Bling It On!!!

Here are a few of the bracelets that Becky has created while home. She is so talented. Not only do you look like a million bucks wearing one of these beauties but you feel like one too. Crystals - a beautiful thing. Although, the pics are good the real thing is so much more impressive.

Fall - once again

The leaves are turning and fall is in the air. I do love fall. The excitement of high school football. Big bowls of chili. The colors are fantastic all red, orange and yellow. Looking forward to having the winter season start just that it will end sooner. ha Maybe, in reality, it doesn't work that way but I would like to think so. Have many projects I am looking forward to starting. Making an afghan now that I have called "A Day at the Beach". I just love it. The varigated yarn, which is Red Heart - Seagrass, needs to arrive at my door monthly by truck load. It is so beautiful. Sam is working on a sweater. The pattern has been a challenge. It hasn't been true to the directions, so she has had to adjust it some. Becky has been beading bracelets. Pictures will be posted tomorrow of those. They are incredible.

All together again

My daughter, Becky, is home on leave. She is in the USAF. It is amazing to have all the kids in the house again. Like having Christmas in July (ok, in August). lol

Sami and I have been crazy busy with crocheting. We have gone on more than our fare share of "yarn shopping". lol Love yarn. It has been fun staying up and crocheting together. We are getting projects done, too, which is a plus.

School started and chaos has once again begun. Everybody with their own schedules. The only routine in common is bed time. I had to buy a huge calendar that covers half of the bar. It's sad that I can't remember anything anymore and need this kind of help. haha

August Already!

I can hardly believe it. Can it be possible. I was in the craft store just the other day (big surprise - lol) and there decorating the aisles was fall items. NOOO! Some Halloween. And even some, can I even bring myself to say it, Christmas. OMGosh. It was so sad. We have had such a gloomy July and here come the autumn things. Almost made me cry.

We have been cleaning these past few days. Purging our house of items not used. I have been seeing my craft supplies laying everywhere. It amazes me that it accumulates so quickly. So, I have vowed that I will use a good percent of it up this winter without purchasing new. Actually looking forward to the challenge. Also, must get back into my routine of gathering all the supplies I need for a layout or project together and place it in a box so that when I go to crops, it is all together and I don't feel overwhelmed. Have you ever have those days. You just don't know where to start? Well, let's start together - at the top. It doesn't matter what it is, let's just do it.
