Hello my dear blog friends.
I miss you. I miss having tea with you. I miss showing you what I have been doing. I miss talking about things that don't seem very important in the great scheme of things but ARE important in our everyday lives. I miss snapping photos and thinking, "Oh this would be fun to show my blog friends!"
I've had the same quilt on this table in our lving room for a long time.
There is nothing decorating our dining room table.
I did one little project, framing a beautiful yo yo flag that my friend Karen gave me a long time ago.
And I've started making some squares to make into a tablecloth.
Concentrating on work takes all my time and creative energy. I have my first closing on Friday so it has been worth the work but I have to figure out how I can balance work and my blog. I'm out of practice taking photos too! These sure aren't very good!
I haven't forgottten you and will stop by to visit as soon as I can.
Your friend
Rhondi xo
So good to hear from you. Congratulations on your first closing!! I miss you too. In fact the other day I spent some time enjoying your archives. So pretty and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteYour new tablecloth is going to be beautiful. Post when you are able and we will be here to check in on you. Don't worry about visiting right now.
Congratulations on your first closing Rhondi. That's great! Many more will come I'm sure. Wish you could find nice families for the houses across the street from us!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep plugging away! Do what you need to and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh Rhondi, I know just how you feel! School is taking up all my time and I have had such a hard time blogging. No time to do projects, the house is a disaster and life seems pretty much focused on study. I can't give the blogging up though. I just have to do the best I can. We miss you too, but you are on my google reader so any time you drop a line I see it:>) Congratulations on your first closing:>)
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi! I've missed you but are so proud your first closing is happening! I'm sure you're wonderful at this! Just enjoy your life and blog when you can! We'll be here! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Rhondi, congratulations on the closing. I'm happy you checked in today. I miss your posts. They always gave me feeling of serenity. I know your days are full with the new job, so I hope that in time the schedule will allow more leisure time for yourself. Take care and know that you are thought of here at HFTS. ~ Hugs ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteI have missed you indeed! So very glad to see you and find out all you've been up to!
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi...I miss seeing you too on a regular basis but I guess you got to do what you got to do. Sounds like business is getting back to speed and that can only help all of us! Congratulations on your closing!~Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeleteMiss you too, Rhondi!
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi - Congratulations on your first closing - before you know it you'll be on a roll!
ReplyDeleteWe miss you too, but I sure know what it is to balance full time work and all that I want to do in my life. It's a challenge. I tell myself that something always has to give, and then I just do what I can. I think your photos are lovely - that new blue tablecloth will be beautiful!
Stay in touch, dear friend!
Your flag is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI find myself falling behind on blogging quite often during the summer. You are not alone. The flag you framed is awsome. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteGwen:)
Congrats on your closing!! It must be hard to fit blogging in right now. Just pop in when you can and we will be here.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Penny
Congrats on your first closing!!! That is a big milestone! You are right, it is hard to balance work and family and all the other things that go on in life, including blogging. I wish there were more hours in a day. The yo yo flag is really cute! What a nice friend you have! And your blue and white tablecloth is going to be beautiful! I can't wait to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see a post from you Rhondi and so good to hear that you made your first closing!! I think as women we all want to be able to do it all!! I think we just have to settle for doing what we can, when we can. Trust that we, your adoring fans and friends, will be here whenever you do post and will relish every word and picture, no matter what! love and hugs! xxoo
ReplyDeleteI love hearing from you anytime you have time, Rhondi!
ReplyDeleteWhat's important is that you are loving what you're doing!
Yes, you are so not alone in this. Work does take alot out of us. I come home tired, and although things and ideas run through my head, I rarely get to them. I find less time to just be creative.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping this will pass, and I can go back to life like it once was before I had to work.
Praying for you. I bet you are one GREAT realtor!!
Take your time, dearie! We'll still be here. (Pretty tablecloth)
ReplyDeleteRhondi,
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to hear from you. Glad you are doing well in your business. We'll be here when you are.

Rhondi, we all understand! I'm excited you have a closing; good luck with it. That's wonderful. There are indeed seasons to our lives, and if this is your season to find your "sea legs" in your work life, then that's what you must do.
ReplyDeleteI have not blogged in a week -- and no good excuse! Just summer blahs.
And your pictures look fine to me!
All good wishes, Cass
Rhondi, I love quilts and yours are just beautiful! I really love the Flag made out of yo-yos. We miss visiting with you also! Take care and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi! Congratulations on your first closing! You've worked so hard for it. I love the yo-yo flag! I've been in love with yo-yos lately, and I've been making tons of them. I guess it's time to start designing a project for them, huh? I think I have an idea of how you're feeling right now. We've had a difficult month here, and I just got back to my blog this weekend! "I look to the hills, from whence cometh my help..." I know He can help you find your equilibrium. It's been so nice visiting you - and I love the red quilt on the table and your photos! Take care of your soul, and everything else will take care of itself. Hugs, Terri
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi, I miss you too. I'm happy to hear your work is going well. Congratulations on your first closing!
ReplyDeleteCome by whenever you can, we'll be here.
Hugs,
Donna
I do understand how work sucks the life out of you! I decided to start working only part-time, and my husband is happier because now I get to be a better wife instead of a totally exhausted full-time worker!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your new closing.
Congrats on the closing--you are busy and I hope happy!
ReplyDeleteI miss you, too! It's good to 'hear your voice' again. Love that yo-yo flag in the frame. Congratulations on your first closing. Good work!

Rhondi, you are missed! Congratulations on your 1st sale! Great job!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are lovely. They reall add to your home. Yayy for Rhondi.
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteWe miss you, but work comes first. Congrats on your first closing. Love the yo yo flag!
Debbie
Dear Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to hear from you!
Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your closing tomorrow. I don't think it is possible to put 100% into several things at once. It's more like juggling. So soon you'll be blogging in between all of your closings.
Karen
Congrats on your closing! Yay for you! I totally hear you about juggling... I'm in the same boat. I hope you can find a way to do both--we miss you, too!
ReplyDelete~Angela :-)
Take care & hugs, Carolien
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteSurely, you can find time to manage your work and at the same time keeping in pace with your blogging. You do things best and I hope with the comments that were written here, they would be enough to be your driving force or motivational factors. We’ll watch for your return.
May Your Day Be Lovely,
The Muse
Hello Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteAww..I miss your beautiful posts but understand that there is life out there other than blogging. CONGRATULATIONS on your first closing! Good for you. I'll just keep watching for you when you can find the extra time to blog. We'll take what we can get and appreciate your effort. I hope you have a wonderful day...Maura
oooh, love the red and white quilt under the rooster!
ReplyDeleteDi
Congratulations of your first closing. That will certainly make some of this seem worthwhile. We miss seeing you post more often, but I think we all understand that sometimes blogging just has to take the back seat. I do a LOT of entertaining over the summer, many house guests. I've been getting my posts up, but not much time for visiting. But hopefully soon. Congrats again.
