Busy days and nights

       Well the last few days have been busy and I haven't had time to blog. I helped a friend clean out a shed and I've been working on 2 baby afghans, one that had to be done today for a baby shower and the other one has to be done in the next day or two as it needs to get in the mail to a friend for a silent auction that she is doing.
        Finished the afghan for the shower and they loved it. Can't wait for the baby to arrive so we can get a picture of him wrapped in it. The shower was fun, I'm not used to guys being at baby showers. Back in 1978 when my son was born that was unheard of, now it's the norm. They played a game just for the men they had to put a large balloon under their shirts and then with feet flat on the ground see who could tie there shoes the fastest. We got a good laugh as they all said " How do you do this I can't see my feet!" We ladies that have been pregnant all just laughed at them cause we all had been there for the whole second half of our pregnancies not just a few minutes for a game.  Came home after the shower to discover our water bed has a leak!!!
      So we stripped it to try to find the leak and realized it must be on the bottom of the mattress so we have to empty the whole thing which has so far taken about 3 hours because it keeps loosing the suction and we have to go out and get it going again. So this has made it difficult to get the second afghan done that I need to finish. So I'm planning a late night to make up for the time I've lost with the baby shower and the leaking bed.
      I'm planning to make sets of juggling balls with a bag to store them in as my next item in my shops. Look for them by the end of next week.
      Going on a little mini vacation with the girls for the next few days so I'll be with out my computer. I'll write about our adventures when I return. We are going to  a casino and it's a first for all 3 of us so I'm sure I'll have some interesting things to share.
Goodnight and Blessed Be

     Well the wedding was wonderful. Here are a few pictures from the day of the happy couple.
     As some of you know I was making a quilt for them to use for guests to sign. They also used it to walk under on the way to the alter. In all the hustle and bustle I forgot to take pictures of the finished quilt, I do have a few of it while I was working on it. I will post them in my next blog.
    I've reopened my zibbet and etsy shops and hope to have some new items posted in the next few days. I've got some ideas for a couple of toys and some new afghans both baby and full size. I'm thinking of doing some quilted wall hangings with designs of trees, dragons, and other fantasy and natural things on them.
    That's all tonight, glad to be back now that the big day is over.
Goodnight & Blessed Be

Quilt update

First sorry for not blogging since the 2nd but as you know I've been really busy with the wedding quilt, butterflies and a few other things. So here is an update and thanks for understanding my absence. The quilt is done except for the ironing. I also need to put the coat of arms things on but they are being fused on so I'm doing that when I iron it. I had the hubby print them out on 2 different special materials that you use with your ink jet printer, one is a sew on and the other is the fusible. I was all set to use the sew on one when I realized the background wasn't white so it just didn't look good so I'm using the fusible one that does have a white background.

I didn't realize that when you put you shop on Etsy into vacation mode that it blanks out the photos on your blog . So sorry for the big empty space that is at the top of the page. The shop along with my Zibbet shop also will reopen on August 7th with some new items along with what was already there. Thanks for your patience this last month.


The wedding fast approaches counting today it's 6 days. I'm only the Mother of the Groom and I think I'm more nervous and excited then they are. I will post pictures and tell you all about it next week.

Well I'm off to make 12 more what I'm calling squishes, they are small crochet balls, for the little poppets that will be at the wedding. With the quilt and butterflies done I have a whole week here to play and so I'm going to make some things and use the kids at the wedding as test subjects to see if I should put them in the shop.

Enjoy your week, stay safe. Goddess Bless
