Christmas 2008

Well here is our family photo for 2008. Note how some of us are behind the couch.

A few more things I made

Here are the Christmas or Winter clothes pins I made for our swap.
I am working on some Valentine clothes pins. When they are finished I will post a photo.


Here is an apron I made on Friday 12/26. I made it for my neighbor. I hope she liked it. I still have a good amount of fabric left. I am ging to make a tea cozy and placemat with it.

Received some packages in the mail this afternoon

I received two packages from two different swaps with my MJFG Friends.
First is my clothes pin swap. This was a cool swap. Never did it before. But I am doing it again for February.


Next was a swap I did for Bee items. In this swap you were to make up a package of items with bees. Thank you very much Vicky! love it!!

Busy Weekend

Well I have been a little busy this weekend.
First I did all my Christmas shopping. And yes, I am finished!!
Then I decided to make a few gifts.
My first item was an apron for my Mother-In-Law. This was a kit I purchased at JoAnn Fabric. At first I didn't think that it was going to turn out any good. But, it looks ok to me.

Next, I made a stocking for a friends daughter. I first seen it on MJFG site. One of the ladies made it and said it was from a pattern. So....I Googled it and found it. It was simple to make.

Then I decided to make a shirt and bag for another friend at work. I found this fabric a year ago and finally got to making the shirt. I did a darn good job on it too. I am very happy with it. The bag is just a simple carry all. With one zipper inner pocket and a key clip. I think she will like it.


Now, I was not the only one busy this weekend. Jeff was working on his train layout. I know I have not posted many photos lately. The things he is doing do not show in photos. Well anyway, he made this control board. He will wire it all up next week. (or so he says)


So thats about it for this weekend.
Christmas is only 4 days away! Think snow. Think snow.

Happy Halloween!

It took me about a month and a half to make my daughters costume. Here are a few photos just before she went out this evening.

Things I found in the SuperMarket

As all of us do, I went shopping last week. Here are a few items I found.


Pigs are my favorite.


My daughter loves frogs.


Who in the world thought of this?? Is this juice for fat children??
