Time Marches On

And March is about to march out. Tomorrow is a brand new month, and April 1st. Do you play April Fool's jokes? We used to, but not so much anymore.
Our warm weather is not so warm anymore. It's blustery outside and the temp is falling. Maybe a snow flake by morning. But, I will not complain, we are not enduring what they are dealing with in Fargo, ND. I do hope for the best for them.
I have no pictures today, I feel bad. But, tomorrow will be different. Full of Surprises! You'll want to check back to see what I have in store. No Foolin'.
I've been visiting some of my favorite blogs, dropping comments here and there. I wanted to share with you one of interest, over at www.kankerdoodle.blogspot.com , she is going to make a wool throw, month by month, and share her progress month by month. She invites us to join her. She posted a pic of the throw on her blog, I love it, love the whole pic. So I'm thinking....do I need to start something else? No, but how fun to do something with someone. I just need wool. So, I'm debating. Go on over and check it out.
Have a Great evening, and create memories.

Happy Friday!!

Wow, the week has flown by! And I have not been very good about my posting.
So, to catch you up. I've been finishing some Spring cleaning, trying to take advantage of this time off. Yes, still laid off, and probably till next month.
I have to admit..........when you work all the time, you want to be home because there is so much you want to get done, but, not that I'm bored, but I miss the traveling! I didn't realize I did. We're never happy! So I keep telling myself, enjoy this while you can.
I took the quilts to the quilt lady and have finished up some UFO's that I posted in an earlier post. I have a few more to do, and a quilt I need to put the binding on. I've told myself not to start any thing new until all is done, lol. Like that's going to happen! But I'm trying really, really hard.
Our warm weather is getting colder. And the weather man says we will get snow tomorrow, 4 to 6 inches! I know it will melt the next day, but still. I'm just so ready for Spring!!
I hope you all had a Great week.
Keep Creating memories.

Finishing Out the Week

Good Sunday Morning. A cool wet morning here. We had a little rain shower, and I thought the weather man said no rain today. I finished out the week finishing up some projects. I had this pile of things that needed minor finishing touches to be done.....................and now I'm done.

I made another bunny pillow like the one I had on my header, it's just a smaller version. And 3 pinkeeps, I really like the quaker cross stitch one, it turned out nice. My addiction to pinkeeps seems to be getting worse, lol. I look at everything and think, pinkeep?

And these bags I finished. Well, except for the blue one, see the pins? I need to stitch the handles on, but wanted to include it in the pic. And I need a button. The little bags are some of my favs to make. They are so prim and functional as well.
It looks as if it will be quiet day here. A roast in the crock pot for supper. Hubby will be involved in the Nascar race and pre-race shows. I have some things to work on to keep me busy. What are your plans for the day?

Have a Super Sunday and Create Memories.

Hugs, Bren

It's Here!!!!

SPRING that is! And I welcome it even though it's only in the upper 20's this morning. Just knowing that warm weather is coming in the next few weeks instead of months is uplifting in itself. The weather man said in the 50's today, yippee! A few pics to share this morning.


Prim Easter coasters I made. They are backed with homespun.

Daffodils, my favorite Spring flower. These aren't real, but add a bright spot to the little corner where I sit and craft.

A little Spring chick penny rug. I love this little chick!

Not sure of my plans for the day. Have things to do , but not sure which direction I will go.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog. I love your comments, so be sure to leave one.

Have a Super Spring Day and Create Memories!

Creativity, Inside and Out

What a Great day! Fresh air and sunshine always does a body good. I spent some time working in the yard, picking up small sticks and raking some leftover fall leaves. So, I was creative cleaning out the flower beds and grooming the yard. And you feel good after you finish, just knowing its ready for Spring when it arrives.
Now I can work on something creative inside. I have a small pile of things to finish and something to start. So I can keep busy the next couple of days. I don't think our weather is going to stay this warm, not cold, but more normal temps.
Were you creative today? What did you work on? Hope you had a Great day, too!
Create Memories!

Pics to Share

I told you I would post pics.......... and here they are!



Here is "my" bunny pillow. I designed the pattern. I did make the one in my header photo, but that is NOT my design.

And my Spring chick, I designed this pattern also. I thought I needed some little chicks with my eggs and bunnies.

Look at all those wool pennies!! A friend from Canada needed a little help while we were on vacation in the Islands. I was able to help her out and as a Thank You she showered me with wool pennies. I am so excited, and can't wait to make something. Stop over and check out her blog and Etsy Store @ http://www.pennyrugsandmore.blogspot.com. Thanks again Colleen!

I made the little hare, you also saw this the other day posted on my blog. While making chicks I designed this Spring Chick Pinkeep. And the coaster is my design as well. I used wool for the carrot and it's backed with green check homespun

Just a closer picture, so you can get a better look at detail.

Ooppsss, LOL! Looks like this little Chick snuck in on me again.

Ok, now you've seen some of my latest goodies. Having this time off has been good for me creatively. Thanks for stopping by, Please leave me a comment, you know how I Love to hear from you.

Oh Yeah, one of the above items in the pics will be in a give a way in the near future!

Each day Creates a Memory.

Spring A time to Grow

Good Morning Friends!! It's shaping up to be a beautiful Spring day, weather man says temps close to 70!! WooHoo! I'm so ready. The weekend wasn't so bad, weather was warm and seemed to help my creativity flow. As Spring is a time for all things to grow, it's time for me to grow as well. Follow me as I spread my wings in the creative world. I'm not ready to tell everything just yet, but I hope to inspire you along with me.
As I sit here typing I realize I forgot to take pics of somethings I made this weekend. I'll take them and post a little later. You'll want to be sure to check back and take a look. One of the pics just might be of something I'll be offering in a Spring Give-A-Way!!
Have a Great day!
