Boo!

Whipped this little baby up this week.
Last Saturday, I dragged the hubby out for a Field trip.
Took him to San Marcos, a fabric store of course, "grand country quilters ".
Then lunch.. Then allll the way to to the east side, Ramona quilt show was going on...after we hit that..couldn't leave without going to crazy 9 patch quilt store...then since we were in downtown Ramona... The cutest little antique stores were open..soooo... Yes we stopped.
And all because I had not a single piece of orange fabric to do this...


But I do now... :)

Little projects...

Santa table mat. I tried something new. I was VERY curious to see what machine appliqué would look like on all wool.


I think it looks very nice. Makes things 'pop' out.


Then we have Mr. Turkey...


I started him on the girls weekend away.

When I was out shopping... Fell in love with this bucket... But not the price.



Came home, got MY bucket out of the garden....


Painted and glued this rose piece on it and....TA-DAAA!!


Now to fill it and find a special spot to put it...

Thankful.......

Ann's Birthday...

Made Ann a brown sugar caramel pound cake... It was delicious...



Wasn't sure how it would turn out.... You know.... You stress out... Is it cooked all the way... Will it taste good... Everyone was looking at me and I was just HOPING it was gonna be good... But... Just in case, I stopped at Stater's on the way to work and had a "back up" cake... Just in case...
But it was fine... So we had cake 2 days in a row... Second day was "red velvet" mmmmmmm...
Sad thing is.... I no longer have the recipe...I found it on Facebook. Whenever I see a yummy recipe on fb, I snap a pixt and put it in the album, 'recipes'. Soo... I was cleaning up my pictures, cuz I have a gazillion... And went back to double check the cake recipe, and ALL of them were gone... Zap! Gone!
I was heart broken... And now I have to start ALL over collecting the recipes... By the way... EVERY single recipe I have tried on fb...DELICIOUS!!!!!

Field trip!!!!

Temecula's outdoor quilt show...


Won't bore you with any more.... They were everywhere though....


Had to stop at serendipity....


Too many ideas.... She used anything and everything for a planter or bird bath, and they all looked WONDERFUL!






- then we stopped at a couple of shops....look at this... Canning lid jars!!!


I'm going out to my garden and re vamping my bucket!!,


Record boxes... Just painted... Who woulda thunk!!!


Old piece of wood... Painted... I'm on the hunt now...


The end.... Time for a nap!!

Before.....

- now I gotta sew all the stinking rows together.... Add borders...get the backing....quilt....and bind.... I may get it done before the year is over... :)
