't want to hear this stuff, I worry about them enough without all of the details.

I did get to finish up a different style rag quilt tote last night, inspired by my daughter and three dream pillows that I will get listed maybe, sometime today on my site and my Etsy shop. If not today, for sure tomorrow. Will probably work all night Sunday, waiting on the phone call that says he made it there and all is well.

Today is a New Moon, don't forget to smudge and write those abundance checks!
