My first ever quilt

One thing I always wanted to learn was to make a quilt. I finally got enough courage to make one. I have been hoarding Amy Butler's LOVE fabric and I didn't know what to do with it. My handicapped sister-in-law's birthday was Wednesday. So I gave her my first quilt.

I have made pocket in a quilt before but no real quilt. I even did binding. To me that was scary. But I just LOVE it.

I am so Happy with it. It is 10 inch squares. I quilted them in the ditch. I did not want to do anything to hard.

<<>This poor kitty. I have used this before. I just think it is soo cute. We have stray Cats around.3 black and white long hair. This winter has been sooooo bad cold, ice, and snow. We have been feeding them cat food. Plus please don't forget the chickens. we feed them too. I am amazed that they cross the street every day to for us to feed them. It's a shame that the owner does not feed them. We are getting hammered with snow again.. So far 6 inches. Plus ice.

Have A Great Day

What I am working on






Broccoli and tomato and Bacon quiche YUMMY!!!

Ripple Scarf and M & M's

One of my addictions is M & M's. I try to get every new season's.

I don't always put them in a tea cup though.


My Ripple Scarf I double it and make a loop. So comfy and warm. I got the pattern from Lion brand.

One heart I made. Not very pleased with it found the pattern through Theresa's site on my blog bar. She has wonderful tutorials. This one was on you tube

Can't wait for Valentine's Day. We always know Spring is not far away.

Cupcakes and Thrifting

I am a very big thrifty person. I believe that If we can reuse things than lets try to. So I was at my favorite shop and they had these cups and plates. I think they are form 40's and 50's or maybe 60's. I love the colors.

Don't ya love steamy hot chocolate muffins. I only made 5 cuz well my husband and I are trying to change the way we eat. I guess you could say diet. But I hate that word.

I have been crocheting. I made a scarf that I will post about next time.

Waiting for the next part of the winter storm today. Everything is closed due to ice and snow.

Don't the cups and plates remind you of spring????

Moda Bake Shop

I love to sew. But I am not that good at it. My lines are crooked. I really love sewn pillows and quilts and things. I have made basic curtains and a few tote bags. Nothing fancy. So I started to to collect patterns. Now Moda is having a Progressive Dinner. What Fun. They are giving stuff away plus you can meet other bloggers. This is my granny square afghan I made took forever . I love the crazy left over colors.

We are expecting more snow today. Yeah. We have had around 70 inches this winter. YUCK.

Are temps are around 0 at night. Verry cold.

What's up on a Monday

Did you know January is National Hot Tea Month. I just found out.

I joined a new group calledhttp://groups.yahoo.com/angelwingscrocheting/ Such fun. Found some cool ideas. Hoping to meet some cool and interesting people.

There is a new pattern. Well it's old but used thread instead of yarn. It's called Pretty Petals Potholder. It's found in web.archive.org

This is just the beginning

I am making mine bright and cheery.

Mandala Love

I am still working on my blanket but things are going slow. I keep finding things to do.

Oh check out Scotty's Place for a really Gorgeous Doily she is making. I just love her Blog.

Well Have a Great Day.

Pillow and Chickens

My neighbor has 3 chickens. They cross the street to come to our house to be feed. Cuz we fed the deer so why not chickens too.

My pillow getting stuffed. I really like this pattern but I think I am going to use a different ( smaller) hook next time.

My pretty pillow.. Rainbow colors.. My favorite

Have a Great Day!
