Pick a project!

I really need to pick a project and stay with it!!! LOL! Maybe that is why I have so many UFO's! Actually I did finish up a couple of things! So here is the run down! I got really bored subcutting all of those strips so I sat them aside! LOL! But I will get back to them, I promise! The first thing that I did was make me a new sewing machine mat for my new sewing room (sweat shop). Nothing fancy and I didn't want a ton of pockets in it just something that I can store things without having to figure out which pocket it is in.

So while Richard and Hunter were fishing I made a new pin cushion! This was made from a pattern that Libby sent to me. I really like it! Now if I can just remember to throw my threads in there instead of the floor! LOL! And it even has a little pocket for a seam ripper!
We had company the biggest part of the day today and she wanted to look at my quilt stuff. She fell in love with my Civil War Love Letter quilt top. She said she didn't know how to paper piece! So what is a girl to do??? Get out the sewing machine, of course!!! Since she had never tried it before I didn't want to show her something too hard, so I dug out a few of my UFO's. This first one is a "Courthouse Steps" I really like these blocks and may work on it again soon. I think today I made 6 more blocks. Then I showed her how to do a simple string block. This is one that I had a few blocks done on it. I love working with these blocks they are just mindless quilting and go fairly quickly. I kept these out and plan on working on these over the next several days....or weeks....maybe months... And now I leave you with a few photos of Hunter! I thought these were so cute! I know he is dirty but they had been down at the pond fishing for several hours and he is a little country boy, if he sees dirt he has to play in it! LOL! Anyway...Hunter caught 11 fish and he was very excited so I wanted to take some photos. I told him to grab a couple of them and hold them up!

Then one started flopping and he dropped it! I think it freaked him out! Look at his face! LOL!

Then he picked it back up! :)
Now I'm off to bed! Good night!

A Quick Project

Well...we got another snow! :( I am sooooo tired of it. I usually love the snow but this has been a hard winter for us here. I took this photo yesterday but we got a few more inches after the photo was taken.

I was working on my Scrappy Windmill quilt and I ran out of thread!! That just burns my butt! Anyway, I need to hurry and get this quilted and off of the frame because I have received 3 customer quilts this week. I will be going this weekend to pick up the thread and get back to quilting!

Here is Donkey! As you can see, he got his tubes out but he still has the stitches in. You can't see them in the photo because they are on the other side. Silly cat has found a way to take his cone and use it to scratch his stitches!!! He has torn a few of them out, so we are hoping that is will still heal good.

Little Hunter is having a sleepover tomorrow (Friday) School is cancelled for tomorrow but as of right now 2 of his little friends are still coming! Wish me luck that I survive THREE little 8 yr old boys!!! I have been cleaning the house, I don't know why because I'm sure it will be wrecked by the time they play.

I did work on a quick little project tonight! Here are two plastic bag dispensers. Made with fat quarters they go together in less than 10 minutes! The orange one is for me to put in my new kitchen since I am doing it in orange and I figure I will give the other one to my sister or someone.

It is almost midnight and we are still up. Hubby is working on his "process analysis" paper. He is still in school and is doing great! I'm so proud of him, I know it was hard for him to go to college after being out of school for 20 years.
