Favorites on Friday

While waiting to be invited on Pinterest, (been waiting for months) I thought I would just post my own favorite thing on Fridays. Today my favorite thing is Pam Kitty Morning fabric. The designer's name is Pam Vieira McGinnis. The line is from Lakehouse fabrics. I am so excited to have this yummy fabric in my stash. It will have to be an awefully cute pattern before I cut into these! Saw these cute ditties for inspiration. If I were to create my own fabric line, this would be it!

Get out of the Smog!

My sweet dh asked me to take a quick trip with him to Cortez, Colorado. It was to take some"body" to their final resting place. I don't think I was much company, for I slept much of the way! We thought about touring Mesa Verde this morning but decided to drive down again with family to experience the ruins later this year. It was so good to get in a good breath of fresh air for a change.

177 DAYS

I haven't put the Christmas decor away yet. I am stalling! I love Christmas decorations. I think the other reason is because I have nothing cute to put in the place of nativities. I wait as long as possible and then I can put up valentine cutesie.
I went to the dollar store today to buy son's b-day box items. I picked up some birthday decorations, pepperoni, reeses peanut butter cups and I just happened to see the cutest valentine window clings. Went to costco and had Christmas photos developed to send. Zoomed home and made up his box, zipped to neighborhood grocery store and thankfully they have a post office. Got the birthday sent...yippee! I realized that this just may be the last box I send to South America...very happy about that as I watched her stuff the box into the post bag in the back. I said a quick prayer that it would make it there safely. It has new shoes and shirts; essential for the hard work he will be doing for the next 177 days.

Merry Christmas!

Nothin' like the last minute quilting...the receiver of the quilt came to stay before I sewed the binding. Oh, and must explain the hair...yep...I went dark to help hide the dark roots that had grown.
We had a wonderful Christmas! My parents here for Christmas Day is icing on the cake. It wouldn't be the same without them. It was especially great to attend church first before opening any gifts. After church, we scurried home to wait for son's skype call from South America. He wasn't able to find a camera so that we could see him but he could see us. I am so grateful for electronics that enable us to be more connected. It felt like he was in the next room!

Another one bites the dust!

Finished another UFO...So glad to have it done. The quilt top is made of scrappy strips that I quilted individually on fleece, then sewed the large blocks together. I then backed it with some 60's funky flannel that was at Grandma's yard sale. I tacked it down with yarn ties at intervals to keep the back in place. #3 child has already slept under it and says it's very comfy. On to the next UFO...:} Just to say....I LOVE SCRAPPY!
