What a weekend!

Today was my Stocking Class at Circa 15, it went really well and I didn't stop till an hour and half later. It was fun to see so many of my dear friends, as well as make some new ones. I think everyone agreed with me, that this is the fastest and easiest stocking pattern I have ever done. Good thing because I need do more stockings for my family ...before December!!!! They will have to be a bit different if I do them the new way, but as long as they are as big as the the other stockings...I don't think any one will complain!



So Saturday Jeff took Angie to her Volleyball game, I went to pick up Jenny from a birthday party. We thought our Sleep Over was over but ...we thought that if we could work things right on Saturday then we could have two more days together. Lucky for us...we got it all figured out so we got 2 more days, Yeah!
So we went to Mulbacks for their Fall Festival...just look at the fun we

Look at Angie's face, that is some serious coloring on that ghost sucker!

Then we found the stuffed animals... and so let's just say we had a bit of our time there!

 

Pumpkin  contests, photo props!

After Mulbacks we headed home and then got showers and clothes out and ready for Sunday, then movie and popcorn before we went to bed.

Then Sunday after church we decided to create something.

 Our first concern was for all the animals in the house, where do they sleep at night? :) So we decided to make some blankets and holders for them to sleep in!

 Then once we made some for their animals...we thought of a few more animals that might need a home and place to stay. I was able to get them adopted today! Sweet!
Now can you tell why I didn't blog for awhile? I am still tired, happy... but tired!

Day 2 of Christmas!

Today was Day 2 of Christmas, so Angie and I got up and went over the class demo staging, she is already learning so much. I love her desire to create! She was excited to come to work with me today. We had a lot of ladies turn out today, it went great and they really loved the block. I just love teaching these ladies, they are amazing and have become such dear friends to me. It has truly been a blessing to be their teacher.

After 3 hours of teaching, we had to stop by the Machine shop to have someone help me with my Serger, the tension wasn't right on it. Angie was a trooper and so patient, I know she liked it but it made for a long day. 

We came home and had dinner again on the deck!

Here she is with what she earned for working with me today. Susan let her pick out some fabric. I let her pick out an animal for helping me for 3 hours. She loves her stuffed animals, just like Lauren did when she was young.

..

Then we went outside and worked a bit in the front yard. She had fun trimming the bushes.

.After that, we headed to the store and then came home and watched a Movie. Jeff called and said they were fine and going to bed for the night. He said it was a beautiful drive today! He loves his motorcycle and the freedom it gives him. I am so glad that he has that, he is an amazing man and works sooo hard for our family, he certainly deserves it!

We first thought that maybe our Granddaughter Miss Oakley might be coming early, because Krystal hasn't been feeling good. It ended up that she was really dehydrated so they took her to the hospital for some IVs, now she is feeling better. Still praying for her safe arrival. I can hardly wait to see and hold that baby girl!
Good Night dear friends!

QuiltCon Day 1

Today I got up early to go to QuiltCon at the Convention Center here in Austin. I am working like I said in my girlfriend's booth and so for a few hours, I just did a demo for the Quilting Disks...sure wish that I would have practiced way more especially since everyone came by and was watching me. I did a lot of hearts, flowers and butterflies...still some of the ladies that didn't free motion much themselves, thought I was doing great. I told them to come back and see me on Saturday and I should be doing much better:)
Then Krystal came and picked me up and we had lunch at a French Bakery, it was neat and the crepes that we had were great. Fun to be with Krystal again! Love that girl! We stopped at the Michael Miller Booth and they had cards for you to write on and explain what you love about sewing, then they took a polaroid photo of you and pinned them up on a board. So this is a photo of a photo!

Krystal laughs at me because I am REALLY NOT INTO TATTOOS...but they had temporary sewing tattoos today, so ....I broke down and got this one...

Isn't that too funny?

They had a done of cute and fun Temporary Tattoo Booths but then then that had real Tattoo Booth and they were so crowded...the temporary one is all I could do, but we had fun photo opportunities at least!

I loved this booth by Windham. Loved how how they displayed quilt blocks. That is a great idea, especially if you liked to doodle!

I have to admit that being back in this Fair. I love all the Venders, I loved being one of the Venders and meeting all the new people there, especially people who love and enjoy some of the same things you do. I think I was born to sale, when I love something... I truly love to share it with others!

I am a lot like Superman....he gets his energy from the Sun and I get mine from PEOPLE!
So I got a lot of great energy today! Need to head to bed so I can get some more tomorrow!
Good Night dear friends!
