Feeling Lucky?

Today instead of packing, we had a few errands to do. I asked Eddie to drop me at Savers Thrift while he went to fax something. So he did. The color today was green.
 All of the tags that were green were .99 so I started searching. I found 2 pink large Minky Blankets for Laney, 3 packages of 10 ea kids hangers, cabinet hardware (10 pc) in the package, 4 dish towel in pack, a princess nightie sz 4T and two pair of summer shoes for my self. Now the shoes were only half off 3.50 ea. The best part is they are brand new. One pair of BORN the other GLORIA VANDERBILT. They fit perfect and I love them.
Only have 10 more days until we move.  We have more stuff than we need, way more furniture than we need too. My daughter, sisters, and daughter in law all say less is more. But what less do I place in a new home? 
Till next time.................

Sharing With You

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a fun website with you. You may already know about, but it is still worth sharing.  So here goes, www.thediydish.com. A couple of twin sisters that are really creative, fun ideas so sit back and watch a few. Guess what family they are from? let me know and I'll tell you if your right.

I hope you all had a lovely Mothers Day.  I sure did. It was like Christmas. My kids all went together and got me a Kindle.  I love it.  What a great time passer for my up coming back surgery, neck surgery and Thyroid surgery. ( oh boy I'm lucky)
My hubby got me the Simplicity Bias Tape Maker and Cutter. I have been wanting for the last 6 months  I can't wait to use it. That will have to be after the move. Something to look forward to. We had a house full, my sisters Lori and Lisa. They are twins. At least that is what my mom told me.  Their husbands and our bunch me, Eddie, Spring, Sarah and the kids.  Sarah cooked the whole dinner. Fried Chicken, potato salad, corn on the cob and Lisa's husband Martin made crock pot brownies and Orange pecan cake. We call him "Martin Freak-in Stewart" Oh my GOSH the best dinner ever. Then we all sat around and laughed. It was a great day. Family is wonderful can't live with'm and you can't live with out'm.  Till next time ..........................

I Got My Apron And I Love it.

The Flirty Apron Swap:  My Apron came It is beautiful. You have to visit my new friend Cynthia's blog, "PuddinDreamsnapronseams.blogspot.com and her Etsy Shop
Puddin Tanes Shop.  You will see some of the most beautiful and unique Aprons. Do your self a favor and make a visit. I am so honored to own one. 

You remember the "Home Is A Bit Of Heaven"  THING ?....   Well the latest saga.
We should have been moved into our NEW HOUSE.  Two Days before closing the seller pulled out.  OK it wasn't to be. I truly believe in divine intervention. It wasn't in the plan.  We are good with that.  So on the hunt we went.
Now we have been married almost 39 years and rarely Have I been told no. So when I am told no I need to listen. As the house hunt went It was no, no, and again no. I thought we would never find a house. I thought I was going to be crazy. There is way more to the story than what has been written here.
The fact is the search is over, and after 43 houses we found one.  Keeping my fingers crossed.  Till next time.................

Apron On It's Way! Yeah!!

Got the message that the Aprons are on there way. I can't wait to see it. But more over I hope that my partner likes hers and the tuck ins too.

Happy Home Contd.

So where was I?  Oh yes. He is on the phone with us and he said I can see your lights keep  on coming your in the right direction. At this point we finally start to get a little worried, the closer we got the scarier he got and we were getting there.
We pulled into this what should have been a circle drive but suddenly stopped.
 AND we had seen a man standing in the darkened huge arched Joan of Arc  doors.  Then he was gone.  We got out of the car and For Real all that was missing was the MOTE!!!!!!! I am not kidding.  There were huge stained glass windows of  scary angels in creepy dark red blood like colors with very erry light behind each one. These windows stood at least 10 feet tall and the Angels glared out over the motless barren desert of darkness.  Even though we knew we should leave, we started down (FOR REAL) cobble stone  walk way.  Suddenly it ended.
Sarah looked at me and she stopped " What if he is in there right now laying out his scalpels right now?"  "I have my phone in my pocket open and dialed to 911" I said.  " do you really think you can run up these paver stones if you have to?"  she said. With that a coyote  amazingly appeared (FOR REAL)  Sarah grabbed me and we turned and ran up the stone way, jumped into the car locked the doors and ........ sat there. We turned on the car and HIT THE GAS and blew rocks out the back end.  We drove and drove fast and furious to the first stop sign that was lit. Sarah slammed on the breaks and just sat there. She looked over at me and said" If there was a really hot tall dark Vampire in there and I missed it, I am going to be P****D!!!!!!!! ( Her book club is called "Books That Bite").  " I think it was more like a Were Wolf." We called our hubbies for some consoling and only got yelled at instead.  Lesson learned.   AND that's how I lost my cell phone.
I hope it was worth your wait.   Till next time...............

Home: A Happy Home Is A Glimpse of Heaven

Or So the saying on the wall goes.... Really?.  I'll get into that later.

Flirty Apron Swap is made and mailed. It turned out so cute!!! I hope my partner likes it. I always say that I am going to make one for myself. I never do. I give whatever I make away.  That feels good. I will post pictures when my daughter in law gets back. They are on her phone.

The last month has been.... let's say crazy no no.... unfortunate no...  unreal........
I can't find the exact words I want but you get the idea, right?

So I'll start here:  We have a local news station here that provides on line classifieds.  Very very popular, more so than Craigs list is here any way.
 I always look through the free section, being the bargain and do over find and refurb person that I am.  Behold!! there was a gentleman in a town that was west of here about forty five miles.  He had Canvas Paintings for free. A few were displayed in the ad. I had been looking for old canvas paintings here and there for a project I had in mind.  Perfect what a find right? . So the plans were made and directions( sort of but we had a GPS) given to us by the Gentleman. He would hold them until his day off on Wednesday EVENING. 
This was going to be fun I THOUGHT.  Eddie had to work, so Sarah and I were going to drive and pick up the pictures. The kids would be in bed and Spring would be home preparing her lessons for the next day. Everything was just FALLING into place. 
Off we go 8:30 pm talking  brave and all laughing, laughing ,ha ha ha what an adventure this was going to be, after all we have done this kind of thing lots.
Stopping to fuel up on Diet Coke for the drive, energy and what ever else it could do for us.  We hit the highway it wasen't very long until we got to the exit. Really that is when the fun began.  The usual you know,  Right turn take the second left go to the top of the hill. He could not remember the name of the street into his subdivision but it was about 7 miles and it is a dark subdivision there are no street lights. Oh, and his house is the one on the right that looks like a MID - EVIL CASTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.  No, now we are not a fry short of a Happy Meal. We are the few trusting women that have not learned a lesson yet.  We were about to. Oh and most of these directions were by phone after the wrong ones were given.
The best part is yet to come...........  Till Next Time.
Sorry I have to go to a coupon class.

I love aprons

I love Aprons, I always have worn an apron. When my daughter in law saw my aprons she started wearing one also.  She is working on hers for the Flirty Apron Swap right now.  Mine is cut out and ready to sew tomorrow.  Swaps are so much fun. We will post pictures of the Aprons soon.
 I hope to do many more. 
I love to see other things my fabric sisters sew. Share your creations.
