Today I tweaked my blogspot and changed the template. I cleaned my quilty room (nothing new there) ROFL.
I made lists of things I need to do. Notice my new Christmas tree counter? Gee I can't believe how many days are left until Christmas!~! I need to get ready!

2008 Stocking swap for quiltchat.com

Here is the stocking I am going to send this year. I made it using selvedges. I also made my swapper an ornament. I am going to add to...... and from mamacrafty in pigma pen after I took this picture. Now to start stuffing it with goodies I have been collecting! What do you think of it??

Another Sew Saturday

This past week, my clerk (even though I think it should be secretary..rofl but that in itself is a long and whole other story) asked me to make her baby a 1st b~day outfit. She had some fabric that she had bought and some notions. This is what I whipped up. I sure do hope the measurements are right. I plan to make head band too out of the fabric, flowers and purple ribbon.

Then I picked up my UFO Calico gardens. I worked last night at it and got 10 more squares prepped and ready to take along on the go. I should have this done soon.

OK family here it is! The dreaded school photo! Jesse is in the nineth grade!

He didn't know that you get your pictures done when you register....ahhh High School! (ps double click on the photos and they enlarge...notice the nice alphalpha thingie going on??) ROFL

Bag 4 a friend

My friend at work (Bless her heart) can't sew a button on, so I knew at that moment I needed to make her one too!~!

Selvadge/ selvedge humbug bag for me!~!

Before church today I decided to make myself a humbug bag using the selvadges

(I think it should be selvedge but spell check keeps correcting it)

Anyway! Here is the result:

I am just tickled to death! I love my new bag and can't wait to use it at work! Next I think I am going to make myself a make-up bag! How cool........then maybe a purse.......O my gosh!~! I need more slevedge fabric!

My selvadge wallet !~!

Is this considered The last post of the night or the first post of the day?? Since it is after midnight here.

I sewed my selvages together and came up with a nifty wallet. I think I might add embellishments to the front (buttons, yo-yo maybe a ribbon flower or two??).

What do you think of my new wallet?? Of course it is a first attempt and I am sure I will get better with each one. I learned several things and made a few mistakes, but that's OK cause it's mine.

Busy Day!~!

Today the guys went to the University of Michigan game again, so I had the whole day to myself. I needed to sew myslef some new UGLY blue scrubs. This is the official color that RN's HAVE to wear. Being a colorful person I love wearing greens, pinks, yellows and purples BUT now we can only wear one color.....BLUE ewwwwww!~!

Then I decided to make meeeee something. I love pincushions so I decided to use my selvedge fabric and make me one. One day I plan to do a whole quilt in just selvedges but I still keep collecting....and collecting!

Then I decided it was time to take inventory of my crafty room. I stood back and couldn't believe it! YIKES!~!~! It was a mess again! Guess I will clean it on Monday.

Humbug Bags

Been busy making some bags for the girls at work. Ink pens, pen lights and lip gloss fit perfectly. They hang really cuteily (LOL) on the IV pole at the med cart. I sold ALL of them the first day I took them in!~!~WOW

My new tote

I was in a stocking swap Christmas 2006. The person who had me (Dr. Beth) sent me some nursing fabric. She knew I was a RN. I couldn't cut into the fabric until today! It was so cute! I was saving it for just the right project. I cut out only one nurse...rofl

I needed a new tote for work as I started a new job. What do you think of my new tote? It is quilted and lined. I made log cabin blocks on the front and back. It is big enough to hold my bible, lunch, quilty project and a quilt magazine.
