We're recovering from a little bit of driving & a lot of orders.

So today is going to be simple, short & sweet.

hmm what else can't I part with...I'll think on it.)

Vould you like Halloween?

Pizza Box Block

Done in the knick of time.

I don't usually procrastinate,

but had a bit much going on this month.

Didn't get around to making my Pizza Exchange Block til now.

This log cabin is Susan's. We had to make something that would coordinate.

Here are a few of the other blocks.

Hmmm....which one do you think I made?

Well, you know it's not e.

Photos are dark...ugh.

It's late.

It'll do.

Quiltmania No. 79

Now that is a pieced quilt.

Rich brown with all of those little triangles.

oooh, let's start on that tomorrow.

The pattern is included in the new issue of Quiltmania.

Another oooh, the blocks are offset/wonky. Interesting.

Enjoy a little Dream On.

All of your comments made me smile.

Good ones, thanks for sharing.

Missed you last week!

Due to technical difficulties, the giveaway didn't happen.

Sad.

I had barely any internet access & Des' service crashed for a couple of days.

(Still loving your new cable service?)

Baby Shower Time!

Pink and Orange are the theme of the day.
Had lots of fun working with these groovy colors.
Some of my favorite!!

Kimono Shoe Tutorial here.
Can I just say that these were the easiest thing
I've ever made and I had put them off for soooo long.
I should have made them with my kimono!
But I was scared.
What a nerd!

Quilted Bib Tutorial here.
Would like to make these by the dozens to have on hand.
Who doesn't need a quilted bib??
In fact, looking at some of MY shirts, I need a quilted bib!

Dress Pattern here.
The dress fabric is from a vintage sheet!
I found it and I died and went to heaven.
I'm home now and I made a dress with it.

Birdy Rattle here.
I don't think she sells the pattern anymore.
She just makes the rattles to sell.
And they are the CUTEST.
She also has a fabulous tree now, too!!
But she has loads of cute crochet patterns.

I'm off to the party.
I sure hope she is having a girl.

The Love Boat

"Come Aboard,

We're Expecting You...."

Well, as much as I would have liked it to be The Love Boat.
We actually went with the whole family, including Grandpa
....to Alaska.

I don't think I've ever officially introduced the family.
Meet:
Shadowman, Lizzie, Harry & Bella,
me & Rick


We sailed out of Seattle on Holland America's Oosterdam to

Glacier Bay, Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan & Victoria, BC.

~

This ship had amazing youth programs.

They had a ball.

Shadowman wanted to climb the totem pole.

"Yes, I know you could, but that would not be a good idea."

Oh, this little guy. He is full of it.
He did so so well.
Ate everything put in front of him, and
was so much better behaved than I ever hoped.
No teeth grinding or meltdowns...as good as it gets.

This is my new favorite
picture of the girls...on the Lido deck.


And meet Grandpa.
He keeps us entertained with his
enlightening comments.

I love my dad.

A wonderful trip.
Alaska is as beautiful as they say.
Hot. Who knew? Got a little sunburned.
We all dragged our winter coats with us - waste of luggage space.

Glacier Bay -- got to see icebergs 'calving'.
"The Love Boat soon will be making another run.

The Love Boat promises something for everyone...."
