Just browsing around the internet today, I stumbled onto some lovely purse designs by Amy Butler.. here are two of my favorite picks: (click on the picture for the pattern and instructions!)

STASH & DASH BAGS
Dainty and practical. Pack lightly with this trio of compact bags and you’re ready to go!

KIMBERLY BAG
A classic, graceful shape sized to make this bag suitable for every event. A girls night out or an evening social! Simple lines and pleats allow for a long zipper, making this bag easy access!

As I sit here…indoors… in my sweats on a Sunday afternoon.. on my 2nd pot of lovely coffee, I can see its a beautiful, sunny day outside.

Open the windows, let some fresh air in- and what do I see? My Crocus is a bloomin’! My Thyme has new leaves. I also spied other bulbs popping up (those will be a surprise, as I cannot remember what I planted there…)

So I had to run out in my PJ’s and snag a few pictures for you!

What does the work-at-home mother of three, owner of The Mystic Kitchen do?
well, currently everything… (feels like anyway)

But actually I am in the process of redesigning my husband’s website- it has been on the back burner for a long time. So, watch for the link soon.. I am going to take over his site, and be like a “Ghost Writer” is for books~

What is the site? Although I am not ready to release the name yet, I will tell you that we will be designing websites, building blogs and offering hosting..  cheap!

So watch for it soon!

Funny,  I am normally full of things to talk about.. and yet when faced with the challenge of adding daily posts to my new blog, I find myself with nothing to say…

Anxiety? hmmmm… maybe it is the thought of being up close and personal, or the “live performance” jitters- I really can’t say~

So I will just jump in with both feet and talk about Facebook.. lol (I had to think of something)

I am quite addicted to facebook.. just give me my mini laptop, a cup o’ joe, and I can sit here for hours! I love social networking and being able to stay in touch with my friends and family (I am literally NOT a talk-on-the-phone type of person)
Nope, in this day and age, it is all digital.  I send e-mails for invitations to birthday parties, spout off important news- you name it! At first my parents and other members of the family balked at the idea.. but they have become accepting of learning certain things “over the internet rather than in person”  (ssshh! I believe they are now addicted too!)

It is very catching.. now if I could just see my doctor, do my grocery shopping and walk my dog through Facebook…sigh…

I am branching off from my website, with an all new blog, called “Nette’s Notes”

It will be anything from personal opinions and  ”mad rants”  to topics from The Mystic Kitchen..

enjoy!
