Another Monday

Well here we are at the beginning of another week. Starting out so nice and then it looks like it could get miserable. We have predictions of 75 here today and sunny. But later today dropping temps and thunderstorms and we have ball games today. 2.5" of rain on Saturday night made it pretty soggy here already. Ah well April showers, I guess.

But I am looking ahead to summer with my new handbag called Flip Flop Beauty. It makes me think about summer and long for it as well. I need to add a little bead work to it and make it a little more fun. Just haven't done it yet. Used the same pattern as you can tell, as was used for the blue one of several posts ago. (Is that really proper sentence structure) Made 3 of them and sold one at work the other day. That gal is a beader and she is adding her own bead work so I am anxious to see it.

Well it's my day off and I need to get to work and enjoy the nice morning. Maybe a little walk with Jack my dog and then who knows...

Spring Break

Well here we are at Spring Break. I am off for the week and just returned from a family weekend that was great. Trying to get some stuff done since we have no actual spring break plans. Just a little update this week I am typing recipes for the church cook book, making a purse for a friend, and making more scrub caps for the gals at work. All worthwhile endeavors. I know it is just another kind of work but it is a fun kind of work. So I will keep you updated on the purses and the caps and just the week in general. Here is pic of another hat just to keep things moving along. The ones currently under construction are much bolder. Will post them soon.

Last attempt at Winter I hope

You know at Christmas time I really love snow, but I was supposed to go to a baseball game today. I drove to work in snow and now it is 34 degrees. I surely hope this is winter's last hurrah. I want summer and I want it bad. Along that line here is a picture of my new Spring/Summer purse. I love a big purse these days and this is a big one. Measures 14 inches wide at top, 17 inches tall with 10 inch drop to handles. I just finished it last week and so far have not loaded it up toooooo much and so I still love it.


Also great news, I just made my first Etsy sale. It is great fun to actually sell something there. I have the hat all packaged up and ready to ship. Scrub caps are all the rage in my hospitals operating room. The one and only thing you can wear that has any personal anything to it in the OR. I have also been donating them to patients requiring a head shave prior to OR. Seems like I would want a hat and not a disposable one that itches either.


Easter is almost here. Traveling this year to southern MI. Traditions you know. They will have their daffodils blooming and some tulips and I will be so jealous but it lets me know that soon they will bloom here also. Easter with my sister is always a joy and I anticipate this year will be no different.
Blessings of the Risen Lord to you all.
