there's another project for the kitchen I was working on during all the tweaking
for the chairs to match the runner on the table along with possibly curtains but my homespun is hiding from me today lol but no worries I'll just buy some more ~lol~there's plenty more to get into this week~lol~ here's a sneak peek at what I made today, can you tell what it is? ~lol~

Maurine is trying to get me to make my big mamy with babies & a big ole goose pattern up this week , humm that's one of those "just for me " projects, this week is unfinished projects but she may talk me into it, you just never know! ~lol~

SEWING WAR DAY TWO

well here we are at day two, the week is young right? LOL Maurine thinks she's ahead & it appears that she very well may be but not for long LOL, tomorrow I will think long & hard as to what to tackle, second thought make that before I go to bed LOL there's something about my project today that's just not wanting to pan out, I think it may be from smelling to much paint, that's my story & I'm sticking to it ~lol~ anyways today I went & got a few new toys to help speed things along~lol~

see my mess , I am working, on a big mess at the moment but tomorrow will tell the tale LOL

do you know what this is? LOL

SEWING WAR: DAY ONE

well I did get something accomplished today lol, worked on the fellowship hall over at the church most of the morning so today was mainly a cut out day, I mentioned to Maurine I was doing pillowcases, she replies "piece of cake" ha ha in normal situations yes this would be true but, after half way into the cutting I realised there wasn't enough to make the borders in the coordinating print soooooo had to think think think with the brain,homemade pillowcases run a tad longer than store bought so that's the size I went with so I could get all the borders, trims bla bla bla the same on each pillowcase, these will be sur nuff custom made LOL, tomorrow I will pull my quilt out that I started with my Aunt(we wont say how long ago) LOL it will take working on it a little each day to get it finished, I have spent way too much time letting these pillowcases give me fits & Maurine's just been buzzing away over there, you can check on her here
