happy new year....

May your friends be added,
enemies subtracted,
Joys be multiplied,
sorrows divided...
may you enjoy 2012 to the fullest....

off to do more shopping....

yes more shopping to be done, spending the day with my daughter & sister at the mall, i know lots of crowds but don't get to spend much time with my little sis so we'll be having fun & she's never been to Anthropologie, going to be amazed!!!
enjoy you're day....i promise soon i will be back in my sewing room, still having a little playtime!

a christmas greeting....

"there's more, much more, to Christmas than candlelight and cheer; it's the spirit of sweet friendship that brightens all year. it's hope reborn again, for peace, for understanding and for the goodwill to men"
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

ho ho ho .....

only four more days, YiKEs!  i always think "i'll be so prepared this year with nothing but relaxation & stitching going on these last few days"  NOT! 
but as i'm sweeping my floors, before the wrapping, baking & more wrapping begins i keep getting drawn in by my wonderfully primitive santa by the Burlap Owl, how could i not?
enjoy your last few either busy or relaxing..... cheri

priceless....

$15.00 spent by papa on makeup kit for granddaughters, grandma's visit to the beauty parlor priceless.....
and it wasn't even 7:00 in the morning i'm sure i'll need several touchups!

primitive angel.....

sharing my new primitive angel i purchased from Primitive Basketcase, love, love love her....don't make dolls myself, i'm deficient in the stuffing skills needed for that art.....not alot or any sewing being done lately to many other holiday activities going on, today we're making our Christmas Sugar cookies & decorating them, taking the grandkids to the 99 cent store for their Christmas shopping and they're staying with us for a couple of days, definitely no sewing but lots of laughter, snuggles, dress up, legos, and such.....
hope your enjoying your holiday season.....

loving my twinkling snowman in his vintage marshmellow can, a new decoration this year i bought from Sweetpeas Primitives, she has lots of wonderful primitive treasures.....

glitter ornaments.....

another Pintrest pin inspired these glitter ornaments, the original is a little house....changed mine to a tree shape first, then a simple circle....i did use old cards for one tree but found the scrapbook paper worked the best and added glittered edges, so pretty.....

got our tree....

just thought the tree looked cute in the rumble seat of the Model A ....
although after getting tree back home and taking off again to run other errands, then having a car full of stuff and greg leaving the turn signal on (has no beeping noise to let you know that) low & behold the car in dead!!! what now dear?  so since i know nothing about driving a stick shift i get the fun of pushing this cute green car so he can pop start it....as of this the car has lost it's cuteness for awhile....
now sweaty....
but my Genie bra held up just fine!
enjoy your weekend  cheri

as seen on tv.....

i'm a child of the sixties and that means going braless most of the time, i know this is way too much information!
anyway have started to be more cognizant of wearing at least a sports bra during the day, still find it uncomfortable.....my daughter told me about the genie bra said everyone raves about them and now i'm a proud wearer & raver of this most comfortable bra i've ever worn.....
enjoy your bra on or off day.....
