Happy Thanksgiving

I hope you and your families have a wonderful day. Both of my older kids have to work today so that puts a damper on the day. But I am going to try and enjoy it. Going the spend the day cooking and deciding where to go shopping tomorrow!

Create a Christmas Swap

Evelyn of Lee Hall Primitives has already sent me my package for the Create a Christmas Swap. We had to send a something to our partner to make something with. She sent me so many wonderful prim goodies! She used the material I sent on a prim doll. We also have to use a thrift item. Her thrift item was a cheese grater with she made into an arrangement. She is so talented. I love everything she made!

Secret Stitchery Angel Swap

I received my package from my secret stitchery angel. She spoiled me with so many wonderful things. She sent a needle book, patchwork pincushion, yummy chocolate, Australian Patchwork and Quilting magazine (I love Australian sewing magazines!). She also sent a Canadian notepad and keychain. She made a fantastic sewing organizer with goodies inside the pockets! Thank you Peg. I haven't heard if my partner has received her package yet. I hope she has and is enjoying it.

Early Black Friday Fabric Sale!

Our local quilt shop had an early sale because the owner is about to have foot surgery. 40% off everything. I was in heaven. I wish I had more money to go back. lol But I do have to buy presents for my family members. Making some ornies today. I am finishing up some candy canes right now. I am using the free pattern from Char of the The Pickled Pepper Patch. I love how they are turning out.

Some organization

I bought a cabinet and tried to organize my fabric. I have tried so many different ways and think I have finally won! lol But I still need another cabinet for my holiday fabrics. It was so hard to see the fabric in the storage containers and it was always a mess. Hope this works! It still could be neater, but it is so much better.

Advent Calender

I found this advent calender panel at the quilt shop and made it for a swap. It was alot of fun to make. I can't wait to make another one for my kids. I also got a wooden one at Michaels to paint. My older kids had one when they were younger and loved it. They felt special getting a little something every day.

I love Annies!

I didn't get a chance to post a pic of the Annies I received in Halloween swaps. I love Annies and can't get enough!

The first Annie is from Rebecca in Aunt Pitty Pat's Halloween Annie swap. The second one is from Sandy in the Trick or Treat Blog swap. THe third one is from Angie from Thimbleprims Annie swap. So many cute annies!
