What I got

Hello there!  How's everyone doing?  I finally got a minute to sit down and show you what I received from Jennie for the Quilter's Day swap.  It is so totally ME!  I want to make more. 

It's a rainbow Swoon pillow cover!  OH I LOVE IT!!!!  I haven't gone to get a pillow form for it yet so I'm just admiring it.  But as soon as I do, it will be going on my bed.  Matches nothing on my bed but I do not care.  Thank you so, so much Jennie!!  Oh.  Jennie was kind enough to add some sweets to the swap package but um, they are gone.  :)



I lucked out and did some sewing this weekend!  I got those three mini messenger bags done.  Finally.  And did I ever show you my husband's bag?  He has a briefcase but hates lugging it around.  He just needed something to carry in the truck for paperwork and a calculator and whatever else he feels he needs to have.  He bugged me for a bag for months.  I finally broke down and made him one.  I used black duck cloth and  blue tractor lining.  Kept it as simple as I could so it wouldn't be too "girly" looking.  The handles are short too.  Beats a plastic bag, I guess.



A chick update.   They are big.  They aren't "chicken" big but they aren't cute chicks anymore either.  And I'm happy to say that they are finally out of my garage and in a bigger pen in the barn.  They are still too young to be loose.  Hawks you know.  So they are penned.  Probably by July they will be big enough to be let out and roam around freely (in a fenced in area).  I'm happy to have them out of my garage.  They stink.  I have no photos of the chicks because they are no longer cute.  :)  No, no.  I will get up to the barn and snap a picture to show.

That's all for now.
Enjoy your day!

Quilter's Day Swap

Hello there!  I'm a bad blogger these days, aren't I?  Well to be honest, I have nothing to talk about.  Terrible, I know.  I haven't really been sewing.  I am working on something but it can't be revealed yet.  I also have those other projects hanging over my head but I won't list them here again.  It just depresses me.

I joined the Quilter's Day Swap hosted by Heidi and I got my items out on time.  I'm sure my partner has gotten them already but I haven't heard.  Here's what I sent:


I was on my Granny Square kick (still am; fighting the urge to go cut 2.5" squares) and I made my partner a mug rug.  I just shrunk the squares down just a bit.  I made the same block with 2.5" squares, intending to make that one the mug rug but it was too big.  Some wonder clips, a cute zippered bag and done.  I wanted to do more but I just didn't have the time.  Work is for the birds.  :p

You know this time last year, I was spending my days just sewing away.  Not making any money but sewing, sewing, sewing.  I still have the quilt tops that I finished last summer hanging over my bannister, heckling me every day.  Finish meeeee!  QUILT MEEEEEEE!  UGH.  QUIET!  I will finish you when I have time!  GRRRRRR.  Kicker is... I have backings for 3 of the tops.  Sigh.  So sad.

Enjoy your weekend!
