September tisket a tasket block done!!

Ready just in time. Tomorrow, Novembers block will be out and I am ready!! I had today off and made it my mission to start and finish this block and I did it! I am trying to get motivated to finish some things and get sewing, sewing, sewing for christmas!! Hopefully I will have lot's to show you over the next month :-)

I just thought these tarts looked so pretty. I made them a few weeks ago. Easy!! Just buy the frozen tart shells, make a custard and top with your favorite fruit. We added some whip cream on top...yummmmy!

October tisket a tasket block complete.

Being home all weekend with my two sick kids allowed me time to get my October block complete. I have to go back and make the September block now and this week the November block comes out!! I really want to get them caught up and finished so I can feel free to start some christmas sewing.

Pillow and cake class.

I wish all these were pictures of sewing projects I have completed! I miss my sewing room soooo much, I just can't seem to get motivated to keep at things when it's set up in my bedroom. Before, even if I had 10 mins to spare I could go in and leave everything whenever I wanted and not worry about how things were left. I have so many things I want to do!!

Anyways, I did take a beginners cake class with one of my best friends since moving back and on the last night we we learned how to make roses. I never dreamed I could make these. With practice they will be even better!!

I finished this pillow just last night. I was supposed to embroider little swirly vines coming from the stems, but wanted to have it done before halloween. I was sorting through the christmas sewing I have to do and it's lot's...I better get motivated in my new sewing space!!! ;-)

Fall....

....my little nephew is going to join in the leaf fight that is going on.

Love the colorful leaves.
This is the gorgeous view out front of my house looking down into our little village.

My poor little neglected blog :-( Things have been so busy with the move, settling in to our house and all the "life stuff". I miss my sewing room sooooo much. I did set up my sewing maching in our bedroom :-/ Not much sewing has been going on but I did manage to finish this pillow for my very very VERY dear friend Jody. I forgot to take pics so she took some for me. She loved it so much, it's her profile picture on facebook, lol. Don't you love giving things to ppl who truly appreciate it!! I made her a little tea bag pouch and she went on and on how much she just loved it...she is the sweetest thing and has been such a blessing in my life which is why I made this pillow just for her!!

Nie Nie is going to be on Oprah!!

Oh my gosh! I knew it from one of her previous posts that she was going to be on Oprah. She didn't say what celebrity, but she did say she was in "chicago" filming talk show segments...and today on a oprah preview, it showed a peek at her story!! I saw the family picture, it was her!!

Okay, for the few of you who have not heard of this amazing woman you have to check out her story. I first heard of her and her husbands plane crash a year ago and have followed her blog ever since. I was so intrigued by her that I went back and read every one of her blogs she had ever posted.

According to Oprah.com it will be on Wednesday. A few other stories will be shared the same day as hers. Wow, her story is so worth making it to Oprah, she is so phenomenal!

Her sister also has a blog, she is an amazing writer...smart, funny, witty..worth following her too! :-)http://blog.cjanerun.com/
