Jamboree and Fireworks

I'm so glad to have this year's Jamboree behind me! It was wonderful and I loved getting to see all my customers and meeting new ones but it was very tiring and I'm thankful that its behind me. My spot was wonderful and breezy and I didn't have to have a fan run at all so I really was blessed. I also got to see lots of interesting people! Lots of patriotic folks walking around and looking adorable. I look forward to next year and making it LOTS better than this years!

Since I was away for the 4th, we bought fireworks on Sunday and shot a few off last night but plan to shoot off the rest tonight. I got a couple of nice shots so I'm going to post a few of my favorites...

Here's to a relaxing week ahead of me! (I hope anyway!!!)

Just about ready!!!

I can see the end of my fabric piles and it looks GOOD! :)

Since the sewing is just about finished, I'm taking the weekend off to do a little fishin'. Not sure if I'll be very happy about that since tomorrow is going to be the hottest day so far this summer. Let's just hope the kids don't get cranky... as you know they will.

Well, here's to tomorrow! :)

Still Workin'

Well, at least I'm trying too! Last week was Bible School and that was a full week all on it's on.

Slowly but surely, I'll get things done. So far, I've made about 6 new purses... can't wait to take pictures of those! About 6 checkbook covers, 10 chalk mats and still have LOTS more to go. I am running low on supplies and with the little bit of time I have left, I don't know if I'll be able to get more to work on or not.

As soon as I can, I'll post some pictures of those new bags. They really are awesome and I have already claimed at least 2 bags if they don't sell!

Please keep me in your prayers as I try to finish everything up; I feel like a fish swimming up-stream these days!!!

Workin' Hard...

Well, I think I have gotten the last of my stuff cut out for the jamboree. Yes, you are reading this correctly. I have everything cut out; NOT sewn!



It's been so busy around here getting to know Michelle and trying to keep the summer a little fun and I haven't been working as much as I could have and should have.

Now, I'll have to sew like a mad woman to get what I want to offer finished. Thankfully, I do have lots of stuff ready and I'm not going to sweat it. Just need to work on some things that need to be replenished. Like purses, wallets, checkbook covers, pillowcase dresses & hairbows! Not too much huh??? ;o) No worries, it'll all get finished!

As I get a few things finished, I'll post pictures and update as much as I can. Now, back to work!

I've been Tagged!

One of my Blogging buddies has tagged me! Let's see what I can come up with on this:

The rules: List Six Unimportant Things that Make you Happy.

1. Flowers ~ Not sure why but seeing wild flowers blowing in the wind just kind of brings a smile to my face. I don't care too much for the scents but I like seeing them.

2. Ice Cream ~ What kind of person would I be to not get happy about ice cream? Especially home made butterfinger ice cream... I will be making some tomorrow! YUMMY!!

3. Clouds with sunshine streaming through them ~ I can see the hand of God everytime I see clouds with rays streaming though. There is such a feeling and sense of perfection everytime I see them. It just makes my soul sing with Joy everytime!

4. Dark Chocolate ~ Talk about a sinful pleasure! It brings sweet relief everytime I pop a peice of dark chocolate in my mouth.

5. Jewelry ~ No matter how much weight I gain, jewelry always fits and brings a sweet smile to my face.

6. Flip Flops ~ I just like them... they are colorful, easy to flip on and off!

Ok, so that's a little about me... let's see I tag Natashia at Tennessee Cakes & Bethany at Bethany Tramel Photography !
