My win and where I have been

It has been busy here with grandkids and puppies and just plain craziness! But vthings are getting back to normal and it looks like it is just going to be me and the dogs for most of the week-end.




This is a prize I won in late june from here

http://messykaren.blogspot.com/ It's a wonderful prize! I have never knitted but used to crochet and know how much time it takes to make pretty things! And the lotion,Honey and Black Seed, is a new fragrance to me and I love it.

I guess I will have no excuse but to finish this now will I?


Big Brother is back!! Any more fans out there?

Covering burn marks



My daughter and grandson are visiting me this week. She had lyposcopy for endometriosis and they removed a cyst so she is recuperating here. I take them home tomorrow.


She has a Christopher Lowell bedspread that had some burn marks on it. I used applique to cover them in one corner. It turned out pretty cute!

puppy love

I really do love her. But she is so destructive! She chews cords! Last week she messed up my granddaughters phone charger cord and her laptop cord.

Tonight I was sewing and stopped to answer the phone. I heard my machine sewing like crazy but by the time I got there she had chewed the cord in two. Which for some reason caused it to rev up. Really wanted to cry over that one! The shop is over an hour away in each direction and who knows how much it costs to replace?


The first picture I loaded by mistake,LOL! My daughters friend brought her new baby by to visit. It is the little boy I recently made a blanket for.

The last 3 pictures are Bella about a month ago. Before she got into cords. I ran to the store and when I came back she had destroyed a whole bag of fiberfill and taken a bunch of safety pins out of the pin cushion.

I am so mad at her but that face! It gets me! And her mama (my daughter) is going to replace my cord,that's for sure!

A lot of these are at least a yard and some 4 or 5 yards. The blue is over 10 yards!













Two weeks ago I went to an estate sale and a couple of yard sales. I got a lot of material! Some Joan Kessler for Concord Mills, Susan Winget Fabric traditions, marcus Brothers flannels,a bunch of homespun! I was in fabric Heaven!
I am someday , going to learn a better way to line up my pictures... and learn first is last! But not tonight.
