DESTASHING MY HOARD OF FABRIC

 I've been destashing my hoard of fabric on Ebay.  Tonight I added Almost Amish 3 Lots of 10 fat quarters and  a group of 1 bonnet & 2 tonal companion fabrics.

                             
                                                  THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!!!!!!

Grandsons on Christmas

 Eric was born on 12/12/12.  At his 1 month checkup he is 10 lbs 13.5 oz. & 22 1/4" long.  He's already rolling over from front to back.

Iain is 2 1/2 & plays his "bluetar"  all the time.  He loves his cowboy hat and boots & wears them all the time.

I over did the # of shows I did last Fall and was extremely busy.  Too busy!  I plan to cut back on shows & do more on etsy & facebook.  I hope everyone has a wonderful and Healthy New Year.

BUSY CREATING

 It's been such a long time since I've posted.  I've been busy, busy, busy, working to finish Christmas goodies for my shows.  Last show is this Sun.  Next to to are clothes for 6 yr old granddaughter & a doll to fit her favorite dress that she just out grew.  For my grandson (2 1/2)  I'm sewing a RR conductor overalls & hat..  He loves trains.

Hope you liked the pics..

DITTY BAG SWAP

I was Marti of Marti's Musings  partner in the Ditty Bag swap.  I love what she sent --- a ditty bag with a doll in its pocket, a neat bee, a metal E and a wonderful vintage kitchen tool.  Thank you so much Marti and thanks to Amy of Bumble Bee Lane for organizing the swap.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY SWAP

OH!!!!  Was I spoiled by my swap partner, Linda of The Olde Homestead.    Just look and see what she made -----  a ditty bag with Santa printed in it, a cute snowman, a tree on a bobbin and great grubby candles.  But when I got to the bottom of the box, I  gasped,  what a wonderful surprise.  There was a Santa and his reindeer with an electric candle, greens and other goodies.  I absolutely love it.  Thank you so much Linda.  A thank you also to Wendy of Ravenwood Whimzies for organizing the swap.
