300th Post -Wow

I can't believe this is my 300th post. I was going to have a give-away then I decided to combine it with the March Good Egg give-away coming up so stay tuned for that.
The Cross Stitch chart below is my prize from Cheryl at Prairie Grove Peddler from a giveaway she had on her blog, I can't wait to stitch it it is so cute.

This bag is from a Challenge in my Cross Stitch group, I had alot of fun making it and made the fairy into a front pocket.My Hubby has been watching the Food Channel on TV, so I decided to see what he has learned from it and asked him to make me a fancy dinner. This is what he came up with. Doesn't that look good? It's Pork chop and spring salad, with peas and applesauce. It was really good and he made some kind of sauce for the pork that was mouth watering. Plus he made steamed shrimp scampi for before that, I forgot to take a picture of it, just ate all of it lol.

Then he made dessert, it's a cimmion (sp) sauce with litely browned pears with vallina frosting on the sides. It was soooooo yummy.

Also I changed my colors for March. Got alot of sewing to do this month.

Friday Night Quilt-in

As you can see my theme for this quilt-in was St. Patrick's Day. I sewed the table runner together now just have to add the backing. Then I also made a Plastic Canvas door hanger for my front door.

Then I finished the St. Patty's Day Manget for a swap.

I've also been working on some Cross Stitching but can't show that yet. i did alot of the cs while watching the Ice Dancers last night.

Hope everyone else had a good sewing time. Please clink on the Button on my side bar to see what the others have done.

Preping Wednesday- Part 2

Let's see where was I? oh yeah, here is a sneak peak at the fabrics I'm using for the Winter Mini Quilt Swap at Quilting Gallery. This is a Plastic Canvas Wall Hanging I want to make for myself, hopefully I will get it finished before St. Patty's Day. Then I have the PC St. Patty's magnet I have to make for a swap, I have it cut out just have to stitch it and drop it in the mail when I get my partner.
Plus, I have a PC Easter Swap, we have to make a medium something so I'm making egg coasters or the Door knob hanger not sure which one will go out to my partner or which one will stay here. Have to have them done before the end of March.
Then the next thing I have to make is an Easter Magnet like this one. This one I made a couple of years ago, made one for each of in the family and also mini bunny baskets that match.
I have one more thing I'm working on but I can't show you even a peak because it's a secret swap for a Cross Stitch Spring Bunny. Will show it when my partner gets it.

Well that's my plans for the rest of the month. I also want to get some of my UFO's finished.
Hope you have a great evening.

We've been changing things

Wow, what a difference it makes in a house without kids. The basket above Huby got me to go with my Panda bear Plate, isn't it neat looking? We have been adding things like glass covers to the bathroom ceiling lights and I'm going to be getting new shower curtians, now that I know they won't be distroyed. it's hard to tell from the picture but this one is cut crystal (below)

Then last night Hubby fixed some of my Hummingbird stuff that was broken.Then Hubby cleaned out this basket it had a plant in it that I killed. So we took the other stuff out of it , Hubby clean the rock water fall and took the electric part out of it and put it in Mr. Fishy's tank. You can see it in the back of the tank rightside.Then I got my tiger I Cross Stitched years ago back now he's in my sewingroom again.

Not sure what we are going to do next. I hope to sew this weekend and get my Fairy Breeze top done and the 9-Patch Star block done also.

Have a Blessed Weekend!

Yes, I do other crafts besides Quilting.........

The first picture is of a cross stitch I did not sure what I'm going to do with it yet...But I'm thinking something Summery, lol.

The second one is harder to see, I have to get my DD to explain to me how to use this camara and lighting. but, it's the afghan I'm crochetting for my Mom. It's in browns and blues and I hope to have it finished soon.

Tomorrow, I go over to my friend Amy's house she is going to teach me how to do binding on my quilts. Then we have to go to Deland to drop of the Mother's Day Challenge Quilts we all made. Not sure what I'm doing after that or how long I will be gone.

Then Tuesday night Hubby and I are going back to Deland for our SCA monthly meeting. Hopefully soon we can aford to join it our Kingdom is called Trimaris and our Shire is called " Shire of Vaca del Mar ". I have to start working on the skirt for it soon as we are going to the TRIMARIS MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT 2008 at Ocala Campsite on the 23rd. I want to make my own skirt and over skirt that I can were during the day, plus I have a dress for the Feast that night. I can't wait, I'm going to be going to a Tea & Cakes held by their Needleworks Guild. So, I will get all the information on that.

Well, I'm going to go see what movies are on tonight and work on my afghan.

Have a Blessed Evening!
