First block received! & other stuff

Hey everybody!  Did you think that I forgot I have a blog?
Well be assured that I did not!  Just have been busy hanging
out with mom & dad :)
Above is Mr. P proudly modeling his new fishing bag that I
made for him. 

Here is a close up.
He needed a cool bag to keep his Whoppers in so that he
can transport them home from the fishing hole of the day!

I happened to have some Heat ~ N ~ Bond iron on Vinyl and
some fishie fabric!
So voila!

My First EvEr paper pieced block!!!
I made this earlier today,and am very happy with how it turned
out :)
The photo was taken on a sunflower leaf :)
I am thinking of making a small clutch with this on the
front.

These are the Christmas prints that I picked out to make
Melissa's Block with!
I haven't decided yet if I will be using all or just some of them.

I saved the best for last!!!
Here in all its Glory is My block that Melissa Whipped up
and sent to me!  (Man that girl is fast)
I placed the block on a piece of  white with silver fabric that I
have in my stash.
Doesn't it just make you want to make a snow man! :)

THANK YOU Melissa!! :+)
I Love It.

On a serious note...
If you are a believer,or person of Faith Please,Please pray for Jolene &Gil.
Their Dad is in the Hospital on Life Support!

So Gil at the age of 18 has to make the Hardest Decision of his young life in the
very near future.
To Keep his dad on Life Support or Take him off.
So I would GREATLY APPRECIATE your prayers for both
of my kids in this very difficult time in their young lives.
Thank You in Advance :)

Projects

This is my clothes pin keeper!
I have been wanting to make one of these since first seeing
the tutorial over at Spontaneous Threads.
So yesterday this was the project that I worked on in
the morning :)

There is a great tutorial over at SewHappyGeek :)
This is one of the Stashtactular tutorials!
It can be for just about any smallish electronic
device that you have.
The tutorial was for an I pod/I phone
since I have an I pod that is the project I did :)
The nice thing is that the tute is very easy to
follow! 
I was able to whip this baby up in no time!

If you are a follower,you probably know that my parents are
visiting from California for this and next week :)
So,this is a project that my mom is working on!

She saw my Maxine napkins and decided that she would like
to make some for her and &dad to use at home.
Here is the fabric she started with.

A close-up of the above photo.
I used the applique stitch on my machine to attach the smaller
pieces of fabric to the block.

Mom kept asking me "do you think that this fabric goes
together?"
To which my reply was,mom if you like it then it goes just fine!
They are for you so make whatever you like :)

Last night I was able to get the smaller blocks all appliqued onto
the larger blocks.
The duck print is going to be the back side of the napkins.

That will be done today :)
Then it will be on to the next project!
Did I mention that I LOve VACation?!!

Mug Rug Sneak peak & a Pinecone Ornament too

This is the back side of my Mug Rug that I made for Kimber
(my swap partner)
I sent her these pictures and she gave me the okay to post
them on my blog!

Here is the front side of the Mug Rug.
I hope that she likes it!  Her favorite colors are included,as
are nature and Autumn/Fall  themes.

This is my first finished Pinecone Ornament of the year.
I make and sell these at craft fairs and in my eBay store,and
soon in the etsy store I plan to open!

Fall happens to be my favorite time of year also which is why
I decided to make the first Ornament of the year in these
colors.
The picture does Not do this Ornament Justice!
I will be posting more pictures as the Ornaments are finished :)
