What'd You Get?

So, Christmas is over.  How was it for you?  We had a great day!  When I woke up, I thought I was the first one up (it was 7:30), but Mallory came sneaking into my room and said, "It's 7:30.  You said not to bother anyone before then and I've been up since 5:30 waiting."  How can you not love that?

We opened presents.  Everyone loved what they received....Lauren got all the Harry Potter movies, Mallory got a new DSI game thing, Harley got an electric scooter.  Jenna's favorite gift was the Bob Marley shirt and Ashley loved the new jeans.  Are you wondering what I got? heehee I scored. Big time.  I got a Kindle and a string of chocolate colored pearls.

We had an early dinner/late lunch.  We ate, laughed and all was merry and bright.  When I crawled into bed last night (at 8:30) I was exhausted and I slept wonderfully!

Tomorrow is back to business as usual.  I've got to go back to work cause our governing committee decided our preschool would be open between Christmas and New Years to help those parents who have to work.  Hopefully it will be a quick work week.  Of course, I need to go grocery shopping and I've got to clean the house. Especially my bedroom since I'm getting a new bedroom set after the first of the year....I guess you could say I got that for Christmas as well :)

My Reading Habits

I am an avid book reader.  I have even been known to read a good bit of fanfiction (I'm a Twifan...yes, I admit that in public).  Since joining Goodreads I've come to love to do reading challenges.  In case you're like my best friend and have no clue what that might be, let me explain.  A reading challenge can be as simple as setting a reading goal for the year.  Or it can be as complex as one I'm doing next year that is an Artist Color Wheel Challenge - find book covers that are mainly the colors on the color wheel and are the shades of the grey scale. Anyway, I read Book Chick City's blog  http://www.bookchickcity.com/  and they're doing a Mystery/Suspense reading challenge that I'm going to join in on next year.  I'm going to see if I can read 12 mystery/suspense books.  You may be thinking that that isn't a whole lot of books for someone who claims to be an avid reader; and you're right, it's not BUT I normally don't read myste...

Halloween's around the corner

So, I've been working on Hallween designs this week. What you see in the picture is a sneek peek of a set I'm listing next week for Bow*nified Designs Spooky Chic Halloween launch. I've got a OOAK skirt set almost finished and another set ready to cut out. Who'd have thought that I'd be working on Halloween stuff the very week the girls go back to school. I surely didn't. But I feel the need to keep up with what is selling :) And speaking of the girls going back to school this week...I've already subbed for 3 days! It's the first FULL week of school and teachers are missing days. CRAZY! However, I mustn't complain. This at least gets me in the classroom and schools so teachers won't forget me and the principals won't forget me so they can give me a job ;0)

Crafty Round Up for mid-October

 Hi friends!!  I figured I needed to come share my sewing/stitching/quilting updates with you because it's been a while.  So, let's get started... First up is quilty goodness.  And it comes with a story.  Christmas 2021 I bought myself a block of the month subscription from Fig Tree Fabrics for her Manchester by the Sea Mystery BOM program.  If you are not familiar with Joanna and Fig Tree Fabrics, go check her out.  Her stuff is GORGEOUS!!!  I've bought her fabric forever for clothes for the girls.  Joanna does the block of the month programs and sends out fabric and patterns each month and you end up with a beautiful sampler quilt.  Manchester by the Sea was scheduled for April 2022 thru March 2023.  I got a beautiful envelope of fabric and instructions to make blocks each of those months and did not touch a one of them until we came back from Disney last month.  I'm a member of her BOM group on Facebook and have seen the fin...
