Catch all day

This post is a bit more personal post. If you don't feel like reading it I understand.

It's more for my extended family. 

 Here goes:

To my brother HaPpY BiRthdAY!! Uncle Buck....

Happy belated Birthday to my sister....and WHY the H**L wasn't I invited to Pizza Ranch? (inside joke)

Congrats to my sister she's now 14 weeks pregnant with her first baby....which means I am compiling a list of a million quilty baby things to make her...

 like a

binky holder

quilt(s) (doh! like 4!)

onsies personalized...literally 20 ways LOL

bibs

diaper bag

burp clothes

and on and on.

I want to make them ALL pink...and chances are she'll have boy which I know nothing about...

guess I better stick to yellow and green!

Do any of my readers have tutorials for baby items that you found particularly useful?

please pass me the link! thanks :)

Halloween Ornies

New fallish wool felt...

+ a super cute pattern....

= me getting side tracked and making these.

Halloween Ornies

Takes a serious chunk out of my quilting time..but they are sooo cute and easy.

I have been neglecting my blog. The Florida trip whipped me. Lets not forget working 11 hour days after coming back. I'm whipped.

Today I am sorry to say will not be a sewing day that I know of.

 I 'get' to renew my drivers license which is oh so joyous. I mean how many of you actually LIKE getting the pic on the drivers license? none of us do.

On top of that I have to stop at the post office, carpet company, Sherwin Williams, Home Depot, Walmart ( all for my office), catch up on emails, my 9 year has the day off school and I am exhausted thinking about all the running around. Come to think of it, today NEEDS to be a sewing day...even if it's only for 10-15 minutes.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

That's right, last Thursday while on our way to Florida, we traveled on a plane, train and automobile...AND a boat!

It was Elly's first time on a plane, train or a boat! When the plane took off, she said "this is awesome". 

Boy was I relieved.

It could have gotten ugly. You just never know how kids will react.

Anyhow, she was such a good girl that I even had a chance to stitch while we flew.

This is another Buttermilk Basin stitchery.

I know it's not January...

however, in my defense...

I didn't have the October stitchery pattern.

 I really wanted to stitch one of these up during my trip so I was pleased that I finished it.

Now should I frame it? or make a pillow?

There is a stitchery for each month...so a frame might be best.

I haven't decided yet, but in the mean time I traced February and March!

I see another road trip in my future so going to be prepared.

And I did stitch on my Simple Pleasures as well...so much detail that I still haven't finished another one.

Maybe tonight during Dancing with the Stars??? I'm hoping.

Saturday?

It's Saturday already? How can that be? gosh time flies. Anyhow, I was searching for pictures..something to 'show' you. I have nothing. I have been stitching more Simple Pleasures and yet I don't have a finished square. These last few are more detailed and seem to be taking longer.

 

So I found some pictures of my daughters Benaroos' creations.

She's quite an artist.

I love how she put the sunflower in with our fake IKEA flowers. She's fun like that.

 

Unfortunately, she usually doesn't have much interest in fabric.

GASP!

It's true.

My 3 year old does love "favric" and picks out a fat quarter everytime we go to a quilt shop together.

I figure she'll have a good 'stash' of "favric" (her version of fabric) to make a quilt in a couple of years...

No, I don't have pictures, yet.

I plan on taking some soon, like next weekend.

This weekend I am getting 'learned' for my day job. It's really very important. 

 So you might not 'hear' from me for a few days. We'll see.

 If I can get my hands on a camera I will be sure to blog!
