Good Morning / Guten Morgen !

Today I would like to introduce you to 3 blogs that I enjoy and that you might like as well, if you don't know of them already.

Let me know how you like them. I always love to find new blogs that inspire me and these certainly do. If only I had all the time in the world to actually make or try all these different crafts and/or projects. Just looking at all the patterns I have in my file, I would need 30 years to finish them all.

Also today, I am announcing a GIVE-AWAY. Yep, something you can all try for. Now isn't that exciting? Don't you want to try for it? And WHAT, do you ask, am I giving away and what do you have to do for it? Well.....do you really want me to tell you? Ok fine, I will. You will get this:

 

in this color:

You will get 10 of them in a box. And now......drumroll please.....this is what you will have to do for it: Be the 50's person to leave me a comment. In the comment you will have to mention the date of my first post. Now isn't that easy? Don't you want to be part of this? So off you go and get started, lol. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

As it was so nice and for this time of year, warm outside, I went outside with my dogs to play. Boy did they love it and have a good time. Would you like a little glimpse of my critters (and bedwarmers)? You said YES. Ok, here we go:

 

 

  

They so love to play with a big soccer ball. If I want them to get tired, all I have to do is let them chase that ball for 10 minutes and they are ready to get back to their dog beds and a little nap. Just LOVE my critters.

Now I thought I would share 2 pictures with you. They were taken at my friends wedding a couple of weeks ago. I just love their simplicity (no faces). To me sometimes they are the best kind of pictures and say the most.

  

I just loved her wedding dress with all the little pearls and the long drain. If their faces weren't on it, I would show you some more, but I respect their privacy. What do you think? Are they not beautiful?

For now I will bit you all farewell and wish you a good day. See you later alligator.....after?

Getting over the Hump Day

Good Morning,

Woke up to a bright, sunny day. After two of my favorite cups of coffee I am ready to wisk through my day and the many things that need doing today. I have an old van that has been used to go to flee markets and craft shows over the last few years. When I looked at it yesterday, it became very clear to me, how much it was time to reorganize and clean it up. Got to admit, I have procrastinated on that. With it being so nice today, I will tackle this project and see what I can come up with.

Last night my lady Neighbor came over and brought me some cotton yarn and asked me to please crochet her some potholders with it. Since she is such a wonderful lady, I could not turn her down. While watching one of my favorite shows, NCIS, I got started on them right away and will finish them this evening. Will post picture tomorrow. This might help me get back in the groove or so I hope anyway.

Will be back to post some more later.....Till than

Tuesday Question and Groundhog Day

Good Morning.....I hope this will find you in good Spirits!

Can hardly believe it, but here is February already. Today is Groundhog Day. And OH NO.....he saw his shadow, which means 6 more weeks of winter. Brrrrrrr! Personally I am so ready for Spring. Can't wait for the first flowers to pop their little heads through the dirt. Just can't wait....but waiting we must. As long as the sun shows up every day I will be ok, just hate them cloudy days. I really shouldn't be complaining. Living here in the south is certainly not as bad as living in some of them areas that were slammed by lots of snow and cold, cold weather. To me, Snow is only fun when you live in an area where you can enjoy this snow, to go sledding, skiing etc. Oh well, let's look on the bright side.....more cups of good Hot Chocolate or hot tea to keep us warm and snuggly in the evenings.

Here now to the Tuesday Question:

Since I am still pretty new to this blogging world, I have all these questions running around in my head. So what I would like to know is, how do you choose the blogs that you read on a daily basis? What characteristics do they need to have? Are you looking for just crafts? Or are you also interested in other everyday life stories?

When you write your own blog, how do you find the right words or do you just write without thinking about it much? What is your approach?

Personally I write my best work at night, while laying in bed, half asleep. Don't you think that is funny? I do. But than, when I sit in front of my computer in the morning, not one word wants to come out and jump onto the paper. ukkk, hate that. But what is a girl to do? I think some people are just born writers. And funny and entertaining too. What I would give for that. So, I guess in the meantime I just keep tuckering along and see what comes out.

On the crafting front, still not much has happened for me over the last month. I do a little bit here and a little bit there. I did finish my shawl. Sorry no pictures yet, as I need a model or just a warmer day outside, to take a good picture of it. So I beg your patients one more time.


Now I hope someone will please leave me my first comment. I would really love to hear all your opinions. Until than, have a wonderful day and a wonderful week. Bye for now!
