CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!!!!

a full day...of...

STUFF! I got a new dryer....my old dryer was 16 years old and it recently developed dementia..if it was set on cotton, it would just do air, if it was set for 20 minutes, it wouldn't cut off...so it left today...I bought it when my youngest son was still in the hospital trying to gain weight...he was 3 months premature and I had to leave him in the hospital for 3 months after birth...to gain at least 2 pounds...so the dryer was special , as is he...but like all things we love, they must leave ...hahaha, turned that around on ya, didn't I?...anyways...love my new dryer and all it can do...wish it would fold the clothes though!

I finished the binding on another mini wallhanging...the pile is going down.. I want to find an Oriental/Asian button to go in center....and I made 3 sets of napkins to add to gifts this Christmas.

I also made a sweet potato pie...BUT my hubby decided he wanted a broiled hot dog so right in the middle of baking, he turns the oven on broil without even noticing I had MY pie in there...and by the time he realized it...the edges of my perfect crust had burned...the pie turned out kinda wierd because it rose really fast and then fell...but stayed puffed...tasted ok, but not great...so I will make another one when he's NOT AT HOME!

...and to show you I am over being perturbed at him...LOOK what he can do with plants...Mr. Green Thumb he is!

This is his doghouse...lol, I mean toolshed....

Friday Finishes

I finished 3 wallhangings this week...alright, so they only needed binding (for months) but they are done and they are way cuter 'in person' than these pics will show...I am a lousy pic taker.

The flower mantle one is not going to be placed like that...I just hung it over the picture frame till hubby can mount hooks for me...I loved making it and it's so not perfect...but it's fun and now I can see what size I need to make to go up there...bigger is better! The den is a hard room to do...it's dark and one whole wall is brick with the fireplace...it's the room we all hang in, drop stuff off in, don't care how it looks... but eveybody gravitates to this room...it's big, it leads outside, it's right off the kitchen/dr...it is way overdue a makeover...but maybe next spring!

The blue one is from Carol Doak Celebration block on her Yahoo groups site...been a long time finishing (when I get to the binding part...I put it down and then forget it..bad me).
The Wonky house one is from an old Foundation Piecer magazine...if you want to know, I'll look it up for you. Just glad to have gotten a few unfinished out of the PILE!

Finally! he has something to do

I may have my quilty, sewing, crafty side which comes with lots of physical items (and has taken over at least 3 rooms in our house) BUT my hubby, The Burn, has got his 'green' on. I started noticing boxes with clear lids in odd places in the house a couple of weeks ago, then they'd disappear and more would return...on top of the fridge, on my dresser, on top of the entertainement center, on my (antique & never-to-be-touched-by-anyone) buffet, on the suede bench in the LR. Now had I looked closely at these boxes, I would have seen DIRT, but I am a bit ADD, so I just mentally noted it and went on to whatever else was invading my mind. And , of course, I forgot to go back and see or ask him about it. The Burn has been growing seeds, too early I might add, because he has apparently had to re-seed then 3 times. They were in their places around the house due to the windows that get SUNSHINE......the plants would sprout and then search for the sunlight and in 3 0r 4 days be too big to plant because it's too cold outside...don't take my word for this...because The Burn goes into a trance of information and giddiness when he explains growing 'stuff', thus I go into a trance of oooo, boring, smile and pretend to listen state of mind, so I didn't really get all the info.

We had a beautiful day yesterday, still chilly and The Burn took a half day off work...he mowed the yard and was outside a long time, I decided to take him some coffee and found him with (I counted what I could see) 22 different containers of sprouting seedlings (y'know, the kind with 24-48 compartments) and some huge flower pots full of teeny-tiny plants. He's on a roll. His pride was a pink plant (beautiful) called the Mandevilla Trellis, he wanted a red one but...he got a PINK one.. his hyacinths are blooming and he always plants gerbera daisies for me.

ALL I want is color and it looks like I am going to have lots of color this year. WOO HOO!

Show me yours so I can show him ...and it will drive him crazy seeing stuff he doesn't have and covets... and then he'll be too busy to see what room I take over next with fabric and sewing machines.
