Friday Feature Card

Good Evening Internet Friends.

It has somehow been a long week, and alas I quite behind on my blogging.

My creativity is at an all time low, and so to participate in Karina's Krafting Crew I broke into one of my Paper Pumpkin sets.  I think this might have been the August shipment, but I honestly don't know.

So, since I did not feel like following directions for the first card today, here is what I made:

I think my crafting ambitions are done for tonight.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Quilting Along...

I am a little behind on my blog posts of late I am afraid.  I worked Urgent Care this weekend, and there were still quite a few people out there with the flu so it was a busy weekend.  I did not get much quilting in.  I did manage over the course of Saturday and Sunday very early in the mornings when I got home to get the last of these blocks for my PQM Cracked Pots Mystery Quilt done:

Here they are placed on top of the border fabric I picked out (a little secret - - I picked out the border fabric first) : )

Now off to see if I can get the inner borders with my blender fabric on before the next clue is released (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA), oh I am funny.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Friday Feature Card

I have been enjoying myself lately on Friday evenings playing with some of the fun stamp sets I have collected over the years.

I am participating in Karina's Krafting Crew again this week and here is what I came up with:

The layout of course is courtesy of Mojo Monday 329.  Ironically I do my Monday projects on Friday.  Seems appropriate for me!!!

Happy Birthday to Pop and Hip Puffle!

Hello Internet Friends!!

My son loves to play Club Penguin.  He has even set me up with my own account don't you know!

Well, Pop the Puffle has a birthday today and Hip the Puffle has a Birthday on Saturday and my son wanted to have Birthday Parties for these creatures. 

We came up with a compromise; I would make cupcakes for his class tomorrow (all the kids play this game), and he could celebrate his Puffle's Birthday's tomorrow.

Here is what we made:

 Happy Birthday Puffle's!!!

Work In Progress Wednesday

Good Evening Internet Friends!

I decided to participate again this week in The Needle and Thread Networks Work In Progress Wednesday.

Way back several weeks ago (more like months), I decided to participate in the Downton Abbey Mystery Quilt Along because, well, who does not like that show??

It has turned out to be a little bigger task than I had thought it would be and what with all the other on the go projects I currently have on the go, this is as far as I have made it:

TAH DAH!!!  Block four.  Well, so what?  Okay, secret here, this block is more than 24" wide, and no I did not make a mistake. I have also rotary cut all of the pieces for these blocks of which learning to use the die equivalent system for rotary cutting has really challenged my quilting skills.  

The good news is after doing this quilt I am no longer upset that the die cut system I ordered at the start of this project from the "Amazing" online company was lost by the "UPStanding" courier service.  I now know how to use the system with my rotary cutter and can use the saved money for something useful like more fabric!!!

The further I get into these blocks the more I like them, and I really want to get the quilt done to see it in it's glory, but alas, I have to work, and do laundry and mundane things like that....

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

What's For Dinner???

I needed a fairly quick vegetable to go with dinner tonight.  Upon inspection of the contents of the refrigerator I stumbled across a whole head of cauliflower. So I decided to make a Cauiflower Casserole:

Turned out well, and everyone enjoyed it, plus there are leftovers for tomorrow!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

I'm so Far Behind....

Several months ago (like September I think) I started on my own version of the PQM's Cracked Pots Mystery Quilt.  This quilt has been a challenge and it still is!!!  The amount of teeny tiny pieces that have gone into have at times made me believe I was "nuts" to take this on, and worse yet if I were to admit myself to a local "mental" program there probably would have been an arts and crafts component of rehabilitation of which I feared would be completing this quilt!!!!

Okay, while I am very faaaaaaaar behind everyone else, here is what I have managed to make so far:

The blender fabric behind the blocks is not showing up too well, but it has mini gold and black stars on it and I thought it was fun!

Now off to make 28 more of the alternative block to go with this...

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
