She told how quick and easy it was.[thank you Sarahliz]

I decided I needed a sewing fix, and this easy/quick top
was just the right idea. We are having winter here, but
it will be nice to have a new top when spring arrives.

I cut it out in this burgundy/purple paisley print
fabric.. [Not sure what type of fabric it is? It
feels like it is some type of rayon? Drapes well]
I have been sewing on it, and should have it ready
for photos tomorrow [if my camera fellow [hubby] is
available. ha]

Hope your having a wonderful  weekend..

Glass Cake Stand--- I want one!!!

Martha Stewart Brand.. Beautiful but out of  my budget
$179.00
Don't you just love the  scallops on it.. So white and clean.

Anchor Hocking Brand..
$39.00
So bland , after looking at the other ones.
ps... but the cake looks pretty..

Pioneer Woman Brand .
I love this one..but.......
it is no longer available on the wal mart sight,
so I went to ebay-- $125.00
OOPS...out of my budget too..

Looks like I will just have to keep looking and
wishing. ha  And using my old/trusty/ugly
Tubberware  gold bottom with cream top [I think
the top was white in its day[smile]. I have had it for
35 years..  It still holds the cakes quiet well, and
has served   a hungry hubby, and 2 growing children.
It has served me well.

I Love Polka Dots & Sewing pillows & Thrift Store finds

Don't you just love Polka Dots?
and red.. the absolute best color!!
Cindy bought me this baking dish and big bowl[cup]
for Christmas. I love them.. Too pretty to put away
in the cabinet.[smile]

Unusual  white ceramic canister , I found at the
thrift store - $2.99

When there is no time to sew.. Just embroider
your initial on fabric and make a pillow. Fun.
I was testing a monogram on my embroidery
machine, so  I used a color that Cindy has
in her sun room, and made her a quick sew/
easy sew pillow.

Cindy and I both have the last name start with an R..

Hope your having a good start to your new year.
Getting sewing or  organizing done.. And enjoying
the day..

2016 Goals for My Upcoming Year

               Christmas is behind us.. It was fun and  I totally
enjoyed the decorating, cooking and the time spent with my family.  But now..........the decorations have been put away
for the year [but ... Christmas 2016 will be here before you know it. ha].It's time to   make some goals..

 Goals for 2016

1- Make my monthly budget and remember to follow it as closely as possible.

2-Organizing [I have my house up for sale, and are redoing an older house ,we will be moving in to-  So... I am on a standstill
with this goal.. as, I will have to get moved first] I am making plans for the other house .

3- Remember to do my monthly meal plans as this really helps with  grocery budget. "Try" to eat and feed my family healthier meals.

4- Remember to take the extra time to spend with my husband, children and grandchildren.. Time is going so fast, every minute with our family is so important..  I have to remind myself.... its ok, to leave the house or yard work for  a time.. It will be there, once you spend that hour or two with the ones you love.

5- My sewing goal this year is to ............. sew some things for me, and to sew some things for the house.. [curtains, cushions,etc]

6- Garden..... enjoy the spring..  and enjoy our garden and be thankful , that we have the place and the heath  to have it.

7- Thank God for our health and remember to always pray for the ones in need.

Hope you all have a wonderful  and blessed year.
