Red Work

This is a red work piece I bought at Old Faithful this summer

I used the fabric left over from the snowman quilt to make the pinwheels and borders.

I was using a denim needle, and the machine kept getting gummed up, so I went to the store and bought a size ten needle, and a quarter inch foot.  Can't believe I lived this long without one!  :0)

It is a wall hanging and measures 13 x 16 inches.

Catching Up 2013

I have done a few things around the house lately and thought I'd show them here.  First, for my birthday, I got a 1950s credenza from a yard sale for $15.00!  Yay!  I also got a "fainting couch" from an Estate Sale in great condition and perfect for my sewing room.  So, I added both to the sewing room , which took a lot of rearranging, and badabing, badaboom, a fabulous new look: The view from the door, to the left. Panning to the right. Continuing to the right. The sewing machine right next to the door.  The ironing board stored.   Super comfy fainting couch.  Perfect for napping while I watch TV. The corner behind the door. One Sunday, while listening to the talks in Sacrament Meeting, I heard this great quote from Plato regarding self-control.  The talk was about fasting.  It was a really good talk.  So, I asked, Sister Gina McQueen for a copy of the quote and cut it out in vinyl and hung it on the ceiling going down the stairs.  Chris sa

Pumpkin pie

We got one pumpkin out of our garden this summer.  It was smallish.  I cut the corn stalks and tied them together and put them on the front porch with the little pumpkin next to them foe decoration for October.  November 1st I threw out the cornstalks and moved the pumpkin to the other side of the door, and I thought, "I wonder what it takes to make pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin."  So, thanks to google, I found a  Website , and, voila!  Mike and I made two of the most delicious pumpkin pies in the history of our pumpkin pies!  No time to take a photo, one is history, the other is in the freezer!

FYI

I have set my settings so that you may comment even if you don't have a Google account. I don't know if that is a wise thing to post because if some Tom, Dick or Harry is Blog hopping, I may get comments I don't want. So, feel free to leave a comment. Also, I'm pretty excited, I went out and bought a photo printer. Now I can print my photos at my leisure and not feel overwhelmed scrapbooking 900 photos of Israel, or Christmas! :0) It is very cool, the picture quality is great and I can print from my card, my camera, or the computer. And--I'm a thinker--cause it will print Mike's pictures and the kids pictures too. It won't recognize my phone card even though it is an SD card. I did have some pictures I wanted from my phone. I'll have to work on that. I have an adorable picture of Ann and Mary in hairnets from when we went to the Cannery in Boise in 2007. Chris wants me to put out there that there is a movie called "City of Ember" tha
