Memorial Day Weekend

Hope you all enjoyed your long weekend, we spent Saturday and Monday working around the house. On Sunday we spent the day at my sisters, hanging out and celebrating a birthday. I did start something new I went and bought the threads a few weeks ago for the Nuts Stitch Here pillow. I started it on Saturday, and have the acorns stitched, the rest of Saturday, I did quite a bit of sewing, 4 pillows, some mending and a duvet for my nephew. Trains on one side and wolves running on the other. Been doing things that need to done around the house. No big stitching just here and there, I have to be in the moment to stitch. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

No Stitching but some shopping

Yesterday afternoon, went to AC Moore and my LNS to pick up the latest JABC Teacup. Today my sister called and we went up there, off to Walmart with my nephew and sister to pick out some fabric for a comforter cover (duvet) for his bed. I have had train fabric for it but did not know what to use as the back. He picked out some fabric for back that has wolves running....so there we have it. I also bought two panels to make two pillows one for him and I with wolves on them also. Came back showed my niece so now she wants the other pillow panel. I gave my niece her fleece blanket I made for her which has a horse pattern on it. Well for me today, I bought the Twilight soundtrack, I bought the movie (dvd) when it came out. I am really happy with the soundtrack, it is now on my ipod. I looked up and found out the New Moon movie is coming out in November, looking forward to that.

Into the New Year

Hi,
No stitching today...might do some while watching the hockey game. Some sewing mojo....last night I made some curtains for my laundry room, the have flamingos, flowers and umbrellas on them. I have had the fabric for quiet a while. Today I made a fleece blanket for my niece which has horses on it. I sewed a border six inches in on the fabric, cut to the fabric and tied the pieces. I was watching I pronounce you Chuck and Larry, funny movie, I have seen it multiple times. Back to my craft room to make a pillow for the "Just Add Snow" Pine Mountain. In the pile of fabric I found some items to mend so I did those first, so back in the dresser to wear now. Made the pillow and used my "purple thang", highly recommend when pushing out the corners and filling with fiber fill. Walked the dog....had dinner then watched the VH1 Rock Honors "The Who"...great show. Now on to watch the hockey game. Til next time,

Thanksgiving Weekend

Hi,

Spent the weekend with family. My sister, her children and I went and saw Twilight. The movie was really good. Would like to see it again. Thanksgiving dinner was great and enjoyed the leftovers the next night also. No stitching but some sewing for my sister, added patches to my nephews Boy Scout uniform.
