Busy knitting...

Just created a new header for my blog. Just a little bit of everything I love! Relaxing this morning drinking my coffee, on the computer before I head out to run errands... again!  I plan on finishing my grandson's knitted blanket today so I can get started on a knitted project for my son Steve. Check out my Etsy for handmade items... perfect gifts! Have a wonderful day everyone!

Good Morning Saturday!

The sun is out and I am ready for soccer today! Taking my knitting along with me! I just finished another crochet headband.

*If you would like a copy of the crochet headband above... I will email it to you. Simply, LIKE my new Facebook Page - Busy Family Life (box in left column) and FOLLOW me here on Google Connect. I will then send you a pdf. I will be sending out on Wednesday this coming week.

Since I am putting together a FALL BOUTIQUE in November, I am thinking I could sell some headbands. I have enough yarn so I might as well! If you live in the Fresno/Clovis area, please contact me if you are interested in participating in my FALL BOUTIQUE.

   

I will be taking my knitting in my Thirty-One Square Utility Tote. I love this tote because it stays open, doesn't collapse!

Also taking a Tastefully Simple Taco Cheese Ball for Courtney and her friends to eat between games today. I had a Open House last weekend and the girls loved it! I have to order a few of them because they will be going away with the Summer catalog in 2 weeks. I love it too so I am thinking I am making 2 of them today. Also signing up Caesar with Tastefully Simple... the kit is 50% off right now and his Tastefully Simple Open party credits can go towards the cost! Woo Hoo! Might only cost $39 instead of $189! Looking forward to that!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone...

Saturday... what to do today?

Well, today I need to sort through my Thirty-One bags that I used over the past 9 days going to the World Series in Visalia. I love these bags.... and boy did they keep my snacks, drinks, and accessories organized. I have to admit, I took my knitting thinking I would have time to do a few rows while waiting for games to start but nope. Didn't happen. I was too nervous! My drinks kept cool in my thermal tote, my knitting was safe in my Square Utility Tote along with the candy and granola bars. Carried all of my personal items; wallet, phone, etc. in my Organizing Utility Tote. You can view the Thirty-One  catalog on my website at http://www.mythirtyone.com/cherielovesbags . Contact me if you have any questions. I will help you choose fabrics and personalization thread colors!

Well, I need to organize my coupons in my coupon binder. All week I have been collecting coupons but have put them in a basket to clip and file. Well, today is the day. Need to get it organized for the new ads coming out tomorrow in Sunday's paper! I totally love to coupon. If you think you might want to learn, contact me and I will help you. I have learned a lot of The Krazy Coupon Lady . Everything you need to know about how to coupon is there! That's how I learned. 

It's been a busy 9 days of baseball (Majors 60 Cal Ripken World Series) in Visalia. Ca. Driving back and forth has run me down! Now today is a day of resting, and cleaning my house! Our kitchen table has been used for all of our Thirty-One bags with our game goodies!

Well, have a great day everyone!!!

I love COUPONING!

Wow... my  next best hobby is COUPONING! I love it! It's a rush when I find coupons... clip them... then file them in my binder. I think I love this more than knitting! Haha! Really, I totally enjoy saving money. It's like a game. How much can I save today? What? There is a store coupon and I have a manufacture coupon too! Yay! Yes, I am addicted! I will post deals that I come across here daily so you can enjoy them too! I have some blog icons to the right... click on them and get started today!

I need to step back for a moment today, take a sip of coffee, then book some Vault Denim and Thirty-One parties! Yes, I love jeans and I love my Thirty-One bags! The latest jeans I love are Project Denim by Vault Denim. The fit is awesome!
