Check out Blackbird Design's posting...
As many of you know...I love Blackbird Design's. Those ladies are amazing!
I know what you're thinking...
I know what you're thinking...and no I'm not a shop-alcoholic. It just looks that way...work has been really, really busy. I haven't had time to create much; as a result, I haven't been able to post much either!
PaperTrey Ink stuff was received at least three weeks ago...and I haven't even used them, yet. How sad is that situation!? :-) The Paper Bouquet book and tools were purchased this week. My Oregonian peep has created some great looking paper flowers to add to her cards....so, of course, I needed to try out the flowers, too.
Hopefully, life will get back on track...and I'll have time to create some things, or sew, or cross-stitch....anything...and I'll feel normal again!
Tomorrow, I'm planning on a post; please check back for something fun!
See ya!

Check out the color....
And the oddest thing happened...I got home and this nail polish was in my bag. It's Abigail's OPI nail polish...I think she put it in my bag. What the heck! I'm going to sent it back...but I did use it on my toes first. :-) Check out the color...isn't it B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! It's super cute on my toes, too!! Thanks Abigail...XOXOX!
RoadTrip to Iowa...
Recently, hubby and I had a road trip to Iowa to visit his daughter and son-in-law. We had a really nice time with them! Abigail took me to a quilt shop, so I was happy! Here are some of the things I purchased. We, also, went to Michaels Craft Store. OMG, they had some great deals. Would love to show them to you, however, I've put them with all my other papers....and not digging them out...right now anyway! :-)

| Really cute purse pattern! |

| Even cuter fat quarters! |
Something while we were out...
Hubby and I went out for day; I was able to stop by Archiver's while we were out running around. Here's what I got:
I'm going to sent some of the paper selection to my Oregon peep; oh and some of the keys, too. And don't worry Hubby got to stop by Cabela's... :-)

“To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.” (Brandi Snyder)
6 years ago....I said, "I do" to my world.
Happy Anniversary! I love you, babe.
I'm here...
I'm here...just busy with life. No time for fun, lately...although today I was able to get together with the girls, but I don't have anything to show. However, we did cut several squares for the BowTie quilt. Since we are doing the quilt as a group, each of us will need one set...and there's four of us.
1.25" squares = 32 x 4 kits = 128
2.0" squares = 66 x 4 kits = 264
3.5" squares = 34 x 4 kits = 136
Any we aren't done cutting, yet. I'm not sure what we were thinking when it was decided to cut 1.25" squares. Y-I-K-E-S!!

Anyho, I hope to have something more to show in the next couple of days. So until then...

Progress Report...
Here's my progress on the Small Steps quilt pattern which can be found in American Patchwork & Quilting (December 2010).
The strips are 1 inch...yes, that's what I said...1 inch. The verdict is still out on whether I'm crazy for wanting to sew this quilt. Within the next few days, I'm going to sew one block to see how painful this quilt might be. I'll get back to you when I do...

Yesterday was soooo much fun...
Yesterday was sooo much fun; I had a blast! We visited 4 quilt shops: Blue Bamboo (Plymouth), Four Seasons (Maple Grove), SR Harris Fabric Outlet (Brooklyn Park) and Millie P's (Anoka)
Each store had a lot of beautiful quilt displayed; there was so much inspiration! I know that I've created more work for myself with these purchases, but I love my hobbies!
Anyho, here's what I got:

this weekend...
this weekend hubby and i traveled to hackensack, mn to visit his nephew, who is on two week leave from the navy. awesome to see him!
but as we traveled north, we did a little shopping. hubby got two pairs of jeans and two pairs of winter boots...not really that fun for him. i, on the other hand, got something really fun. look what i got. i've knitted a pair of socks before but not with two circular needles...so it might be a challenge for me. oh well, i can't wait to start...
