Monkeyin' Around.

 Hot off the press . . . 

 Who doesn't love vintage sock monkeys!!!

I am love, love, loving learning about my

new sewing "computer".  Two more weeks

and I learn ALL about embroidery.  Then 

watch out . . . I am sure that EVERYTHING

that is not nailed down around here will

have embroidery on it!!!!

#teamcooper Quilt

 A boy in Sam and Luke's youth group is

having some health challenges, so . . . 

 God and I, with a wee bit of help from 

Suzy-Q, whipped this puppy up to cheer

him on.

I took it to youth group so that all of the

kiddos and leaders could sign it!!

The boys and I delivered it today . . . quilts

really do bring big smiles to peoples' faces.

I.love.that.

H. B. Celebration.

 Mike and I got together with our

besties to celebrate a couple of

special October birthdays . . . Mike

and Donna!!!!  I have been wanting

to make my sweet friend a quilt for

the longest time.  Each of the fabrics

that I chose REALLY represent

my friend . . . wild, crazy, mismatched,

beautiful, cute, funny, whimsical.

 Donna loved, loved, loved, loved,

loved, loved her quilt.  She was

so surprised!!!  It was so fun to watch

her open it and to see her reaction.

Did I mention that she LOVED it?!?

 "The Donna".

Did I mention that she loved it?!?

 Oh, yeah!! Guy stuff.  We also

celebrated hubs birthday with an

exciting, cute, fun, cozy gun strap!!

 Men!

Gotta love 'em!!

Happy, happy, happiest birthday

Mike and Donna.

Did I mention that my girl loved

her quilt?!?

Deck the Halls.

With ONLY 116 days to go until CHRISTmas,

I am working hard on my favoritist holiday

in between all of the craziness around 

here including our very first day of school

this week!!!

I do not have a CHRISTmas quilt for our

home and am so in love, love, love with

this retro fabric.  It reminds me of a

decoration that you would have seen

in Gram and Grampa's home.  Luke frowned

upon me playing CHRISTmas caroles in

school . . . 

Love preparing for Jesus' birthday season!
