Happy New Year!!

Yes, I realize it's already the 3rd, and I'm a little late in my Happy New Year wishes to you.  Hubs has been home and let's just say things in our house have been less than pleasant.  You know the old saying that "whatever you're doing on New Years Day is what you'll be doing all year long" ? Well, if that is the case I'm screwed for 2012.

Anywho....did you make any resolutions for the year?  I did.  Wanna hear them?  Of course you do :)

  • Loose 50 pounds (yes, that sounds like a lot, but I figure that's 1 pound a week and THAT is totally doable!)
  • Do better at menu planning for our family.  I love to plan menus.  It even helps me to spend less at the grocery store.  I don't always follow what I plan though.
  • Do better at keeping my house clean.  My house isn't dirty, it's just cluttered.  Really cluttered.  With everyone that lives here, it gets messy quickly.
That doesn't seem like a lot of resolutions, does it?  But really, how many people actually follow through on any of their resolutions for the whole year?  It's better to start small and add on :)

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...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

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)
