100th POST

Wow, I can't believe it! When I started this blog I figured maybe twenty post, that would be good. Especially for one who is spelling challenge! But what did that 100 number do but made me a little frighten. It was like this is big and I should post something wonderful, meaningful and all that stuff. So what did I do, not post at all but thought. Then it hit me, this is my blog and I'm not that deep insightful person. I'm this crazy, spontaneous, sometimes not even thinking yo-yo with jitters. Yep, that's me flight from one project to another with so many unfinished ones. So I decided to post on a couple of projects in the works. Maybe it will give me a boost to keep going and finish.

I'm working on the quilt my sister and I are doing. I have all the fabric sewn to the white for the strips. Here is a little picture so you can get the idea of the retro prints for this quilt. I have to stay on task for I want all strips cut and the pyramids cut before I go on vacation. You see I am leaving for a 17 day vacation in less than a week, YIKESSSSSS!!!!

Now it is onto cutting the strip 5 1/2 and then using the pyramid cutter. I haven't cut one pyramid yet, chicken yep! Always best to measure twice and only cut once. Same as in carpentry!! The directions only show a picture so keep my figures cross I do it correctly!

Another project I am working on is I'm making flannel pillow cases for all seven grand kids. Shhhhh, I know Christmas presents already! The theme is frogs this year. I am going to embroider their names on the cuff or band what ever you want to call it. Now to tell on me, I have a wonder Brother Innovis 4000D and I've never used the embroidery feature. Yikes, I'm baddddddd!!!

I'm having one problem with the camo frogs. It's the band fabric. I don't know if I want to go with a more contrast like the brown check or the other. So I am hoping my followers can help me decide. Remember their will be green embroidered names on the band.

Or this one with the lighter golder band?

One of my friends, yes I do have a few! Well it was her birthday and I had her present all ready to go but then I thought it needed a little something extra. So I quick embroidered a tea towel. I couldn't find a VW bug transfer so I tried to draw one. Drawing, another talent I don't have. But oh well, it the thought that I made it - right. She has a lime green newer bug and her kitchen is lime green and orange so it should fit right in. Opps! I've since pressed it after looking at this picture.

And while I'm working away on projects sometimes I need to pay more attention as to whats around me. For I have a monkey in the tree!!! An adventurous one at that! No help needed to get down for I heard this " I can do it myself Grammie".

So the 100th post is finished and maybe the jitters will go away! The bouncing yo yo will not, too many years of practice!! Then I thought; on my, so many blogs do a give away and now how do I do that! Oh to be a amature blogger. I'll have to work on this for maybe the 101th! So until then have a wonderful time with what ever you are doing. I sure am!

Enjoy June
