Another Year...

.....Older!

I would like to know where this year went to, and I'm not sure if I like this whole "getting older" bit. Ah well, it is what it is, so I plan to spend "my" day by sleepin' in, and attending a sit and sew. Sounds like a pretty good deal don't ya think?

Thanks for stopping, and take care! - Elizabeth

Happy Thanksgiving

May your day be full of family, friends, good food and thanksgiving!

Take Care - Elizabeth

I have been informed....

...by my MammaBear, that it is time for me to update my blog.

Well then, here we go :)

The car is up and running again - only a new air intake sensor was needed!

The cold-bug/virus is done, but has left me with a nasty cold sore under my eye and on my cheek! (I know.....I'm weird - I do not get cold sores around my mouth like most "normal" people do)

Other than that there is nothing new on the crafty front to share.

So, I'll let you all get on to more exciting blog posts. Take care, and thanks for stopping! - Elizabeth

One of the Hazards...

of teaching up to 200 5 to 13 yr. olds per day is that some of them like to share EVERYTHING with me........

Sometimes, I just really wish they wouldn't!

It's my Mamma Bear's...

BIRTHDAY!

I Love Ya Mamma Bear!

Sewing and Arby's Hates Me!

When I FINALLY got to Sit & Sew today (more on that later) I whipped together this bag. Super easy and super fast! You can find the free pattern and tutorial here.

Due to lack of time and not having my interfacing on hand, I did not get my pretty pink flower made/attached and the pockets reinforced with the interfacing. But, overall, I think it turned out cute. Again, easy-peasy...exactly what I needed.

I also purchased the 2 patterns shown. One is from "My Stitching Peace" and the wording says We are Snow Blessed and the other is a paper-pieced pattern by "Little Bits" called "Calendar Quilts & Pins by Cindi Edgerton". Both look like fun! Who knows when they will be completed, but they have now been officially added to my stash :)

Now, on to why Arby's hates me. Yesterday evening on my hour drive home from work, I pulled off the interstate to stop at the Arby's drive-thru. All fine and dandy right? WRONG - my car died! Long story short, I got it going again and made it home safe and sound.

This morning, on my way to Sit & Sew I had the hankerin' for Arby's again and went through the drive-thru (different town and drive-thru by the way!). All is well right? WRONG - my car dies AGAIN. This time there is no getting her started :( She is now a resident of the Arby's parking lot until I can get her towed tomorrow or Monday to my mechanic.

So, although it could have turned out much worse, today has been a stressful day! At least I can say I got something accomplished....

Well, goodbye for now! Hope you all have a safe and Happy Halloween! Take Care and Thanks for Stopping - Elizabeth
