Meet Blue

Queen 1 had a make up lesson yesterday and rode a new horse to her and the barn. His name is Blue. Yes, he does have one blue eye. He is from Colorado and is a roping horse. He is a little on the thin side, but will get plenty of food and care now. They got along really well and she did good keeping him from zipping off at the speed of sound. They even tried out barrels. I was the cheering section on the side. Not a bad way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Elephants are Next

Queen 1 helped me out with this one. She gave me the idea and then I found these embroidery patterns from Flickr. Not to sure of the author of them. Fabric is from Joann's and ZandS fabrics. I cut it out last night and began to put it together. Might be done by Tuesday. I can't believe it's Friday already. Seems like it was just Monday. A very busy week with a busy weekend. We get to have dinner with some of our favorite people on Saturday so I'm looking forward to that. The girls each have a party to go to. And some exciting news. My Sister has bought her first house and settles on Monday or Tuesday. Very excited for her and her kiddos. Give me a big Wahoo!

Tree Mailbag

It is done. After breaking three needles just getting the handle sewn on......someone is telling me to clean the house and stop sewing. I have about four more things on the brain and I should start writing it down before I forget. Yippee skippy one more done!

In the works

Embroidery is my design inspired by the fabric. Spent yesterday at the sewing machine as it drowns out the noise of the house being built next door. I will say this....they are moving along at a fast pace and have the two upper levels framed in. I think the roof will be next.

I shouldn't post new things when my head is in such a fog but wanted to say Hi to all. I think I need another cup of coffee. I'm almost done with above project and when it is complete I'll post pics. Last night I drew two more owl patterns to embroider. One will be a hand bag. the other a mini quilt wall hanging I think. I'm very much in the zone. A really sweet thing was last night both queens asked if they could do what I was doing and we picked out stuff for them to trace on the fabric and then they asked how I did what I did to make it look like that. Pretty cool for the mommy. So all three of us had our hoops and needles out as we watched tv with Soulmate.

Dog Lover

Tee Hee. Tee hee. tee hee teehee. Oh the happy sounds. Fingers are strumming together and giggles delight. I finished it and it case you couldn't tell I'm very happy.

A little house

Good Morning! How is everyone with the time change? I'm good now. It took a few days though. No horseback riding lesson for Queen 1 yesterday so I spent the afternoon sewing. Can't tell you how much that bummed me out. Right. Piecing together a little bag. I'll post pics when it is done. I have the handles left to put on the dog lover bag and it is finished. It is a big bag. Funny how these things take on a life of their own and you look at the finished project and think "Wow, not what I thought of when I started, but cool"

Above is a house I painted during Queen 2's party. Madeline suggested the wreath on the door. Kids have the best creative thoughts. I have five more houses to paint to create a little village. That is for another day- today is about sewing. By the way Joann's is a very dangerous place this week. Many things on sale. I was very happy yesterday- good remenant finds and 1.99 fabric. And I'm off to try and not shred fabric and see if I can get that straight line thing down.

Great Day!!

Upcoming project- love owls!!!

Queen 2 is such a rockstar at tennis she is getting to go up to the next age level for the upcoming sign up sessions. She is a little nervous but it is the next step and she can do it. Hanging out with 10-14 yrs old. Sorry the pic is blurry- constant movement. So proud!!!

My Primitive Stitching swap received- made by Tammy. Thank you so much. I love the mesage and the smelly goodness you sent along with it.
