You can get a sneak view when you follow me on facebook!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Christmas items are down and the emphasis is on home decor plus more scarves, brooches, rings, etc. and of course I have thrown in some Valentines to brighten these winter months. Remember I'm not just a quilt shop...oh no! I have plenty of items for those who like hand sewing, need jewelry, new accessories for your home, trims & embellishments for scrapbookers, yummy candles, etc! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A specialty coffee machine was added last week too!!!

It has been almost 2 years of a lot of hard work! We still have lots of little details to get done but I am certain that door will open on November 19th! I hope you can join me from 8-2:00 that day. If that day doesn't work for you...come visit on Thur(8-8:00), Fri(8-5:00) and Sat(8-12:00)! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> As many of you know I am a mother first and the business part of my life comes second. With 4 children(Abbey 15, Luke 13, Maria 9 & Gabe 7)...you know just how busy I am! I want to "Try" and balance my work with the rest of my life. This is the main reason why I am only open 3 days a week. Of course, as my time opens, I will gladly add days on. I so appreciate all of you that understand this. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So as the countdown continues so does my "To~Do" list...wish me luck on finishing it!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> As always, God's Blessings, Rhonda</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2108612448365138347-4518816620532441602?l=ragspun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Enjoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12952512780856218813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108612448365138347.post-33632007204971352322011-07-16T05:33:00.000-07:002011-07-16T05:37:51.820-07:00Summer Time... Yes, I am not the best on blogging too often...cause I am tooooo busy these days or just too lazy somedays! With keeping the business going, remodeling the new studio and raising 4 young children, my life is very full but I am very happy with it all!<br /><br /> The Studio is coming along and we plan to open November 19th so keep that date open!!! We have done more remodeling that we originially planned which I know is worth it. The ceiling was totally removed but not the wonderful beams. We have now gutted out the basement and taken out the old dirt flooring which was an experience...that's how we spent our 4th of July weekend. <br /><br /> My Studio won't be like your normal quilt shop...it will be an experience! Items I have on order, you won't see many places which will make it worth the trip to little Brandon! It is a wonderful cozy welcoming town with a so yummy cafe, large Award-Winning Meat Market, the most adorable floral/gift shop(Garden Scents) and just an atomsphere you can't pay for. <br /> So I will keep you thinking of that as I say "Good Bye"...as always, Blessings to you Rhonda<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2108612448365138347-3363200720497135232?l=ragspun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Enjoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12952512780856218813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108612448365138347.post-62469570090111991972011-05-21T09:16:00.000-07:002011-05-21T09:18:39.611-07:00Talents...<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know many of you have heard me say that we are each blessed with something special.

They were anxious to find new items for their customers. It was just wonderful to feel that excitement with them. <br />So I hope this blog finds you full of excitement in your life whether it is quilting, reading, drawing, cooking, etc. We are so blessed....Blessings, Rhonda<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2108612448365138347-4405053127610711064?l=ragspun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Enjoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12952512780856218813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108612448365138347.post-10802880547733358852010-05-16T15:27:00.000-07:002010-05-16T15:30:34.353-07:00I am so EXCITED...<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I am sooo excited.....</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">because I am ready to share with you my new collection for 2010.

We awoke this morning to about 3-4 inches of snow. And honestly, it was kind of beautiful. It had clung to every tree and branch. Maybe it is beautiful because I know it is going to be gone in a few hours! </div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">I think sometimes God knows we need a cleaning so we can start fresh.

Why do I feel I can eat all the black Jelly Beans I want on Easter? I always pay the next day. Since I was a little girl, black Jelly Beans were my main mission for finding my basket. So as I sit back today and try to work, I stare at the left over beans that I did not find yesterday...they are calling me. Someone ... plug my ears!!!

Yes, it was my turn for surgery last Thursday, March 18th. I had a hysterectomy. It was one of those things that needed to be done and I am glad it is done. However...I never thought I would be in this much pain and so unable to do many things! I have new BIG respect for any woman who has had a C-section...how are you able to take care of a baby after it? You woman are amazing!!! I could sit here and complain all day but I won't because there is still hand-stitching I can do! To all woman who have had this surgery or a C-section...you should be honored!!!

Finally they are eating which has made me very happy. Any advice would be appreciated!!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t4gIU-pfMkM/S4wv9wtEs7I/AAAAAAAAAGA/acHSAz5OC-E/s1600-h/MariaGabe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t4gIU-pfMkM/S4wv9wtEs7I/AAAAAAAAAGA/acHSAz5OC-E/s320/MariaGabe.jpg" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This was the presurgery pic taken at 6:30 am.

Julie's Sewing Center here in Wisconsin occasionally does a segment on a really neat morning show. Julie showed how easy it is to make gift bags for Valentines Day. She used my RagSpuns to accent the bags. Julie is a very good instructor and makes everything look so easy! Her 2 stores are wonderful to shop at too. Here is her website.... <a href="http://www.juliessewingcenter.com/">www.juliessewingcenter.com</a> I "Thank" her for choosing my RagSpuns for the accent pieces. It made my Valentines Day extra "SWEET"! </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">Sweet Blessings...Rhonda</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2108612448365138347-8188399298659678626?l=ragspun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Enjoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12952512780856218813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108612448365138347.post-40750342633020327032010-02-09T04:19:00.000-08:002010-02-09T04:20:29.139-08:00My favorite...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t4gIU-pfMkM/S3FMvX3XFVI/AAAAAAAAAF4/OkqwwXxtORc/s1600-h/soda+127.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t4gIU-pfMkM/S3FMvX3XFVI/AAAAAAAAAF4/OkqwwXxtORc/s320/soda+127.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Do you have a pic that you just love? Well, I have always loved this one..not sure why! I remember it was a crazy day with the kids. My good friends, Jay & Janeal Fullmer came over to take the first pics of my RagSpuns. After the shots were done, Jay suggested I sit down and get a quick family pic. I felt so relaxed by this time! If you ever need a pic taken that is unique, special and different from an ordinary pic, check out Fullmer Studio </span><a href="http://www.jamesfullmer.com/" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">www.jamesfullmer.com</a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">, you will be so satisfied!

Isn't he just the cutest? I took several other pics too. Lately you will find me going everywhere with my camera. It is that time of year when I am looking for inspiration for some new patterns. Last weekend, my oldest daughter Abbey and I hit Pier One and took lots of pics. Next weekend we are heading out again...can't wait to see what we find hanging around! I know we will find the local Chinese place too.</span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2108612448365138347-4109858222909631254?l=ragspun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Enjoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12952512780856218813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108612448365138347.post-83385443850685283892010-01-22T06:22:00.000-08:002010-01-22T06:22:23.490-08:00"Thee 2009 Holiday Memories"----I'll never forget the laughs...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t4gIU-pfMkM/S1mwxldewkI/AAAAAAAAAFo/dGuBHHwLzMA/s1600-h/Jan22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t4gIU-pfMkM/S1mwxldewkI/AAAAAAAAAFo/dGuBHHwLzMA/s320/Jan22.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /></div><ol style="text-align: center;"><li style="font-family: inherit;">Abbey & Gabe have a "Darling" Relationship...</li><li style="font-family: inherit;">Luke & Gabe Love The Chicago Cubs & Farmall Tractors... </li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Groovy Pants are always a hit with Maria...</span></li><li>Baby Alive was number one her Christmas List...</li><li>All four were sick of mom trying to get the perfect pic for the annual Christmas Card...</li><li>Santa I really want...</li><li>Okay, I surrender and I will bring you that gun...</li><li>Mom, I love rocking Maria's new baby...why are you taking my pic...</li><li>Even Boomer gets a present...a big bone from the local meat market...</li><li>Boy am I going to destroy our house with this gun...thanks Aunt Natalie!!!</li></ol><br />Can't wait for next year and more memories!
