Beejeebers - February 2012- in progress



It's Lindsay's month at my online quilt bee: Beejeebers. She is soooooo making me think out of the box! Her theme was 'Game Boards' as she is making a large family quilt. I chose the game SORRY for the quilt block that I'm going to make and send to her. Whoa! It's been difficult...but invigorating at the same time! Once I figured out how I was going to do it, it all just kind of came together! Weird. I'll post the final block once it's complete,but here's a bit of my progress....

Potholder Pass #10

Just finished up this set of potholders for my partner at flickr - she loves the color combo. I must admit, it's a little out of my comfort zone, but it was way fun to make these log cabins! They are being shipped out this morning!

Beejeebers - January 2012




2012 is going to be a great year!! I've joined this new Quilting Bee organized by Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting! She's an awesome host and has already started a flickr group for the blocks - link on right - Anyhow, this month is Jamie Lee Cooley and she wants to do a wonky house/tree quilt for one of her daughters. These are the two blocks I've come up with for Jamie - who loves them!!

I've learned that being wonky is NOT easy!!! But it is always fun!

Merry Christmas 2011





Dennis & I decorated a pine tree that is right outside our living room for the deer, birds and other animals instead of having an indoor tree. Dennis put some retro lights ups several weeks and and yesterday we added 80 feet of popcorn/cranberry garland that we spent the past week stringing. Dennis also made some peanut butter/birdseed pinecones to hang. Our first visiter yesterday was a huge pilated woodpecker, but I didn't have the camera ready....then, about 2am, my son saw several deer that were hitting the corn troughs while he was changing the baby's diaper!! I think we are going to see animals for quite awhile, enjoying the goodies!

2011 Gifts







I created a total of 16 of these containers made from recycling GF International Coffee cans. I used to drink a lot of Suiss Mocha - sugar free! lol These are for my coworkers and I am delivering them today. Most are filled with miscellaneous chocolates, but a few have cashews, for my lo-carb friends.
