A walker bag

My little grandmother is 93 or 94...I can't be sure, she used to fib about it...lol. She is now having to use a walker...so I made her a walker bag. She can carry all her 'stuff" with her now. Water, tissues, $$, candy, socks...she'll probably throw her purse in there!!!! OR she'll ask me why I didn't make it big enough to carry her purse...she's still a feisty one! I will be going up Tuesday to see her...and spend the night... I used velcro on the handles. I need to add the buttons on the tabs or maybe some yo-yos.

Ariba...border progress made!



I made some progress...maybe 'challenges' are good for me...now it has to be sandwiched, quilted, embellished and bound....it should be ready for the first day of summer...but I said that last year! I need to get it down now before I stretch it out...then I'll have 'crooked cabanas' !







A pretty tree in the front of our house and a Scary Sally on my patio table (bad kitty).

I have been Challenged!


Sandra and I have a long standing UFO...and we decided it was time to get them finished. I want my cabana quilt to be hanging on the wall by the first day of summer. She is a lot wordier than me...I talk nonstop in person, and I don't type fast so my posts are shorter. Read Sandra Sews and 'see' how competitive she is! WELL....bring it on sister! Mine needs borders and quilting and binding....I may be farther along than she is (at this moment) but I have to watch her...she's FAST....and she has no grandchildren (yet) to sidetrack her projects! Our whole
"SPICY" group may be getting in on the activities and we have some very talented and FAST-producing gals...I may be outta luck...BUT I will still have it done by the FIRST DAY of SUMMER.

Pay It Forward

I have joined the Pay it Forward Craft Exchange. According to the rules, you have 365 days to send out your homemade gifts. I think I can get it to you way before 365 days...write it up on your own blog (yes, I copy and pasted most of this)...and I'll check before I send out your item.

1. Be one of the first THREE bloggers to leave a comment on this post, which then entitles you to a handmade item from me.

2. If you are one of the first three to make a comment, you are a winner! And you then agree to post this challenge on your own blog, meaning that you will pay it forward, creating a handmade gift -anything!- for the first THREE bloggers who leave a comment on YOUR post about this giveaway!

3. The gift that you send to your 3 friends can be from any price range and you have 365 days to make/ship your item. This means you should be willing to maintain your blog at least until you receive your gift and have shipped your gifts. And, remember it’s the spirit and the thought that count!

4. When you receive your gift, blog about it! If you are not one of the first three to comment on this post, you can still play along. Go ahead and start your own Pay It Forward chain, and encourage your blogging friends to do the same! It's all about paying it forward.

Email me with your address if your are one of the first three... Bella
