Wonderful Quilt Top and My Kid's New Blog!

Good Morning! I have decided to go through my vintage quilts and tops, etc. to see what I can part with. You've seen my room. You know I HAVE to do this!

Anyway, here's the first one I decided to sell. It is amazing! I'm actually selling it because there's not a lot that has to be done to it. I'm yearning to get back to rescuing and giving re-life to those old things that can't be used at all as they are. This is what I first did when I started this business and the thing that most feeds my soul. I'll share some of those with you later. Today I just want you to enjoy this wonderful piece while you can.....

In other news--- My kid is now a blogger! If you knew anything about my wonderful child, you would be as stunned as I am. Anyway, she has a recipe blog. She was a highly successful Pampered Chef consultant for 5 years (which is another shock in itself! Not the successful part, but the cooking part!) and had to give it up to spend more time with Cameron and his sporting endeavors. OK-- they're partly his Mom and Dad's sporting endeavors, too. She has tons of quick and easy excellent Pampered Chef type recipes. Check out sportsmomcooks and see what you think! I just looked at it right now and she has a memorial to my Mom out there. Makes me want to cry......

Happy Valentines Day!!

Hi Everyone! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend filled with lots of enjoyment with those you love! I listed some Heart Feedsacks on eBay this week and thought you might like to see them and a few others I dug out. I guess hearts were a pretty big theme back then!

This first one is very unique! The red hearts are actually FLOCKED! I have a green one like it, too. Only flocked sacks I've ever seen!

The thing that makes this sack unique (other than the fact that it is very cute!) is the black background! Did you know that black backgrounds are the rarest color in feedsacks?

This one looks more like bridge cards, yes?

One of the cutest!!

I like this one alot....

Polka Dot Heart Flowers! Too fun!!

That's it for me! Our snow is long gone and in the 50s today. Know that those of you on the East Coast are in our thoughts and prayers. It's been an interesting winter for sure! Blessings~

SNOW!!!

Good Morning!

Here's what we woke up to today! I know it's no biggie to those of you in northern climates, but it's a treat to have snow here and not just ice! The last pic is of Mr. Bill looooking gooood and having WAY too much fun! Have a great weekend...

Fabric Sale!!

Good Morning!

Just wanted to let you know that ALL my Repro Fabric is now listed for $4 or less in my eBay and Etsy shops in case you're interested. It includes Rise N Shine as well as some older pieces from Bees Knees and Sugar & Spice. When it's gone, that will be it!

Have a great week!!

Happy New Year!!

Hi Everyone! Boy, did I miss you! I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas and are ready for the New Year! I had a great month off. I've decided it's a good thing that I have my business because I'd be worth nothing if I didn't! I just piddled and played and didn't accomplish a thing. But it was great!!

We took off before Christmas and went to San Antonio. We had never been there before so we really enjoyed scouring the town and finding interesting things to do. We stayed right on the Riverwalk and the weather was great and we got to eat outside every evening as the following picture can attest--

Here's what Bill was looking at--

TONS of ducks on the river. Great entertainment! If you've never been to San Antonio, the river is the draw. They run river boat tours all day long every day. Here's what the boats look like--

We opted for an evening cruise so we could see the lights. It was just beautiful--

Our hotel room was just OK, but the location was wonderful! Here's what we saw from our balcony--

And here is the balcony itself--

This is the hotel view from the river---

Anyway, we had a great time and really enjoyed our time away. We missed the great blizzard of 2009, but came home to a LOT of snow and COLD. We are having the worst cold period in 15 years. Supposed to be 3 below tonight. Brrrrrrrrrr----

We went to the kids on our way back home to celebrate Christmas and Kim's birthday. Here's the chair and footstool we got Cameron. Now he can "kick back and relax!" (his words).

I actually sewed a bit during the month. Almost have a piece to send to the quilter. Amazing, isn't it? Do you realize I did not sew for a YEAR??? It feels great to be back at it, even just a little.

My New Years Resolution is to try to be more balanced when it comes to work and taking care of myself physically and spiritually. I'm trying to spend a little time each day with the Bible and with my WiiFit. I'm enjoying them both immensely!

My best to you in the coming year! I pray for God's richest Blessings on all of my blog friends--

Merry Christmas!!

Hi Everyone!

Well, we did back-to-back 2 day Antique Shows last month and the Flea Market last weekend so we are through with selling antiques for now! In between those we helped a friend do an Estate Sale.

You would not believe how much we have sold. We started out with a trailer and 3 car loads and when we packed up after the flea market last weekend we got everything into 4 plastic bins and a few odd pieces. Can you believe it? Now just to get the garage sale stuff and Mom's furniture out of the way and we'll be in good shape!

So you won't be surprised when I tell you we're taking the month of December off! I'm putting my eBay and Etsy stores on hold (they're mostly sold out anyway!) and the blog to rest for the remainder of the year. We need time to recoup and spend with friends and family.

So my wish for you is that you have a Blessed Christmas Season full of the magic and wonder of it all! May you experience the peace of Christ and hold the Savior near to your heart.

We'll see you in 2010!!
