Three Weeks and A New Adventure

Today is Monday, November 9, 2009. It looked like we were going to have some major storms today. So I checked the radar and sure enough it appeared that there was a huge one coming. Rolling dark clouds were here, but nothing more than the clouds. It went north of us.

I received my winnings from Brenda of Wicked Wool Gathering! These packages made my whole day! That little hanging picture is the cutest. And her slippers are wonderful. I love them! So I had to order a pair for my mom and hubby's mom. Then when the guys seen them, well they all wanted a pair too. So Brenda has agreed to make slippers for the guys, minus the pompoms of course. They are so comfy and really warm. I am sure this family will be back for more. Thank you again so much Brenda!

Hubby didn't make it to SC until a little after seven this morning. Needless to say, he didn't make it in to work. However, this is the last trip that he will make by himself. When he comes home in three weeks, we will be moving there. So tomorrow I will close up the pool, no matter what the temperature is, it will be closed down for the season. Oh to think tomorrow will be the last day that I have to vacuum it this year! Doing the happy dance!

I figure this week I will work on sorting things out for here and there and then the following week I will start the packing. We will leave Thanksgiving Day, there shouldn't be any traffic, everyone should be where they need to be by then. We decided this because of the young driver driving through Atlanta. Atlanta is a bear and I really dislike driving through it. Hubby is going to see about another route to go around it. Hubby will drive the U-Haul and tow my Jeep, son in the middle and I will drive the truck with the trailer. Doc and Lady in which ever vehicle they like.
Then off for our new adventure.

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.

One More Day!

Today is Thursday, October 22, 2009. Another gorgeous day. Sun shining and a breeze, the house is still opened up and smells so good. The birds must be enjoying this weather, they started singing very early this morning.

A couple of things that I would like to share with you today. One is an auction that I thought was pretty cool the will be on line so anyone can bid. It is Fangoria's Horror Movie Prop Auction. You can read more about it here, written by Auction Wally. Thought that this just had to be shared. He even has a slide show of some of the items to be auctioned off.

"The creature featured event boasts of over 400 major movie props and costumes from Halloween, Halloween II, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Resident Evil Extinction, Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Stepfather, 1408, Sorority Row, and the upcoming release, The Box." Stop on over to read all about it, he has the links to where to find all of the props. Click here

Brenda over at Wicked Wool Gathering is having a giveaway. If you have never seen her work you really need to take a peek. She makes the cutest crochet items, love, love, love the purple witch! Stop on over to her blog and show her some wicked love.

This morning while reading Sarah's blog which I usually don't miss for obvious reasons, I was just so humbled. When Sarah gives an award, she is doing so from the heart and not just because she feels obligated to do so.

I received this award from her this morning and am feeling very humbled by it. I thank you Sarah for being an awesome, ever giving of yourself friend. I will pass this on in a couple of days.

Only one day and hubby will be home! I am so jazzed! Tomorrow, YES! I will get him for a whole day and a half. And then two weeks, but that two weeks beats the heck out of thirty days!
