Well, with staying with my aunt and only home in the a.m. to get ready for work and the evenings alttle to get ready to go back I have did zinch. I know you are all saying well that isn't anything different. LOL!

I was up at Joanns yesterday and got material and some craft items for projects so ...... Tom. is a holiday but I have to go to take Aunt Imogene to the doctor in the a.m. so hoping to get some craft time. But my house needs attention too.

Everybody have a GREAT crafting week and lets hear what you hope to work on.

My goal if I get work time is baby items for a shower on the 23rd. Will be my first great niece.

Hi everyone! Lana, I'm sure your aunt is loving having you to help her thru all of this!

I've gotten a few things completed this week for my upcoming show. I've posted them on my blog and attached the links below. I still have lots more that I would like to start and finish. The show is in 6 weeks.

Besides sewing, I've gotten a few knitting projects done too. I'll post pictures of those later in the week, I need to sew a couple of buttons on one of them. I sew during the day and knit at night while we are watching tv - got to keep my hands busy!

Another week that is going to be as busy if not more so than this past week was so not too sure if anything at all will get done again. But I can say that I am one proud mom tonight. Today was CNY cheer competition, last night as the girls were leaving thier final practice,hair,pizza party the coaches asked them to do them a favor and bring it all to comp. and they brought it. Lots of tears again, but tonight they were tears of joy not sorrow the girls took second place and we are on our way to regionals in two weeks. So we have had a great weekend. Varsity players won their 21st homecomeing game, Makayla's football team won thier game which puts them in 3rd place in upcomeing playoffs, and today the girls took second place.

I am putting pictures of a couple of the shirts on my blog right now with todays pictures of course

I'm new to the boards and glad I found you! This week I have to finish decorating pumpkins (http://www.tipjunkie.com/pumpkin/). I'm doing #3 and #8.

I am washing and drying pinecones to make pinecone door hangers.

I have to find the panel I bought to make quilted Christmas ornaments.

It's sale weekend at JoAnn's Fabrics and I have a list of needed items for Christmas presents.

Welcome SierraMtns!
Those pumpkins are gorgeous! I too have been collecting pinecones, just don't know what to do with them yet.
