Lots of Fun Stuff Today

Yes, another birthday last month. The pesky things seem to come along every year, don't they  ?!?!

My dear sister sends me a wonderful box of gifties every birthday. 

 Gypsy was very interested ;-).  My goodness, lots of sewing notions- great for my quilting obsession hobby. The light quickly came in handy since the bulb on my Viking just burned out. I always enjoy the pocket calendar and Daily Guideposts book.

 Geeze, this is a very nice Avon watch.  ( I sold Avon at one time and was my biggest customer).

 Is it ok to wear it with my best jeans and big-shirt? LOL, I'll wear it when going to dinner with hubby.
   Thanks big sis- you always make my birthdays special !!!

Chilly Silly 2014 BOM progress.

Egads, I had the hardest time putting theses blocks together. Simple sewing but the WOW kept getting sewn wrong side up and then I kept sewing my HST backwards. Finally made it easier by sewing the three WOW pieces into their center row then the sides.  The seem ripper in my b-day box came in handy.   (((sigh)))

 I rounded the carrot nose pattern. The pointy nose was so cute but I was not sure how to get my blanket stitch to look right when sewing around corners .

 The blocks are finished, eyes will be sewn on after the finished top is quilted.  I'm thinking about using little black snaps for the eyes. Plenty of time to think about it.

 Now to figure out how to post my row to the BOM Flickr page.

Yes, it does freeze in AZ.  Last night we had a little rain and lots of frost this morning.  My DH noticed the frost pattern on truck hood.  Snapped a quick photo before sun could melt the pretty swirls.
