January's Gone


It is unbelievable to me that January is already over. I was sick for about 20 days of this month with cold and flu so I guess that is why I have so little to show for the month. I love being able to stay at home and not have to go out to work, but it looks like those days are comming to an end. Economic downturn yadda yadda yadda, so sick of hearing about it, but it has affected my life big time so now I am going to have to find a way of bringing some income into my home. Next week I start a house cleaning job. Its only one hour a week for a lady in a small apartment who just wants her vacuming done, dusting and her bathroom cleaned. Okay, its my mother in law, but it is a job, and I hope it will lead to some referals.
As far as quilting goes, I have been working on a cute little valentine wall hanging that was a foundation piecing mystery from paperpanache. She has the nicest f.p. patterns and I love her mysteries. Here is a photo of how it looks now and I will post another when it is finished.

postcard swaps



I thought I would post some pictures of the last 2 postcard swaps I was in with the postcard cottage group on yahoo. It is a small group and it seems that it may be in danger of folding as enthusiasum in the group is waining. So here I have my "Halloween Critters" swap. Mine is the one with the window looking out. The curtains were made from cheesecloth. The second one was "Add some fiber". Mine is the one with the tree.

My 1st finish for 2009


My fist ufo finish for 2009. I started it before halloween last year but never finished it so now I am 10 months early for this year. I was hoping to do some sewing this week but I have been in bed with the flu all week. Next week I will get started on my next ufo project
