I'm a Big Boy Now!!!!

Well my son turns "6" this coming week and so we did his room makeover this weekend.  The first picture is the before picture with his toddler bed and car theme.  The easy to take down border paper was a lie....I've sworn myself to be border free for the rest of my life.   

Here is his Big Boy Bedroom

It feels so good to have the room painted and done - but the true success will be if he stays in his own bed all night long!!!!  Happy Birthday Ryan!!!

Very Expensive Scrappy Quilt

I finally finished this scrappy quilt that I have been working on with some friends.  I got it all clipped this weekend and was excited to get it washed and dryed to see what the frayed edges looked like.  My advice would be to do this via the laundry mat.  I didn't and am now the proud owner of a new front load washing machine.  I guess the quilt was too heavy for my 15 year washing machine and burned the pump on it...so much for my inexpensive quilt!  Linda

Memorial Day Finishes

I've been working on this little pillow/pinkeep for a couple of weeks and thanks to a couple of days secluded out at the campsite I was able to get it finished.  The pattern is from Stacy Nash Primitives pattern book, Love Letters.  There are a couple other pinkeeps I want to stitch up in that book.  Besides this little pinkeep I also finished a knitted wash cloth while sitting by the campfire.  What a productive weekend....wish we had three day weekends all the time.  Hope you had a great Memorial Day!  Linda

Fun Find at Garage Sale

I haven't been to a garage sale in quite a while so this morning me and Ryan headed out.  This was at the first garage sale I stopped at.......I got the whole thing for $2.00.  I'm looking for ideas on what I should do with it now.  Has anybody seen any fun ideas in magazines????  I love the $ sign......but maybe that is because I work in the financial industry.  My other fun score was for .50 1,000 piece puzzle that will be added to my pile of fun things to do someday.  I always enjoyed putting puzzles together with my grandparents but the only kind I do now are 50 pieces or less.   Ryan thought garage sales were great- he found a bike and is ready to head out again next Saturday.   Send me your ideas.....   Linda

I got her done!

It seems like I have been working on this stitching piece for months and finally I baked it this evening.  This stitchery was designed by Stacey Nash and stitched by yours truly.  I have quite the basket of unfinished items so check back again and see what I have been up to.  Linda

SURVIVED DISNEY!!!!!

We just got back from Disney and had a wonderful time......it's such a happy place!  We went to Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios (one of my favorites), Magic Kingdom (loved the parades) and Hollywood Studios.  Seems like I have been busy planning the trip and haven't had much time to work on projects.  I'm close to having a stitchery finished so keep your eyes out......Linda

Hooker Bubble Magnets

Boy have I been having fun.  I've been busy making "Hooker" related Bubble Magnets and some other misc magnets.   I will be all prepared for my next craft show (whenever that might be :)).  These were really fun to make; I've done about 50 so far.  Everything I look at now....that would make a cute magnet.  I might have to make some bubble pins also......
