Finally, a day of rest!

 
 
  
I have a happy heart! 

 
Because the......

is over!
And
this is what was left!


Moving on----this is my new sewing spot in the apartment and ready for creating new projects!


 

This is our kitchen...small but very efficient!

 

 
 
This is what we have moved so far...... 
 
 
Two chairs and a table. 

 
The moving company will bring the other things on the 14th!
 
Then in Febuary our new home.
 
 For now, we will have a restful day with family and hope you all are having the same!!
 
Hugs, Carolyn

    I am not surprised that you had a successful garage sale. You had very nice things for sale. =) I wish we could have come to see for ourselves, but i couldn't be tempted. Property taxes are due this month. Boo and hoo...

    You did good! A small kitchen can be very nice and saves steps with everything within easier reach.

    You are living in your 'old' home till the 14th? Then move everything. Isn't it difficult to say 'good bye' to that beloved place?
    But I am sure you make yourself feel at home in the temporary and the coming one. You will create a warm and comfortable atmosphere in there. Lots of love!

    For an apartment, that is a great kitchen! Maybe not much floorspace but a wonderful group of cabinets and cupboards!
    Hope you are getting rested up.
    Nice that you have a good sewing space.

    We spent 5 months in an apt while our house was being built. Even though it was so much smaller than the house we had been in, I just really enjoyed it. When ever we pass by the apt building we say fondly, that's were we lived. That's were we had to walk the dogs in the rain. We have fond memories. I hope you will too! I unpacked and decorated it all in a weekend - cause I wanted it to feel like home right away. I see you have your little spot with your machine, so it's looking good for you!

It's That Time Of The Year Again!!

Fanny likes decorating for fall ...she has her little pumpkin pale and ready for beggars night!      Made this quilt a few years ago. One of my favorites!  "Bad and Happy Jack's" a Fon's and Porter design. Some are happy and some are bad🤐 Love the candy corn fabric. He is a happy camper!! He is not happy..where is my candy corn! Tee hee 🐱maybe the cat ate it!! Another must is Mr. Scarecrow. I was in a swap and "Montana Weber" was my partner. We made and exchanged three pumpkins for each other. These are the ones I received from her yesterday...look who has them now!!  She should receive hers Monday. A wagon full of pumpkins.   Miss Witchie saying.... "Boo & Scare"! Always fun to display the c.c. stitch pillow hanger. A "Lizzie High" design.   Made some Salsa a few weeks ago ..still displayed on the counter. 😊 Below are the Hummingbirds trying to fatten up before going South on there long journey.   Have a great month!  Stay safe. ...

Hello, How Are You All Doing?

Thinking about all of you during these trying time and hope all is good with you and your family. Found this statement with a special message for all of us giving up "Hope". Thought I would share with you as to what I have been doing while being home with Gene and keeping busy! Made this shoulder bag to hold my cell, necessary information, and my mask fits around the strap,---  "handy"! Made a new small patchwork bed quilt for "Miss Hitty"!    We have 6 grandchildren. Three boys and three girls. Three grandaughters have graduated from ISU . One grandson is sophomore at ISU and other grandson is attending UNI . I have made graduation quilts for all six. Our youngest grandson, Joe graduated from high school this spring and is now attending ISU in Ames, Iowa.  Had fun finding plaids and ISU prints for incorporating into the design of this quilt...a few of these plaid came from grandpas shirts....this is "our" secret,  okay!!  Joe (3) licking the bea...

New Year, New Ideas, Projects To Work On and Packing up Christmas 2016!

planning my next projects... Digging into my lace box, so much fun! I layered some lace trims together getting ready to make a zipper pouch. This pouch inspired me and was pictured on Rag Bag Gals Group (on Face Book).    Then, I saw these two bunnies...more fun ideas! Started this table topper before Christmas ---as you see, didn't get it finished. I plan to finish up and it will be ready to use next year!  Christmas treasures of 53 years ready to be packed up. Here we are--- Mrs and Mr Clause. Santa is saying "Bye, Bye  and Happy New Year Dear Friends." Sharing with each other our sewing,quilting projects and fun craft ideas is always so inspirational! Thank you. Hug's, Carolyn
