I have some photos for you today :-) I brought in my daughter's hibiscus (a gift last year from her boyfriend) because we had frost last week. Here is a picture of one of it's last blooms. It is sooo pretty!
Love these colors!
Love these colors too!Like I said, I have been making lots of yo-yo's! These are some bags I've been working on. They still need to be ironed but I really wanted to post them. The pink bag is for a baby shower, my daughter's friend and her hubby are having a baby girl! I thought this would make a cute library bag for when baby is older. The purple bag is a birthday gift and the ivory one is a Christmas gift. They are for friends who live in a small village. They walk to the post office for their mail...so I thought these would be cute mail bags.
This isn't a great picture but it was really hard to get a good shot of them.
A closer view.
Another close-up.
I have a few more bags in the works, still working on the black one that I gave you a sneak peek of before. That one is tough to get the needle through...ouchy fingers!
Hope you are all enjoying your day! Chat with you soon...hugs! Oh I almost forgot...our friends are still employed...one of them is safe for at least 3 more months his company says and then there will be more cuts. Thanks for all your prayers for them and us!

Cute bags! And I love your monogram letter/frame project! :) ~Rhonda
I love the picture. It turned out really cute. I'm glad your friends are still employed. They still can't relax though...3 months how nervewracking.
Hi Kim :)
I also love the monogram letter and maybe I should make some for the craft show...
LOVE the yo-yo bags...you could sell them:) and, like you said make Great gifts. I kinda have a "bag" thing..among other "things"
:) :)
Have a great weekend...I'll be making cards...do you want to help? :)
Warmly,

Loving the framed saying you sent:) See it all the time in the bathroom and think of you :)
Everything is so pretty, love that "k" so cute!

I am glad to hear about your friends. These are such tough times. The monogram is great and of course I like the letter! :) Beautiful bags, you've been up to some good stuff! In case I don't get a chance to post again- I'll be gone from Saturday until Wednesday- have a great weekend and enjoy time with hubby.
Love,
Kim
Those bags are really cute, and the K looksk great!
Thanks for commenting on my blog. I'm enjoying taking a look around yours.
Your bags are darling and I love the "k".
My it sure looks like you have been busy. Love the bags they are so pretty and colorful. And what a great gift and idea to carry the mail in. Happy to hear about your friends job, will keep praying for all.

Thank you very much for sharing.
Through your blog, a lot of people including me of course have a chance to read and learn from.
I have read some of your post and I really enjoyed reading it.
Thanks again and looking forward for more of your posting soon!
Kim, your yoyos and bags are charming. I think the photos were just fine. And that hibiscus - wow. The orange blending into pink reminds me of a smoothie...or a tequila sunrise. ;o)
wow, you've been really busy! I love your monogrammed picture frame. May I please steal that idea? I'd love to put something like that, in a big frame, bigger letter in my dining area :0).
Come see what I did. It's my first attempt at "letters", but I think I did pretty okay :0).
Hugs and enjoy your day!
Those bags are adorable!! I love them!
The hibiscus is beautiful!! I love the huge flowers that bloom.
Your framed K looks great. :) I really need to try that some day.
I also like your bags. They are very pretty and especially thoughtful! What a good friend you are.
take care,
Dawn
Thanks for visiting my blog. I love your yo yo bags and the monogram frame. I enjoyed reading your blog.
Cute bags Kim! And I really like your little monogram frame!
I love the K. I think one would look great in my daughter's room. I hope you don't mind...I may use the idea. I have not made any yo- yos lately. In the winter while I watch tv is when I usually make mine. It is getting close!

I'm still making my yo yo's. Don't know what I will make out of them yet.Sigh.
