Monday, Monday, la la

Well, the weekend is over but my dh had to stay in GA one more day. He'll be home before Tues morning but that's as specific as it got. Miss him. Took an easy day today and hope to get busy tomorrow so I can sew the rest of the week. Researched Etsy some more and will probably do it soon. My angle is to take abandoned UFO's and repurpose to sell. If you would like to donate any abandoned project pieces just email me.

My husband's brother and my sister have both donated funds for use during unemployment and an anonymous donor sent food. Also, some church ladies donated some desserts and snacks. Many people have offered their prayers. We are so honored to receive the love.

Hope all retreaters had a great time. I will be working on the newsletter Wed. Love to all.

Bummer

Well, I don't get to go to the retreat because my dh forgot to tell me about an appointment Fri AM. Stinks out loud.

I'm finally home and wish I could do nothing but housework is constant. Cats are fired up and running the halls. Dog just a pain.

Well, maybe I can sew tomorrow? Wish i had a porch to enjoy the weather. See ya Mon.

What I'm Working On + Buttons

I am working on things in batches and talking about an Etsy Shop. What do you think? Answer the Poll on the side. I want to call it the Dizzy Needle.


These are the buttons and earrings Laura Figiel swapped from www.glueandglitter.com




This is a table runner waiting for the border. Blocks were won at guild meeting.

Another table runner waiting for border. Blocks were preprinted and found in thrift store.

This is a lap quilt I am hand piecing. You can see I ran out of fabric in the next picture so I must shop. (sometime)

This is a pillow front I just finished. The monster is a pattern from www.homeberries.com.

I did it in glow-in-the-dark floss and the ghost flannel is thrift store scrap.

This is four of five blocks rescued from the thrift store and bordered. Ready to quilt this.

And when I get some AAs I will show you a couple more.

Time Flies

When your not having so much fun, also. My dh and I have been job hunting and trying to survive the high prices. I am finally back to some sewing. I finished sewing the pink knit purse and today I think I will sew the linings. I am also sewing some table runners and such to sell. Pix forthcoming.

We have had many blessings this week and are really getting a second chance at new things. I am honored to be on scholarship to the guild retreat at the end of this month. Hoping to put my birthday money to some fun.

If you know me and want to FB with me I'm there. My youngest created a flair that says "Facebook: now with old people". The oldest people I seen have been under sixty. Kids.

Well I feel full of love and happiness today and although I know life is not about feelings I am walking high.
