Mosen and another "Peek"

This is my cat, Mosen. I don't know how many of you have cats but somehow they always manage to find the sunshine don't they? Isn't he handsome? I thought you might like to know that, officially, I really did lose another 2 pounds this week, bringing the grand total so far to 29.2 pounds!! If you have joined me on this weight loss adventure be sure and tell me how it is going for you too!


I have been working on my quilt. I hope to have a pattern available soon. Here is another sneak peek. I love how it is turning out and can't wait to share the top with you! Stay tuned.


In addition, you all remember that I left the church's quilt group right? Well one of the CL's was admitted to the hospital yesterday with meningitis. She is on life support. Please, if you have a quick minute, say a prayer for her and her family. I really appreciate it.

To Bee or not to Bee?

First I wanted to let you all know, in case you didn't already, the next installment of the My Neighborhood blocks for the month of November are posted on the website. The button on my sideboard should take you there. I hope you like them.

Next, I am skipping out on work tomorrow to go to Checker with PTM and our friend Cori (crazy quilt girl online fabric shop). It should be a fabulous day!

Looks like I am going to get to tag along to NY with DH when he goes to Flight Safety training in NJ next week. He will go to school and I get to explore NYC! Any tips?

Now about this Bee thing. I am intrigued by the notion of an "on line" quilt bee. I am seeing pictures and I am liking what I am seeing. I am still investigating the possibility of (maybe) hosting something like this. Now, all that being said, do any of you have any experience with this and if so please share with me. In addition, is anyone out there actually interested in joining in with me to do something like this?

I need to investigate here first. More later as the Vampire Diaries is on followed by Supernatural and then BED!!

Let me know what you think of the Virtual Bee idea!

The Day After Halloween

So yesterday was the day after Halloween. Kind of a let down type of a day for me since I LOVE Halloween so much. We didn't get very many trick-or-treaters how about you? DH and I were home alone too which doesn't happen very often. DD1 went to a friend's up north and she took the dog with her, DD2 was at college and DS went to E. Lansing to see DD2. So I put a few decorations out and we waited for the kids. It was so slow. So few kids, maybe because it was so cold.

Anyway, on Sunday DH had to leave for work and will be home on Tues night so I was alone. I met my friend Shelby and her mom for lunch which was nice. It was good to catch up. Once I got home though I had to decide what to do. I still needed to do laundry so I started there. Then I got to sew while I was waiting for the laundry. I walked into the sewing area to see Mosen laying on my sewing basket. How helpful!


Then I looked around and here was Autumn laying on the computer watching the screen. Oh, she must have gotten bored because she fell asleep there. Maybe she is trying to tell me I need to turn the heat on in my house, eh?


Now on to an idea I have been toying with. Do you remember this quilt I made for my son? He is a HUGE University of Texas fan and wanted that for his quilt. I designed this for him.


I met up with LTW today and she has had several people ask her if she would make this quilt for them or if she had the pattern for it. I can make a pattern for this, (It would be my first attempt at this). I am toying around with kitting this up also. What do you think about that? Selling the pattern and then selling a fabric kit to make the quilt? Do you think anyone would be interested in that? I hate to buy fabric and figure out yardage and all if no one would buy them. Let me know what you all think of my 2 ideas.

Oh...and happy 2 days after Halloween! VBG
