The tree is down, decorations put away and the house is spotless. Time to focus and reorganize. I’m telling myself…stay on track.
Do you know how hard that is when the weather for Chicago this January has been amazing! Walks without snow boots and sitting outside on the patio. I actually saw my neighbors sitting around a fire pit a couple of evenings ago!
So please forgive me for my lack of postings. I’ve been preoccupied with chirping birds and long walks:)
I have been working on this years list of projects. Although, I have to admit that I didn’t finish one thing on 2011’s list, so I’m going to keep it simple this year.
One of last years projects has been moved to 2012. CrabApple Hill’s pattern, Nesting Time. I’m determined on this one!
I want to make a Kaffe quilt. I’m thinking a scrappy Carpenters Star would be fun.
And last, get a jump start on all those handmade Christmas gifts this year. I’ve already got some ideas!
My work list is much, much longer!
Did you make your list yet? We would love to know what you’ve got planned for 2012.
First, I’d like to thank everyone for all the kind comments left on the blog and we hope you will continue to visit us! Second, I really enjoyed browsing through all of the blogs that were attached to all those wonderful comments. There are so many talented people out there!

Halloween remembered. You know, when they were little and wore cute costumes. Here’s a few of my fave’s from Halloween’s past.
Holy Batman Returns!

Blues Brothers..they're putting the band back together.
Peace out
And then they grow up and want to scare people and wear gory ones:)
I hope all your kiddies bring home all your favorite candies. Happy Halloween everyone!
Has anyone had a chance to pick up this darling new magazine called Mollie Makes? It’s ever so sweet and loaded with fresh ideas, tutorials and really great photos.
This is the issue I picked up at Joann’s…
Tea Time Treats and Little Love Birds made from felt.
It came with this kit to make a felt necklace too! I found the free PDF download for the shapes and directions for the necklace if you’re interested found here.
Hurry and get an issue because I think they sell out fast. You won’t be disappointed!
Isn’t this the cutest and saddest little kitty ever!!
I need to take a bit of a break from blogging these next couple of weeks because I, too, have broken my arm. I was stacking fabric, leaned too far to one side, and tipped my chair. I know, I should have used a step ladder. I’ve learned my lesson! At least I can still claim it’s a quilting injury…right?
It seems I broke both bones and shattered one of them into about 6 pieces. So, in about an hour I’m heading off to the hospital for surgery and to have a plate put in. I just wish I looked as cute as that kitty right now!
No worries though, I’ve been blessed with an amazing support system of friends that have gathered to help me. Thanks to everyone. I truly appreciate all the love:)
{{{{Hugs everyone}}}}
Unfortunately our antique store here in Crystal Lake flooded a couple of weeks ago and they decided to clear inventory with a huge sale. I thought I’d make a trip over there to see if they had a few items to use as props or display items for our upcoming booth at the show.
I found this picket fence flower box, which I’m going to paint. I thought it would be cute to hold a grouping of fat quarters and maybe hang patterns from the picket fence part. It even looks cute with the butterfly quilt behind it.
I found these window frames for $2!
Look at how these could turn into a way to display fabric lines. But my first idea was how awesome these would be with an embroidered or appliqued design in each square.
And lastly, my cutest find is these children’s chair backs, which were taken off the seat and had holes drilled into the backs so that they could be “propped” against the wall and things hung from them.
Like all my cute dishtowels!
We are workingon some projects that we hope to show off next week. Take care and have a great weekend everyone!
