Friday

Some of you already know, but my oldest, Kate is engaged to her best friend, Chris, and their photographer just posted on his blog some pictures for their engagement....http://bit.ly/Ru7haz,  I hope this works, Kate & Chris are on there. 

When I started typing this it was Friday afternoon, and then I put the television on.....may God Bless and Be with all those families that are grieving.  What a Tragedy!!  I can't even imagine....those families my heart is just breaking for them,

All my hugs and prayers to them all,

Stitchin with my Friday Friends..

Hello All,

Here is what I worked on Fridday Night.....I saw this pattern in the Primitive Quilts Winter issue, so I thought I would give it a try since I absolutely love, love Snowmen....The muslin I picked was kind of different...I have had it in my stash for a very long time it is strips of muslin sewn together, that was the material, so I purchased it about 4 years ago because I loved the dimension, not knowing what I would use it for, well,.....I used it for my snowman and it turned out really cute (so far)

Here is a close up of the muslin fabric....I still have to put eyes and sew on scarf, and add buttons...but it was fun sewing all night, this is a  really easy pattern by the way....

Well, thank you ladies for letting me sew along,

Hope everyone has a blessed and safe weekend,

Many Hugs,

Mary

Just joined this group.....am going to post tomorrow what I got done....so exciting!!!  It's their last Fri meeing for 2012 but will start up again in 2013.... Yeah!!
  Hugs, Mary

Its Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday...

Hello everyone,

Yes, I think I have officially lost it.....picked up Christmas Cards I made of Cooper, my yellow lab male...my baby....yes, he is my baby.  He goes to work everyday with Hubby and I work for Hubby part-time, so he is always by one of our sides....He loves when we go to the Bank to make deposits from work because there he is greeted by the tellers with Bones - his fav!!! :)  Soo at halloween, I made cards and gave the Bank and the Mailman and coworkers one from Cooper, sooooooooooo I just had to make ones for Christmas..... want a peek?

 I put reindeer ears on him, he looked soooo cute!!!  Was a  little upset with me, though, did not like them at all, but he endured...Such a good boy!!

Alright, I will stop about my puppy dog but he is a cutie,

Happy Wednesday everyone,

Lots of Hugs,

Mary
