Christmas Parade

Every year our little town has a Christmas parade, its short and sweet and we love to go. We have cocoa while we stand in the cold and watch the parade. Then go on a ride to look at Christmas lights, followed up by chillie…mmmm!

No snow as of yet to stick around but the floats and lights are pretty.

Don’t forget santa, not a great pic…he moves to fast, lol

And the “Abate” motorcycle club always give toys to the children watching the parade….Nathan is such a ham he received 3toys.

We Thank You ABATE !!

Happy Scrappy Spring BOM 2013

Here is my, April’s row from The Painted Quilt , Happy Scrappy Spring BOM. I used a dark blue embroidery floss #823 instead of the red instructed, as it fits in with our household colors and i have all boys, who majority seem to like blues.

Finished!

Well I finally finished the 4th book in the Twilight Sage this weekend, whew! BUT very worth it. If you are into the occasional vampire and werewolf book, a very touching romance and at least one excellent theme of action if each book, this series is for you!

"Tulip Bag"

Took a class last night and this is ,what acutally turned out to be, my ADORABLE "tulip bag". I am unsure exatly why its called a tulip bag, but think it has to do with the panels you cut, they reminded me of flower petals. It's suppose to only take two hours, but I have no idea when they start timing, as took a good hour just to cut all the fabric, batting, durabond etc, let alone all the sewing after that, more like a 3-4hour project. But still very worth it! (all I need now is a cutie button) The next pic below,shows my lovely pockets. I put two big ones and one small on outside, and one big with one small on inside... Look at all the stashing space! I did the JUMBO size, which is basketball size, so plenty big to use as a purse or, as I'm thinking, a knitting bag. But, who knows, it was easy enough that I could make several more and then use one as a purse too, lol.
