Some one stole frosty's NOSE!~!

I took my favorite frosty out of the attic yesterday! and just look at him!~! OH NO!~! His nose is missing! I looked every where in the attic and no nose?? What do you suppose happened to him?? Leave me a comment on your thoughts and on Dec 13th I will pick the best answer and send you a quilting Christmas gift.

(update!~! I am working today on my special give away! Here is a peek!)

Thanks~ Giving

I have the sweetest daughter in law! See what she brought over??

We were so stuffed after dinner and everyone had to go take a nap!

Dakota put her stamp of approval on the whole dinner and she too had to take a "time out"

Then we got all our Christmas stuff down from the attic to take inventory: WHAT A MESS!!

Thanks Giving Day pies

Today I woke up and decided I was gonna make a pecan pie. I never have made one. I asked Dakota what she thought and she ended up having a hysterical laughing fit.

So, Not to let her discourage me. I made one anyways! I took it out of the oven and she said: "G mom it smells yummy!"










Here is a picture of my Thanks giving day pies.











Happy Thanks ~ Giving Day Everyone!~!

Just got home from work and guess what that brown truck guy delivered to my door?? You got it!~! The futura singer embroidery machine! At first my hubby was going to make me wait until Christmas to open it, I suppose after the "LOOK" I gave him, he had second thoughts.

I unpacked everything. Sure enough everything was all in the box! I am just ecstatic! I am so beside myself! I am staying up reading the manual and looking everything over. Sleep is over rated anyway.

I just need to figure which computer to load all the software on. Do I really want to take another machine to the basement? That's where my husqvarna had her accident. OR do I want to clog my hubbies computer up with embroidery fonts? HMMMMMM what a dilemma!

NEWS FLASH!~! The brown truck guys updated their website and my new toy is now in transit. It is in MAUMEE OH US ! The BAD news is that the ups site says scheduled delivery is set for tomorrow.
I work 12 hours!~! waaaaaaaaaaaahhhh I won't get to play w/ my machine.
Then on Wednesday I work again.
Thanksgiving dinner is here on Thursday so we all know that's not an available play day, unless I have dinner at 9am, clean the kitchen back up and free up the afternoon (SMIRK)
Friday is scheduled "Get the Christmas stuff out of the attic day"
Then Friday nite we are going to cut down a tree. What a busy week!

OK news flash!~!
2 more people have written reviews. One was bad BUT one was good!~!
Maybe the cd's were missed by the other three people?? This is gonna drive me absolutely batty until I see that brown truck guy pull up and give me MY box.
Where o where is my little brown truck guy??
Here is the review:
CHECK BOTH BOXES / Dan, CA 11/23/2008 I found that the box that held the machine was placed inside of another box so make sure you take them apart. I found all of my software in the outside box.
Now here is the website with MY machine:

New sewing machine

A few days ago I made a major purchase. After kicking around the idea for a whole ten minuets, I clicked the "commit to buy" button. Earlier in the year my husqvarna bit the dust. I was cleaning my sewing room, which was in the basement at that time and I had my machine sitting on the stairs. Well, needless to say it fell off! No one is really to blame but me. I sat it there in the first place. After whining all year because I didn't have the money for repairs (400) I saw this machine on HSN.COM. I can make monthly payments and I would have a simple embroidery machine! I have been desperately needing it for quilt labels. I want to make baby quilts for our church and embroider Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

I miss embroidering! I love thread and the sound of the machine humming along. The expected shipping date is 11/29/2008. I wish I would have had the extra 60 dollars to have express ship done. I would playing today! I will post pictures of my finished projects to be sure!

I was in my sewing room, sewing Christmas pineapple blossom blocks when I noticed how shabby my ironing board was. Why haven't I made a new cover? It is not like I don't have the fabric or batting to do so?? Why did I make a new seat cover for my stool but not a matching cover?? I am miss "match everything", miss "match coordinator" miss "designer ~wanna be"!
So I got the same retro fabric out that I used for my stool and went at it. I put new heavy thick batting down, trimmed it and then over cut the fabric by 5 inches all the way around my ironing board. A simple 1 inch turn, a few zigzag stitches and some ribbon on a roll. I have a coordinating ensamble! I am patting myself on the back about this one!~! ROFL I didn't name myself mamacrafty for nothing.................
