The Day After

The day after Valentines and I have things to show you

first

My 16 year old daughter is an amazing cake decorater

and she made these cute sweet tart cupcakes for V day

oh and her joke on the forever single

I am happily Married

Second

I started working on this pink quilt, first I made the blocks

12" but they were so big it looked like I was in a hurry

to get the job done so I shrunk them to 8" and they are much better

and remember I am still sewing on my kitchen table yuk

I cut the strips in lights and darkes

I am using the black in the irish chain to pull it all together

with

This demask from Adornit

I think this would look good in teals as well

just not enough time

and Third

the grand children in our lives, they are so special

and we love them more than they will ever know

Davey had Valentine pictures took with her mom and a few

of just her

look at those bare feet, they are so small and the smile.  The whole family can not believe she posed so well for the pictures, usually she is all over the place being silly

And then there is this little guy, no pink for him he is ready

 for St Patricks day

Mr Sugar surprised me with flowers, he really is a great guy, I told him no jewlery this year as our money is going to the flood in the basement, you know how it goes.  Since we are replaceing things any way lets do something more expencive that insurance won't pay for,ya like that

The painters are here tomorrow and say they will be done friday

right

carpet and hardwood comes  next week and with a little luck I can show you some finshed stuff in a couple weeks

right

if not I will shoot some photo's as we go along

Hope Your week is good



Busy Time

Boy here it is february

time flys when your busy

and right after Christmas there is so

much to do, all the christmas has to come down at the

shop and new samples have to be made

and put up

I have been working on so many things

I started and finished this

I made it as a table runner but it did'nt turn out to be

my favorite, so I added a

pocket so it can be a

couch caddie or bed caddie

or just us it as a table runner

It sure is a cute line of fabric

just not for a table runner in my house, red and carmel walls

but Davey's bedroom that work great



It's a New Semester

January in Canada brings a lot of things

usually cold (not much knock on wood)

a little more sunlight

and a new semester for my high schooler

For the last two year she has been using a hand me down

bag from her sister, that was from Old Navy

that fabric was cool

but we washed it after Christmas

and the handle fell right apart and the bag is not far behind

You can see the tiniest of holes starting in the bag body

so Monday night we took that old bag

layed it out for a pattern

cut out the fabric

sewed it back together and this is what she has

She really likes asian themed fabric

we found these in our travels

and she loves them

I put this project off for 30 days, saying I didn't have a

pattern

but in the end it took me less than an hour with no clue what I was doing and wa la, oh and it is reversable

she is happy

You know it was one of those things like sewing on a

button, you put it off for so long and then when you

get around to sewing it on, you say to yourself, that wasn't so bad
