Goals On Hold~

:-)  I was busily working away on my Le Petite project for this month~ Mon Ami,

when I saw this~

which led me to following along on the blog tour and the cute table runner on Sherri's blog~ A Quilting Life.

Which led me to search for some Valentine fabrics. I discovered my stash is woefully lacking. :-/  But I pulled a few FQ's;  A little cutting, a little stitching and I'm almost there!  Now I can't decide if I should use the rest of my meager stash for Miss Punkie Pie's cute hearts~ or wait and see what else the tour brings! LOL Such a dilemma! :-))

What are you working on?
I think tomorrow I will be quilting! :-))
Until next time~


Happy Stitchin'!

MUF's and Other Fun Stuff~

I've joined Kelly's MUFee's at Charming Girls Club. :-) MUF stands for 'Masterpieces Under Fermentation'. In other words, I'm going to savor my UFO's and quilt projects and finish them when it feels right instead of hurrying through them just to get them done. :-) Already I feel more relaxed and guilt-free! :-)

Kelly has also challenged us to come up with a word to reflect on through the year~ a goal, an accomplishment, something you want to see reflected in your life in the coming year.  It came to me as I was reading Kelly's post. FUN! I am going to concentrate on it. I'm going to look on the bright side of situations and see if I can't inject a little fun into even the most un-fun situations. :-) 

And finally my Charming Goals for January and February~

1. Enjoy every day! Add a little FUN to each one.
2. Finish my Le Petite projects~ I really enjoy doing these small projects!
3. Work on a MUF. ;-)

Until next time~
Have a happy day!!

Sew Day~ part 2

You know the saying 'even the best laid plans..'?  Well that was my day! ;-)  I did get a few stitches sewn on the vines in this topper.   But the majority of today was spent...

cookie making! DS aka my cookie monster wanted to make some cookies and so we teamed up and made 14 dozen! Hopefully there will be some left for him to take back to school. lol

Thanks Terry,  Lindsay,  Sharon,  and Linda for sewing with me today! :-) I am headed to my chair to work on the vines some more. :-)

Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!!

Its Thimbleberries Sew Day!

Is anyone sewing today?  It's a free-sew day, so whatever you are working on; Thimbleberries or not~ let me know so we can visit! :-)

Happy last Wednesday of 2010!!

I'll be back~~ ;-)

December Le Petite~

I wasn't sure I'd get it together~ but I sewed today!! :-) This Prairie Point Tree was designed by Cara and was a project at the Moda Bake Shop. Sinta and Sherri picked it as our December Le Petite project.

I made mine small. And purposely didn't use any holiday fabric so I could keep it up through the winter. Hopefully I will get it quilted this week yet, but just in case~ my top is done! :-) I had a couple cardinal buttons that I'll add when its quilted.

Thanks for stopping by~
Hope you have a wonderful New Year!

Next Thimbleberries Sew Day~

~is this Wednesday!  Do you have something to work on? It can be a pattern using Thimbleberries fabrics, or a Thimbleberries pattern using fabrics of your choice. Please let me know if you will be sewing so I can come and visit! :-)

I will be working on this darling wall hanging~

Patty @ momloves2quilt had a giveaway a while back and when I saw these Thimbleberries goodies I got my name in her hat! And I won! :-) Thank you so much Patty! I think it was destiny that these came to play with me as I have the book the wall hanging came from~ and I even had a marker in the spot! It was on my to-do list. :-) You've gotten me over halfway there!

I hope you all had a joyous Christmas! We sure did! Thanks for all your comments on my new 'baby'~ I haven't figured out a name yet, but I'm sure I will. ;-)

Hope I see you Wednesday!
Have a happy week!

Merry Christmas!

Thank you to all my wonderful followers and friends for a year of fun! I appreciate your visits and comments more than you could ever imagine!  My wish for each of you is happiness, health and many blessings. Merry Christmas!

Santa knew he would be really busy tonight, so he stopped by a little early to my cottage. :-)  And this is what he left!!~~

WOW! I must've been better than I thought I was! LOL  :-))

Actually, I had been dreaming of my own longarm for years, and DH was planning to surprise me~ but I didn't think it would happen until maybe next year. Yup, 30 years and he can still surprise me! :-))  I've already done a little test run on a table runner and I love it! It is going to be so wonderful to be able to quilt at home and not have to plan time to rent at the LQS. :-) I'm on cloud 9!

Until next time~
Merry Christmas!!
