Hare it is!




I finished my little bunny or hare, which ever you think. I sort of like him. I think I'll make a few more to fill a bowl or basket.
I did organize my sewing corner today. So another thing from my Spring cleaning list to cross off. I have a couple of little fabric bags to sew, will try to work on them tomorrow, and post pics when I'm done.
Just wanted to post the pic, I said I would if I liked the end results. I have a couple of other things I want to try, just need to draw the pattern.
Tell me what you think. I love comments.

It's Thursday and A Few Pics




It's Thursday already. Where has the time gone? It's cold today, but the weather man says it will warm up. I'm still looking for Spring around the corner. My back is finally feeling more like it's back to normal. Not sure if I told you last week or not, But we were laid off from our jobs. Both of us. This is only to be a temporary lay off, not sure when we'll return to work. Thinking maybe next week. I've taken advantage of the time off and tried to do some Spring cleaning. I've finished the closets and major dusting. Whew! And I've tried to do a little crafting.
I've finished Tulip Time a freebie offered by Betty at http://www.primitivebettys.blogspot.com/ . It was fun to stitch up and kept me thinking Spring is on it's way.
The bunny pillow is one I did a while back, it's one of my favorites. And I tend to leave it out, not just during the Spring time.
An old ceramic roaster I filled with grungy easter eggs, my chocolate bunnies, and fabric carrots sits in front of a little quilt top I made. And the basket of ivy, I made the basket a long time ago, but it too is one of my favs.
I have a few more things I'm working on. Some bunny bowl fillers. I felt creative yesterday and drew a little bunny on some muslin, stitched it up and am now making it look grungy. If I like the results I post a pic later. And I'll organize a few things in the sewing corner today.
Hope you are all having a Great week. Until later.........

Simply A Saturday

Just another Saturday. A little cooler than the past couple of days and a light rain has set in. It was to be raining all day, so glad that it hasn't though. It's been dreary and cool.
After 3 visits to the chiro this past week I think my back is going to be alright. Just a little twinge every now and then.
You might notice some "New" little graphics on my side bar. I LOVE them! I searched and couldn't find what I wanted, so I called in a Pro. Jenn over at http://www.thevillagepeddler.blogspot.com/ is fantastic with graphics. I told her what Iwas trying to find and Wa Laaaaaaa! Thanks Jenn, your'e the best!
I've been stitching a little today. And of course the usual domestic goddess chores had to be done.
I'm sorry this isn't much of a post. Not much going on here today, but wanted to post something.
Have a Happy Weekend!!

Thursday News & Finished Goods





Good Morning Blog Land Friends!!! I think I'm recovered from jet lag, lol. But, have been down in the back. I did something last Saturday, not quite sure what, other than bending over to pick up one of the girls. Anyway, I was in pain most of the weekend, hubby took me to the chiro first thing Monday morning, and found I had 2 collasped discs, YUCK!! Had a treatment and was sent home to lay flat on my back, not fun and I'm not a back sleeper! Went back yesterday and the chiro reset my rib, OUCH! Well, atleast I can breathe and it doesn't hurt now, but my back is so sore. I hope it gets better as time goes by, I do feel better than I did just not 100%.

I did finish some of the stitching I had been working on. All 3 are Stacy Nash designs, love her primitive cross stitch designs. The framed stitchery is a Skeleton Tree, lov it. Then there is Sarah's Hanging Pinkeep and Emma and her pony sewing roll. All stitched up fast. I have another one to start, maybe I'll work on it today while I'm still restricted on what I can do. No reaching up, and no pushing, pulling, or dragging.

The weather is warming up, already in the 40's this morning. And they say in the upper 50's maybe 60's. A few nice days, and rain in the forecast. then of course cold weather in the future. Where oh where is Spring? I've seen a robin in the yard, can spring be just around the corner?

What's on your plate today? Is it warm in your neighborhood? What are you crafting?

Thank you for stopping by and visiting my blog. I love your comments, so don't forget to leave one so I know you were here. Comments always make my day!

Prim Blessings

Home

After a long flight, we made it home. So nice to be here, you know that feeling you get after being gone a while and you arrive back home and walk in. Jet lag has set in. By the time we arrived home we had already been up over 24 hours. And then you need to unwind. After relaxing and unwinding it hits you. So it will take a few days to get back on schedule.
Today I will go get the girls and see if they remember me, lol. I'm anxious to see what they do when they see us. Will they remember, will they be mad, will they be ready to come home, lol?
And of course there is no food in the house, so a stop at the store is first in order after that. So with that I'll leave you for now. I'll post again later after I've returned .
Have a Great Day!

Departure Time Has Come

The time has come for us to depart and return to the real world. We spent yesterday picking up last minute items at the Aloha Swap Meet at the Stadium and saying our goodbyes to our friends there. We connected with our friends from San Francisco that arrived on Tuesday, having coffee and walking around the market place in Waikiki. A few last minute goodbyes and back to our condo to think about getting packed.
Now packing and hoping to not be overweight! And waiting for time to head to the airport. It's cool and very windy here today. But those winds will make for a nice tail wind on the way home helping to push us along.
I'm hoping the weather will be decent when we get there, not in the cold, cold, cold digits anyway, lol.
and so, We say Aloha Nui Loa to Hawaii.....until we meet again.

Aloha, and see ya back on the Mainland!

Countdown to Home

The time grows near for us to return to the cold and frozen tundra we call home. Am I ready? NO! But yes, does that make sense to you. I am not ready to leave the warm tropical weather, not ready to return to work and driving in the cold frozen weather, but I do miss the girls. I fear they will have forgotten me by the time I get back. I've called home to check on them, and I know they are being very well cared for. And of course you always miss your own home, it just needs to be here, along the beach, lol. So we will spend our last few days saying goodbye to our friends, eating one last time at the Shrimp truck and eating apple bananas one last time. Then we'll board the plane for the long flight back to the mainland.
I have no pictures to post today!! I did have, we're not sure what happened to them. I went to download them to the computer and it said the disc needed to be formatted again, and by doing that I would lose my pictures. Hubby tried to solve the problem, but I had no choice but to reformat it. Well it was no big deal, I had taken a few pictures of some of the different trees here on the Island. I thought you might be interested to see, but then again, maybe not, lol.
I took a little time to update my blog. I thought it was time for a different header picture. Well, since I didn't have a really neat one like some of you have (where do you get those anyway), I used one of my own. It won't be there long, lol. I'll search for a better one!
I hope you are all warm, healthy, and happy! Don't forget to leave me a comment, I love hearing from you.
Aloha................until we meet again
