Wow, long time no post

As you can see I've been busy with different crafts and getting bunches of medical tests done. They finnally figured out what is wrong and why I'm getting dizzy, it has to do with my Kidneys so I got a new diet and stuff to do. Most of these are for swaps. Except for the Angel WH below and the Kitty TR.

Projects for October/Nov.

The above picture has most of the project I want to get done in the next month. There are a couple more in my list but I can't show pictures of them yet as they are swaps. :-p

Here's the List:

1. PC Wall Hanging- needs background finished.

2. Ostrich RR- first round

3. Angel Stitching- make into ????

4 Fall panel- make into Wall Hanging

5. 2006 Squishie Swap Quilt- do backing,quilting and binding

6. PC Haunted House - Finished 10-17-09

7. PJ Bear- make

9. 2009 Squishie Blocks for Swap
10. Crochet Amigurumi Toy for Swap 10-25-09
11. Crochet Hankerchief for Swap
I hope I can get all these done before November 9th. I figured if I put them up here I wouldn't forget to go them. it's kind of like the Design Wall Monday thing. So far everything i've put up on that has been finished in that week so we will see how well this works. Now alot of these projects are UFO's and have been around since 2006, so maybe I can get them off my list.
Wish me luck.

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!

Sunday and getting cold again......

Well, today I made a quilt top for when me and Hubby go to SCA events. It's the pictures above it's made of different Celtic knot pattern Fabrics. So this way I have something to sit on or wrap around me if I get cold. We are going to our first event next weekend, the 19th, I can't wait.

The third picture is of a Fiber Arts quilt I made for a Challenge this year. We got a bag of different fabric and had to make somewthing out of them. It was fun even though I didn't win.

Will it's starting to get colder here in Florida and it's supposed to be in the low 40's tonight and cold tomorrow. But I'm indoors so that's fine for now. Tomorrow I have to go food shopping and get my new glassess. Yeah, I will be able to do Cross Stitch again.

I had to put it on the table til Easter, it's a standing rule in our House that if you get something for a Holiday it's left alone til that holiday. But I don't mind as I get to look at it everyday. Her ar a couple of pictures of it on my dinner table.

Tomorrow, I go over my friends house for Country Quilter's and I'm going to be getting the pattern for the Winter WH so I can get that one done and hopefully posted soon.

New Crafts..........

MM & Hello Everyone,

Well, I've been very busy sewing this weekend. I got most of my Flying Witch quilted (will post scan when done). The picture above is a Thanksgiving Wall Hanging I made. I machine appliqued the turkey and I printed out onto muslin the picture above it.

Right now I'm working on a fish Wall hanging........It's done on hand painted fabric with fused black fish shapes that I traced from a coloring book on oceans. I'm adding a border and that it. excepting for quilting it's finished.

I have 2 Challenge Quilts I'm working on but I can't tell you about those yet.

I'm still doing the BOM's at Quilts Your Way Forum.
Also I'm starting on some of my Xmas presents.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Fall/Mabon Wall Hanging

This is a Wall hanging I made for Fall/Mabon. I used a grapevine shaped bell and then put leaves and things I found growing outside on it. Then i told silk leaves and flowers and hot glued them to the leaves underneath. I add the pinecones and lace bow. and the scarecrow for the top. The good thing about this wall hanging is I can take the stuff off of it and redo it if I want to.

Hubby said it looked really good and he wants to take me to Wal-mart or Micheale's to get some more flowers and leaves and things so I can make one for every season. I'm so happy I love going shopping.
