A huge Thank you to all that entered and to those of you that helped spread the word!  You absolutely rock. I had so much fun reading your comments and suggestions that I've decided to have another giveaway soon, so keep watching and I hope to see you at my next chance to win!



NOW ON TO SOME NEW BUSINESS!!

I'm sure alot of you have seen or read right here in blogland about the devastation in AUSTRALIA.  It's on the news and it's another mind-blowing act of nature that leaves us questioning  "WHY?".

OKay, maybe you, like me, can't be right there in the thick of things to help BUT there is something you can do to help.  There is going to be a SILENT AUCTION  commencing NOW & RUNNING THROUGH TO JANUARY 24.  You can donate an item and donate the proceeds or you can place a bid. Either way check it out and spread the word!
 *****Alot of our blogland friends are there.*****

This BOX POUCH TOTE  is my contribution to the FLOOD APPEAL AUCTION  -

It's perfect for a sock box or travel case!  This box pouch is fully lined and has a clean finish inside  { no unsightly seams showing }.  The size is approximately 5" x 7" x 5", very roomy.   

My box pouches also sport a carrying strap and pull tabs.

This is quality folks or else I wouldn't offer it up for auction!!

Thank you once again for your generous bids!!

Bless You!!

1: The starting bid on this item is $15.00

2: Place your bid right here on this site. Please included your email address with you bid. Make sure your bid is higher than the previous bidder.

                          4 days remaining to enter my very first GIVEAWAY!!!

Sew Fresh Fabrics Quilting Bee

I joined in on the Sew Fresh Fabrics Quilting Bee. There's a button on the side bar over there to check it out for yourself.

Yay!! Peg and Becca!

FIRST GIVEAWAY, YOU CHOOSE

        WOOF! GIVEAWAY  TIME!!  WOOF!

This is "Bullet"! Our beautiful 8 year old rottweiler. She is such a suck it's pathetic. She's also the only other female in the house.

 I had an idea to help the S.P.C.A. in our area by making dog coats and either selling them with the proceeds going to the shelter or giving the coats directly to the shelter, I'm not sure yet which way to go here. Any suggestions?

I want to make this year the turning point for me, no doubt something I should have done a long time ago. I've participated in a few "quilt-alongs" to help out and it feels so great joining in!

 I received a dog coat pattern for free last year from one of my  blogland friends so it just makes sense to use the pattern for, what I hope is, a whole lot of good to some very deserving furry friends. 

I think a name for the project would be a good thing too. I'm tossing around a couple but they don't have the punch I want.

So do you have any suggestions for a name and what are your thoughts, sell and donate the money OR donate the coats?

In the spirit of a new year,  I'm going to have my FIRST GIVEAWAY !!!  I'll pick a name from those that enter and the winner will have a choice of a "dog coat and a surprise" or a "box pouch"!

                                             {not exactly as shown, will be different fabric}

 How's that sound? Let's have the closing date JANUARY 12, 2011. Let me know if you've blogged about my giveaway for a second chance. You don't have to become a follower but it would be nice too!

So please spread the word and help me help Bullet's buddies!

                                               

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

It's a comin' slow but sure.



This is the second panel of my undecided project. I can't wait to start the quilting on it. The house is quiet, Bullet {our rottweiler} is finally able to sleep and when I've finished this post I'm trekking down to my sewing machines to hide for the rest of the day!

What's your favourite part of the projects you're working on?

Have a great day!
