New Pattern Coming Soon!

Look at these colors, but I promise it's going to look great when it's through. Hopefully by next week I'll have it quilted and finished.

Blogland has great news traveling from blog to blog. Just look at the side bar for all the things going on. All the goals we have set and WILL accomplish is being read by everyone and I know all of us can do it. What is that saying, "We are Women and we are Strong". I'll be checking on everyone, if it's faith, weight, projects, health, better jobs, etc. We can do it!!!

I'll be posting sewing projects, recipe's for us trying to lose weight and trash to treasures this year (at least that is my goal) to do list.

Have to remind you, please go below for a chance to win prizes=six new Romantic Homes Magazines, fat quarters, quilt book, apron pattern and no telling what.

Gotta get busy,

New Round of Pay It Forward-PIF Oh I forgot to add my post on dieting...

New Round of Pay It Forward-PIF

I joined Linda's PIF so you know what that means, I need to do the same. So here are the rules and we are doing handmade gifts.

It’s the Pay It Forward Exchange. It’s based of the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward” where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness are passed on. So here’s how it works. I will make and send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on the blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I do not know what that gift will be yet, and it won’t be sent this month, probably not next month, but it will be sent (within 6 months) and that’s a promise! What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

I get so excited about this and can't wait to get started.

OK Sharon, here goes, I got out today and bought oranges and grapes, they looked pretty good. I baked a chicken with carrots, celery and new potatoes with Lipton onion soup mix and we had string beans with this. I thought I did pretty good for the first day. Now I need to go and get new shoes for some kind of work out. I'm not as brave as you on showing pictures but will have a lb lost post. Come on girls we can do this.

Don't forget to sign up for the Whirl Into Winter giveaway in the post below!!!

Update PIF is now closed, thanks for joining

I've been busy and non-stop since before Christmas and I hope to slow down now. My friend Jeanie and I had a booth in Dallas with Antiques and we closed it this week. It's sad for us to end this part of the adventure, due to the economy. She lives in Dallas and I'm 5 hours away, but we hope to still stay in touch. It was a lot of hard work, but we had so much laughter that went on, when the two of us got together the hard work was just looked over (except when we couldn't walk cause our feet hurt so much).

Now for the New Year, I pray that everyone has a great year to come their way.

Time for New Beginnings. . . . . . . . . . .

Taylor Addison, Blue Mountain Arts, 1989

"This is a time for reflection as well as celebration.
As you look back on the past year and all that has taken place in your life,
Remember each experience for the good that has come of it and for the knowledge you have gained.
Remember the efforts you have made and the goals you have reached.
Remember the love you have shared and the happiness you have brought.
Remember the laughter, the joy, the hard work, and the tears.
And as you reflect on the past year, also be thinking of the new one to come.
Because most importantly, this is a time of new beginnings and the celebration of life."

"The winner of the magazines is-Drum Roll Please---"

I'm off to email Janet and I'm sure she can use the magazines to read living up North.

*Last I just found out about Debi's Whirl Into Winter Giveaway*

Click on icon to go to her giveaway blog and read all about it.

I guess I've been getting on the computer and getting off to fast and didn't read about this event. I'll be giving away the 6 magazines again, fabric and patterns to help keep you busy for the winter months ahead. I'll post a picture of it all tomorrow. Sorry my camera is full. You can post here or anytime on a post after this one. Just let me know what your goal is for the oncoming year. Here is the picture of the fabric-fat quarters cut, book-Vintage Style Quilts, apron pattern and the 6 new magazines listed in post below will be in the giveaway. I thought this fabric could be used for the upcoming projects for Christmas next year.

I will be back soon to show the pictures of the new projects I'm working on.
