Getting some wonderful items together for a March giveaway.  Just a little tease.  On Monday I will post what the giveaway will be and how long. As far as today it is cold out doors and I will be staying in.  Hopefully in the sewing room.   I have my fabric picked out and patternContinue reading “What time is it? Time for a give away.”

I made a flat iron carrier today.  It is made with Insulbright so it will not burn if it is hot.  It was fun and I plan on making more for the craft fairs.  It will also make some great Christmas gifts for the Granddaughters. 2 of them travel racing BMX bikes and as youContinue reading “Flat Iron Carrier”

While on vacation we went to several (LOTS really) National Parks.  Little did I know they sold these nice printed fabric pictures for quilts.  I laid them on on my design wall trying to decide on a quilt. On my next vacation I will save about $150.00 and print off some of my pictures.  IContinue reading “What to do with these?”

Such a wonderful day yesterday.  I spent the day outside and it was great.  Grass is turning green . I can’t wait for spring to finally show up.  I keep telling myself this is still February.  When not outside I finished up some microwave cozies and tortilla warmers.  Now we have these things finished upContinue reading “Good Morning”

My Hubby surprised me with a trip to Missouri Star Quilts in Hamilton, Missouri.  I am sure you have seen Jenny Doan’s Youtube videos.  This is where her stores are and where she shoots her videos.  Check out her page and join the Forum.  Also  Rob Appell of Man Sew videos there also.  I foundContinue reading “Super Saturday”

Spent the morning at the Court House waiting to see if I had to serve on a jury.  Was told to come back on the 27th and the lawyers will pick  15 people out of 200 of us.  If I am chosen it will be a murder trial lasting about a week.  On the wayContinue reading “Wednesday Wonders”

Got 3 portfolio bags made and only 9 more to go.  These are for some local artists to carry their canvases in.  Turned out pretty good.  I will post some pictures tomorrow as it is a little dark outside right now. We are enjoying the unusually warm weather for February and spending time outdoors andContinue reading “Bright Tuesday”

Woke up this morning to a beautiful day.  Sun shinning, squirrels playing chase around the large oak outside my sewing room window.  What can make a day much better. Yesterday we went to a quilt show in here in town.  The quilts were pretty; although there were only a few that caught my eye.  IContinue reading “Sunny Sunday”

Today brought a beautiful 64 degrees and tomorrow promises to be even better.  I can’t believe it is the middle of February.  I can’t wait for spring and weather like this makes me want to start looking at flowers to plant.  But I have to wait a little longer.  We have started planning our nextContinue reading “Fresh Friday”
