Super Bowl Weekend

I will get the business of Monday posted first and then on to the fun stuff.  

Weigh in was on Friday and I lost 2.2 more pounds for a total of 6 pounds so far.  uh...good think I don't weigh in on Mondays, LOL, the Superbowl food was too good.  Although my stomach is really upset this day from last nights food.  I need to stick to my regular diet!

Stash Busting Report.  I need to do this tomorrow.  I left my binder at home that has all the info in it!  So, I will post that info tomorrow.

I put the borders on "My Neighborhood" this weekend on Saturday.  Isn't it pretty?  I will take it to LTW on Thursday after I show the CL's on Tues and the CHV ladies on Wed.  I also drew each house for a pattern.  There are 24 houses.  I am going to get LTW to scan them and then I will post 2 each month for a BOM for all of you to do.  I will get close ups of the houses I did so you can see what I did with them too.  Sound like fun?
You can see that the cat inspector was hard at work to make sure each pattern was accurate.  I had the house on my light box and Hallie wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly!  Only the best for you guys!
I haven't talked much of the "S" quilt I wanted to make from the graduation squares I had from DD2's HS graduation (3 years ago now).  I finally decided what I wanted to make with the squares.  I designed a BIG block "S" to be done in the white squares.  I then split the quit diagonally from the upper right corner to the lower left corner through the "S".  The left side is done in all blue squares and the right is done in all green ones.  Why you ask?  Well she attended "S"alem high school and now attends "S"tate.  Salem's colors are blue and white and State's are green and white. (I hope this makes sense!)  I had laid it all out a few weeks ago and so I pulled it out on Sunday to see if I could finish it.  Done!!  Now I just need to make the back and get it to LTW.  Again, I want to show the ladies so it will go with the other one on Thursday.  

How was your weekend??

Stash report and a free BOM

I have found that Ann at Bunny Hill Designs is putting up a free pattern every month of different baskets to thank people for buying her designs and fabrics.  She is really a sweetheart and her patterns are adorable.  Hop on over there and get her latest design!

I didn't do a stash report on Monday I was just too busy but here it is:

Fabric added this week:   3 yards

Fabric added YTD:            3 yards

Fabric used this week:     3.5 yards, plus 2 charm packs

Fabric used YTD:                3.5 yards (2 charm packs)

I bought the tree fabric and it arrived so I had to count that.  I ordered the companion fabrics for the cat panel wall hanging so that arrived too.  The border fabric for the baby basket quilt was ordered but did not arrive so that will go into next weeks total.  All the fabric used was for the baby basket quilt.  That makes me feel really good about myself so far this year!

Now many of you are looking to lose weight in this upcoming year and Sharon at Red Geranium Cottage has issued a challenge to help us do just that.  I have been following but have not officially joined up, still thinking about it.  I will probably be a closet joiner!  I could stand to lose about 70 pounds (yes, that's right you heard me correctly, 70!)  Hmmm, maybe I should be out of the closet at that, LOL!  If you see the diet logo appear on my side bar you will know that I have joined.  Also you will see my glorious before photos and have to hear about it but hey, if you love me you will want me to be healthier.  Maybe if I know you are all supporting me it will be easier huh?  Do you think you can help a sista out with that kind of support?
