Covered Altoid Tin

I completed my first Altoid Tin and I'm ready to do more..It was alot of fun and great experience.. I took a picture of the inside but it came out blurred..I'll try again later..

Novice Sumptuous Start - RR - Naked Block

Well, here is the beginning, my naked block for my first ever RR - yeah!!

Build a Seam Week 13

I'm learning how to "Crazy Quilt"...I love hand embroidery and the fun this is bringing to me is fantastic....On this particular group I am on, they have a new stitch every week for each member to create something different..Well, I'm a newbie so just learning the stitch plus adding a bit of me into it has been a great experience..
Week 13 is the Herringbone Mirrored..
I used #5 DMC for the herringbone stitch, then I looped it using regular 6 ply floss adding a pearl between each stitch..I know it's not much but it's a start!!

Introducing "Noel"

Noel is our new little kitty...She was born November 5th and came to our home Christmas Day..She's an interesting color for sure but I'm kind of a person who loves unique and interesting things..She's a piece of art ...Noel is into everything and I mean everything, yet she's as sweet as she could be. She's eating wonderfully and using her kitty box perfectly - no accidents since arriving home thank goodness. We, meaning Lee and myself, are already in love with this baby and she is fitting in as though she's been here forever.

Totes For Christmas

I made the two totes..One is a simple patchwork with lining and the other is from a pair of recycled jeans..I think they came out pretty good!

Another gift

A Travel Sewing Kit and a Tissue Holder to match..

What an honor to be given this award. A very sweet, creative Nettie gifted me with this "treasure" and I can't even begin to tell you how it makes me feel..I'm flying high with full of smiles..

Now, I'm to pass it on to 8 blogs and trust me, I know so many wonderful caring creative people that it will be a difficult journey to choose. The following is a text which accompanies the award on each blog, needing to be passed on.

"These blogs invest and believe in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers, who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

Now, I will be thinking about this for the next day or two and making my selection soon..Thank you again Nettie for bestowing such an honor..
