Nonproductive?

Today is Thursday, August 20, 2009. It started out to be a beautiful sunny and hot day. WOW! Did the storms roll in quick. The thunder is loud that it rattled the windows. Raining buckets out there. The up side, I don't have to water today, the down side, the pool is a mess. A real mess...That's OK it is my chore to clean, gee do I have to? LOL

I haven't even got to start cleaning out the spare room. Son brings me his headliner out of his truck and would like it to be redone in this material. I have never "redone" a headliner. His words to me,"How hard could it be, you can do it." Well now, if it isn't that hard, what is stopping you? His reply,"You will make it look so much better than what I will." Really? So after planning on how to go about it, I did do it and it doesn't look bad. I was impressed with the finished product. I did ask him not to tell anyone who had done it, not wanting to find his friends at my doorstep with their headliners.

I was able to get my drawstring bags listed and one Samhain Altar Kit. I feel like time is moving very rapidly this week and there is no way for me to catch up. I so want to get into that spare room, I know where everything will be put and how it will look when it is finished. Maybe I just need to put a sign on the front door, "Gone Fishing", think it will work?

Today is a New Moon, make sure to get those abundance checks written and smudge. This will be done right after dinner. Then maybe I can disappear into the spare room and no one will come to look for me. hehehe

Have a happy, healthy, productive day! ~Brightest Blessings~

Monday Was A Productive Day!

Today is Wednesday, August 12, 2009. Another gorgeous day! Ninety-two degrees and a slight breeze. Yes! Monday was a productive day!

Finished Moms lap quilt, the two altar cloths, cut fabric for another four cloths and 2 more drawstring bags are finished. Now to get the clay out and make the incense burners for the kits to get them put together and listed.

Moms Quilt she got her angels. And of course blue.

I will have to retake these pictures of these drawstring bags. The pictures are just not showing the true color. It is a satin material the is a very deep purple and changes colors in the light. Will be working on that tomorrow. Oh, how I love trying to get the right angles and light to take pictures. LOL

Maybe if I try it with a white back ground? Maybe not, it is just a trial and error with me and taking pictures. grrrrr

This is one of the altar cloths that are finished. See how the white with the gold stars just got so bright that it makes the picture look really bad. So this is another one that I will be working on. There is no flash, I usually take my pictures outside. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day for taking pictures.

We had a storm again last night that came out of no where. My pool looked like a pine forest when it was all over. So had to get that cleaned out today. I love that chore cleaning the pool.

Hope that your week is going great and you are getting all of those things that you are trying to get done and caught up on. Have a happy, healthy, productive day! ~Brightest Blessings~

Listings Done!

Today is FRIDAY, August 7, 2009. A beautiful day it has turned out to be. A few clouds rolled in this morning, but rolled out just as fast. Looks like an eat out, cook out, in pool afternoon! YES!

I finally got the drawstring bags listed this morning! Yeah! Laundry done, bills paid, checkbook balanced and Friday too!

Worked on my site page of links again yesterday without any luck. So, yes I will admit defeat and sent an e-mail to Sharon for her help. Something so simple shouldn't be so hard to figure out. Most things if I work at it for a little while I can figure out, however not this.

Trying to get everything done early today before hubby gets home. He is getting off two hours early today. (((smiles))) Unsure why, but I have really missed him this week. I guess it is the summer and outdoor time that we spend together.

Thought that I would share a couple of more of the drawstring bags with you.

No rain yesterday afternoon, so no I didn't get moms quilt finished. I will get it done before the change of season. LOL Time to get busy again.

Have a happy, healthy, productive day! Enjoy the outdoors and the weekend! Brightest Blessings !

A Few Items Finished!

Today is Thursday, August 6, 2009. A beautiful morning today, but supposed to be afternoon showers again today. Has been a very busy last few days! However very productive. This is a picture of a caterpillar that I took while mowing the yard. I have never seen one this big or color. The little horn things are soft, just had to share this one. Then had to move him out of the way.

I did get 7 drawstring bags finished and pictures taken. Now just to get them listed. LOL That is not my favorite thing to do. These are just a couple of them.

I also completed a couple of Altar clothes that I also need to get listed. Have a couple of more started just not finished.

My lap rag quilt for mom is all but done! All that I need to do now is sit long enough to clip and wash it. I do believe that she will like it. It has lots of her favorite things. If it rains this afternoon I will sit and clip it, if not to the pool.

I have been so spoiled with summer. We have cooked outside and ate outside most of it. The pool has been wonderful and line drying the clothes is just awesome. This past few days, we have had rain in the afternoon, so everything outside has come inside. Talk about whining......

Hope that you too are enjoying your summer, get outside and have fun the kids will follow, great family time and very well spent! Have a happy, healthy, productive day! Brightest Blessings!
