A Little Spare Time is What I Like

Hey there blogger friends!! Yep, another post, can you believe it?? Actually, this is my 100th post, and I was going to plan something big and exciting, but have not done so yet. I did want to write and tell you that I had a little extra FREE time today where I had nothing planned, so this is what I did............

Took a little fabric that looked like this........used a lil iron on heat bond, and......


GOT THIS!!! A table runner!!

I've been looking around for a table runner, and found none that I liked. Everything was a little too foofoo for me, or were covered with turkeys, and I like things simple. So, after working all night on call, I slept a little this morning, woke up and created this little piece. Took all of 30 minutes. I may even have to make one for the Christmas Holiday!!!

My sons party is coming together. I have found some recipes that I am going to try of things that I was going to purchase. (Thanks for the advice Farmchick) So, we'll see how that all goes.

Hope you all have a great rest of the week.

Enjoying MY day,

Rita

A Quick Update

Just a quick post to let you all know that I am still alive!!! It has been crazy here, and it's not looking less crazy for quite some time. My son Alex is being confirmed next weekend, so we are preparing for an Open House. Which consists of..........REALLY cleaning the house, the garage, fall cleaning stuff outside, (which needed to be done anyway) planning the food, baking, extra table, chairs, etc...........I have not even thought about what I am going to be wearing!! That will be this week with all my spare time. ughh.
The good news is that when all the craziness is done, which won't be for another 4 weeks.........(we have something every weekend til Nov. 21st) I will get to bring out the Christmas decor!!! Woohooo!!!! I cannot wait. I love to decorate for the Holidays, it's my favorite time of year.
The following are pics that I had to scan for a video that the class is making for Alex's Confirmation. Alex was such a cute little thing...........still is, however, he's 16 now!!

It's a Farmchick Give Away!!

Hey there all you blogger friends, just wanted to let you in on a give away that's happening over at Farmchick's site. Check it out.........she makes some awesome candles!! Good Luck!!

I'm a Blog Slacker.........

I had many plans to blog this weekend, but the time went so fast. We were so busy the last couple days. Went shopping Saturday out of town, Sunday, I woke up and started cleaning out the garage in preparation for my sons Confirmation party. Was out there most the day, and have a huge pile of garbage!! I guess I am a last minute blogger before I head off to work.

Enjoy the following pics!!!!

I received my sign from Kindra the other day. I love it, and I know our Christmas will be much brighter this year because of it!! Head on over to her site and check out her creations.

Thought I needed a Fall wreath this year, so I made one. However, when I was cleaning the garage yesterday, I found one that I had made last year!! LOL Can you say..."I'm losing it??"

This is by far my favorite pumpkin this year. It grew on its side. Closer to Halloween, I will carve something creative in it.

Ahhh, homemade spaghetti sauce is what kept me busy last weekend. I am hoping to make more, as I have quite a few tomatoes left. (they are still green) The sauce it great, my son loves it.

This weekend, I started messing around with my photo options, editing, etc. This is a pic of my friends son. Thought it turned out pretty cool. I made her a copy and framed it.

That's all for today. I need to get going and get ready for work. Hope you all have a great Monday!!

Make it a Great Week,

Rita

It's Almost Friday!! Woohoo!!

Man, I have been waiting for Friday all darn week!! I think only working 2 days last week, made this week kick my butt!! I have been sooooo extremely tired all week. The weather here has been awesome, so I don't know what's up with me. (maybe it was too much house cleaning last week?)

I will try and update tomorrow sometime, or maybe even tonight if I can keep my eyes open.

Have a great Friday!!!

Homecoming Week 2008

For the past week, my sons school has been celebrating Homecoming. This was always my favorite time of the school year. We used to have 50's days....now they have 70-80's days, not sure what they had against the 50's??!! Tonight is the football game, and the dance to follow. Alex is at the game, will be going to the dance, and then to a friends house if it's not too late. A nice quiet evening for his mother. I was planning on going to the game, however in the 1st quarter the score was 29=0. So, thought I would save $5 and stay home.

The past 2 days, I have been doing some fall cleaning. I'm very tired of cleaning right now. For those of you that invited me into your home to clean, I am going to have to decline. I still have 2 bedrooms, part of the bathroom and laundry room left. Oh, and the garage, that has to get cleaned/organized. ugghh.

In the midst of all the cleaning, I did find time to have lunch with my friend Carrie yesterday. She had surgery 3 weeks ago, so was off from work. It was great to see her, she's doing well. She's not looking forward to coming back to work. (who would be??)

Arthur is doing pretty well. I'm still a little concerned about him, but I think he will be ok. As for Alex, he has improved over the week with the nasty crud that he had. Hopefully that crud stays away for a really long time. (I don't do well with being sick.)

That's all for tonight!! Hope you all have a great weekend.





Enjoying the day,

Rita
