i have a new helper

This is KittyKat. She was a stray out at my parents place and after watching her for two weeks, I brought her home. She seems to like this Christmas present I was finishing up this afternoon

i need to get back to work

And not just because this is the last customer quilt I have to show you but apparently we have 27 quilts to be quilted BEFORE Christmas at the shop? ACK
I love how this one turned out. It's just bits and pieces she had from other projects and stuff she had made her grandkids. Quilt was quilted with Happy Times

After taking a class at Hamels two years ago, I got this teeny tiny stitchery done over the weekend. Now to figure out what to do with it lol! And yes, I should have ironed it before I took the picture lol!

i love this technique

Take a cuttlebug folder, smear ink on the inside so when you emboss, the paper is inked. This is what I did for this card and I love the effect

happy birthday to ME!

Today is my 35th birthday. Didn't turn out like Jim and I had planned. As some of you know, I ended up having surgery(yes again!) on Thursday and we had to cancel a very long planned trip to Hawaii *sob*. Good news, we were able to reschedule the trip(yay!) and my surgery should be the end of my horribly long saga of health issuses!
My dear friendCindy made me this fantastic bag. I already have it loaded up with my embroidery projects. Thanx again Cindy!!
