Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Just in time to show off the green I finished my table topper!
Yippee--I have to say I danced a little jig because I have a finish for OPAM and it is not midnight on March 31st.
So happy that I am aiming for a second finish.

The weather has been so nice lately (except when it is almost too hot) that we have been outside wandering and checking out everything that is blooming that should not be and both of my guys ended up finding these:
I didn't find one, but I have them. If I were any luckier I might start oozing green or something.
Going to go eat some Lucky Charms and see if I can sew some more.
Hope you all have a weekend full of rainbows and pots of gold.

Hopefully I can finish something later and have a happy Friday too!!

Another Top in Need of Quilting

Finally got the last border on Nirvana
It is one of the Block Central BOMs that Joy and I started a bunch of moons ago.


One of these days I am really going to have to break down and quilt some of these.
For now, I have a few dozen more to finish!

A Finish and Robo-Kitty!

I made it a day early even with the shortened month.
A little late for Valentine's Day but maybe I am just early for next year??
Really bad lighting--need to get my Ott light out of the box.
Think that goes with the organizing.
So now I need to figure out what to work on next.
Dresden plates, more strings, or one of the gazillion patterns I just bought.
Guess I will go figure that out as long as CeCe doesn't shoot me with her eye lasers.
Maybe I should clean the litter box first???
Talk to you later I hope.

Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival--Part 1

This is what I left the house with Friday morning.
and here are some of the things that I came home with:
Love Lynette Anderson
and of course no shopping spree would be complete without
bringing home a pile of purple.
and this is my motivation
Sadly it is a wee bit blurry, but I would love to do one like this with these colors.
Do these two look tired????
It was a good day!!!
More photos soon.
For now I must get back to sewing for Christmas Club.

Good Start to the Weekend

Finally got to watch my DH fly his RC plane today.
It has always been something--usually the weather--that has kept me from actually seeing him do his thing.
I really did try to take a photo of the plane in the air, but my poor little camera could not keep up.
He has several more planes in various stages of completeness---HMMMM---yep exactly like me and my UFO's.
The weather was also nice enough to let me get a picture of my latest top finish.
I think I started this one over a year ago????
Going to have to double scrub the kitchen floor soon because it is the only place large enough to layer it.
And now happiness big time--NASCAR season is back.
Sitting here watching the Budweiser Shootout--Woo Hoo!!!!
I know--I'm such a boy!!!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend no matter what goodness you are getting into.
Vroom vroom!!

Saved From Humiliation!!!

Quick Update!
I do have finishes for January!!
With all the running around and life in general I was starting to wonder.
I dug through my UFO pile and found these little lovelies that needed finishing and they saved me from failure in month one of the OPAM challenge.


I finished the last 4 and added them to the chicken coop.


Joy has a tutorial for these little cuties over on her blog.
And yes, that is a giant kitty back behind the basket.
I am going to go try to finish one more thing, so I am off.
Happy Sewing everyone!!!
