Since I'm sick.......

Going to the doctor is getting...well...old.
In my last 25 years I have learned something-- doctors aren't always right

Right at this very minute I am stuck.

On my couch.

with Mono.

Again.

I first got mono in the seventh grade- at which time they said, and I quote, "the good thing about mono is that you can only get it once."

I got it again in 9th grade.

And here I am again at 25. The second time I thought it was a terrible coincidence. This time it's just plain annoying. I have things to do! And my work friends don't want me to infect them {not that I blame them}

So I wrapped presents- after my nap.

And I put garland on the banister- after my nap.

And after medicine, I am finally able to swallow better so I had a little something to eat.

And here are a few photos to catch you up on our tree harvesting adventure! :)

I think I'm in Love......

I know what you're thinking...

Yes, I already have a machine.

But I think I do enough sewing to justify this.

And Marcia at Pine Needles told me I deserve it!

So Santa if you're listening...

I'd really like this Swiss made Bernina 830 Limited Edition.

I promise I've been really good this year.

Some times too good.

:D

November 15

Can you believe we're half way through November?

I cannot.

I've been doing this thing on Facebook that's called the 30 days of Thanksgiving. And throughout the month I have been saying (almost everyday) what I am thankful for.

And so far they've been pretty much related to all of the crazy things in my life like feeling better and my daughter and my business. You know, those types of things.

I hope everyone is as thankful for the things in their lives as I am. Good or bad they have shaped who I am.

Just a little funny photo for ya!

Holiday Explosion Business Show

I am currently sitting at the Elks club. Patiently waiting for the Holdiay Explosion Home Based Business show to start.

And I'm doing Photo Printing on Fabric!!

A Quilt Filled Weekend

Since it's Sunday night and I have nothing better to do than blog.... not...I thought I'd show a few projects I worked on this weekend.

I quilted the center background blocks with my own version of McTavishing. The black border is quilted with very small swirls and the outside border is quilted with "sticks". It is backed with Minkee and it's SUPER soft. I just love it. :)

Projects 2 & 3.
Winter table runners
