Flower Power Purse

Check out this adorable pink and blue purse with matching key fob.  The flowers were done with silk flowers cut off the stem purchased from JoAnn Fabrics and then added with french knots to keep in place.  Pink embroidery for the circle and then  lined.  I think this purse is adorable.  I will take this one to work to see anyone wants it and if not I will post it on Etsy.  I just love it and might have to keep it for myself. 

Prayer Request and Happy New Decade

My lovely husband Kevin decided to surprise me with Baked Blueberry French Toast this morning.  I had a kidney biopsy on Tuesday and got out of the hospital yesterday so it's no lifting for me for a week and lots of rest.  He is very good at taking care of me and it's hard to let him since I am the nurse in the family.  I have been having tests and seeing specialists at Hopkins since November trying to figure out what is going on with my kidney and liver.  They think it's autoimmune but they are not sure, thus the biopsy.  So if you read this and would like to keep me in your prayers, it will be greatly appreciated! 

Meanwhile, if you are interested in making this WONDERFUL decadent blueberry oven french toast, he got it from the internet.  It is by The Liberty Hill Inn in Yarmouth Port Massachusetts.  Here is the link to the recipe. 

Pink and Blue Baby Quilt (Fassett and Paganelli together) and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

A new fun quilt just finished ...this one is for my Etsy shop.  The pink fabric is from Kaffe Fassett called Scarlet Stencil, the blue is Jennifer Paganelli's Royal Amy Dot Stripe from the Bell Bottom Collection and the border is Debbie Mumm.  The back is pink flannel.  I just love the two fabrics together.

Go here to see this one in my Etsy Shop! 

Kevin's Quilt is done!

Kevin is very happy with the outcome.  He even posted it HERE on his BOGO (brotherhood of Grabber Orange) forum, a mustang club that has a dot net website.  

This is his favorite design, the lone star quilt combined with the colors of his car.

Purses are done!

Abigale, Emma, Madison, Tatum, Stephanie and Sarah will all be happy little girls for Christmas! 

Merry Christmas
