Christmas Gifts for Work Done and Delivered

I held off posting anything about these gifts because I didn't want to give the surprise away to the ladies I work with but their gift was a home movie night. My daughter and I found insulated bags with their initial on them that hold a six pack of drinks and I went to the computer and downloaded graphics of tickets and popcorn boxes and stuffed them with drinks, movie type candies and popcorn and enough $1s to rent a couple of redbox movies. They were all so sweet when they got them and made over them so much it made me feel so good.

Idea for Another Quilt


Look at this cotton fabric I found at Wal-Mart.  I love these colors.  I only got 2 or 3 yards (my memory is so poor I can't even remember what I ask for as it has been a few weeks back).  But my thoughts are to scan the chickens and to look for cotton fabric to match them and applique them to a block.  I'm thinking maybe doing free motion in a chicken wire.  Maybe a black thread on a white back ground.  I'm not sure how I am going to incorporate this fabric into the whole layout but I'll have to figure out something.

This will be sometime down the road as I have three denim quilts that I have to work on.  Going to do one for my sister and two more grandchildren that need one.

Bacon and Boys

Bacon & Boys what can I say.  My boys love it.  They come to the skillet before it ever gets to their plate.  I have 4 grandsons and one great nephew and when they all come this is our go to breakfast.  And they carry off pieces and I let them.  Something I never would have allowed when my girls were coming up but that is just one of the special things I do with the grand babies.
