Red things, for lack of a better title.....

My brain isn't at it's best tonight, so please bear with me here...The Echinacea worked as far as the cold, sniffles, sore throat thing, but I came down with the stomach flu...It always gets me in the middle of the night. That is why I usually call it "night of the living dead".....I am better really, just plain wore out.....
As you all know, Owoh came to a close last week and I was shocked and surprised that I won 6 drawings...SIX! Holy cow.....I visited about 300 blogs, I tried to make time for more but doing it while you are on vacation isn't really an option....ocean and sun or OWOH blogs......you decide......I made some new friends too...One of them is Stempelietje from the Netherlands...we chatted on the computer one day for over an hour...Her blog is here http://stempelientje.blogspot.com
She is a single mom raising a daughter and a domestic violence survivor....A great person and mother...and also a new friend...She makes amazing cards and when I got home from Hawaii, this one was in the mailbox for me...

I love red and cherries and told her that so she made me this little beauty....
I also had my first OWOH prize in the mail....It came from Dianne of http://dianas_glob.blogspot.com

A beautiful red pendant and red earrings to match.....I love them both and look forward to wearing them! Thank you Dianne......
One of my Owoh drawing winners won a pincushion scrap bag. I had to make one up and right before I got sick, I finished it...of course, it is in reds......it was much easier to make this time too!

Also, just for fun, my feet in flip flops with red toenails against a red duvet in our hotel room....I love me some flip flops...my favorite footwear of all time!

I have so many projects left to finish this month....where the heck did it go?
A February paper dress
My row for the round robin row quilt
a nature journal front and back page
a pet portrait for my owoh winner
and an ornament and goodies for the Enchantment ornament swap....

Ok flu, go away now before I go into panic mode.....

last of all, a couple of photos of some bags that I saw in Hawaii...I ADORE them...They are small and beautiful and about 200. + dollars a pop.....I want one, but jeesh that is a lot of money..not that they aren't worth it but I just don't have the cash for a bag that I will just admire and ooh and ahhh over...

at first I thought they were handmade, but there is a website at Mary Frances.com and it looks like they are mass made....look at the beads and the color!!!!

The pink and lilac beaded one is one of my favorites......Maybe I could make one? If I could hand sew...and knew how to bead things...mmmmmmmmmm
