Saturday Post

Good Morning Everyone! I do apologize for taking so long to check in again. Lots of crazy stuff happening here.
First and foremost, I regretfully must say that someone has shot my beloved cat, Izzy. It shattered her left hind leg and the only way to save her is to have it amputated. I'm waiting for the doctor to call me now to see when we can schedule the surgery. She is here at home with me resting, I hope peacefully. We are giving her antibiotics and pain medicine twice a day, which does seem to help her sleep.

On a happier note, we had our first preproduction meeting for our short film, Birth of a Salesman, on Wednesday. We enjoyed a nice meal with some of our cast and crew, and then proceeded to do a cold read of the script. I think we are going to fare quite well with this. I know we are all excited to get the ball rolling. I would like to give a special thanks to our hostess and producer, Joan Howard (and you too Richard!).

And last but not least, here is an update on the "Moondance" quilt that my Mom and I are working on. We are each doing one, but they are both the same. We have the main blocks put together and have added one border. We only have two more to go! We purchased the majority of the fabric from Fabric.com. Not only was the shipping incredibly fast, but I am very pleased and impressed with the quality of fabrics. Free shipping too on orders over $35.

Well, it's off to do more organizing. One more week until the yard sale. So many things left to go through!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Good Evening

Hello out there in Blogland. I just had a nice romantic dinner on my freshly painted screened in back porch. Candles lit everywhere! I am already enjoying this wonderful fall weather.

Well, speaking of candles and light, I finally hung the wine bottle tiki torches I made. I won't take all the credit, I found the idea online...but it looks so awesome to me! And believe me, they really do put out a lot of light. I hope I can talk my friends into saving their wine bottles for me so I can make more.

























I also had my first welding lesson with my Dad last Friday. He was instructing me on puddling and beads. Even though I want to rush right into making something, I know I have to practice, practice, practice at this before I can actually put two pieces together. But I am very excited. I found the inspiration for the first real piece I want to put together. Would love to share, but you are just going to have to wait....and so am I cause I have to practice, practice, practice!! LOL




Hope everyone has a great evening!

So my friend asked what she had to do to get a wreath on her door. Well, I just made one up to surprise her. Now hopefully she won't read this until after I give it to her. Man, I really do Love surprising people. Hope she likes it!!!

Spooky

Well, I finally finished the simple Halloween wreath I was working on last night. It took me a few coats of paint to turn the wreath black, but it worked out ok. Just don't look too close...LOL
I could have taken it a million directions but decided to go with simple and sparkly.
Now it's your turn...go make something Spooky!

Beautiful Saturday Morning

On Saturday mornings while my Dad is in Dialysis,  my Mom and I get together to work on various projects, mess with plants, or just go shopping. Right now we are working on another quilt called the Moondance. We don't have an actual pattern to go by, but we do have a picture. We've started to cut out pieces and put a few squares together just to see how it's going to look. I'm pretty pleased with it, although I'm not sure if we'll get it done in time for Halloween since we are making one for each of us.


I also decided to spray paint a Christmas wreath that I have (not my brightest idea). I'm hoping to transform it into a Halloween wreath. I'm still working on getting most of it covered, so I'll have to keep you posted on how that goes.


Well it's off to purge and organize. Need to have a yardsale and make room for my new craft studio (hint to my hubby!). Enjoy the rest of your beautiful Saturday!

The Very First Post

Wow! I can't believe I actually sat down to start a blog. I've been threatening to, just too lazy I guess. Now I get to show my craftiness (whatever that means) with the world. Come along on my journey and see what I'm up to. Maybe we can inspire each other. Enjoy!
