I'm Hoppin' in May
*
I'm also flapping my wings and ruffling my feathers to gear up with
Madame Samm of Sew We Quilt
and Mary for the
" It's For The Birds " Blog Hop!
A wonderful way to celebrate May ;)
*
Come flap your wings with me.
*
HAPPY STITCHING ;)
Come, meet my "leetle" friends!
*
Meet Paddy O'Iron ;D
*
I finally did it and bought this new toy for my space.
It's got all the extras that will make my ironing a breeze and pressing matters,
well they just won't matter with an extra blast of steam!
It even has a low steam/high steam switch, too cool!
Not to mention auto shut off, retractable cord, a ton of vents, self cleans
and here's the biggy
$23.97!
*
A few weeks ago a couple of blogs I stalk, were asking the question,
"What's your favourite notion or tool?"
I mentioned my super handy spring loaded scissors!
These babies are fan ~ flippin' ~ tastic!
Thank you again, Peg :)
Yes I love my leetle toys, nice to know it's not just for guys to enjoy.
*
*
I'm now working on a couple of surprises (PIFs).
No peeking, just yet ;)
*
HAPPY STITCHING ;)

What's Your Irish Handle?
*
Have you seen this floating around today?
Turns out my Irish handle is
"Greenie McKnob" ;)
however; with tongue in cheek, my Mr.'s Irish tag....
"Lucky McKnob"!
*
I'm not saying anything else ;D
*
Happy & Satisfied ( I Think )
*
Happy Birthday, Dad!!
*
.jpg)
Everyone! Hope you get your Irish on today!!
*
*
I think I've managed to navigate through the maze that is CHANGE!
PLEASE,
I hope it all works now :)
*
As many of you have claimed the road to Bloglovin was an easy one,
your change over would be akin to the arrow on the LEFT,
HOWEVER;
my trip was much more akin to the arrow on the RIGHT! ;D
*
By golly, I finally got there though!
*
HAVE A DELIGHTFUL ST. PATRICK'S DAY
AND MAY YOU ALL BE BLESSED WITH THE
LUCK OF THE IRISH
:)

Ain't That JimDiddlyDandy?
*
What's all the flap about Google Reader shutting down July 1st?
Why can't they just leave things alone?
I get it, nothing remains the same,
BUT
I have, at this point, no clue as to what I need to do,
DO YOU?
Nor do I know where to switch to
Bloglovin?
Feedly?
Pulse?
What exactly am I having to switch for?
I think it's so that I can continue to read the blogs I'm following (is this correct?)
*
*
Is this going to change the look and way I blog here?
All the computer jargon might as well be written in same ancient text because I'm lost.
Apparently FEEDLY is making the transition easier, but if I transfer my readers list
(if that's what you're suppose to do), is that all I do?
*
I can't be the only one sitting in this boat out in the murky waters. Let's try to help each other
navigate through the sludge to save our "Whatever It Is We Need To Saves"!
*
What are you going to do?
Helpful suggestions and/or are definitely welcome.

Nancy Drew , a Clue and a GIVEAWAY too!
*
Thank you for another hopping good time
Madame Samm and Carol!
You're 2 gals that know how to have fun!
*
(forgive the glare)
*
Welcome, to what a great many of us would call a step back in time.
A time when we read the adventures of this plucky teen and her friends.
Nancy Drew.
*
*
This young lady has been the talk of the town these last few days
and has also been the inspiration behind a wide variety of hidden mysteries.
This is my offering for Madame Samm's hop,
a pleasingly, plump pillow with a hexie front
(my first completed hexie project),
all hand quilted
(another first for me, what do you think Susan?)
*
*
That magnifying glass is something my parents had when I was a kid,
leather bound handle, brass fittings and a built in light.
I finished this pillow off with a zipper back
(another first, in a pillow)
*
*
How cute is this top hat and monocle?
It's the original box the magnifier came in ;)
Keep reading....
because there's a giveaway,
since you stuck around through my babbling!
*
*
Tell me your what your favourite kind of book would be
AND
you must be a follower.
One comment please.
I'll leave this open until Tuesday, March 19th.
My giveaway...
*
will be this drawstring pouch but in a different fabric.
A great little pouch for your jewels or your sewing supplies!
Someone had suggested that my pouch would be great for their hexie projects!
*
See what these other sleuths are up to today ;)
*
sew.darn.quilt me :)
*
Finally, another HUGE THANK YOU to Madame Samm
and our PHENOMENAL cheerleader,
CAROL!
What a team you make ladies.

It Eludes Me...
*
.jpg)
*
For the last few weeks now, I've found that my motivation has gone on vacation.
It is taking all that I can pull out of me to finish the simplest of projects.
*
*
I just can't seem to locate "IT"! no matter where I look.
Perhaps it is the season. Perhaps it's just me.
*
*
This is the first time in days that I've even looked at blogger.
Instead of being pumped about starting new projects that I'm committed to for the month,
I have a cloud of grey daunting over me and now I'm stressing about the sewing I need
to complete for up coming hop, PIF, swap, giveaway and BOM ( x 3).
*
I think I need to throw the anchor overboard, regroup and reshuffle priorities.
For the moment though I guess I'd best get nose to the grindstone.
*
Thanks for the ear.
*
