LITTLE THINGS DAY TWO

my day started out with a long morning at the dentist for a cleaning & deep cleaning, deep cleaning is where she goes between my gums & tooth all the way down to the root yea ouch! but with lots of happy gas & numbing everything came out alright lol! it’s back Fri for the top, now onto happy thoughts!

what’s this got to do with today’s project?sew25

well I had to make a pattern, after a long long nap after coming home from the dentist I went into the sewing room & measured my sewing machine, made a  base pattern, cut everything out, I used the old timey strip block effect,can you tell what’s happening so far?

it’s late & my mouth still hurts so tomorrow's another day lol! I will finish the sides & make a backing show & tell how I made it

LITTLE THINGS DAY ONE

what a day today! had a dentist appointment at my other dentist that does my deep cleaning etc., they didn't bother to tell me they’d move so image my surprise when my hand went for the door & a man steps out & says this is my house! oh mercy, omg! I’m so sorry I say,so I go round the corner & asked where’s they move, they give me directions which didn’t make sense , needless to say I got tired of looking for it & went home & called & so up another appointment e so tomorrow I will try again lol!

after the trauma of trying to break in on somebody lol! I went to check on a friend, we had supper then hit Hancock's for more fabrics, all was not lost today as I managed to cut out 13 more strips for my scrappy trip around the world quilt

speaking of little things , I love my little bird bath that holds my pins, when I saw this in Michaels on clearance I knew it had to come home with me & be the keeper of the pins! lol!

THINKING ABOUT PIN CUSHIONS

9a1513ef3b160865c3852a480394b6fa[1]

scrolling through my Pinterest board, makes me want to make pincushions, hat pins, anything related to pins lol! I haven't  had much time as I’d like to so send in the sewing room these days with dentist appointments, root canals, doctor visit’s , scans & more test , going out of town off & on to check on two of hubbys Aunt’s who's’ not doing too well

as I’m looking through my pincushion board I think of the  many small things that seems to always take a  back seat, seems like the smaller the project the faster right? so what’s up with that? anyways next week I hope to do a series of  small things, so keep an eye out for post that go something like this….little things day one….little things day two….

Hancock's has Kwick sew patterns on sale for 20% off & Vogue for $3.99 so off I go for more patterns for when I have time for more big things lol! if you follow my Nannas Place blog you’ll see I’ve joined the sew your own wardrobe for  a year challenge, so far the challenge is getting to the sewing room lol!

you can download the magazine or just click open, scroll scroll scroll to patterns,tutorials and more where you will find Hazel the Hare & Bunny Bowl fillers, you can then download, save, print , isn’t she just prim delicious?

I have her downloaded & can’t wait to make her, I will start up on making some Raggedies pretty soon, I’ve been so busy with the other blogs this one seems to have taken a back seat, I feel if I’m not making something Raggedy or Prim related, my readers aren’t interested, that could just be me lol! anyways that’s why I gear  more toward Nannas Place, I know that some  of my followers are strictly raggedy & Prim  lovers & may not be interested in  quilts that I’m making, sew alongs,etc., or are you? lol!
