Two weeks and counting

Just think, there is only two weeks left until Christmas Day.  Do you have all of your projects done, or are you scrambling to get them all done in time.   Here is hoping your holidays are bright and shiny.

HAND QUILTING: December Giveaway

HAND QUILTING: December Giveaway is having a giveaway for the Christmas season. Please mention my blog pamspinks sent you.
I also have a report on my stash......
I received a call from a friend who knew a moving company that had been left with some material from someone who had moved and did not want it.  Needless to say being a quilter I had to check it out.    I payed $100.00 for the material and the rest of the things.  So......  My stash has grown by at least half.....   Not that I am complaining mind you.  I do enjoy just looking at it some days.  It also included 2 quilt calendars from years gone by, part of a Handi-Quilter, jelly rolls,  charm packs, rulers, cutting mats and more.
My problem now is what can I make for the nice friend who called me in the first place?
Any suggestions?

An awesome way to explain how it feels to live with a disability

“The Spoon Theory” at www.butyoudontlooksick.com/the_spoon_theory  Any one that has a family member or friend or even just someone they know with chronic pain should read this.  It is the most enlightening piece I have ever read having to do with dealing with chronic pain day to day.  
On a lighter note I did get the 3 sets of hanging kitchen towels done for church.  And the Fall Festival was a big hit.  
Now, on to Thanksgiving and Christmas and all that they entail.  I love Christmas the most of all the holidays.  Maybe because my birthday is the day after.
Oh well, have a blessed day.

And another giveaway!!!!!

Isn.t this the best

An awesome week

This week I was finally able to get the Futura 250 Embroidery machine to do exactly what I wanted it to do.  I made 3 sets of hanging kitchen towels for the church's Fall festival.  It took me forever to get them done but they are worth it.  I will be posting pictures later this week of the towels.  And now I wait for the results of the CT scan of my neck.  While moving I lifted more than my 5 pound limit and now I await the results.  More later...

Birthdays all around

Well finally we are past the birthdays.  Whew,  it seems like they are all in a row.  At least now we only have 1 more between now and Christmas.  I love this time of year, not the weather, just the birthdays and getting together to celebrate them.
