Since my mom has been making these monkeys, I had a special request that I wanted.  And boy, did she deliver.  I think this is my favorite cartoon character TO A TEE!  What do you think?

Thanks Mom!  I love her!

A Trade

What happens when you accidentally spill a bunch of this…

Onto this?

You scream out from the bedroom “Babe!  I need help!”  That’s what happened earlier today.  My DH calmly walks into the bedroom and sees what happened.  Meanwhile, I’m not-so-calmly trying to dab it up with toilet paper.  (If this ever happens to you, remember that trying [...]

Finished WIPs

I recently tried something new, and I LOVED it.  I can’t show you what I made because the person it’s for doesn’t know it’s for them, and they haven’t received it yet.  But you can see a hint…

I’ll show you the finished project as soon as it’s safe.

She [...]

The tops were made from vintage handkerchiefs, then I pieced the borders.  This is for a friend that lives in New Hampshire.

I really like the back of the pillow.  This fabric is so bright [...]

Spellcheck Needs to Get With the Times

Posted in Everything Else on May 22, 2009 | 7 Comments »

I feel so out of practice with blogging.  It’s amazing what a couple weeks off will do.  I feel like I don’t know how to write anymore, than I can barely put a sentence together.  And as it happened, I also ended up with all these random pictures that don’t really mean much, but I feel like I [...]

Well I finally made it #200. When I posted the giveaway back around post 192, I thought I’d be to 200 by the first week of May. That didn’t make it by a long shot, but now it’s here! It’s a little anti-climatic, I must say. But, I do have 2 winners! I had 60 [...]

*This is post #199.  Get your giveaway entries in while you can.*
I picked up these cookbooks at an estate sale recently.  Can you believe they wrote the prices right on the cover?!  I was so shocked.  But I still got them because I thought they were cute…

Rustiness

Holy Smokes, have I been busy!  Wow!  I’ll be honest, last week was a terrible week.  But this week is looking much better.   Things are slowly but surely calming down around here.  I’m hoping to get back to regular posting.  I have scads of things I never got around to writing about, so hopefully [...]
