Busy weekend

I see that once again I have been a slacker with my blog. Guess that means I have been really busy with work and I admit it playing on the new computer trying to figure out many things. I think I have a few mastered and now have figured out how to blog on a new system. Wasn't hard I just needed to get it done.

We have been blessed with lots and lots of rain this month. I am so ready for blue sunny skies , no clouds and warm sunshine. I do have to say there has been beautiful fluffy dark clouds but I have had enough and am ready for the sun.


My sister has a love of counted cross stitch and samplers. I was so surprised to receive this beautiful sampler from her. The hours of work stitching this had to have been so many. I love it and have it hanging up already

This morning I received a phone call from my daughter Jenn asking me if I wanted to go with her and Sadera for pedis this morning. Ummm ya!!!! So off we headed to our favorite place and relaxed as we received a most relaxing pedi. I chose red and hearts, Jenn was a coral and hearts and Sadera decided on a manicure with lavender polish and white and gold hearts. Following the pedis I was taken to lunch at one of the Vick's favorite places Oreganos in Tempe. can I just say yum yum yum. A good relaxing lunch. Great way to start my weekend

Tomorrow is my Valentine Banner event. There are 10 of us getting together to make a Valentine Banner. Each of us were given a letter and then we design our piece and make 9 kits to share. It should be alot of fun. My letter was "I" and this is what I came up with.

And here is the envelope I made to hold all of their goodies and the kit supplies.


More to come tomorrow as I will have pics of my banner assembled.

The Stockings Were Hung

I hosted a small group for a Christmas Stocking Swap. I kept the group small due to my time and work constraints and deadlines I was facing. My idea for the swap came from a wonderful online class I took with Nancy Maxwell James of Sugar Lump Studios . I really enjoyed her class and all her helpful tips and so the idea was born. I assigned secret partners, to each of the members as well as a Dec 10th deadline. Christine suggested we all wait and open our boxes on the same day. So today is the reveal. The stocking are gorgeous and it has been fun as the photos came in to see how each of us interpreted the theme. We designed and filled our stockings with goodies and then mailed to our partner. Below are the photos of our stockings and a little thank you I sent to each of the gals. The stockings are in no particular order just how they came up on the computer. I am already thinking of next year :) and what we could do and to being more organized time wise so I can invite more ga

Today: Chaos, Cooking, Cleaning and Creating

Image
What a day. I think I put the "Labor" into Labor Day. After yesterday, where I basically sat all day I needed to get going. And get going I did. From laundry to cleaning to grocery shopping to creating I have had a busy day. I have decided that what I eat sucks. I rarely cook a good meal and then at bedtime I am back to starving. So in my great wisdom I decided I needed to get with it and start fixing better meals for myself. Cooking for 1 is not the most inspiring thing. I am so used to cooking for larger groups and I tend to make too much. any how armed with a list for the grocery store and determination I headed out. I shopped and shopped, loaded all the groceries into the car and unloaded all the groceries from the car when I got home. From there it was a whirlwind of mixing and making my meals for the week. But let's be honest I probably made enough for 2 weeks plus. Groceries waiting to be put away and made into meals It only took about 30 minutes to whip this all t
