We've had our tree up for almost 2 weeks.
I absolutely love it. It has perfect shape
and thanks to Nate for putting it up and for
putting up with all my demands
"turn it this way', "no, turn it that way",
etc., etc........

So despite being sick, I had a great
Thanksgiving Day with my family.
Saturday I had a booth at the parade
here in Florence. I did surprisingly well.
I was able to reduce my inventory and sell
quite a few Gold Cayon Candles as well
as some items from Clemz Clozet.
I am excited, as I have some great quilts in
the works:
The Chocolate Princess Quilt
The Cupcake Quilt
The I am a Child of God Quilt
The Urban Chicky Quilt
The Urban Blues Quilt
The Urban Brown Quilt
and a few more surpises.
Gotta go, lots to catch up on...

I WRITE THIS POST IN TEARS AS
I TRY TO THINK WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY
TO CHASE WHEN HE GETS HOME
FROM SCHOOL TODAY.
SOME HORRIBLE, CRUEL ABSOLUTELY
EVIL PERSON, GOT INTO OUR FENCED
YARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,
BY GOING THRU OUR NEIGHBORS
YARD, THRU THEIR CONNECTING GATE,
ONTO OUR PORCH, TOOK CHASE'S
BEAUTIFUL BLACK AND GOLD
RAZOR BIKE, WALKED IT THRU OUR
YARD, BACK THRU THE CONNECTING GATE
AND OUT OUR NEIGHBOR'S FRONT GATE.
WHOEVER THIS UGLY PERSON WAS
THEY HAVE HUGE FEET, THEY LEFT
THEIR STINKIN' SHOE PRINTS ALL
OVER OUR YARD.
THERE ARE 2 THINGS YOU NEVER MESS WITH
THAT BELONG TO A BOY:
THEIR DOG AND THEIR BIKE.
PLEASE IF YOU LIVE HERE IN TOWN
WATCH FOR A 18" BLACK AND GOLD
RAZOR BIKE. I GUESS I BETTER GO
MAKE SOME COOKIES SO I CAN SIT WITH
CHASE AND TELL HIM THE
BAD NEWS WHEN HE GETS HOME.

I have sooo much to do and not
enough time to do it in, plus
I have another kidney stone that is killing
my back and making it impossible to get anything done.
Normally I sew at night, but I spend most of
my nights throwing up these days
while this ugly stone is taking my life over.
In the pictures below I have the makings of
2 loveys, 9 rag quilts, (3 are Moda Strawberry
Lemonades-PINK,YELLOW,GREEN,
2 I Spy quilts, 1 I am a Child of God quilt,
1 Chocolate Princess
Rag quilt, 1 rag Quilt with Amy Butler
and other fabric
designers fabrics) and a Christmas Soft/Quiet book.
Not to mention so many other projects, plus
a custom order for 25 dress die cuts that are
embellished or embossed.
I need two more arms, another day in the week
and a few more hours in each day.
Oh and no more stinkin' kidney stones.
I hardly drink soda, but I do take a medication
that wihout it I am miserable, so guess what.....
every year around November or December
I have to suffer thru another round of stones
and stents. This year I told Nate, no matter what
I am not going in until I am so sick I have
to go in the hospital.
If you've never had a stent in your kidney
and out your ureter
then you are in for a real treat.
Here I'm whinning about my little stone, when
one of my Aunts is facing a huge battle with
breast cancer at 37, that's only 2 years older than
me and my very best friend lost her nephew last
week the day before his 21st birthday.
I guess I should just hush and go to bed,
G-night.
I am so proud of Chase...
In October he was named to the
Principal's Honor Roll and
now in November he and one other
student out of 848 students
were named student of the month.
Keep up the good work Chase.

Not sure what is up with the funky smilehe has in pictures these days.

I do.................
So this has been my story lately...
First I canned peaches, then pears.
Then it was the Jalepeno Jelly and
now it's apple filling for pies, crisps and cobblers
and Apple Butter.
I'm not even half way done
and this is my second night.
4 cases of apples...I maybe out of mind???
This Apple Peeler Corer Slicer is the best thing on earth. I bought it from Pampered Chef
around 10 years ago and it's still going strong.
Best investment ever.
Yummy sauce for the filling...
My funny boys had a Fear Factor Friday.
They were served:
Buggars and Pickled Eye Balls,
Hair Ball Salad with Salvia Dressing,
Ice Cold Pee and Kitty Litter Cake.
Not one of them at the tootsie rolls (kitty poop).
Chase wouldn't even eat the Hair Ball Salad.
Chase was Jengo Fett for Halloween.

Bargain...Gonga...Gosh'o Deal
I messed up and now you can
get this Mommy Minder for only
$6.00 smackers
click on the link below for details:
Ok, I have finally managed to get a set of the
baby slippers done, but I am not
satisfied with the toe. Not round
or straight enough, so take a peak.
I'll be posting a pair (HOPEFULLY) tomorrow
on my Etsy.
They are super cute and it's like getting
2 shoes for the price of one.
THEY ARE REVERSABLE !!!
How cute is that.
Check back tomorrow, sorry...

Another sneak peak. I love this
"I AM A CHILD OF GOD" fabric.
Blue flannel, red chenille, red cotton,
polka dot flannel and cotton stars.
Should be a good one...
Check out my blog and ETSY this weekend:Infant Mary Jane Shoes
Mommy Minders
Art Folio with Chalk Cloth
These new items will be added
this weekend.
Have a great weekend.

I have been dying to get this fabric cut,
pieced and stitched into a quilt. It will be
incredibly soft
as it's made all from cotton, cotton flannel and
cotton chenille. Can't wait to see it finished...
By the way, see the scissors in the middle.
My sweet husband bought them for me this
weekend. They are the Gingher Brand and if
you sew or quilt I would highly
recommend them. I was so tired of having
numb fingers from clipping my quilts and I
think Nate may have been tired of hearing
me complain about it. They are razor sharp.
They are pricey, so take your 40% coupon to
Joann's and pick up a pair.
For details on this cute Pirate Mouse
Rag Quilt, see my ETSY Store.

Check out this site and her lovely quilt.
I sure hope that the winner is me.
Hurry times almost up to enter this one.
First Grade pictures are here.
And just who is this handsome little guy???
Well my son of course, and yes I am partial to him.
He is very sweet and compassionate,
but at the same time all boy.
He is funny, stubborn and can make me laugh.
He's getting so big, I'm not sure where thelast 7 years went.
Chase, I love you. You make me so proud
to be your mom.
Yes, I know a totally sop 'o post.
It amazes me that this combinaton with
a little liquid pectin can produce such an
awesome flavor.
I must admit while it's boiling
it absoulutely smells as if it
could burn the hair right out of your nose.
Try it with crackers and cream cheeseor
tortillas and cream cheese
or
english muffins and cream cheese
I promise you'll love it.
I am canned out for the week.TIME TO SEW........
My machine is feeling neglected.
