My Quilt Studio is About Ready for Move-In!!

We have all the windows in and tomorrow is the door and the vents.  Next week the roofer is coming to finish the roof with Weathered Copper metal roofing!!  I wanted to hear the sound of the rain when I am out there!!

I am so excited about the big window in the front.  It is 6 foot by 3 foot and it is going to be so nice to have all the extra light.



This is the view from inside!!  It is looking northerly!!


It is so close I can taste it but yet I have to wait until next weekend to start moving in!!

The Enchanting Rose 11th Tea Cup and Mug Exchange Reveal

Stephanie over at The Enchanting Rose hosted the 11th Tea Cup and Mug Exchange this Fall and today is the reveal of what we received.  I participated in both the Tea Cup and Mug Exchanges and was so blessed by the wonderful boxes of goodies I received!!

For the Tea Cup Exchange I received a super fun box of goodies from JoJo Hall who writes a wonderful quilting and travel blog,  Join the World Quilting Travel Adventure.  Now, most of the cookies and hot chocolate are gone now or almost gone!!  The Sillycow hot chocolate is amazing with a huge dollop of whipping cream on top!!


The tea cup and saucer are so unique, I just love it!!


Thank you, JoJo, you made me feel special!!

For the Mug Exchange I also received an amazing box of goodies from Cheryl Smith who writes the beautiful blog, Homespun Devotions.  Funny thing is that I don't drink coffee or tea but LOVE hot chocolate.  So, Cheryl spoiled me too!


The mug is fabulous!!  On the inside rim it reads "We the people of the United States of America . . . "  She told me she found the mug in an antique shop and thought it would be perfect for me!!  It certainly is, Cheryl!!

Plus she found out my favorite color (and fragrance) is lavender, so she added some wonderful lavender goodies to my box and a beautiful little book of sayings that remind one how fragile life really is.  One of my favorite sayings is "[i]t is not he who has little, but he who wants more, who is poor."!!  Thank you Cheryl, I love everything.  And by the way, all the ginger cookies are long gone!!

And thank you to dear, sweet Stephanie over at The Enchanting Rose for hosting yet another breathtaking Exchange!!  Hugs to you, girlfriend!!

Hexagon Flowers Completed . . .

Several weeks ago, I had finished my September flowers for Birthe and was ready to send them out when I realized I had made the wrong flowers!!  Yikes, I made the flowers for the gal one down on the list from Birthe.  So, now I have Birthe's flowers done and got finally got pictures of them before I sent them out today!!


Also, some of in the group are making heart flowers for gals in the group that are having health or other major problems in their lives.  Here is the flower I am making!!  Debbie, the swap mommie provided that darling angel fabric for our centers!!

My Cute Friend Tammy . . .

called this morning because she had only seen 2 weeks of Saturday Smiles on my blog and she wanted to make sure I was okay!!  I was happy to report that all is well here!!

This has been a crazy two weeks!!  Have you ever had a time in your life when you had so many things to do that you had no idea where to start getting things done?  Well, that is where I seem to be right now!!

We got the sill plate down on the two outside buildings last Wednesday and then the rains came down!!  And man, did the rain come down plus the wind was at about 25 miles an hour!!  Then, on top of that, one morning we got HAIL!!

One thing I did get done was get a new bed!!  Yay, now I am no longer sleeping on the floor on a thin camping mattress!!


Another thing that happened this past week is that I lost my camera, so no pictures!!  And then ANOTHER thing that happened is that I lost my phone!!  Went up to Coos Bay on Friday and got a new phone but I have no contacts until I find the old phone that I really believe is somewhere in this house!!  Yikes!!

So, I took this picture of my new bed so Tammy would know that my i-Pad camera works great and that I am safe and sound!!  Pictures are skeewampus because I just hung them where there were nails!! Ha! Ha!

Well, the sun is out and we are off to work on the studio today!!  Pictures to follow!!
