Work not yet in progress

This morning I forced my children to go into Sue's Stitch in Time with me in search of the perfect frog fabric to inspire a baby gift. Instead Z found some fun pirate ships and a nice map fabric. So, today I am pondering how to make this a not too cheesy gift....maybe I like cheesy.

TA-DA!

My mom's birthday gift all done!! It's a peppermint stripe lap quilt made with love. and...fancy stitches!(that you can't see 'cause I'm a point-n-click photographer)

I also have some pre-school displays to show 'cause it's fun!

Yay for fall! and corn and pumpkins. And...I am loving the super-flying leaves in the wind today. It's a good day.

He Fixed It!

Hereis the WIP pic.

nothing to show

I have not drowned in my projects pile. But they seem to be multiplying YIKES! I intended to post once a week, but I have nothing to show. except this...no pictures!! Stupid Adobe is holding them hostage until I register, BUT it won't let me register!! James'll fix it. The pictures show a little friend's 1st birthday gift (finished since last pic) and two WIP's...a scrap scarf and my mom's birthday quilt. Dumb adobe.

Today I will

Buy some orange sticks(dark chocolate) and clean my house for dinner guests and wish I had time to work on my mom's birthday quilt (that I started at least 2 years ago!)maybe tomorrow...

I Finished some more!

I finished my quilt!! This is MY quilt, but if you come by on a chilly day, I might share. I'm working on yo-yo's out of the small scraps because I like these fabrics so much! No waste.

These are some over-due gifts. SSSHHH.

Funny pantsed monkey

Here he is!!!His pants are awful...But I had my heart set on the frog fabric. Lesson: ALWAYS measure.(but I probably won't) I have a quilt to show, too!! And...I started a scarf from the quilt scraps while sewing with Cindy. Maybe that'll get done tonight....

P.S. The monkey's a Christmas gift so, SSSHHH, don't tell.
