Happy Valentines Day

 

Wishing everyone a very Happy Valentine's Day!
Do you have big plans?  I know it can be difficult when the big day falls mid week, but I am planning a nice dinner for my man.  Now am am not much of a baker so  I found the cutest individual sized cheese cakes.  Gregg loves cheesecake so that will be a hit.

Wishing you all love & happiness,

My new purse

I wanted to share with the the darling purse & small bag my friend Deb made for me.  I just love the fabric she picked.  She gave me the pattern so I can swap the purse with a different fabric sometime.  I don't know if you can see it, but the zipper pull on the little bag is scissors.  Isn't it cute?

Here is a shot of the inside, beautiful Deb.

 

 

Then she made me this darling shopping bag with it's own bag to to store it in.  It folds up nice & tiny to fit in your purse until you are ready to fill it.  Now how did she know I love black & white cows?    I just love those faces.

Thanks for stopping by,
Hugs,

I'm addicted

Well, I must tell you all, I love this Twister tool by CS designs. I simply can't get over how neat it is. I have been buying charm packs and layer cakes like crazy because I can't stop making these little quilts. I purchased both sizes of the ruler & both books that are out there. “ Funny thing though, I bought the second book “Lets Twist Again”, first. However I did order the first book & can't wait to see shat great patterns & ideas or it that one.

Now after making this cutey, I called my friend Penny who comes to sew with me, and told her about this amazing tool. Well , I am such a good friend, I got her addicted as well. So together we made another top. Here is Penny's pretty rich toned one. She got her charms awhile ago from the quilt show we went to together & at the time didn't know what to do with them. L

eave it to me, I helped her out. Didn't it turn out nice? She is out buying more charms too to make more.

Here is my second one using soft pastel colors I had.

Of course since Valentine's day is coming, I just had to make this heart pattern which is in the book.

I can't stop looking at this PINK pretty, it is soooooooo me. It is going to go in my sewing room.

That is what I have been up to these last few weeks. I am waiting for my charms to come from Fatquarter Shop & Green Fairy Quilts, so I can make more. Having a great time. What have you been up to?

Thanks for stopping by,

If Stella can get her groove back, so can I

Well as Stella got her groove back in the movie, I think I now have my groove back. Life got a little stressful there & I just couldn't blog, but now that life is more normal, & my darling is doing great, I shall try to be more faithful in writing.

May I show you what I have been working on for Christmas presents? Well first we have a kitty pillow for Penny. The photo just doesn't show the bright green in the kitties eyes, they are so life like. Please excuse the shine of the plastic wrap, I had them wrapped before I remembered to take a photo. However, I think you can see the beauty of the faces.

Then we have a beautiful tea pot for my dear friend Deni. So many special times we have shared at tea places.

Then I made a urn with beautiful flowers & tiny Dresden plates for my friend Deb.

Then there are bunny faces for my friend Phyllis, she was speechless when she opened her package. I couldn't resist, & made one for the queen of bunnies, our Michelle May. Hope she liked it.

Like all of you I have been so busy at my sewing machine sewing, sewing, sewing. Today is Christmas eve & the door is closed, all the gifts are where they are suppose to be. Life is wonderful.

Merry Christmas to you all, & blessing to you.

Update on Gregg

Hello my dear blogger friends,
Just wanted to give you an update on Gregg.
Went to the Doctor on Wed and they took out the catheter and staples. Then the Dr came in
with the pathological findings and they found cancer in both lobes of his prostrate and a very aggressive one. 4 on a scale of 5, as we knew.
Good news is he got all of it. Bad news is since the cancer was so
aggressive, He will have to be checked often to make sure it hasn't got out,starting in three weeks. So pleased the cancer is gone, but concerned
it could still lurking.
However Mr. G is getting stronger every day.
Thank you for your prayers.

While Gregg rests, I hang out in my sewing room. I made the silhouette of the lady sewing for my wall. Notice her PINK shoes? Perfect for me.

Also have been working on some birthday gifts. I just love picking out all the different threads, such pretty colors. Watching the machine do the stitching is so much fun, it just amazes me how it knows what to do & where to go.

















So until later, hugs to all,
Rebecca
