What I am working on....now and later...


I have started working on this class kit from Bo Bunny.
This is the first "class kit" that I have purchased and then come home to do. So far it has been super easy. The directions with step by step photos have been great!

And this is my next project. I always do calendars for my friends so they will not be shocked to see it here! lol

This is also from Bo Bunny...
here is the link to their blog if your interested...

I have also been working on a Christmas Survival Kit for the BFF. I want to have this done and together soon because I want to give it to her right after Thanksgiving. (it's a gift so no pix of it yet. :>)
But I am going to include in the kit things like:

Gift tags

Christmas Cards (just a couple of these for last minute needs because she usually does her own fab photo cards)

Shopping list pad

Gift Card holders

If anyone has any suggestions of things I can include I would appreciate it!

Sunday Stitchin....

I usually do a lot of stitching on Sunday's.

The laundry room is in the basement so to save me time from running up and down the stairs, I usually plan on doing my stitching and watching my DVR'd programs in between loads.

I hope to start this today!
So excited....

Oh and I hope to have pix of my Halloween stitching here next week!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I am glad that you have found your way to my new blog!

Some of you may know me from my primitive decor blog, Prim Thymes.
Others may know me from my scrappy blog, Crop Circles.
And still some more out there may know me from my weight loss/healthy food blog My Weigh.

And if you do know me from there, HOWDY FRIENDS!

I have decided to compile my three blogs into one single blog that is about all of the above PLUS some. I hope you will join me on my daily ramblings about my life.

Maybe we can all learn a few new things on the way.

Thanks for stopping by!
Rosemary
