WIP

So I mentioned awhile back that I was taking a quilting class.  My mother taught me to sew when I was 10.  I quickly starting making my clothes (it was that or hand me downs as I was one of 7).  There were always plenty of sewing machines around and my mother never denied me(that [...]

Headbands

My sweet daughter picked out these fabrics at our favorite quilt shop and asked that I make her some reversible headbands. 

I loved her selection and I was happy to set my other (long list) or projects aside so that I could do this.

So here are the first two:

I used a tutorial I found online at [...]

I was tagged! For the very first time!!

I was tagged for the first time and I am quite willing to play along.  Thanks Cookie for tagging me.  Here are the questions that I was asked to answer.
Name four jobs I have had ~
1. Counting money at the L.A. Coliseum for all the Raiders(back when they were in L.A.) and USC football games.

Sunday Tea Time!

So it is a pretty dreary day here in usually sunny SoCal, but A was able to snap this picture yesterday while the sun was shinning

One of the great things about living where we do is that we are less than an hour from the snow in the winter and a little over an hour [...]

Show & Tell Friday

I decided to participate in ~Show & Tell Friday~

I collect all things “TEA”, but until today did not have any tea tins.  My dear friend Donna (check out her great vintage shop on eBay ~The Grove Vintage~) gave me this great tea tin this morning.  Thanks Donna, I love it!
 

It is a great addition to [...]

The world at my fingertips!

So here is today’s project. Something that I had promised to make A before Christmas.

I purchased it as a panel at my local quilt store.

And it slowly came together today as a pillow of the world.

It goes along nicely with the travel theme in her room. She is my little world traveler. 

Here is where I [...]

My First Tutorial & So Much More!

Where have you been?

Again, another long absence!  I have been sick!  I know, excuses, excuses, but it is true, and not only have I been sick but so has every other member of the house.  So now I am better, but I am playing nursemaid.  I am dying to get back to my crafting, so many projects, so [...]

We apologize for the interruption. . . .

Sorry that I have been absent, it was not my fault.  I have had major connectivity problems.  My internet has been down since before Christmas, but now I am back. The people as Verizon (I use a Broadband Card) have been wonderful and it was not their fault.  In many ways it was just a comedy [...]
