Happy February everyone! I have enjoyed this month so far. It has included a fun swap that Viv from <a href="http://vivs-whimsy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Viv out on a Whim</a> had this year! What a fun swap this was and a fun challenge for me, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

As, you can see, Viv really did a great job of spoiling me! I sure had fun opening each little present that she individually wrapped for me! I had an empty spot on my old Singer sewing machine which made a great place to put all her wonderful Valentines! She made a cute decorated Valentine box, a beautiful deer Valentine on a spool, a sweet girl on a swing, and the sweetest heart ornament with a key! She also included plenty of chocolate to keep me smiling, and some pretty towels for my kitchen! Do you see those cute paper globes? I have never had any of these before! I am excited to use them in my decorating throughout Spring!</div>

I am really amazed by Viv's talent. I am thankful for her swap and the challenge it provided for me to flex my creative muscles. Bloggers are the most talented people and doing a little something outside of my comfort zone is fun in a challenging and learning way!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sent Viv a package of Valentine fun as well, which she kindly has posted about on her <a href="http://vivs-whimsy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>.</div>

This wreath has mostly vintage ornaments. Look at that little Santa Claus face! He makes me happy! The adorable little elf is new, but so cute that I had to include him!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bear is a Vintage Avon toy, but was still new in the wrapper! He is the cute toy that inspired me to make this wreath! I knew that when I found this sweet bear that he looked fun and needed an entire wreath to display him. Haha!<br />
I just love home make wooden and felt Christmas ornaments. Do you remember making them when you were little? They remind me of my childhood! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hung this out on my front door for the picture so all the colors would look true and vibrant, but this is a heavy wreath, so I think it is better for a wall! I can see all the cute faces and homemade ornaments all the time that way!</div>

Yes! She is another fun and super talented sweet lady! These swaps are so much fun for so any reasons. But getting to know another blogger a little better is always the best part! Patti, was also very understanding that it would take me a little longer for getting her gifts made, as I have been suffering so many frequent migraines. I think I will call her Patient-Pattin-Patti!

Hello! What have you been up to lately? </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I been hanging out at thrift stores a lot this year, haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found some great things including these sweet dolls. One is a Bendable Pixie that lays on your bed. I think her face is so pretty. Another favorite is this little blinking eye doll! She also has the sweetest face!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I discovered the red doll bed a while back! It even has a sweet little decal on it and it is red! I just had to add it to my collection of toys, which was small but is growing!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My sister blessed me with this beautiful set of vintage Pyrex Cinderella mixing bowls! Aren't they stunning? The pattern is called, Friendship. It was such a generous and thoughtful gift. The color is vivid and they are near perfect!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also have fun playing with the photo editors. I like this black and white version!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I been suffering from so many migraines this year and now they are up to 4-6 six days a week. So that is miserable along with Fibro, etc But I keep a positive attitude as much as I can. Tend to get behind on many things and that can bother me a lot, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I always pray for tomorrow and that it will be better!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pray you are doing good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God bless you,</div>

I have spent a lot of time this year working on my Booth #B112 at the American Classics Market Place, in Colorado Springs. I sell vintage home items like the antique depression glass cooky jar picture. and also some of my own crafting and sewing. So I am hopefully going to be even busier between now and Christmas with making a lot of fun things for my booth. Here are some cloth stuffed pumpkins that I made. Wish me luck!<br />

I tend to be the slowest person in the world when I craft or sew or crochet, etc. It is a wonder I ever finish anything! As a matter of fact, I have plenty of unfinished projects that I will be working on again right after the New Year! Do you do that? Stop before a project is finished?<br />

I can not believe how fast this year is flying by. My brain is not accepting that summer is over, let alone that we are coming up on winter. Oh yes, the leaves have changed and most have dropped. It was a wonderful display! I am blessed to live in Colorado where we have such long Indian Summers. It might get cold, but warms right back up!</div>

Hope this finds you all happy and healthy. </p>
<p dir=ltr>I just had shoulder surgery about three weeks ago and have been trying to heal from that. Makes it almost impossible for me to do any crafts very well! Haha! </p>
<p dir=ltr>Have you been making crafts and doing hobbies? I opened up my own booth in March. Selling vintage and some sewing, crochet, etc.</p>
<p dir=ltr>It's fun to finally get to do this. I am located in Booth B112 at The American Classics Marketplace, in Colorado Springs, CO</p>
<p dir=ltr>The end of the school year is almost here, so looking forward to more time with my children! I don't really have anything certain planned for the summer. But hoping to fit some road trips and vintage hunting into some family time and sight seeing! </p>
<p dir=ltr>Wishing you all the best Mother's Day! God bless you! </p>

Seems to be a happy dance between sunshine and snow! <br>
But I am thrilled that winter is over. The grass is starting to turn green and the bushes are begining to bud.<br>
The first thing I hear in the morning is the sound of birds chirping and scattering about just outside my bedroom window. <br>
On the porch, our vacant birdhouses have new tenants!  Little sparrows have moved in! The bird feeders and bird bath are full of activity! <br>
Out in the yard we have several families of bunnies that play and tumble! They never cease to make me smile. <br>
I am so happy to see the new life come to my yard in the Spring! HalleluYah!</p>
<p dir=ltr>How are you enjoying the Spring?</p>
<p dir=ltr>Blessings</p>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Merry Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are enjoying this Christmas season! What ever you do whether it be crafting, shopping, decorating, baking, etc... May you be so very blessed and enjoy it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spend time with the people that you love. Let them know that you love them. Be a blessing in someone elses life. Let yourself be the gift. Giving of a smile a hello is sometimes enough for a stranger to be very touched.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know this has been such an emotionally tough year for me. I haven't been blogging like I used to. Sometimes, I think that I have nothing to offer here. But what I do know, is that this has opened up a whole different world of blessings to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really started my blogging journey with the thought that I hoped to be a blessing to someone. Even if it was in the smallest way. And of course, to bless my heavenly Savior.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The thing I didn't expect was all the blessed people I would come across and be a blessing in my life as well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to come visit my blog. Thank you for the kind comments. Thank you to the ones that have reached out to me when I am hurting. You are all wonderful. I am thankful for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
May you have a blessed Christmas! May your lives be filled with joy and love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you God for all you do! Thank you for your son. </div>

Merry Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How is everyone doing? I sure hope all is good. Are you ready for Christmas? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am spreading some Holiday Cheer today! I want to share this cute Christmas video. It really is a very wonderful version of <i>"Let is Snow"</i> sung by the cast of <b>Star Trek Next Generation</b>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I know many of you may be thinking, "No thanks!" But I really do urge you to watch this. I am almost positive it will make you happy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here it is:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I really have to give this guy, James Covenent, a hand that put this together!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope this brightened your day!</div>

I hope you are all staying warm, having fun with your crafts or sewing and cooking. I know I don't blog much anymore and I am sorry for that. The time involved has been tough for me to blog weekly recently. I have so many duties at this time to attend.</div>

I will be making the turkey and doing a lot of the cooking. Thankfully my family is pitching in with the help and even bringing some of their own delicious side dishes. My favorite dishes are all the traditional foods: turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, veggie, cranberries with a few changes to flair things up a bit. </div>

I still am thinking on what other pies to make. Maybe pecan or apple? Both? Haha!! Lets face it, Thanksgiving is also about the food! What a wonderful time to enjoy our bounty that God has blessed us with!</div>

My older sister made me the prettiest apron for my birthday. She
stitched it all out by hand. She dipped into her vintage stash of
fabrics from her dear MIL. Don't you love the pretty purple and yellow
pansies! What a wonderfully sweet gift! Thanks, Sis!!</div>

I finally got my new sewing machine... yay! So you want to know what I decided to get? I purchased a Brother Innov-is 2800D.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What does that mean? It means not only can I sew and quilt on it, but it has machine embroidery on it, too! I am sure it will be a lot of fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, Heather, if I could only hand stitch as beautiful as you! But this will be good way for me!!</div>

Now for the learning how to use all the whistles and bells! </div>

What will I make first? Well, I signed up for usage classes in November and that should help me learn this particular machine. I did embroider on the front of a t-shirt. I will spare you the pictures!! I am going to make some simple tea towles and stuff to start getting the feel for this machine. </div>

Good morning my sweet friends. Well, it is looking a lot more like winter in my neck of the woods than autumn!</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
It was a nice surprise this morning. Earlier than normal. Not all the leaves have even changed colors yet! </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
So am I ready for this? I am not usually too thrilled about winter weather. You know, the aches and pains that settle into my bones, etc. .</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
I feel a bit exhilarated today. I welcome the change. Of course in Colorado, I can expect it to warm up my next week, so that makes it nice to enjoy for now. <br />
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
So today I will switch out my sandals for boots, shorts for jeans. (I hang on to summer as long as I can, some call it denial, lol) I will put on a comfy soft sweater and bake lasagna for dinner!</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Celebrating a special birthday tonight for Mr Fix-it ♡♥ Lasagna is his favorite. My the years go by fast!</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Stay warm and have a blessed day♡♥</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever just had one of those times where you weren't sure if it was meant to be? That is how I felt with my whole sewing machine experience, lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My sewing machine was more expensive to repair than it was worth. Perfect time to think about buying a new one, right? Well, I did think I had found a really nice machine and even at a good price. I ordered it and finally got it all set up. Boy was I ever excited!!<br />
I tried to use it, and it would mess up. Then I would retry, check, and try again. I had to use a phone assistance since I bought it online. (Bad plan)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, they agreed that the machine indeed, not functioning correctly. The weeks of going through this, really put a damper on the fun of getting a new sewing machine.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may have remembered that I was excited to start my first quilt? Still, no quilt, and I decided to return the machine, while I could still get my money back. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I learned through this process that buying something online or on tv or over the phone, is probably not a very good idea for me. The closest warranty service center was an entire state away. Any support on learning how to use this new machine, which happened to be a sewing, quilting, embroidery combo was, at best, difficult to say the least. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0wRbNHq_aKhmPDs0iEf29fxlSVsI_hTbFruslvEoRQZGVPf6IufV-b8cgIrAzEWz2J2CYTpEJ2Hhzncf51wxZx_zlf9l1UBkUKgQ62DK-2QLYeeUe3z1ewiwWv3Ib1Nk5Jp9NSdP7oR0/s1600/ysv175.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0wRbNHq_aKhmPDs0iEf29fxlSVsI_hTbFruslvEoRQZGVPf6IufV-b8cgIrAzEWz2J2CYTpEJ2Hhzncf51wxZx_zlf9l1UBkUKgQ62DK-2QLYeeUe3z1ewiwWv3Ib1Nk5Jp9NSdP7oR0/s1600/ysv175.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So now I have no sewing machine again and was left feeling a bit depressed over the entire situation. But we have decided to add a little more money in and go shopping locally to find not only a machine that is more reliable and user friendly, but one with a nice helpful support team.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I have narrowed down my choice on the machine I want to get. I am waiting for this next week or two for the local dealer to get a new product line in, then I will decide between the older and the newer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So patience is something I am really having to deal with, but it will be worth it this time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then maybe I can start using my creative skills again! I can't wait. Hoping everything goes a lot smoother this time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you had any bad experiences like this? I sure hope not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But you know, even with all this that has happened, I know my end experience will be much better. So for that I am so truly thankful!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pray you are all having a great week! We are freezing here in Colorado! High today is 35*F, bhrrrrr!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How are you today? Today I am going to be pretty busy! I have to be able to multi task. And look my best this evening :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's see if I can do it. Going to spend the day with some of my favorite girls.. My baby girl, Momma, and Sissy #2. (My other favorite girls cannot come) Probably lunch and maybe we can fit in either some thrifting or antiquing!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have lots of Mommy duties I need to get finished, too. So a busy morning :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtGkVlsLZ0VFX6rQvmziSCvLHZlffrRRczgx0bJDYYGAm-fgcLZJoNn4oivV97h5NuB9n8vop5Q6rwMOhSRXtILsxNJxbVvVXzh7F9De078w28RvexrMNthfXc5J1ALG6-vYIMyNy_vc0/s400/IMG_2425.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Each roll has 24 strips 2 1/2"x42" I bought these at Big Lots, 100% cotton.</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
This is the fabric I bought. I like the red strips up front the best. Do you like the fabric choice? The colors are great for fall and I couldn't beat the price for my first quilt at $7.50 each. After I get some practice I will probably try some from <a href="http://www.donnaslavendernest.com/" target="_blank">Donna's Lavender Nest fabric store</a>. She has so many pretty fabrics to choose from :)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you all so much for your advise on my first quilt. I have some questions before I begin.</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>What kind of thread should I choose? <i>Is their a special weight, does it have to be cotton, and how do I choose color?</i></li>
<li>I bought three small jelly rolls. <i>I was going to start out big. Should I start out small?</i></li>
<li>I was recommended the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_xW0j_YQQI&list=PLhf2-QXnQnTU4Wf1tuJwg_6Dgcbp0yuqh&index=2" target="_blank">Jelly Roll Jam</a> and the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEJLnaZQOU&list=PLhf2-QXnQnTU4Wf1tuJwg_6Dgcbp0yuqh&index=4" target="_blank">Jelly Roll Race</a>. <i>Do you prefer one over the other for a larger quilt?</i></li>
<li>What else can you tell me? <i>I know basically nothing, lol! </i></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I better get in gear with this, but finding myself a little chicken to start.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

It is one of those pretty easy to put together treats that most everyone will like to eat.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been pretty happy about our almost daily rain showers, but have also been a little displeased with the lack of outdoor time I can spend with my kids before school starts. My Son will be starting classes next week.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seems too early to me, but that is how they do it here. At least we still have weekends to try and have a little fun, in between home work. I always wish summer break lasted longer with my children.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hoping you are doing very good!<br />

If you are a vintage loving Little Susie Home Maker like me, I would bet that one of the things that you adore is a pretty apron!<br />
An apron can come in so many styles for different purposes. One of my favorites is a half apron. When I am sewing, an apron is one of my favorite projects. Because I can really get creative and make it with either new fabric styles, or with vintage materials, even linens.The decorating can be pretty minimal to elaborate! It really can be very practical or a work of art!<br />

The apron I am going to show you today is a combination of both new and vintage fabrics.<br />
It is from a vintage style half apron called Bow Tie. I made this cheerful orange with white polka dot half apron for one of my sister's. The waste band has that point in the center of it.<br />
Now all you long waisted gals would look great with the point going in an upward direction, but my short waist feels happier folding it downwards. Either way, I think it is very attractive.<br />
<br />

<br />
The fabric used for the pocket and the waistband and tie came out of my mom's fabric stash.My guess is from one of the 70's sewing projects she was working on back then. I really like the delicate little orange flower patterns and rows. Now the orange and white polka dots material is a newer fabric, from my stash. Trying to use up what I already have makes me feel good, too!<br />

Ric rac and yellow biased tape was a simple and effective trim. This apron is meant to be pretty and functional both. I mean, I want my sister to use it! It has a good sized front that will cover you up and a large pocket for what ever you may need to stash in there! I love pockets.<br />
This was another fun apron to make and I think I have an idea for my next apron sewing project. Hee hee, I can't wait!! <br />
<br />
Do you like aprons? Do you collect them, or use them?<br />
Do you have a family heirloom? Do you make them or buy them?<br />
<br />
I hope that you are all doing super great. I know that being thankful in all things is such a good thing to remember every day. So what ever is going on in your life, just remember that God is on your side. Just give Him your problems and know that He is victorious.<br />
<br />
Blessings,<br />

P.S. I wish I could tell you how I made this little loop of the chickens dancing, but honestly it was one of those Happy Accidents! I accidentally did this thinking it was a still shot! I have no idea how I did this, but it was on my cell phone which is a Samsung Galaxy S3. Sorry, that I can not how to tell anyone how to do this? :)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone! How are you doing? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it would be fun to show you one of my favorite lunches I like to make.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a plate of warm yummy Nachos!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I start by placing chips on the plate, then add refried beans, cooked ground beef, and add cheese. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then pop it in the microwave to melt cheese.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I add shredded lettuce, salsa, diced tomatoes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is ready to eat! I can't wait!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I put it on the table and then go in the kitchen for some cold drinks!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, boy I can't wait to dig in....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What is this? This looks like it has been devoured!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My two teen age kids are standing there grinning ear to ear with cheese on their lips!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Boy, that sure was good, Mom!!, Thanks!!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Back to the drawing board.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you are having a blessed week end.</div>
