Windy and Warm/Monday Music Moves Me

Well here we are looking on another Monday.

You know what that means..It's Monday Music Moves Me....

Today is a freebie! 

Play what you will and what you want.

I'm going to start my little list with a song written by John D. Loudermilk, Windy and Warm.

This version by Doc Watson. 

Well we surely have the wind today but not to much on the warm, unless you're standing in the sun. If so well it's still quite cool. Last nights temperatures  dipped on down in the 30's. Nights like that'll make you pull that quilt on up to your nose.

For my next song I had to pick something to warm things up a little. I've become a listener to 

Live at Daryl's House.  I really love the way Daryl Hall is bringing all these artist together. 

So here we go with Joe Walsh and Daryl Hall, Rocky Mountain Way.

Kiss on My List, by Daryl Hall and Rob Thomas is next on my list.

And one more from Daryl's House. 

Yeah, I'm loving some Daryl Hall and  I hope you have too.

Be Blessed!

One More Rainy Day Raggedy Bag

Wow!

I hope I have soothed this obsession for at least a day or too.

My mind has thought of so many other possibilities.

Sewing projects made from old fabric is such a simple way to restore memories.

When making my first of these raggedy bags I compared it to making 

a quilt-in-a-day and I think that's what I'm loving about this project.

It is also so simple...

I scaled the size down and it made for a much quicker endeavor.

A couple of hours and I was done; from the picking  out of my fabric to the cutting and sewing.

Be blessed today..

and 

get crafty!

Raggedy Bag/Rainy Day Project

Not to come across as a complainer but after three or four days of serious rain I start to get crazy. 

I also must find something to do with all the pinned up nervous energy that's been building up.

This has finally led me to get out of my craft blahs and do something.

After spending too much time on Pinterest 

 the Rag Bag Tutorial from My Desert Cottage

http://www.mydesertcottage.com/2011/04/rag-bag-tutorial.html

has been pinned to my brain. 

So here goes..here's my version of her wonderful bag.

This will not be a tutorial. I commend the organized folks that are able to preform crafts and recipes 

in such orderly fashion but that's not me. 

The night before I was overwhelmed to pull out that big bag of scrap material and start digging.

When I had found material that suited me,

I referred back to My Desert Cottage and started taking a few notes for myself.

I could not have been more pleased than everyone to get to work and school so I could get started.

I was just about to get this project started. 

Everyone must get cleared out since my work area is the kitchen table.

I cut my pieces and laid it all out just as in the tutorial.

This project had the feel of a quilt-in-a-day.

And 

Yes, those are my pockets from an old pair of pants. 

I'm a keeper . I can not just through away, so this is truly raggedy and up cycled bag.

I thought I would have this whipped right out by lunch.

 With a couple of phone calls, a few loads of laundry, the morning pot of coffee all behind me 

I was finished by the time the bus ran.

yeah...

I did celebrate by cleaning out that smidge of wine hiding in the back of the fridge.

This bag is going to be great the longer it ages and frays. 

I'm so glad you stopped for a visit.

I'm looking out the window at another rainy day.

Thank the Lord in the sun and the rain.

It's Raining, It's Pouring....

Da' old lady should be snoring...

Here I am just off work and the kids at school, 

I'm thinking of sleep.

but 

that's not what I'm doing I'm tuning in for the 

Monday Music Moves Me. 

Today's theme is songs with a name in the title or lyrics.

So let's get this party started with a good ole gurl I can't get enough of lately, Miranda Lambert.

Song Number 2 is from the Zac Brown Band. The title is Jolene. It's nothing like Dolly's song. 

And how 'bout one for all the "good Joe's"

Well that's all I got. 

Thanks for the Visit. 

Keep Hoppin'

Stuart Elementary 5K Run/ Walk

Stuart Elementary held their first 5K Run/Walk Charity event. 

We did this run last Saturday and it was so much fun.

My son and I did the event together. 

We also participated in the 8 week training with about 40 other SES student.

There is nothing that will get your adrenaline going like running through the street of town 

with a whole mess of young 'ens.

That's my boy!

This event along with the candy fundraiser allowed the school to come up with 

half the money needed to cover the cost of the new security system.

I think that's great!
