Hello, again


 


Once again I have been MIA for several years.  Life happens and when it does, my blog evidently doesn't.  But I dreamed of  this blog last night and woke up with it on my mind.  So, here I am!

Let me catch you up....the oldest daughter, Ashley, is back in Alabama, but only for another 2 weeks and then she and her two babies (who are 10 and 8 - can you believe that?) are going back to Louisiana.  Daughter number 2, Jenna, and her precious baby, who is 1, are living with us for the moment.  Daughter #3, Lauren, is still in Huntsville, no longer with The Walking Company (I miss the shoes).  She and her beau have a precious kitty named Ridge.  And most shocking is that Daughters 4 and 5, affectionately known as The Squirrels, live together in Tuscaloosa and both attend The University of Alabama.  Harley is a junior who just changed her major to Marine Biology and is in the Million Dollar Marching Band while Mallory is a freshman who is majoring in neuroscience/psychology.  

As for me, I'm not in the classroom anymore.  I am the office manager for an electrical construction company...the same one Hubs works for.  I'm actually in school again working on getting my MBA.  No, the diet didn't work from the last time I was blogging with any regularity.  It seems as though I am always on a diet.  That is really tiring.  And sad.  Yes, I still read.  Yes, I still do the book blog with my BFF, but only on Facebook now.  No, I haven't sewn any clothes in a long while.  But, I have started cross stitching again (it's only been about 10 years since I have done that LOL).

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)
