I just dug it out and need to clean it up and put lights on it and all the other decorations this is just to hang for the picture. sorry for the messiness.




dust is clearing today




another one bites the dust.
Well have been working on this tote for a couple days. I really feel like I should have 3 of these dones, sewn it together a few times.I like the final outcome and hope the person who receives it will like it as well. I will find out next Monday if she or he does. It is one from Fons and Porter magazine Easy Quilts Summer 2008 . I may be back later on if I should get anymore sewing done today.

Talk about stuffed?

Well, long time no post, sorry about that. had a lot going on lately. Had to do some sewing and prepare for the Thanksgiving family gathering. we had changed propane gas company, and our kitchen range had a leak in it somewhere. Soooo we went out and bought us another stove. We had had propane cooking and then the new one is electric . Now I am not cooking with gas!!! hehe
We did the shopping for it on Tuesday then I got he house cleaned and prepared thew pies and etc. I think the turkey was very good and so did the family. They all said it was one of the best they have eaten. So heehaw for me and the cooking!
I think I went to bed on Wednesday night or early Thursday morning about 2:30 Am
I awoke about 8 AM and remained awake until after midnight!! I was wore out and sleep very well.
I will post a couple pictures of the sewing I have completed. One is of the Christmas block swap I was in on a yahoo group I belong to . Well I have to find the photo on the computer then I will post it. I moved some things on here and now will have to locate the photos. I have been in a duh stage today . See you all later on today
