I guess I didn't realize how long it had been since I had last posted because questions were being raised as to "where are you and what have you been up to?" It actually kinda makes me feel all warm and tingly that there's people out there that notice when I go absent!
Remember the question I posed recently about making a baby blanket for my husband's cousin in the Pure or the Lollipop? Well, everyone picked Lollipop making it pretty unanimous, so I bought 2 charm packs, sewed them into 9 patches and then proceeded to cut them all up to make a disappearing 9 patch out of them.....not
lovin' it. Not to mention the
hus-beast doesn't think that his country cousin will like the Lollipop....."They're more John Deere sorta people,
hunny." Great. Time to regroup.
Went to Hobby Lobby Friday and bought the most child friendly John Deere looking fabric I could find and some navy solid for the backing. Sewed the
stinkin' thing Friday night, finished the blanket stitch on the yellow binding last night, and need to make a label with a tractor on it to slap on the back by Friday when we wrap it up and take it to his cousin's house for her to open at the baby shower on Saturday. I can't go because I'm going to a craft festival in Rogers, Arkansas with a friend that was planned months ago.
News on the babysitter front: I (thankfully) found one for Poo Poo Friday evening. She was the last one on the list to interview, so it's great that she passed the Poo Poo test :) She was the only one we interviewed who actually got down on the floor and played with him...or even acknowledged him for that matter! It's getting harder and harder to leave him in the morning and go to work though. Until I can stay home with him, at least he's with a great caregiver!
With all this hullabaloo
goin' on, I haven't even had a change to work on my Christmas log cabin! I've decided that I am anti-UFO. I am not a half-finish, then-work-on-something-else kinda girl. Chalk it up to me being anal, I'm sure! Maybe I can work on the
loggious cabinous on Sunday! I NEED this quilt to be finished! It bothers me! :)
I just had to share this with ya'll! The girls and I dressed up like the 3 Little Pigs for Halloween!
Another pretty stained glass piece. Can you tell I'm lovin the stained glass?!
I bought this stunning little winter tree kit! I can't wait to work on this.......along with all the other projects!
I also bought the panel of the Tale of Two Kitties! Who knows what I'll do with that, but somethings you just "have" to have!!!
So, really, a good time was had by all! After the quilt show, we took MY Hunter to Bass Pro in Broken Arrow to have his picture taken. Look how stinkin cute he is!
Everytime I look at this picture of my dad and Hunter, I just crack up. Something about the serious expressions on both of their faces just does me in!
