CRAZY

The last few days have been very crazy. DH went to the ER on Monday morning and ended up being admitted. Gastrointestinal thing. Not much fun for him. He was a trooper. God bless daughters. They don't mind sitting in Er's or driving back and forth to hospitals. He came home today (thanks DD#1). Hopefully he'll be his old ornery self in notime.LOL

lunch bag done


 Since I have to go back to work on Monday after 6 weeks off I decided to go back in style, This is my new lunch bag. I really love the drawstring top. It makes it so easy to get into



this is the mug rug I made to use at work. I think I am totally addicted to making these. They are so quick and fun. I also love the fact that I have fabric around me even when I can't sew. I call it fabric therapy.
and of course I just had to make snack bags to go with  my lunch bag.These are all from the Lunch Bag Book. They even have a pattern for a crocheted apple wrap so that your apple doesn't get bruised in your lunch bag. Too cute.

This is my new bow tucks purse. Yeah I know its a little loud but I'm really tired of winter for some reason this year and I wanted something bright and funky. Hubby said he would still be seen in public with me just to not ask him to hold it.



this is the inside . I just love all of the room and all of the pockets. Since I was the only one who would see it I practiced my FMQ in the inside.




and of course I had to make a wallet to go with it.


Well off to finish DGD quilt. Almost done the quilting.

Progress Progress Progress

Well I have made a lot of progress cleaning up my ufo's. Here are some pics.
this is a fall wallhanging that I did.I had enough fabric left over to make a runner too

this one is a wallhanging for my mom. She wanted one for Christmas to replace the quilt I made her
I also made her a wool candle mat to go with it
 The last project was a valentines wallhanging for myself. I made it using my Accuquilt Go cutter. I really love that little machine.


I also finished a queen sized quilt top for my DD#2. Just need to quilt it. But first I have to finish the quilt I am quilting for my DGD.I'll post pictures when it's done. I also have been making mug rugs. Those things are soooo addictive. I signed up for two different swaps. I just mailed out my first set. The other swap hasn't started yet.Tomorrow I am making a bow tucks bag, my new lunch bag and a sandwich wrap and snack bags. I have been off from work for 6 weeks due to surgery and if I have to go back next week then I'm going back in style.LOL:)

Finished

Well I managed to finish my round robin quilt yesterday. Here are the pics. I also finished the pot holders but DD#2 took them before I could take pics. She said she would send me pics after dinner. Still waiting. I guess the kid,husband,dog ,cats ,laundry,dishes or whatever else got in the way. That's ok I forgive her. I'll post as soon as I get them.


I would also like to introduce the two newest members of our family. Sparky the dark one is a 7 yr old male and Cruise the buff colored on is also a 7 yr old male. They have always been together so when they came up for adoption We just had to keep them together. Besides , cats are like potato chips you can't just have one.
