A Year in Review

so there is my 2010. i was thinking

"man it felt like i did more than that"

and i did....but here is a shocker.... i didn't finish them!

perhaps those little guys will make it to the 2011 post :)

i think my fav. thing to make was the ornaments. 

no way to get wonky stitches on those!

so 2010 wasn't too bad...i got to paint my office at work

a soft lime green :) i learned a lot of really awesome

things about God, i got my best friend back after

almost 2 years, had our 1 year wedding anniversary,

had some family over for Thanksgiving

(which really meant a lot, usually its just us, mom and dad)

learned a lot about wine :) with some great friends !

i guess that doesn't seem all that eventful, but no news

is good news :) didn't accomplish not 1 of my resolutions,

who the crap ever does?! but i do tend to set my 

sights high...so this year will be a little easier.

starting with Adkins next week and sticking too it!

its really easy once you get the hang of it.....

(plus i can't fit into any of my cute clothes anymore!)

So best of luck to yall with all those resolutions

and here's to a happy healthy new year!

What are your 2011 goals?

Holla!

Merry Christmas to all!

Holly Jolly Table Runner

2 posts in 1 day?! Can you tell its a snow day?

just when you thought you got rid of me!

welp, here she is, my finished Christmas table runner.

i <3 it. Pattern courtesy of the great people

at American Patchwork & Quilting in the 

Dec. issue. as you can tell i am a slacker

and didn't do the applique. i just don't have the

patience. plus, i was late getting started

and all my decorating had been done,

i had no time to waste on holly berries :)

i also <3 prairie points!! its just about the

only thing i can control. they

actually line up!!! hazzaa!

i know that you were just dying to see if i had

actually accomplished a project.

you can start breathing again! :P

anyone make anything kewl from their

quiltie mags?

Who doesn't love Ornaments?

I made these as gifts for the office.

They are really addictive once you get started,

and a GREAT way to use up scraps and

left over jelly roll pieces.

I found this great tute here.

i totally cheated and hot glued the "binding" edge on.

one thing is fo sure, DO NOT under estimate the

amount of pins you will need! :)

 

hope these help you guys decide what to make

for some last minute gifts!

lemme know if you make any and post some pix

somewhere! the possibilities are endless.

remember the holly jolly project i was working on?

its been finished for about 2 weeks now

(impressed, no?!)

but the weather has been less than stellar so

i haven't been on any photoshoots....

it is snowing today, and i think it will be great

to take some pix today while the wind is 

laying low.

Happy holidays and good luck to all you

last minute shoppers!!
