Happy Thanksgiving!

One thing I always think about when Thanksgiving rolls around is football... I thought it would be fitting to show a picture of my "little" football player, and his dad (who also happens to be the coach). Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.It's my turn to work Thanksgiving this year, so no family time for me ;-( I do try to keep things in perspective, though. I am thankful for the ability to help take care of people who are unfortunate to be at the hospital during the holidays, and they certainly don't want to be there. At the end of the long day, I am thankful for my health, and thankful that I can go home to my family.

I saw this really cute wall hanging at the store- I think it was around Halloween when I saw it... I didn't buy it because, I thought "I can make that!" Well, the season has come, and now gone *gasp* and I think I should have spent the $10... Maybe it will be on clearance now???
Happy Turkey Day!!!!!!

Repro Siggy Blocks

Whew, I'm done! All 70 Signature Blocks are done for the swap. Just in the nick of time, I should add. But, if any of you follow me, then you know by now I always wait 'til the last minute! ;-) I am going to the post office to send them to Melissa. Looking forward to getting my blocks to see where everyone is from. I bought the Jo Morton book to use the same setting version. By the way, the seam ripper in the picture was no coincidence. LOL!!! I'm still getting to know my new machine...

New Movie... New Moon

I went today to see IT! What was it, you ask? Why, New Moon, of course! I love all of the Twilight books, and was not disappointed today, the movie was great! Even better than the first, I might say, and I also found out that the author of the books, Stephanie Meyer, has posted another version of Twilight on her website called Midnight Sun. Look under the Twilight Series tab. It is written from Edward's perspective, instead of Bella's. The unfortunate part about the whole thing, is that someone actually leaked an unedited version of the story, so that is how it came to be posted. It really saddens me that there are people who will try to profit or benefit from stealing someone's work. I just hope she keeps writing the story, because it is sooooo good. Go check it out. Really. It's good....and worth it. ( I guess I already mentioned that.) hehehe

Knitting along...

Still no quilts to show, since I can honestly say I haven't sewn a thing! My family priorities have certainly taken the forefront of all of my time and energy. For a while, I didn't even have a second to miss it, but I'm really feeling it now. Got to get that baby cranking!

I have been knitting a bit, and I always seem to gravitate to wools and needles this time of year....my scarf is halfway done. I started it to wear to the kids games- it's their team colors. Since the season is now over, I am not as motivated to finish it. I figured I'd start something else... so I started a purple sweater, and ripped it out, and restarted it. Currently working on the the third version, and I'm hoping the saying is true, because I'm getting really tired of starting over!

Happy Veteran's Day

Thank you to all of the men and women who serve our country, God Bless America!

Where does the time go?
