My little guy is back at school and things are starting to fall into a routine, of course that will all change on the 22nd when my youngest is off to kindergarten. I'm going to feel a little lost in silence.

I did manage to have found my mojo {yaaay} and finish a quilt that has been sitting for a few months.

A friend brought some blueberries over the other day so...

A bag & a giveaway

I've also been a little busy with a couple of Trick or Treat bags for my boys. I know they haven't even gone back to school but my oldest starts in about the next Halloween on November 1st!! The ghosts glow in the dark.

A Heart for Children

One hundred years from now

It will not matter

What kind of car I drove,

What kind of house I lived in,

How much I had in my bank

Nor what my clothes looked like.

One hundred years from now

It will not matter

What school I attended,

What kind of typewriter I used,

How large or small my church,

But the world may be

...a little better because...

I was important in the

life of a child.

Your kids can never have too many hugs!

the quilt TOO!! WOOHOO!!

Bear with me

This is after the fiddly turning has taken place and the safety eyes have been attached. Right now the head [the thing at 7 o'clock] looks more like a mutant monkey!! It's going to take alot of trimming and shaping but that's the fun part...

seeing what or rather "who" emerges.

"The ornaments of a house are the friends who frequent it"

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Meet Ma'Scot

This is my first bear. He's made from a faux coat...
my hubby went a little overboard when I asked

him to pick up one coat to try my hand at a bear.

Well my babe arrived home with a mixture of faux plus muskrat, black persian lamb, mouton and mink!!! Two very large boxes of coats, needless to say I was awestruck. It's been a year since M'Scot was born and yesterday I decided it was time he had a friend.
I'll show the progress over the next few days...

Flowers & Frogs

Yaaayy!!
I'm finally getting a pic of my work on my blog...now to just figure out how to get it in the post instead of the sidebar.

This quilt is for a friend's first grand-daughter, Tianna Katherine Irene born July 4th,2009.
The yellow is alot brighter than it's showing...Mom is not a "pink kinda gal"

Bumble Beans has arrived!!

My fabric for the gather has finally arrived, it's lovely. I can't wait to see the end result...

Here we go again!!!

Amazing Amandjean is doing it again.
Yep, the girl is starting another 9Patch Quilt Along.

It all begins on Monday and for the next 70 days ( or whatever works for you ) make one
9 Patch and after 70 days you sash it,back it, quilt it and TA-DA! Simple?!

I was in on the first one and am just finishing up. I'll be looking at 2 this time. One is going to be a donation to the hospital my son and I stayed at for a month. The second is yet to be determined.

I'm coming along with my blog stuff slow but sure ( check out Kati Cupcake ) so this time I should be posting pics

Kati Cupcake Is Having A Giveaway

I'm still having scads of problems trying to "grab" link thingys and add them to direct to another blog but if you check out this blog you won't be disappointed. It's a lovely quilt and if you tell them that I "tried" to send you to Kati Cupcake I'd appreciate it!

I'm so excited

V of Bumble Beans has put out a call for blocks to be created for a donation quilt and I'm being included in the fun! It's my first time and I must say I'm a bit nervous. I can't wait to see the 3 fabrics V is sending for the block. I will try to get my camera and blog figured out to post pics of this and my other quilts.

Finished Playing Catch-Up

Yeah!!
I'm all caught up with Amandajean's 9 Patch quilt along at crazy mom quilts...now just to sew it all together. I can't wait to see the end result on this one.
I couldn't have just one iron in the fire so I added an Hour Glass quilt to my list of wips. They go hand in hand with the other 5 wips I need batting for...YIKES! Time to take a trip to the city.
That's how it is when you're out in the boonies. I'm lucky though, my hubby Phil, doesn't mind picking up fabric and such when he passes through the BIG city on his way up north. He's a real sweetie ;0)

Fighting With My Camera

I'm still fighting with my camera consequently...no pics as of yet! I am so NOT a computer geek. I just can't seem to get the hang of it, *&^%^**^!!!
I've been lurking around and found a blog that is Canadian based for fabrics Pink Panda Fabrics, and no I haven't got the thingy figured out as to how to make the names highlight. I truly am hopeless but I'll keep trying,wish me lots of luck!!

Playing Catch-Up

How are you doing with your quilt along 9 patch for Crazy Mom Quilts quilt along? I'm trying to get the last 15 finished...

A Celebration of Firsts!!

Have you checked out Quiltin' Like Crazy? This is a wonderful site and right now if you leave a comment you can be entered into a first time Give Away.

Amandajean at Crazy Mom Quilts is also in the midst of a 9 Patch Quilt Along. It's been alot of fun too. Hopefully I can get on track again in the next couple of days...I'm having a bit of a time trying to get this blogging-thing sorted out. Hence no pics thus far...

Hi, have you seen some of the gorgeous quilts starting to emerge from The Old Red Barn quilt along. WOW!! It's not too late to jump on the band wagon and have some fun. In fact I do believe I'll be doing just that. If you need another reason to add to your project list just check out the Give Aways...OH MY!
