DISAPPEARING HOUR GLASS (IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS, YOU ARE MISSING OUT)

Jenny from Missouri Star Quilt Co came up with this.  I watched the video twice and passed it up....told myself later.

Then my sister Jeanette (Inchworm Fabrics) was online and said she was having a quilting fest with her daughter and they were doing these Disappearing Hour Glass.  Asked if I had seen it...Of course but please....please.....I am trying to be strong.

She asked if I would join her and her daughter.....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A gal can be strong for only so long.

so...  From Hour Glass

                                                                  to this..................

Here is the video

                                            Enjoy!!!!  Be Strong!!!

NEWEST UPDATE ON SEWING ROOM

A place for my Accuquilt Go cutter....it now has a home....

Hummmm that is where my brush went...

 Working on two projects at once.  I would have shown you more of the  table but I am working on something that I can now show right now.  Which I might add is not going well....two days of working on this project, finally I just folded it all up and put it away.

 My sewing area and lovely fabrics.  I can sew and embroider at the same time.

 Did this last night called Home Tweet Home,

I HAVE AN ATTITUDE FOR BEATTITUES....

I just have to put the buttons on and I can call this one done!!!!

HELLO.......HELLO.....IS ANYONE OUT THERE?

As you can see, I have been very busy.....and this is not all of them, I have given or consumed 11 more jars.  Won't say how many were consumed....hummmmm  Just about anyone who comes to my home goes home with some.

 I have stopped canning and just make the juice and freeze it for canning later in the year.  Maybe Christmas Presents with a nice hand towel?

My son's girlfriend sells Sarah Briggs jewelry and so I made her some snap bags for her really nice pieces.
His girlfriend came down for the week-end to be with my husband and I while our son worked.  I guess she likes us, we spoil her and in turn she spoils us.  She made supper Sat. night, breakfast Sunday Morning and then supper that Sunday evening and even cleaned up the mess.  I thought I had died and gone to heaven except for the extra pounds I gained from her awesome cooking.

I have been working on this one quilt forever and finally got the borders quilted.  Trust me, I am in no competition with "Green Fairy Quilts" but I am sure pleased with the outcome.  Now to just bind it.

I purposely didn't show you the whole quilt so you would not get bored with it.

Those of you who like Connecting Threads, they are having an awesome sale on their fabrics.  I purchased background fabrics (solids) for $2.20....if that isn't a deal I don't know what is.

SO I AM BUSY FEEDING MY ADDICTIONS TODAY, FABRIC AND JELLIES...UMMMM UMMMMM GOOD!!!!

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.

NO JUDGEMENTS HERE....PLEASE

Here is how far along I have come on my folding.....My sister has even come over and folded some more.

 I was asked to show a picture of the desk in relation to the sewing room....only because I aim to please....

 Both ends are the same but you can change up the little cubbie shelves.

 Here is what I did last night.  Plum jelly and Dewberry jelly.  I also am trying to make fruit leather in the over.  I was so tired last night that I just turned it off and went to bed....we will see if I can get it to work today.  Maybe I made the leather too thick?  We will see.

ONE FABRIC FOLDING LESSON FROM MY SISTER......AND I AM OFF.....first purchase for my sewing room....come and see.

My sister Beverly came by last night and gave me a folding lesson......she just eyed her folds but I am having to use a ruler.  I am just thrilled...so you know what I will be doing today!!!

If you walk into Beverly's sewing room all of her fabric is stacked so nice and neatly.  You noticed that I did not show you the rest of the fabrics...maybe when I get them all folded....

 Then we went to Big Lots and this beauty is what I found....oh my gosh.  It was sitting by the front door so you couldn't miss it.  Half off.......my husband was even surprised at how sturdy it was....so you my friend

                                                                        are
                                                      looking at my new cutting table.  A big shout out to my husband...he is the one that spend all afternoon putting it together....

My sister and mother loved it so much that we went back that evening to get them one..... 

All I can say is that it changes the look of my sewing room ..... Gave me the incentive to get in there and fold, declutter...throw more stuff away...if you are close by....I can throw some stuff your way.
