Okay, someone heard me

Look what I bumped into this afternoon...

And yes.  I ordered the pattern.

Sigh.  I'm going to make ONE new stocking this year.  For Punkie.  IF and big IF I can find the fabric I want to use.

That is all.  No more.  The other two will have to wait until next year.

I have some things to show you but I'm not feeling it today.  I caught a bug or a cold or something.  So I'm going to take my sick self to the couch and veg out the rest of the night.

*cough cough*

Someone needs to stop me

I want to make the three of us new Christmas stockings.  I just don't have the time.  Someone please tell me that there's always NEXT year!

Enjoy your day!

Layer Cake Quilt Along Block 2

This block was created by Vickie and I think it's great!  While it took some brain power on figuring out my layout since I used two different colors, it all worked out in the end.

Here are my 2 blocks together.

Enjoy your day!

I'm Caught Up

I think.  Here's what I got finished in the last couple of days.

First, my Bliss bag.  LOVE IT!  I made one boo-boo when I ordered fabric.  The aqua polka dot?  It's flannel.  I didn't realize it until I received it.  Oh well.  The inside is really soft.  LOL.  I left out the green and brown charms.  I wanted a red/pink/aqua color scheme.  I can't wait to show it off tomorrow!

okay.  turn your heads.  I'm tired of fighting with blogger.

I got the blue and white candlemats quilted a while back.  Just had a chance to snap their picture.  One is flipped over so that you can see the pretty backing.

I finished the personalized pillow for the birthday girl.  I love how this one came out.  It has moved to the top of my favorite list.  It will be going into the mail this weekend.  On its way to Texas.

Lastly, some zippered pouches for Christmas gifts.  I don't know who is getting which one.  I think I'm just going to put them in separate gift bags and it will be the luck of the draw by the recipient.  Actually, the Frolic one is going to go to my SIL since it has her favorite colors in it.  Rest is up for grabs.

I coordinated the zippers as best as I could.  Thought I would show you that too.

That's all here.  Tonight I will be doing some baking to bring dessert for tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner.  I don't like pie.  Terrible, I know.  So I must bring chocolate!  :)

Have a great Thanksgiving!!  Gobble!  Gobble!

Secret Santa Swap Items

I got everything finished for my partner.  I just have to add the label to the table topper.

Here's the table topper:

And here's a matching key chain:

You've already seen the snowflake ornament in my previous post.

I hope she likes it all!  It's going into the mail this weekend.

Come back tomorrow to see what else I've finished!

Friday Night Sew In Results

Hooray!  I got some sewing in AND I did a Christmas craft with Amelia.

First - I got the letters started for another personalized pillow.  This one is for my BFF's youngest daughter.  She is turning 1 at the beginning of December.  I can't be there for her big birthday bash (they live in Texas) but I will send a gift.  I need to work on the border and get the pillow all together.  I will show you again once I'm done with it.

Next up, Amelia and I beaded some snowflake ornaments for the grandparents for Christmas gifts.

Pretty!

 Here is a close up of Amelia's.  This one is for my mom.

And this one is mine.  Well, it's going to go to my Secret Santa swap recipient.  I should take a picture of my table topper.  I'm all done with it.  I just need to make a label for it.  I'll show you soon.

  
I also got some prep done for a quilting class that I'm taking tomorrow.  My husband was feeling a bit better so he kept Amelia entertained so that I can do some sewing and then I entertained her with some beading so that he could rest.  It worked out and I'm happy about that.

Now I can shift focus (again) and finish my Bliss tote.  It's really coming along!

Enjoy your day!

Friday Night Sew In

Are you in?  I'm really going to try.  I have started a project; not the bag but something else.  Yes.  See?  I TOLD you.  I have terrible focus!!  But in my defense, this is a birthday gift that needs to be in the mail next week.  I need to finish it.  I have started on my new bag though.  It's coming along.

My husband is feeling under the weather.  I mean, he stayed home from work and actually vegged on the couch all day.  That is so NOT like him.  He's a man on the go go go!  He really must not be feeling well.  I will be on Punkie duty tonight.  I hope I can get some sewing in!

So.  Join us tonight.  If you can.

Enjoy your night!
