Not much else to report...just waiting for the Oscars show to start tonight.

And...A Finished Object (FO)

When we moved from CA to AZ August of 2010, I brought my sewing machines and some scraps with me in the car and not in the moving van.  I started this quilt while we lived in a corporate-sponsored apartment while we got the lay of the land and looked for a house.

So finally, this week, I finished this quilt.  I love the scraps and it's very YELLOW...hence the name Lemon Zest.  I couldn't get a picture to show exactly how yellow it is.  I quilted it on the longarm with a pantograph pattern called Popcorn and a lovely varigated sage thread.  I usually don't do pantographs...don't like working from the back of the machine.  And after this, I've decided I REALLY don't like them!  But it went fast and I learned alot. 

So here it is...in all its yellow gloriousness...can I get a WHOOP WHOOP!!!

Enjoy...leave a comment please!

What a great afternoon today!

This past Tuesday my daughter, who lives in Dallas, called me and said that Leslie Blodgett~~grand exhalted poobah of Bare Escentuals~~will be at MY MALL today from 6-7 PM! Please go for me, she said. OK...I agreed. Well, my daughter posted on Leslie's Facebook page that I would be there to see her. We discussed exactly what I would wear and even the jewlery.

So I leave my house at 4:30; get to the mall. The girls at the store take my name and check me off the list. One of them looks up and says "Are you the mom?" Yes I am! She turns around and says to everyone else...Hey...it's the mom from the FB page! 

So I hang around, have them put makeup on my eyes (which I hardly ever wear), and just wait for Leslie. She shows up...she's amazing. Whoop whoop! She starts talking about all the current products and new products and such. Then she said we could start taking pictures with her. I stand in line...I get up to Leslie...the mgr of the store says to her...This is the Facebook mom! Leslie says OH WOW~~what a nice thing to do, aren't you a good mom...etc. And I got a great picture with Leslie. My daughter was OVER THE MOON!   It really is a good picture. It was a great afternoon. Thank you, Leslie.

Another Sunday night

Didn't have a very good day today.  But it will be better tomorrow.  It's all relative, right?  I needed to wash my good comforter and it was too big for the washing machine.  Water all over the laundry room floor.  Everything I sewed wasn't right and had to rip it out.

But something I did do today turned out OK...so far.  I love love LOVE Laura Calder on the Cooking Channel.  I love the background music; I love how she talks~~SO French!!  Her show is French Food at Home.  She makes it look so easy.  Anyway, I made one of her items tonight for dessert...Chaussons aux Pommes...basically sauted apples in puff pastry.  SO yummy~~Here's the recipe

No stash change to report today.  But it's day 50 with no-fabric purchase.  Yeah and boo.

Glad you stopped by...leave a comment.

Sunday

It's Sunday night.  My day of Skype sewing with my group from CA was terrific.  I always like getting together with them even if it's over the wires.  I'm missing the comraderie that I had with that group.  Haven't found it here yet where I"m living now.  I just gotta keep trying. 

Sitting here watching the Grammy's.  I miss Prince's strong presence at this ceremony.  He used to rock the house.  And I miss Michael.  Although with both of them absent from the stage maybe some others will have a chance.  I'm not dissing anyone, but some of this music I just don't get.  Don't understand the words, can't dance to it, and there's no beat.  I give it a "2".  Give me the 50's, 60's, or disco any day.  THAT you can dance to and the only song you really couldn't understand the words to was "Louie Louie"!!!!  GREAT song though! 

And what about Whitney?  So tragic and sad and totally unnecessary.  It didn't have to happen at all.

Didn't have a stash report today.  Didn't use much last week.  Mostly quilting on the longarm.  Hope to get the binding on Lemon Zest this week.  Then I'm done with it and on to the bed it goes.  Use it for awhile before it gets too damn hot here in Arizona. 

Tuesday

No sewing for the past couple days.  Didn't do much today either.  Went to the dentist to have the permanent crown put on.  Man...was that tooth sensitive.  They had to numb me up before they could work on it.  I spent the rest of the afternoon in pain.  Usually putting the permanent crown on doesn't bother me, but sheesh!

And...38 days with no fabric purchase!  :)

Week 6 stash report

I haven't done much this week. Battled a headache for almost 3 days. It's yucky. I hate headaches. Anyway, I did make the binding for Lemon Zest. Here's my numbers~~
