SADDLE BAG

I got the pattern from e-Pattern Central. It goes over a walker and has pockets, don't know if that is a good picture or not. This is for a dear friend of mine, we call her Grandma Peters. I had extra fabric so I made a little cosmetic bag.


I am having seperation anxiety from Mr. Pfaff. What will he ever do without me?

Probably up in the air as you are reading this....I sure hate to fly.....truly.

WHAT DID I SO FIRDAY INSTEAD OF PACKING???

Totes and more totes....but I have found it fun to try and do free motion quilting...The machine did not like sewing on this material...it has those funny flowers that have a plastic feel to them.



No stippling here but matching accessories..



This batik was so awesome to try my free motion quilting...turned out lovely. I made the one small bag the other day...thought I would match everything up since I loved the batik so much.



A little Christmas around the house......Got this tree (the cut out) at a garage sell a few years back and well....it was calling out to me to make...so I answered the call.



Oh yes.....I know what you are thinking....Glad Barb finally got off that towel jag.....well.......you just know I couldn't....not sick of them yet.


So this is what I am doing instead of cleaning and packing....Shame on me...I have one more project Saturday too... Yep, this gal is going to be running around like a chicken with its head cut off tonght (Saturday) to get packed.

If I do not post before Christmas...I am hoping you all have a wonderful time with family and friends and take a few moments to ponder the real meaning of Christmas....it is not the gifts, it is not the food, where you live or what you do, it is all about one person and that is our Beloved Savior and a loving Heavenly Father that sent his son as a gift to us.

MERRY CHRISTAS EVERYONE!!!!

Thanks Millie

MAIL, MOUNTAIN AND POUCH

I spent what little time I had yesterday making these pouches for the pattern I made. I tried to get those plastic ziplock bags but because of where I live they would not send or the mailing was too high(we have US shipping rates, they don't know that)...so I gave up and just decided to do this for now.




Then I got all these books in the mail...they were 3 - 4 dollars, the most expensive part was the shipping www.daedalusbooks.com



Then we hit that mountain again...determined to make it to the finish!

We walked past where we left off......and walked up hill, down hill, slid sidways...yes..it did rain some on the way to the end.



Got to a point where you would go to one side of the mountain ridge and you would see Pago harbour and then to the other side and see the back of the Coxcomb (no pictures)

At one point we were literally going straight up...okay not straight but that was an amazing incline....but still not there yet...


We finally made it....yepeeeeeeee Then came the down pour.....we were soaked from head to foot...Took us four hours total....but...was too sore to post last night....can barely stand for long lengths of time right now...but oh...it feels ooooohhhhh sooo good!!!

What fun mail and fun day on Monday!!

I forgot about this win over at Crazy Old Ladies, so when it came in the mail I was sooooooo surprised and Happy!!! thanks sooo much and if any of you have time, go check out their wonderful blog!!



Then Tuesday I got up early and starting sewing right off the bat....and sewed and sewed. I met my husband in town and we climbed that mountain again and took an hour off our time....no huge backpack and the weather was cooler. Then came home again and sewed again...don't you just love them? I got the pattern off e-pattern.com
