Hi there. I sure do time my vacations well. You wouldn't believe the hoops I had to jump through to get four days off work so I could stay home and sew. Didn't happen. The sewing that is. Oh, I stayed home all right. In my bed! This was the cold virus of all cold […]
Tap, tap, tap….Is this thing on? Ahem! "I feel sniffy, oh so sniffy I feel sniffy and stuffy and tight And I pity the girl who feels like me tonight" (Think Natalie Wood in West Side Story, only older, fatter and sicker, with tissues stuffed up her sleeves). Since I have been staying home […]
All I want to do is sew. I had an entire day all to myself yesterday, and what do you think happened? Yup, I woke up with a raging sore throat and a vicious cold. I spent almost the whole day in my bed. Sophie didn't get all her required exercise and attention and this […]
We had quite enough drama for our Christmas, thank you very much. On Christmas Eve, our personal Santa (my DH) fell down and hit his head on a table and had to go to the hospital for stitches. He is OK now, but it was very chaotic for awhile there. You see, my daughter and […]
Best wishes to all of my blogging friends for the happiest holidays ever! I hope the New Year will bring you good health, prosperity, and many wonderful hours of sewing. Thank you all for giving me so much support, encouragement, and friendship in 2009. Just think what we can accomplish together in 2010!
It is all done except for a bit of wrapping and a lot of cooking. I love it when I can just sit back and enjoy my tree, listen to schmaltzy Christmas music and peruse my cookbooks for new holiday recipes. It has been pretty quiet this week in Blogland; you all must be as […]
In the name of all of us who left things until the last minute, I would like to say "Thank God for Amazon.com". Don't know exactly how it happened, but Christmas kind of snuck up on me this year. The shopping part anyway. I am happy to say however, that the shopping got done in […]
I forgot to show you a picture of The Bowl. I stopped at Pottery Barn on the way home from work yesterday and picked up some do dads to put in it. I love the simplicity and shape of this bowl so much. Seriously, this bowl must weigh over five pounds! And Mary Ann carried […]
This quilt was so much fun to make. Bev Stookey, who I mentioned in a previous post, used to teach this class at Eddie's Quilting Bee. I am guessing that I put the top together about 12-15 years ago! And, nope, it isn't finished! You see, I decided to hand quilt it myself. Mista–a–a–a–ke. For […]
My next (and probably last) UFO giveaway is pictured above. This fabric collection is called Yuletide Blessings. The only Christmassy collection Fig Tree has done for Moda. I made 68 blocks for a quilt called Fall Frolic in the Evelyn Sloppy book 40 Fabulous Quick Cut Quilts. It is one of those patterns that call […]
