Things I've been workin on;)

I have been working on SEVERAL projects lately...some quicker than others:) I've had a little time without Goose, as she's been spending time with her daddy.  I would like to say that I have been highly motivated and focused on GETTIN things done....HA! I have managed a to finish a few things.
This little beauty was created during THE GREAT YARD SALE DISASTER!It's going to be a Christmas present for.....GOOSE! shhhh pls don't tell her!! It was a loom knitting project. And as I had so much time on my hands during the pathetic sale event, aforementioned, I managed to complete it:) Guess that is a good thing, considering the NON sale event!!   Now, if I can just get it to shape up a little! Does anyone know how to "block" a project like this? I know I've seen it SOMEWHERE about blocking finished projects but, well,  I am NOT spending another minute searching for that, thank you very much:(

 This "Seashell" bag was made for Iaa(aka Irene) as she heads up north for the rest of the summer. Just something for her to remember  those of us still braving "Sunny" Florida!!  It was (obviously) my first Messenger Bag  soooo LET'S  just say I learned a few things while making it!! The fabric was out of my grandma's stash  that I received a couple of months ago.
I've also got a dress I finished....but THAT is another story post coming soon! 

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;  let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. Psalm 95:1-2
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Yooohoooo:)

No I AM NOT DEAD!! I'm sure you were beginning to think that. It's OK, I was beginning to worry myself;) I actually have been on a Diet of sorts,  trying to curb the computer addiction SO prevalent in today's world.  Unfortunately, I didn't really discover that elusive fountain, spilling over with re- emurging time and boundless energy. ( Cause I'm NO longer CHAINED to the computer).  I did manage to complete a couple of quick projects. Pics are on their way ppl relax!  I am no longer chasing that absolutely unBelievable concept of BALANCE! balance shmalance KISS MY GRITS!!  I probably lost more time trying to "get balanced" than if I'd just kept on keepin on! Of course, the bathroom probably wouldn't be clean, right now, either.  HA!

All funnin aside, I have been focused on some other aspects of life. Like.... Chronic health problems, among other issues. They just keep croppin up, usually about the time that I've actually made some plans for my day, week whatever! Guess that is why they call them CHRONIC huh???? Thankfully, I know I am not alone in this. I know too, that it has a purpose(not sure what THAT is yet though:), it is for my good, and most of all, somehow, in ways I can't begin to understand, This WILL glorify my Lord Jesus Christ, my Saviour, my Rock.
And, of course, I've missed all of you here in Blogsville! The sunny smiles, and cheery hello's brighten up my day more than you imagine! glad to see you are still here:)
