Barnyard Quilt...

Good Morning Internet Friends!

Yes I should have gone to bed by now but my sleep pattern is all wonky right now thanks to all my puffers.

I have been struggling with my asthma as it is fall, but additionally being in contact this week with someone who was drenched in essential oils to help some health symptom she had.  🙍DOH!

I did finish the Barnyard Quilt Kit:

I loved this fabric as it reminded me of my son's favourite book as a toddler; Duck on a Bike.  If you look closely you will see duck (okay it is a goose) appliqued outside of the fence as duck has escaped the confines of the quilt fence. 🦆

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Sick Day...

Good Evening Internet Friends.

My son and I have been battling sore throats, achy muscles, sore ears, headaches, plugged and or runny noses and the wimpiest irritating cough for almost a week now.  Last night after another long night of no sleeping, and for him coughing til he vomits, I decided that we would take a sick day.  

Both of us did a lot of sleeping and chilling.

I did start on my newest pair of socks.  These are from my Super Amazing Awesome Yarn Club. The subscription is now in hibernation mode with intent to start again in early 2018.  

Along with my new freshly sewn knitting pouch here is the progress I made today:

Now to go get some more sleep and hopefully I feel COMPLETELY better tomorrow.  If not, at least it is my regularly scheduled day off.

Seeing Double!

Good Evening Internet Friends!

No, I do not need to see my optometrist, but I AM seeing double this evening.

The great thing about dumpster diving in the scrap box yesterday was I found more of the exact same fabric that could be cut into the right size for another two of my zippered pouch bags:

And then there were two 😁.

After getting the second pouch made I decided to wind my most recent shipment of the yarn club from Ancient Arts.  I really love this colour and want to get started on the sock pattern that was enclosed in with the shipment.

Now to hopefully cast on before I go to sleep.

Dumpster Diving........For Fabric ☺

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Well.....okay.......maybe that is a bit of a stretch, but not too far.

My neighbor was on the road with her fabric this weekend and sold out of ALL of her sample Zippered Pouches!

She messaged me that she needed more samples and since I did not have any yardage of her current fabric lines and I was too lazy to walk down the street to get some (plus I might have taken more than I needed) I went diving in the scrap box 😼.

Here is what I found:

TAH DAH!!!!  One bag was all I could manage to make from the scraps and random zippers I have on hand.  I really gotta stop making these for her.  It's not fun any more....

While waiting for the 357th load of laundry (not really an exaggeration today - EVERYTHING has been washed), I decided to bake some pumpkin muffins.

Here are all 24 - I mean 23 muffins (the teenage eating machine happened upon these)!

There was enough left over pumpkin puree in the jar for me to make Pumpkin Oatmeal for breakfast tomorrow.

Scrap Sack Star Block

Good Evening Internet Friends.

Well, since it is almost Sunday I am going to post my version of the 4 Patch Star Block.  

This is another block made completely from my scrap stash.  I LOVE making these quilts because NOTHING goes to waste.

Here is this weeks block:

TAH DAH!!!

Just Berry Pickin'

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Almost the END of the week.  Yay.  This week seems to have just dragged on.....

This evening after all my after work errands I took a bit of time to clean/organize my craft room.  That included finishing one of the projects sitting on my crafting desk taking up space!

TAH DAH!!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Grape Jelly Please....

Good Evening Internet Friends!!

At LONGGGG last I have finally completed my #Kindness Knit Along Socks.  I likely would have completed these long ago had it not been for the "unfortunate" mountain bike incident of September 2017.  

Knitting speed and overall productivity still hampered by the wrist at times but tonight I finished the toe and grafted closed:

These socks are made with a full skein of Amethyst and a mini skein of Light Through the Leaves both of which I picked up from Ancient Arts.  

I call these socks my Grape Jelly socks because as soon as I saw the Amethyst that is what I thought of 🍇.  Plus, toast and jelly just might be one of my favourite foods 😸🍞.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
