I HAVE AN ADDICTION AND IT IS NOT JUST TO FABRIC

I have made 13 more pints of this plum jelly and I have a confession....I am so addicted to this stuff.

My husband keeps catching me spooning the jelly.... I get a roll of the eyes and a laugh!

To be honest...I don't know if I can make enough of this stuff......OINK OINK!!

 Towels for a wedding.

 Some little snap bags

 When folding my fabrics the question was, what to do with the pieces that were a half yard or smaller but not smaller than a fat quarter.

I love love the solution.

NEED A LITTLE PIZZAZZ, POP!!

Some of you know that I am moving (AGAIN).....

My husband is retiring and the government does not give you a last move so we are having to move ourselves.

For the last three week-ends my husband and I have been loading the trailer and traveling eight hours to our new destination.  We stay one or two days and then we are on the road again to San antonio.

So....as I was trying to give the new home some personality, I hug up a quilt, and little wall hanging and then one of my calendar quilts at the end of the bar... I went to get my camera to show you and guess what....

I would have travel eight hours to get it...hummmmm 

When I was here last week-end I just felt that this house was lacking pizzazz....pop....

no personality but

it does now!!!!

Put a little Barb touch to it.

My son said it is starting to feel like home.

My husband had Jury duty Thursday and afterward we had planned to head out to our new home so while I was waiting I made this snap bags (click it).  Don't you just love the turtle one????

HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE PREP WORK?

Sometimes I think I actually like prep work but it seems that it takes so much longer than actually doing the project.

I have prepped some more of those snap bag and key fobs to match....  Do you like prep work?

  I had actually made six snap bags and fobs to match and a friend wanted them.

 My sister Jeanette took seven of the first batch.

  Hummmmmmm I see a pattern here? (no pun on the pattern)

A while back I made six of these runners, I got them ready to quilt yesterday.

New Tree of Life taking shape.....remember...this is not finished, it is in a rough form....and probably will not look like this when I actually get urrrrrr done...if I ever get urrrr done.

Also....the colors are so different than what you are seeing here.  I also think it is a good idea to take a picture of the projects you are working on because I can see here that I need to change some things up....nothing is ironed down....the tree base is the only thing that is attached so far.

 

 

Just on a second note...  Sew Cal is doing a designer showcase and today she has showcased me.

 

I am excited but embarrassed too....so if you want to hop on over there and check out her post, please do.  I am looking forward to other designers that she showcases in the future.

 

I need my husband...he is my advisor when it comes to projects like the Tree of Life.....I think he should quilt his job and just be here when I need him......what do ya think?   How dare he try to put more fabric in my bins, needles in my pincushions and most importantly food on the table.
