We have a start :)

-
I have been working my little fingers to the bone! Well not really. In reality I have had an adult beverage at hand and a heck a lot of chocolate! It has als helped that WH was out of town for a week leaving me with plenty of free time after Little A was in bed. YAY for free time!

Each flimsy ( heheh I just love that word! Thank you Randi!) I was actually able to personalise to each person. Shocking that I had the fabric to do that huh.Lol The first one is for a John Wayne fan..


I ordered the pictures off of EBAY and only had to purchase 1 yard of fabric for this!
This is for a Mouse lover. I had to purchase 1/2 yd for this one.
Recognize the blocks? Did not have to buy a single piece for this flimsy!
Bel is back on the job as quilt inspector. This one is all about the tea pots and tea cups. I had to purchase 1/2 yd for this one.

I am having SO MUCH fun with this challenge. I feel such a sense of accomplishment as I finish each one. The best part is that each person that receives them will see that they are made just for them. AND at the end of all this I will have a cleaner quilt studio! Its a win win!

Have you challenged yourself this year? I would love to hear about it.

I did today. Then just as I was about to scream I found this. It has ALWAYS made me laugh.I had forgotten I had it though.So today it was just like a present.Ü Oldest daughter has been confined to the house with what her doctor tells us is a very contagious viral infection. Personally I think her doctor is smoking some funny stuff. Her blood tests were normal and she has been battling bad tonsils for a month.Hmmmm. I dont think it takes rocket science when that is ALL she went in there for but evidently it does. More tests have been ordered and she is confined until monday. Can you say lets drive mom crazy? Then I found out a king size ALL feathered quilt that I mailed to a friend as a belated (like 20 years late)wedding, anniversary,housewarming(twice),congratulations on your 4 kids, yeah dont hate me because I am a horrible friend quilt NEVER showed up in the mail! I cannot find (big shocker there huh)the tracking slip. I did have it at one time in my hot little hands. So I know it w...

I bet yall thought I had forgotten to do a giveaway for my second blogaversary! I almost did I will be honest. Thankfully I remembered before the end of Feb!.....I also have some help Ü. A week or so back I got an email from Jamie who is part of the CSN promotion team asking if I would like to give away a gift to one lucky reader!!! WELL YA! I jumped on it. I had so much fun picking out a gift to give. They have some wonderful products. It took me almost a whole week to comb through their stores to find just the right gift! They have 200+ stores! I am thinking this may pose a threat to our bank account in the future, atleast once we get this house done! So grab a barstool and browse through their stores when you get a chance! So if you would like to win a set of these beautiful Certified International Bubble Amber All Purpose (Set of 4) glasses PLUS a goodie bag from me just keep reading Ü. To enter please leave me a comment on what kind of party would you use these for? I see these...
