One Flower Wednesday

Another flower bloomed this week in my garden...it's been over 60 degrees the past couple of days in northern Illinois.  I thought March was suppose to come in like a lion and out like a lamb.....

I've started a new BOM, been working on 'chili art' and almost have a quilt done...pictures next week.

Stop by One Flower Wednesday and see what else is blooming.

Christmas Through the Year

I finished a few items for Christmas:

Two crochet Angels

and a cute triangle container
(tutorial from Val)

I did make a few more bookmarks but they've already found homes.  How do you manage to put away these gifts so they'll still be around by December??? 

Two Flower, Two Siggy Wednesday

Two Flowers - I met my goal for the week.....I'll aim for THREE flowers next week! 



 I enjoy sewing hexies and I find it very relaxing, so RELAXING that my daughter has had to take my needle, thread and hexie out of my hands because I have fallen asleep.  Please stop by Karen's One Flower Wednesday and take a look at the beautiful gardens; so many fabulous flowers to view.

Two beautiful siggies this week!  I really enjoy getting these little treasures in the mail.

Thank you Cindy and Mia for the wonderful siggies!

One Flower Wednesday and Siggy Mail

I've received three beautiful siggies this week.  Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!

Have a GREAT Week !

Late Bloomer

My daughter asked me to go to a book signing last night and I really enjoyed it.  The authors (Young Adult)were really interesting speakers.  We got home late and my hexie was still missing a few petals...She said 'Mom it will just be a late bloomer, you can post it tomorrow. So, here it is.....

Visit Karen at One Flower Wednesday to see how everyone's garden is growing or stop at my daughter's blog  Call Me Crazy and take a look at the header she made yesterday.

Have a great week!

Wool Candle Mats

I joined a wool candle mat of the month (June 2011 - May 2012)and finished June and July's by August

I started working on September's - Acorn candle mat after Christmas and finished that one today. 

The December - Poinsettia candle mat was started in January and finished just one day ago. 






 I still have Aug, Oct and Nov to stitch - I just found August's last week!  I'm really good at starting projects but as you can tell I don't stick with them.  Thanks to Sew It's Finished I'm going to FINISH some of these shelved projects!
