A little bit of everything...



 I got a new camera!  I made the strap to go on it!

 Coasters I made for Janine, my boss.  We're putting a basket together for her!

 The beautiful tulips I got from my Girls on the Run!

Our Christmas tree....and Sadie.  


 It's Christmas time!  I have all my Santas out and ready.  This is the first one I got.  

 I gave Julio a pizza stone for his birthday.  This is our favorite pizza- pesto, artichokes, olives, sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and a little mozzarella.  Yummy!
 
I found this recipe in my Classic Home Cooking cook book.   Usually all the recipes from there are great, but this one wasn't that good.  It's a pizza with tomatoes, tuna, capers, mozzarella, oregano, and a little olive oil.

Learning to Crochet


I'm learning how to crochet.  It's a lot better than knitting.  
Here is my first project... a scarf!

A friend from Julio's lab is having a baby.  I went to a baby shower yesterday and this is the blanket I made for them!

Summer Plans!

Linda gave me a bunch of fabric to make some quilts for Project Linus.  I haven't had as much time as I've wanted to sew, but I will have a lot of time this summer to finish the nine blankets I got the material for!
 


 I did get to finish one!  It is a rag quilt.  I'm making three others just like it.  I love this quilt because it's cute and so easy to make!



 This is a quilt my mom started over 30 years ago.  This summer I plan to quilt it and put binding on it!  I started this past weekend with two of the block.
 


Another thing I'm working on this year is a block of the month from my favorite quilt store, Bernina.  Each month we get material and directions to make another block.  


 I bought this fabric a while ago, but haven't worked on this project in a while.  This one you won't see until I enter it into the North Carolina State Fair in October! 


 My quilting group is doing challenges again!  Hurray!  This time we're going to do a summer themed project.  I want to do a beach scene.  I have some beach things to paper piece and applique!  We'll see how this turns out.
