Ginger Man Express

Welcome aboard the Ginger Man Express, giggle. I'm totin' the little gingers with me and I stuffed a few this afternoon. I can't wait to get them finished and see how they all look.
We left home yesterday, headed south. All was well the first hundred miles or so, then we ran into rain. The rain turned to a mix of rain and snow, then snow, then rain and snow again. Cloudy, dreary, dark, you know the kind of day I'm talking about. The temps in the low 30's, but above the freezing mark although barely. By the time we stopped for the night we had ran out of the snow and the rain ended shortly after we stopped. I know we had snow at home just not sure how much or if it is still there. Maybe my BIL(you know who you are) will post me a comment and let me know the weather, giggle.
Here in the south it's in the low 50's, kinda cool, but I'll take this over snow anyday. Thinking about calling work tomorrow and just telling them I'll see them next spring, lol. Hoping you are warm and dry where ever you are.
Will find out what the week will be after we unload tomorrow. Check back to see where the next adventure will be.
Until then.....................Prim Blessings

A Finishing Friday

I used my time today to "finish" up odds and ends. I'm not a die hard shopper, so I stayed home and let the ones who live for it, go for it. And after hearing on the evening news that a Wal-Mart worker was trampled in New York by shoppers today, it just reinforces why I don't go. How sad that someone has to lose their life over shopping.

I am loving my peppermint ornies that I teamed with my friend PammyJo on. We are so good. Well, I want more, giggle. More ornies that is. So I found the cutest little "prim" ginger man and set about making him a reality. I sewed one to see what he looked like finished, and then started a dozen more. I will cut them out and stuff them, take them along on this trip and hope to sew up the back and add either bells or buttons down his front. Isn't he a doll, giggle. My tag team partner and I are thinking our next project might be tree ornies. Hmmmmm, I wonder what could be after that?

It's back to the real world tomorrow for me. I've had a few good days at home. I have some of my shopping finished and a few more items to get. Hope you all had a wonderful turkey day, we did. Always eat too much! Have a Great week ahead!

Until later.....................Prim Ginger Blessings

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Enjoy your day with family and friends. Bring out old traditons and make new. We'll enjoy our traditional Thanksgiving feast, even though it's just us.

I worked on some decorating yesterday. And I grunged up those peppermint ornies. I like them better after I grunged them. I have more decorating I'll work on today. and some crafting I want to work on. I'm posting pics of my small tree that sits in the corner of my crafting area in the back room and my centerpeice on the kitchen table, and some of the ornies I grunged.

Prim Blessings to all.

Whatcha Workin' on Wednesday

Whatcha workin on Wednesday? There's lots to do at my house. I have to make a run to the grocery store first of all. I'll make my pies today, one less thing to do tomorrow. And I'm itching to get my holiday decorations out and up around the house. I've been reading everyone's blogs and see all the decorating being done and I'm totally in the mood.

I've been working on a primitive notebook cover. I just love these, and so easy to do. I have to sew the button on the one that's open and then it's done. And remember those ornies that were a team effort? They turned out so neat, I have to sew a bell in the center, and decided if I want to tea stain them a little bit or not. A big Thanks to my friend PammyJo for being my tag team partner, giggle. What shall we do next?

I can't wait to see what you are all workin on this Wednesday. Have a Great day.

Until Later..........................Prim Holiday Blessings

Take Me Home Tuesday

Monday was a busy day, full of miles. We unloaded in Tulsa, Ok, and then headed to Elk River, Mn. up by Minneapolis, empty no less. Yep, I said empty, 735 miles of empty. We'll be picking up concrete bases for the lights and taking them back to the home plant. Waiting to load as I type!

Then it's home for 3 whole days. I have cooking, cleaning, laundry but, most importantly crafting to do. For the LOVE of it, I don't have time to be sitting here waiting to load, giggle. I'm so excited, lol.

I have pics of some things to post but will have to wait till I get home. Tomorrow will be pic day.

Hope you all are having a GREAT day!

Until later...................................Prim Blessings

Sunny Sunday

It was a beautiful sunny day for the most part! We left home this morning and it was in the 20's and tonight in Oklahoma it's in the 50's! Cold enough at home that the girls needed their sweaters on! Check out their pic, giggle.

I stopped over at Ragggedy Angel's blog to see if I had won Gracie. Well, she will be going to Justina's house. Ohh man! I was so disappointed, I was sure she would be coming to live with me.Well, I've taken her pic off my site so I won't be reminded by her little face that I didn't win, giggle. I've never won anything in my life! But, Congrats to Justina, I'm sure she'll have a good home. Maybe she'll run away to mine, lol.

Looking forward to a short week this week. We won't be spending the Holiday with the kids as we didn't have a load headed in that direction. We'll spend a quiet day at home, and I'll work on some things I want to finish up. I am looking forward to some more home time.

That team effort I have going on with my friend PammyJo is well under way. I finished my part of sewing and she picked them up and painted them all, TODAY!! And omgosh are they gonna be cute. Can't wait for you all to see them. But stop over at her blog, http://www.grammysalteredlife.blogspot.com/ and check out the saw she painted. She is the most awesome painter!

I hope you all had a Great weekend. I'll be looking forward to all the family get together stories of the upcoming Holiday.

Until later.....................Prim Blessings

Saturday on a Sad Note

Well, today was again a busy day. Had eye Dr. appts, and we did a little bit of shopping. I have also wanted the little candle lights in the windows, so we set out in search of them and they are now in my windows! They look so warm and inviting, I Love it.

The sad note is the passing of my cousin Larry. His dad and my dad were just 20 years and 2 days apart in age, they came from a big family! Larry has been my only cousin to keep in touch on a regular basis, sometimes just a forward, but I always knew he was there. I had gotten an email from him on Nov. 12th telling me he had bad news. He had liver cancer, started having problems the end of October and the Dr. had just confirmed it. Told me he didn't know how much time he had and hoped to make it through Christmas. His son and dil just had a new baby recently. He thanked me for being such a good cousin and told me he loved me. That was my last email. I found out he had passed away by reading it on another blog last night, he passed away last Monday, and his funeral was yesterday. I'm still in shock. I wish someone had called me. And the day I told hubby about the email he said we should go see him, I should not have waited. It was only 5 days after his last email that he passed away. I will miss him. Take nothing for granted, my heart said I should go and I didn't.

On a happier note the weather was a little warmer today. Hope you all had a good day. I have my work done and now am going to work on finishing up my part of those team effort ornies, giggle. Hope the painter is ready!

Until later.
