Streets of Seattle quilt , one done in Christmas fabrics . To me it seems a bit complicated but I am a simple person and easily confused LOL
 

Beloved winter designs. They've been around forever . Given that we see how nice they are in a quilt.

Part four of Santa in the pines. If  you have done parts 1,2,3, This is the last act LOL. This is a nice little Santa and the surprise is fun.



Only people born in the past few years will see another 12-12-12 or
even 01-01-01 Haha.

 
This morning I cleaned up my sewing table, It seemed to be the repository of
all my sewing stuff, pincushions, fabric, cutters , scissors,thread. What on
earth happened. The cleaning lady is coming today so we had to tidy things
up LOL. I changed the cover on my filing cabinet which I use as a night
table, no other place for anything. I put some of the embroidery print outs
away in the binders. I keep all the ones I have done so I can look at them
when in the mood. Made lunch and now I am tired and have to rest. Later I
must get another towel ready to embroidery but that will be after the CL is
gone.

Well she left and I did  not embroider anything. However I did have a short nap and then Richard called. We had a long talk. I need to stop fussing about his illness and support him instead of him supporting me. I realize that this is what I have been doing. Not a good thing for him. He knows I   love him and I don't need to keep reinforcing it. So from now on I will be a lot stronger and keep my pain to myself. The time to cry is much later.

Ray had to go up to the insurance agent to reinsure my car for another three months. I haven't driven it since I first got sick in January 2011, but I keep hoping. My poor little Mustang is just sitting in the parking garage. I haven't been able to decide who it goes to. I thought that Peter would be good and so would Jim.

Cute little wreath pin made from a yoyo. just add a ribbon bow. Go to Lazy Girl Designs for a more accurate pattern.
 
Look at all the beautiful pillowcases that my friend Gail  made last year before she became ill. She actually made a lot more but it is hard to get them all in one picture . They sure look lovely Gail.
 

 Good little girl to
 "Sit on a pillow and sew a fine seam." Only a little girl  could sit on a pillow on the floor LOL.
 

Now you guess what the caption should be and let me know Haha. I just like the look on his face.
 
Get up on those legs boy. Isn't he a cute little Sharpei with all those wrinkles. Now if I could just feel that all my wrinkles would make me cute. Oh well!!
 

Into the bowl dear puppy ,sleep it off, then you are right where the eating starts.
 
Pals forever , well until the sun comes out.
 
Time's up for me tonight.
Have a great evening folks.
Kalispera.
