Jan 29th 2012

Dec 24 found me being zapped by 33 virus at once. due to slow server and even slower protecter down loads.. I lost my main computer.. so I'm currently using my Hubbys laptop.. I've been busy with making mug matt quilts, and a Spring lap quilt, just have to add boarder then i'm finished. Can't share pics with you because laptop won't let me download printer or cameria.. so until I replace my big computer,, I'll just visit and let you know what I'm doing.. so for now happy crafting I've gone to work on a new mug matt.. tootles.. TC

and the count down begins

yep 5 more days,,,lol my son is counting the days to attack the gifts. he's going to be so surprised with Santas gifts... shhhhhh I'm not telling,, but it has been something he asked for sense last year and they sold out last year.. so when i saw them this year i snatched one up. he only asked for small things this year so this will be a great surprise.

as for me well all my gist making is totally done. I've been working on patterns for next years projects,, one is a sweet mini block for newly weds. and the other is a pentagram block for a dear dear friend. and of course a Family name quilt for us of everyone on our side of the family,,, you know like Kids and Grandkids. something for me in my old age to remember who is who....lol I so enjoy quilting.

have a wonderful Christmas,, I'll try and pop back before the new year so keep crafting and I'll see you soon.. TC

morning Buzz

was cyber looking at this designers web site at Me & My Stitches , , , Julie Letvin,, she makes mini quilt designs from paper into jewelry.. the detail is so sweet,, she has a blog too in th Jan/Fed issue of Love of Quilting by Fon's & Porter's on page 38-39 she has the sweetest pincushion of the pineapple punch.. 3 1/2 square in size,, just too cute, just think she can do this even smaller into jewelry.. how cool is that..

After seeing that makes me want to try doing quilt blocks smaller in cloth.. now be interesting,, for sure.

a few changes

you may have noticed a few changes taking place.. just thought things needed brightening up. just a little warning my crafting ideas have taken a turn to making quilted items. so far I'm making Gift card/coasters to use as a double gift at christmas. and i'm going to try my hand at mug rug coasters, which is a double coaster to fit your mug or glass and a place to set your morning bagel or afternoon snack.. like the idea may have to add to the idea with an encert to support things if you carry them.... oh i'll still work on my dolls,, but mini quilted stuff is fun too.. so check back soon as i share some goodies and ideas.. Happy Crafting

Happy Easter
