ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT TO ENTER

What's that?

ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT!!

Just what is it you're offering, Carolyn, for

FEBRUARY'S GIVEAWAY?

{ scroll back to Monday, Feb. 7th }

I'm so glad you asked!

How about one of these

DRAWSTRING JEWELLERY POUCHES?!

They are so stinkin' cute at only

1 3/4" in diameter at the base and 1 3/4" high.

Even so, they still have 5 compartments for all kinds of rings & things.

A great way to keep your treasures from getting scratched and damaged.

The center one, red roses, is abit bigger at 2 1/2" in diameter at the base

and 2 1/2" in height but once again 5 compartments.

I've started to put these little pouches into my Etsy shop.

I say started because it takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to download the pics on

 { gulp }

dial-up.

I strongly dislike dial-up, I hate it !

Have a great day!!

-35C with a Barbeque!

 

Yes! You read it correctly, -35C! Again! Can we say brrrrrr!!

No matter, we Canadians are a tough people!

What do we do in this kind of weather?

~

We drag out our bbqs and set up by the pool...

Are these fantastic or what?

I won these a couple of weeks ago  from

Creative Chicks

~

The moose came to me from

SEW FRESH FABRICS

They were used for a block that will be included in a quilt for the Linus Project!

~

This is my finished block heading back to
Peg & Becca

~

Can't believe I'm finished already but it takes at least 2 weeks travel time,

one way.

Speaking of travel...

if you scroll back to Monday's post you'll find a

GIVEAWAY.

BOO!! trick or TREAT?!

                                         

                                                                                

                            Once again my kiddos were the inspiration for another project. 

 

The room they have is seriously lacking storage space of any kind.

Storage for little things, their collectibles and such.

I won this fiendishly fun fabric last year from Quilt Taffy !

I was abit stumped as to what to do with it until now...

TADA!!

{ sorry for the crappy pic }

These are fantastic storage posckets to hang on the wall.

I was too anxious to get a pic posted so I'll get a better shot later today.

ALSO

The TREAT!!

The Week of February 5th and an invitation?

Everyone has those weeks when things just won't mesh, right?

This week was mine! Oh Boy!!

~

Believe it or not but this is suppose to be a travelling jewellery pouch!
Yeah, a little on the large side me thinks!!

So I turned it inside out and found a jelly bean container that is clear and fits in just perfect. Now I've got a place to put sewing supplies.

~

I've been trying to get the measurements figured out for the proper finished size of a jewellery pouch. Well the first attempt rendered a very mini size.
There are 5 compartments in this mini.

 All well and fine but too easy to misplace during travel I thought or if you had larger pieces to store.

~

Back to the drawing board and with some refiguring and
voila!

All in all everything turned out OK with these and I even have a few extras!
I think this could call for a...


stop back tomorrow!!


I know, I'm a tease.

~

On another note I was in contact with the

 NEW HOPE DOG RESCUE
in SASKATOON, SK

 and Karen is wanting to collaborate on a raffle
 to help them obtain a new home base.

 

Have a great day!

Pillow Talk

I wanted to make something for my boys yesterday and came up with these ~

This is for my "Dino-mite" kiddo

can you see the skeletons?

and

This is for my "Free Spirit" kiddo

animals and blue are his passion!

Have a wonderful day

Waiting

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

********More snow and cold { I hope not } or warmth and spring on its way? **********

This is another set of blocks that's been waiting in the wings to be finished.

By "waiting in the wings" I mean folded in a bag in a box.

Yes, my head is downcast in shame.

Unfortunately I had one jelly roll { a win } and am now finding that it's not going to be big enough so I'll incorporate some other fabrics for sashing, I think.

For now it may just end up back in the box.

While I'm on the topic of "waiting" and Lord knows we all do enough of it.

 Take a moment, maybe while you're "waiting" and please send your prayers and positive energy to the folks in Australia that are now bracing for another disaster.

 If you've been checking your blogs you're seeing the monstorous storm heading their way. It's just terrifying to see the images.

For those of you in the eastern Canada and our neighbors to the south stay safe in the midst of yet another winter storm. This one looks to be real nasty.

The weather seems to be going crazy along with the goings on in the world.

I think Mother Nature is really pissed.
