How would you use this?

So this is my NEW bin from Thirty-One! It's a new item in our Spring catalog. We received this FREE last week for attending Thirty-One's Spring Product Premiere! I love getting free STUFF...what an awesome company. I have been thinking of ways to use this item. Right now it sits in my family room with my iPad, my Erincondren planner, and my current project I am designing for my Etsy Shop.

It stands up, doesn't slouch over, nice fabrics to choose from, easy to tote from room to room, and folds flat when not in use. But I have to say, it's been in use since last Saturday night! This is an awesome business for women... check out my website and click the JOIN MY TEAM link to join me! I would love to have you on my team!

So I would love to know how you would use this bag?

Happy Friday the 13th!

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!

Tuesday...

 

For some reason, the cooler weather and the nights getting shorter makes me want to knit! That's a good thing since my yarn has been crying for me! I plan on using up my yarn, making some knitted slouch caps to sell at my Fall Boutique in November. The yarn is in 2 bins in the corner of my room... and needs to be gone! So, I have been looking for something to carry my smaller knitting project in.

I attended our Thirty-One meeting last night and received a Thirty-One Carry-All FREE! Yes I said FREE! That is one really cool feature of being a part of Thirty-One. You get something FREE every month when you attend. Love it! Just sayin. What other companies give you something FREE every month. I don't know of any. Just sayin. Anyways, last night I came home thinking how I will use the new item in my display. As you can see... I have found a home for my Carry-All Caddy. I will take it with me everywhere! You never know when you can get a few rows in while waiting somewhere!

Oh and today, I got up and make breakfast burrito's for the kids. And, Dom... left right before they were ready. Bummer for her!

Wondering what you are working on... knitting, crochet, quilting, etc. Please make a post to share.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone :)

Sweet Saturday...

It's been awhile - how are you knitting needles? Haha! I made this knitted slouch cap last night. I am thinking to sell some of these at my Fall Boutique in November. Why not! I have enough yarn at home to make at least 15 of them! So, knit on! Next up...charcoal color. Knitting relaxes me. I've been on the go at two events this past week and now the third event today! I am totally tired! I will knit while I am there, well, if no one is at my booth! Today I will be showcasing Tastefully Simple and Thirty-One. I plan on closing out parties on Sunday night so if you need anything... order up here:

Today is Clovis Fest... so many hot air balloons. I am taking the kids downtown to get a cinnamon roll... yummy! It's a yearly thing! The balloons take off around 6:30am then shopping at the street faire downtown. I want to go check out the crafts! Got to go... kids want cinnamon rolls!

Have a great day everyone... what are you doing today?

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!

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!!!
