A FINISH AT LAST!!!!

CAROLINA CROSSROADS..... do you remember that? Maybe it has been waaaayyyyy tooooo long ago to recall, but last week I finally finished the quilt and right on time for the cold weather. My darling son is rejoicing and he immediately grabbed it up to sleep in....he says that he really likes it! Here are some pictures of it.....

Thank you God for our many blessings! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.....my prayers for those of you who are not doing so well, who are unemployed, who are suffering due to ill health....I pray to God that your prayers are answered.....Amen.

Ragdoll Swap

Pictures of my Daphne

DAPHNE SWAP!

I recently mailed a swap gift to Rosemarie and hopefully she has received it now....the swap was to make accessories from the Posh Pattern by Jackie's Desighns.... Again these were a pleasure to make and embellish.... I hope she enjoys her gift! I used a black and white batik along with a Laurel Burch cat fabric....I so love Laurel Burch's fabrics and designs....

LITTLE GIFTS

Here are pictures of Kate's gifts. They were made from patterns by Jackies Desighns. If you click onto the title; it links directly to Jackie's website. I really enjoy working with her patterns....they are easy to read and ease of construction make them a whiz to complete.... Thank you Jackie! The tote is Posh Pattern De'Sire'e and the accessories are from the Daphne' pattern! Hope you enjoy them Kate! Oh I forgot the fabric is Maison de Noel by 3 Sisters for Moda

RAGDOLL SWAP

SOME STUFF DONE, YET NOT POSTED!!!!

Cherie and Kate are my rag doll swap partners and they have come through and sent me my dolls; I am now working on the gifts that go with their dolls (cause I'm late)!!! I really enjoy swapping, but am going to take a long break from them because I cannot seem to work fast enough to make the deadlines....never on time!!!! It is the injury...some days I cannot work at all! Both ladies are sweet as can be and very patient....I hope they enjoy their dolls and "stuff". Cherie has already seen her little lady...so I will share a pic of her here today.....

GOOD DAY!!!

I am officially an OBAMA MOMA!!! Yes, I voted today and as I stood in the line (lucky number 13....my place in line) I began to think about how many times I've voted in presidential elections....My first vote was cast in 1976.... today makes 9 times.....that makes 34 years of voting.....YIKES.... I am starting to be a part of history....well, I grew up in Staunton, Virginia....town of about 25,000 with may be a population of 500 people of color....I wonder now how those folks will vote today....wonder if their attitudes have changed over the years.....some change is good! I believe Obama will bring about a positive change overall.... I am very happy to be able to VOTE! Having a say about who will represent some of my ideas and concerns is important to me..... VOTE!



UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!!!!!!
BARACK OBAMA .... THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!
