A Little News...

My sister and I have finally started our joint Bog!  It's a little rough, so bare with us.  When I get back from my mini vacation next week we'll add some more touches to it.  It will be all about our sewing adventures.  Hopefully you'll come follow along with us over at The Clumsy Spider!  And of course you can still keep reading here at Wishful Thinking and at my sister's blog, Tina's Place.

Stay tuned!

Feeling Pretty Terrible.

Have you ever uttered the words, "If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know."  And then wished you hadn't?

A family acquaintance passed away last night and his wife called me today to see if I could give her a hand getting her house ready for all the family and friends that were going to be stopping by to pay their respects...and I had to say no.  I said NO!  What's wrong with me!?  It's not like I didn't want to, I really just can't.  She said she understood and I believe her, but I still feel like total crap.

So I immediately next day delivered the BIGGEST sympathy plant 1800flowers.com had to offer.  

Now I'm going to go bathe the guilt off of my body.  :o\

It's All Positive Today!

 

Why not?!  It's just my favorite time of year and I can't help but to be in a good mood!  I've been pretty proud of myself for getting a lot accomplished in the last week.  I've been really trying to stay motivated around the house.  I've kept up with the dishes and kept the piles of junk to a minimum!  Woohoo!  I love when things aren't cluttered.

Tina and I went shopping on Saturday and picked up some Halloween decorations from the dollar store...they had some great finds!  Then headed over to Walmart and we found some fabric on clearance...as low as $1.00/yard!  We plan on having a sewing day to make pillow cases for charity.  We'll drop them off at the local quilt shop to be delivered to hospitals and shelters.  I think we'll post more about that later :o)

Speaking of quilts, I got my first quilt top done!  I won't put any pictures up until after it's all finished, but I'm ready for my next one!  I think this will really become a love of mine.

And finally we celebrated my brother's birthday yesterday!  I made him his favorite cake (German Chocolate-box mix with Coconut Pecan frosting from scratch) and even attempted to write on it with the left over homemade chocolate frosting I made last week.  I'm not as talented as my sister in the cake decorating department, but it tasted good!

I was playing around with Photoshop, so excuse all the different styles, lol....

*Notice the candles...that's how we roll.  lol

David waiting patiently to blow out the candles too!

"It's my turn!!"

Finally!

And here we are!  And yes, that's my LITTLE brother!

Have a great week girls :o)
