Follower Winner And Other Stuff
Congratulations to Susan at Susan's Scrappy Domain who has won my Follower Giveaway! As soon as I get her mail information I'll be sending her this gift.
On another note I finally got to sit down last night and do a little stitching! Since I've gone back to work it seems as if time is definitely not on my side - sewing is a few minutes here and a few minutes there. I'm working on a wool/embroidery piece that I'm almost through with. It's from Primitive Gatherings, one of my favorite shops ever and someday I'm actually going to go there!
If you're like me and you love embroidery you need to run over to Sew We Quilt for all the details. The patterns are wonderful and there's lots of room to create your own unique piece. Jane from Jane's Fabric and Gifts is the cheerleader for that hop and she'd love to hear from you.
Yesterday I had my husband help me and we moved a little furniture in my bedroom. He hates that. I love that. :) I have my desk in that room because there's simply no place else to put it in this house but before the move I had it stuck in a corner. We moved it to the windows so when I'm at my desk typing my blog posts I can look up and out over the water, so if I seem to drift off into other thoughts it's because of my view!

And I created a bulletin board that I'm totally in love with - so bright and colorful, even though it's mostly covered with stuff that hides the bright and colorful. I took a piece of foamboard that I bought at Hobby Lobby (with a coupon of course), cut it into fourths, covered each piece with a different red and white fabric and then put them butted up against each other on my wall beside the desk. Everything at my fingertips, but in a fun way. :) I didn't do that yesterday...but I don't think I've shown it to you before.
The clock you see there was my mother's. It hung in her house since I was a little girl about 10 years old. When she died there were two things hanging on it....the tassel from my graduation cap (don't ask me why mine when she had four kids but probably she picked it up off the floor one day, hung it there and never moved it!) and the one and only ribbon she ever won for one of her quilts. She'd have won more because she did beautiful work but she never entered one. I snuck one away and entered it for her or she wouldn't have that ribbon! :)
Since I was already in the mood for cleaning and sorting I straightened up both closets too. Do you do that? Get started with one little area and it just grows on you? You clean out this drawer, which leads to cleaning off that shelf, which leads to.... But no more! Today I have 2 or 3 things I have to do but then I'm headed for the sewing room to work on It's All About Me!

Follower Alert!!!
A couple of weeks ago I promised a giveaway for my followers when I reached 600 - it snuck up on me but I'm up to 614 now! So as promised, if you're a follower and you're interested in these two items:
I have the November/December issue of QuiltMania - a lovely magazine. And a jelly roll of Cherry Christmas by Aneela Hoey for Moda. At one of the after Christmas sales I bought one for me and one for you! :)
Here are the rules for this giveaway - please follow them strictly.
1. Leave ONLY ONE comment telling me how you follow my blog - on the Followers list on the right sidebar, on a reader, through e-mail subscription, etc.
That's it - that's the only rule. If you haven't been following but you want to then please add your name to the Followers over there on the right and leave a comment telling me you did so.
This is going to be a pretty fast giveaway - I'll choose a number on Friday. Good luck!
blessings, Marlene
