More FUN!

Good Evening Internet Friends.

Today was Day 2 of the Quilt Show.  I only attended part of it but still got to catch up with old friends and make some new ones.

Right now I have no itinerary or plans for tomorrow other than sleeping in until kiddo and dog decided to stampede the house.  I have made this weeks 4 Patch Star Block:

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

"Sew" Much Fun!!!

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today I attended the  Black Gold Quilt Patch Guild - Quilt Show 2017.  

It was "sew" much fun to see all the beautiful quilts and fibre art displays and meet with so many amazing quilters.  

This evening I am quite tired from all my socializing, but I did spend a wee bit of time in my craft room and made:

Another of the star blocks that should have been finished two years ago!!!🙌🙌🎉

TAH DAH!!!

Now possibly a bit of knitting before I fall asleep as I promised to go back tomorrow and meet more people!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

"Sew" the joke still stands that I am one cat away from being the crazy cat lady.  As such, I had to have this book.  This evening I spent some time in my craft room and made:

A Kitty Cat Hot pad!  🐈

Scrap Sack Star Block

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today was a really big deal of NOTHING!  Kiddo and I slept late.  Had a late brunch, finished reading the last of the Nicholas books.  We have thoroughly enjoyed reading these books and now I will be introducing my son to the comics by the author.

Later this afternoon we took the dog for a walk in the River Valley.  It was very beautiful but my lungs started to bother me.....

Since it is Sunday I also completed my 5th block of the scrap block I designed to help use up scraps quicker:

I think I must still have pumpkin on my mind.....

I LOVE making these blocks because I feel validated when I get to dig through my scrap box and make something pretty from my scraps!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

More Pumpkin....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Last night I baked the pumpkin so that I could have pumpkin for making pies today.  I ended up with 12+ cups of pumpkin mash so I decided to start using it up.

First off was breakfast where we had pumpkin oatmeal pancakes topped off with fresh raspberries and maple syrup.  Yum:

After breakfast it was time to prepare pie crusts for the pumpkin pie that I am taking to Thanksgiving Dinner this evening.

I discovered that I had no butter in the freezer.  No vegetable shortening either.....so.....I decided to use canola oil that of course I do have to make pie crust:

Filled with the pumpkin pie filling and off to bake:

Surprisingly enough these crusts turned out amazing!  I will definitely be making this substitution again 😼

Dinner was being hosted by my neighbour and since I did not have a hostess gift other than the pie.....I made a Thank You card:

Dinner was fabulous and I think turkey brain has homesteaded as I am super tired and it is not even late. 😴🛌

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving Weekend.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

MADE IT!!!

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Well......I MADE IT to the weekend.  Somehow this was a very long week.

This evening after the roast beef dinner I made in the slow cooker while at work today I chose to spend a bit of time in my craft room.  Plus, I was baking a pumpkin so that I have pumpkin to make pie tomorrow:

With more than 12 cups of pumpkin here there might be a LOT of pumpkin baking happening around here.  

In my craft room I made another two Anne of Green Gables Christmas blocks with my Christmas Anne fabric:

TAH DAH!!!

Here's hoping I can get organized to make some more this weekend.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

I Think I can......

Good Evening Internet Friends!

It's almost Friday so that means I think I can make it to the weekend!!🎉

Somehow this was a long week by Tuesday!

Not a lot of time spent in the craft room.  A bit of knitting while at extracurricular activities but that is all.  

This evening I took a few minutes to myself in my craft room and made another of the Anne of Green Gables Christmas Blocks:  

Here's hoping for a productive weekend as I only have a couple of errands to run and a bunch of baking, and housework, yard work for winter, walk the dog and entertain kiddo some too 🚸, oh and since it will be warm maybe take the mountain bike out one last time before winter!!!🚵

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
