WOOF! I Mean BOO!!

Her eyes may make you think she's possessed but...

our baby is a super suck.

(the smile gives her away)

YUCK!!

It's so slimy and gross!

He likes it!

The artist

"D" is in his element!

HAVE FUN

AND

PLEASE, BE SAFE

Prehistoric

I picked these fabrics for my oldest, who is a dinosaur fanatic!

If it deals with dinos, my boy is there with bells on!

His choice is an all flannel quilt,

now I just need to figure out a design.

Hmmm....

Ooo Ooo Witchy Woman

I saw this idea here 

 Attic Window Quilt Shop

and said to myself,

"Self, your kiddos will get a kick out of this gal".

Sew I made one!

I'm particularly proud of my spider.

The bad boy is fashioned from a satin scrap for the body and

zipper scraps from my box totes.

That fabulous ribbon was from my not -so -local FS

for a steal...50 cents a spool!

BooYah!

BOO!

My little table runner is all finished.

My youngest brought home from school the mini pumpkin, much to CJ's delight!

I love this pint size vampire and the squares with the ghosts, stars, moons and eyes actually

glow in the dark!

FNSI

I'm sewing up a little

Halloween Runner

for my Friday Night Sew In project.

Just have the binding to handsew down!

UPDATE...

Binding is on and this puppy is on our table!

Itty Bitty Pouch

I've been playing around...

and this is what I came up with!

Friday Night Sew In

Toast and a Bowtie

Do you sew stuffies or softies for your little ones?

I made this fine chap, my son named him "TOAST",

a couple of years ago.

He has been loved very much in that time and still holds a soft spot in CJ's group of toys.

Toast was fashioned from a recycled piece of wool skirt, a few single buttons that

CJ picked out and a bit of yarn for hair.

Toast has been through alot, hence the rather crooked smile/smirk!

I think he holds quite a few secrets.

Do you like the bowtie?

CJ's Radical Robot...Finished

and it's on his bed!!

I decided to go outside of my usual Free Motion work

and

ended up with a

Chevron design

and

5 point stars along the edge.

The binding is made out of the left over pieces and some other scraps

from my stash.

You won't be disappointed, that's for sure!

Very Cherry



I made this handy tote this weekend

in between turkey dinner

and

4 kiddos out of school for a long weekend

Giving Thanks

~

These were my dear father-in-law's.

Dad passed away May 26,2011.

It took me until this week to take them out of their suitcase.

I've had alot of  tears just holding and stroking them and giving thanks for the privilege of being in his life.

My FIL was an amazing man and he meant the world to me.

In fact over the last 14 years he's been my only parent.

My plan for these is a memory quilt.

The ties that Bind

It's all ready to sew on

Almost

Just about there

Next

It's pinned

and

today I've finished the quilting.

Yay!!

Next step

 binding

and

pics!

Petting Zoo

I picked these up a couple of weeks ago at one of the few independent fabric shops in the city.

It's a great little shop that is run by Collette, solely.

I really like that she carries prints that no one else in the city has and these fabs are 45" wide to boot!

TOO CUTE!!

Another apron

This is how to recycle a tired sheet.

In fact I have enough to back a baby quilt too with some left over!

This apron is for my foster daughter "K".

The reverse (I forgot to take a pic) is a kitten print.

Order Up, Brownies!!

My oldest chef  "D" has alot of fun in the kitchen sporting his new apron.

This little guy makes some mean brownies.
