Blowing in the Wind

Today has been very cold and 

very windy.

The good thing is that it kept me home

and blew me right up to my studio

and I actually spent the day sewing.

I continue to work on UFO's that

seem to multiply rather than diminish.

I did manage to clear a couple of things off

my list.

 

"All from my stash"  Ta-Dah!

I finished a quilt for Project Linus.

It's a great pattern from Quiltville.

Check it out if your looking for a quick and easy 

quilt to make.

Also finished about 15

Sweet Zips designed by

Terry Atkinson.

I had bought a few Hawaiian fat quarters on

my recent trip and decided 

to actually do something with them.

So I made these adorable and easy little bags.

The perfect size for a little gift.

I haven't' put a zip in for a long time, but

this was fast and straightforward.

Couldn't have been easier.

Even though the wind continues to blow

and I'm wearing 2 sweatshirts 

and have my little floor heater humming,

I've accomplished a bunch.

That's a good thing!

Hope your Monday was as productive. 

Until Next Time-

Pie is the traditional dessert for Thanksgiving.  

Everyone has their favorites and traditions.

Pie is relatively easy and inexpensive to make.

Most can be made a day or two ahead.

Remember, I said easy, not neat.

No matter what you have eaten for your 

Thanksgiving meal there is always

room for a sliver of pie.

I read that the top 3 pies for Thanksgiving are:

Apple pie

Chocolate

and Pumpkin

Well, I made 2 of the three.

Pie is humble.

Pie is nostalgia.

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

We were apart yet, through the wonder of skype

we were together.

Until Next Time-

Happy 26th!

Happy Birthday!

Kate and Jessica 
Today is your day!

Do you remember this party?

It was your 5th birthday, 1989.
You wanted a Minnie Mouse Party.
You played "Pin the Bow on Minnie".

Didn't we make a great cake?

You both got to blow out candles,
but it was the same cake.
Sorry, sometimes twins have to share.

Smile, Kate.


Enjoy your special day.
Even though the two of you are apart,
your hearts will always be one.

Until Next Time-Kyle
