I found a great link to a new magazine here. It's a PDF issue and is well worth downloading. I found more info on the magazine here.

Welcome to the first issue of Needle Magazine! I can't wait to read it.

Challenge Quilt

After a few false starts I've finally decided on the basic layout of my Challenge Quilt. I'm sure it will change some over the next year ... it may even grow a row, but this is the basic idea. Now that I've decided on the look I want I'm ready to get to work and finish up the embellishing.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thanksgiving was a great time and the food was delicious! I had my camera with me but did not take any pictures. My sister-in-law took this one. Looks like we were all paying attention to someone! Hope everyone had a nice holiday and now it's time to get to work on my Challenge Quilt.

New Books

The mailman had a package for me yesterday and I enjoyed the afternoon reading these two new books. What fun!



The silk ribbon book covers a lot of flowers and I plan to try a few this winter when I have more time to stitch.

I never knew you could do so much with polymer clay. I will definitely be reading this book cover to cover to pick up her tips and techniques. Amazing work!

Garden season over

I cleaned up the garden this weekend and found some lovely peppers hiding deep in the garden. It's always nice to end the season with a few more goodies!

I'm working on it again!

I once again am working on dropping those extra pounds. It gets harder and harder each year! I bought a new pair of walking shoes this weekend and have found a friend to walk with a couple days a week so hopefully this will be the start of a downward trend.



I purchased this set of scales a month ago because I thought it might be fun to watch the ounces drop off. LOL ... what ever it takes to motivate me!

Lace and tatting

I don't think I ever showed you my newest stash additions! Cindy G. sent me a selection of these goodies and I love them. Thanks again Cindy!
