Do you love quilt magazines? (Giveaway)

I do! And that's why I am spreading the news that Quilt Frenzy  is having a Fons & Porter SUBSCRIPTION giveaway! Yes, I said it, a whole year of Fons & Porter in your mailbox. (Or mine, if I'm so lucky!) Check it out, and good luck! :o)

Gearing up for FNSI pt 2

It's Wednesday and I am prepping for this week's Friday Night Sew In hosted by Handmade by Heidi . Barring any last minute babysitting gigs for sick relatives, I will be all in trying to finish up some last minute gifts.(Yes, I am one of *those* people in the stores on Christmas Eve.) I am forever a procrastinator... I was 2 weeks late being born, 5 minutes behind for everything in life, and probably will be late for my own funeral. That being said... sign up and join in! I am hoping it lights a fire under my butt, maybe it can do the same for you!

Keeper of the stash!

Had to share this absolutely adorable picture of our cat sleeping on the small stash I have in our bedroom closet. I say he is guarding it because he knows what is dear to my heart! Ha! Good kitty! You will get extra treats tonight. :o)

Not sew unproductive FNSI

Had an impromptu babysitting session for my brother and his wife last night. The poor girl has come down with some nasty sinus infection and my brother was going to a concert. SO... call little sister in to help out with the kiddos. I grabbed the first travel-project I could think of and headed out. My night consisted of helping out with the wee ones, visiting with my sister-in-law and making a boat load of yo-yo's. Do I have a plan for them? No, but someday I will! I use a lot of my odd scraps for this. So, here is my Friday contribution. A gallon baggie full of yo-yo's. :o) Next week WILL be better! It has to be.

OH SEW Happy! :o)

Oh SEW happy day! Thanks to my hubby my sewing machine is running smoothly again. And thanks to my mom for the inspiration to get back at it! :o)

Friday Night Sew In! :o)

This is sooooo needed... hop on over to Handmade by Heidi and join in on the Friday Night Sew Ins... one on December 10th and the next will be December 17th. Kick the hubby and the kiddos out of your sewing space and get those last minute gifts and what-nots completed. I'm excited as this will be my first official joining in on something like this in blog-land. Yay! Now I just need to set up a Flickr account so I can post pictures after. :o)

This blog designing is driving me crazy!

Just not *getting* it, I guess? I love a lot of the headers some of you have out there, but all I have been able to figure out how to do is post one of my pictures behind their pre-set lettering. Bah! Wish I could just *sew* a header! Ha! I think I will try to post some pictures next... start getting a feel for this.
