The Urge To Purge

After having everything shoved to my sewing studio over the holidays to make room for LOTS of family on Christmas Eve, I needed to sort through all my fabrics! As I did, I got the urge to simply sew 5 inch squares together from 4 of the 6 charm packs I found that had originally been bought by "Quilt In A Day" a few years (?) ago!

No rules, no certain pattern, just sew charms!

Loving it and the hum of my machine working makes me very happy!

I am glad I had the foresight to buy matching border fabric, so this will be done quickly, and I still have enough fabric to make a donation baby quilt, or a baby quilt for someone!

54th Birthday

Oh my, did I get spoiled for my birthday! We had a "taco night" with family all around!

My 3 kids got me a flatscreen TV for our bedrooms (apparently having a 60 lb TV with a 17 inch screen is unthinkable) but this JVC TV is awesome!

My husband overdid it this year, I got flowers, 3 pointsettia plants, an ergonomic chair for my sewing studio and another dinner with just the two of us at "The Ranch" ---yummy!

Got this awesome note from Amanda:

Saw her apartment decked out for Christmas:

I feel like my baby girl is so grown up! She is loving her new apartment and roommates! I made a little something for the roomies:

Personalized stockings-made with my original pattern!
