Rosie's doll

I've been sorting through all my fabric and deciding what I want to keep and what to get rid of. It can be hard parting with some of it so I'm trying to find new ways to use it. It has been a long time since I've made any dolls, but this is a good way to use smaller pieces instead of just giving them to Goodwill. I also found this old pattern and brought it back to use. This doll is going to a little girl named Rosie.

A long overdue finish

I made this quilt from a kit I bought from County Threads a few years ago while at a quilt show. I actually finished the quilt, had it quilted and the binding on but not completed. It hung in my closet for years just waiting. This past weekend I pulled it out and hand sewed  the binding. I really don't know why it took so long. I enjoy doing the hand work on bindings, I think I just forgot I had it. Oh well , it's complete now and has a new home in one of my favorite places in the house, the same spot I sit and do all my hand sewing.

Strawberry Whoopie pies

This afternoon I took  a break from sewing and did a little baking.

Working 9 to 5 ?

Ready for my first job interview.

Heather and I did a little baking last night. These vanilla cupcakes are the result of our efforts. I got the recipe here.

The Little Red Bicycle

This is my first time linking up with Lil Vintage Story Books.

 I picked The Little Red Bicycle because it reminded me of Bryce and Micah.

.

The story is about a little boy, Stevie and his birthday gift from Grandpa and Grandma.

 

Stevie receives a red bicycle but he is still too little to reach the pedals.

They put the bicycle in the garage until Stevie's legs grow long enough for him to ride.

Time passes, a whole year goes by. Many things have changed. His sister grows, his puppy grows, even Stevie has grown two whole inches taller! Finally his legs were long enough to reach and...

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Valentine's Day

A simple sentiment.
