Mommy's little helper......

.....yesterday...before i took the pictures of my stash......i was cutting 2.5 inch strips of muslin for a project......Miss Kitty (sorry about the picture, tilt your heads to the right) was being "Moms Little Helper" by removing the left overs for me......ever try to rotary cut with a cat in the way!!
Plus....she decided to sit on my yardage!!!
Silly Cat!!
She disappeared when i started with the unphotographed stash!
You just can't get good help anymore....
Enjoy......it's Monday!!

My stash.....


...it came to my attention that i've been posting about storing away fabric for the winter months....but.....bad me!!....i have not posted any pictures ....

So i dumped it all out on my sewing counter and tryed to create order and take a couple of photos.......thanks Miss Kitty for the help?!!

Look there is a jelly roll, a charm pack, some plaids, some prints, 2 packs of fat quarters.....which seem to be in a pastel and something with a wild orange, green and black print.....bright blue flowers....some sort'a fall print with lots of red, orange and yellow......and purple! when did i start to buy purple!!.......there is also 3.....count'm..... 3 kits and a pattern that i had been searching for ever since the trip to Atlanta....

What's with all the COLOR!!........i'm a "traditional" color-way quilter..........when i started to quilt.......100 years ago......you used "traditional" colors.....browns, greens, gold, sometimes a muted red or blue.......bright colors were "gaudy"...... maybe you could use a pastel for a baby quilt.....but, only a baby quilt!!

But......Wait!....what is this???....Have i come into the light and now use.....(gulp)....COLOR!!??


Wellllll...........there is this......


And this.........

Here's something to ponder........Are these wonderful bights....the new traditional??

Ohhhhh...after i took the pictures...i found 4 more pieces of fabric.....they are 2 greens, a tan and a reproduction print of tan and green.........

Maybe...there's still hope for me!!!

Jet Jockeys.......

Haven't seen their vapor trails in quite some time.....missed you guys and gals....

I sincerely hope they're just out in the sky having fun!!

It's a great day for having fun..... 40*.....bright sun shine.....very little breeze.......

Wonder how much fun i can have on my weekly trip to Wally World???

Well.....i'll give it my best shot!.....

Ohhhhhh........

.....thanks to all who send e-mails and comments enquiring if i was OK.......
yep......just caught some kind'a bug......and spent the last 48 hours either sleeping...like Miss Kitty ....or running to the bathroom......
City boy and i were discussing the fact that this has been a bad year for me health wise.......
I'm usually the last one standing....while the rest are fighting off some sort'a ailment...
Could this be old age sneaking up on me!!??

Wordless Wednesday......


Hello......

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

Ahhhh....is it....??!

......hummm....yahhhhh...took these pictures at 6:45 this am....
The view from the SE side of the front porch is the sun rising........
The view from the NW side of the front porch is the moon hanging over the horizon.....
........was it a sun rise or a moon set!!??
Don't ya just love this time of the year...... the time of the year when everything seems to slow down and prepare for the coming cold months....Even the clock seems slower....
A time when your winding down the summer/fall projects and storing up the winter projects......but.....no one seems to be in a hurry.....
Even Mother Nature seems to say...." yaaaa I'll get that sun up and that moon down......sometime today!.....what's the rush!"

Monday.....again!

I know....I know......Monday is my self-proclaimed favorite day of the week!!
However....this one was hard to get started.......
Maybe it was the time change......maybe it was all the squash i peeled yesterday or maybe it was cooking a last minute dinner for everyone on our mountain.....
Oh Well.........only four more Mondays to go and then the fur babies and i can sleep-in!!
Also....i must use this beautiful Monday morning to tell all my blogger friends....."I'm Sorry!"
I have been verrrrry lacks in leaving comments and returning e-mails...
I have no excuse!! :(
Unlike the hawk in the picture ...... i have not turned my back on you!!
You ....each and everyone....are a valuable member of my cyber-support system...
Thanks for being there....and i'll try to do better.... :)
Enjoy
