FRIENDS Swap Sneak Peak

Just a little sneak peak at what I have been working on before I post it for it's journey to Jo in Tasmania. As I started this particular item I had the final product visualized in my mind but then as I was working on it I worried that I had made the wrong choice. But now that it is complete, it is even better then I had hoped. I love it and hope Jo does as well. Course there is something fun for each letter in FRIENDS but this particular one is my favorite.

A Pillow for Gina

My Co-worker Gina is celebrating a birthday tomorrow and I could not resist making something for her. I hope she likes it:

Bag and Hat

One of Ivy Girl's little friends had a birthday recently and of course I had to do another of the bobble-licious bags but also decided to do a ht as well.

Bobble-licious in Lavendar

A co-worker's daughter celebrates her 9th birtday today and I could not resist making her one of the Bobble-licious purses from the pattern provided by the wonderful Heidi.
I love making this purse as it is so quick and easy and the girls love it.

Apple Crate Quilt in Nicey Jane

Another quilt in the works. This one using a pattern from the Moda Bake Shop called Apple Crate and I am using Nicey Jane fabrics from Heather Bailey. I've been using these fabrics in decorating our family room and decided it would be nice to have a quilt to curl up under while reading a book.

Here are four of the blocks completed:

 These six are awaiting a final round of print
and these a final round of white

Once these blocks are completed it will be on to awaiting the remaining fabrics that are ordered before completing this project.

We're Off To The Quilter's

This along with two other quilt tops will be making the 45-minute journey to our favorite quilter this week...I can't wait to see it completed.

Summertime Fun

I came across this fabulous idea the other day and just had to give it a go for the kiddos. Since the weather promises to be summer like this weekend I thought it the perfect time to head to Home Depot and gather the supplies and also get a 10% Military discount while I was at it. Being military does have it's advantages at times.


It was so quick and easy to put together, especially since the folks at Home Depot cut the PVC pipes to length for me while I was there. Isaiah had a blast drilling the holes before he and Mac headed off to go tend to one of Mac's projects.

I used 3/4" PVC for this project and followed the idea of another blogger in leaving off the misters and just going with holes drilled every 2" across the top piece. I did 6 holes down the side pieces but think I should have just stuck with 4....oh well...it's still tons of fun.
