Happy Tuesday!

Tomorrow is February 1st already!  Are you ready?
It will also be the day for the 'Another Year of Schnibbles' parade! I love a parade!  :-)
The pattern for January was 'Full House 'by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.

I made a 'Full House' pillow~

I need to get a bigger form, or make one for it. ;-)

To see the parade go to Sinta's or Sherri's blogs tomorrow~
Enjoy!!

Christmas Through the Year~~

I joined Darlene and Cheryl (see sidebar) to keep myself motivated to make a few gifts through the year so I wouldn't be so overwhelmed in December.  It's a great concept, isn't it? :-)

The hard part is the follow through! But I am determined. ;-)

January's projects are a few pillowcases~

And I made two if these little quilts~ one for me and one to give. This is a Sherri Falls pattern, and was really fun to stitch. And I used my Thimbleberries fabrics to border them for Thimbleberries Sew Days last week. ;-) I love two-fers! LOL They are not wonky!~ :-o I think the floor boards give that illusion. ;-)

I hope you are finding time to stitch/sew a few little gifts too!
Until next time~
Have a happy! :-)

Today Is The Day~

Thimbleberries Sew Day! :-)

I don't have my design wall cleaned off enough to lay out the Log Cabin quilt I had been making blocks for, so I am going to do a couple fast and fun projects today.  :-)

I embroidered these two snowmen (Sherri Falls- This and That pattern) a while back and plan to make little borders for them today with the Thimbleberries stash and finish them up. :)

What are you working on?

I'll be back with an up date later today~  :-)

Tomorrow ♪♪♫♫♪ Tomorrow

♪♪♫♫♪♪♪♫♫♪... is only a day away!!!

And it is Thimbleberries Sew Day!!

Hope to see you in the AM! :-)

A Snow Imposed Break

We had snow! Sleet! Rain! Power outages, and cable/internet outages last week.  Yuck!  Luckily the power only was out for short, sporadic times. But the cable was out from Thursday until Saturday night.  I snapped this Photo on Thursday eve right before everything went out.

It had just started to rain.  If you can see the big fir branches covered in snow back there~? They are no longer there, the heavy ice broke them off. :-(   The tree is still there, but she is missing a lot of 'arms'.  We had a lot of tree damage.  :-(  But along with everyone in our neighborhood, the tree damage did not harm any buildings. :-)

You are probably thinking I sewed like 'crazy' while I was stuck in~ you would be wrong! With the power blinking in and out, I didn't want to take any chance of harming my sewing machine. I did stitch a bit~

I finished this cute pillow. I love it! :-)  I won the pattern and wool from a giveaway Anna at the Woolie Mammoth had. (Thank you Anna!!)  The pattern is from Bunny Hill. I was so intimidated to cut into that kit! I have done very little with wool  except collect it and drool over every one else's work~~ oh boy! Now I am hooked! :-) I am working on an embroidery project, but have a bunch of woolie projects in my future! Anna you created a woolie monster! LOL

I hope Mother Nature has been kind to all of you~
I need to get back to my machine now.

Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!!

It Is Going to be a Fun Year!

Did you notice all the new buttons in my sidebar? Blogger isn't playing nice with me, but all the links are attached to the buttons in the side bar. :-) What fun things do you have planned for the year?

Until next time~
happy stitchin'!!

I Did A Happy Dance~

...and you should count yourself blessed that you weren't around to see that!! LOL :-)

I finally got the top together~  whoohoo!!

It is 88.5 x 88.5 and there is no place in my house where I can get a full photo! :-o It is snowing outside, so couldn't go out there either. Maybe the weather will be more cooperative when I get it quilted in the spring. ;-)

 I'm headed back to my machine to see what trouble I can get into today~ :-)

Have a happy day!
