Starting something new!
I keep telling myself I need to finish up some of my UFO's that are lying around. They aren't really just lying around, they are safely hidden from view in a draw stack in the sewing room. I need to do this but yet, I started a new project yesterday. I was in Sharynn's last week and she was putting together a kit called Funny Farm. It was so cute I just had to get one. Here is a link to the website that has the pattern.
www.clothworkstextiles.com
The kit uses the Funny Farm collection of fabric. There is a special little guy that I know that will be receiving the finished quilt. I won't mention any names here because I want it to be a surprise for him and I think his Mom might just check out my blog from time to time.
What little boy or girl wouldn't love this quilt?
Hope you are having a great day!

What I have been working on!
I started a new job 3 weeks ago that has kept me pretty busy lately. I like the new job so far especially the fact that I am off every weekend and all the holidays. Add to that the fact that I am now working a day shift job, what more could I ask for!
Between work, housework, etc. I have been working on a couple of things. The main one being a challenge quilt. A challenge for a retreat in September that I am not going to be able to go to. I will miss all my dear friends at the retreat this year. Maybe next year things will be better. Who knows!
The challenge for September was called Dots and Dashes. We are to make a quilt that is constructed of at least 50% of dotted and striped fabric. I still have the borders to add but will need to go to my LQS for something appropriate. Don't stare at it too long or you might go blind! lol It is rather bright! I like it and it will make a great Christmas gift in December.
Do you still have your eyesight? lol
You still have time to get over to Joanne's blog and leave her a comment on her stimulus package! Go now before it is too late!

Don't forget the giveaway!!!
Make sure you leave a comment about the giveaway to be entered. There are other ways to get extra entries so be sure to check out the previous post.
I have been lucky enough to win 2, yes 2, blog giveaways in the last week. The first was a great little mug mat from Barb over at So How Was Your Day?. Thanks so much Barb! It arrived on Saturday! Be sure and check out Barb's blog. I am sure you will find some interesting things there!
The second win I had was from Pat Sloan's blog. I haven't received the prize yet so I don't know what it is. I will be sure and let you know when it arrives and what it is. I am sure it will be a great surprise.
Last Wednesday I was off work so I joined my Mom at Sharynn's in North Vernon. Sharynn's is a fun place to go when you are fabric shopping. That isn't why we went but is what we ended up doing. lol Mom had a class on her new Janome 11000 so I went with her. When we got done we did a little fabric shopping. More like Mom did some fabric shopping. Sharynn's had just got in some Fresh Picked Follies fabrics. The panels were too cute to pass up! I got 2 panels. For those that haven't seen them before, here is a picture. So cute!!!!
Now I just need to figure out what to do with the ladies!
Hope you had a great Monday and are looking forward to Tuesday!

I have been trying really hard to be on a fabric diet this year. I haven't done very well though. I keep putting on pounds instead of taking off. lol
Today was no exception! The weather has been bad here all day today but I had to go to town to get my hair trimmed. It was needed so badly I couldn't put it off just because of a few inches of snow. Of course, while I was in town I felt the urge to stop at Sharynn's, one of my favorite quilt shops. The main reason I went into Sharynns is because they have been saving me their empty bolt boards and I hadn't been in to pick them up lately. While I was there though, Rose had to show me some new things they had gotten in.
This panel was one of the new things they had gotten and I just had to have one. Isn't it so cute! They had the fabric line to go with it but I managed to contain myself there. Just barely though! lol
I also purchased a one pound bag of worms. It was the last one they had. I had gotten a couple of bags before at Christmas for gifts. If you don't know what worms are they are 2 1/2" x WOF strips. How many worms are in a pound? That was what I asked the first time I bought a bag. I was quite surprised that there were 50 in a pound. Well worth the $10 I paid for them.
Rose and Hope work at Sharynns and they just had to show me what they had Sharynn special order for them. I can't tell you what it was but I ordered one for my Mom's birthday gift. I think she is going to love it! Her birthday is in April so I will probably end of giving it to her as soon as it comes in.
We got quite a bit of snow last week and today we are being hit again. I AM SICK OF SNOW!!! I was looking at a friend of mines blog the other day. She had pictures of her kids playing in the snow. I had to post a comment on her blog about it. Remember when we were young and couldn't wait for a big snow. Couldn't wait to go play in it! Snow days from school! Now we cringe when the weather forecasters are telling us snow is even headed our way. I guess you can tell we have grown up! When did that happen? lol
