What Am I Up To...???

I've been working on this sweet little project for someone special...!!!

I've been trying to ignore this pile of Kaffee goodness that has been a constant distraction. I think every good little quilter should start out the new year with something new for her stash....regardless of how big...deep...or wide her stash already is!!! Thank you soooo much 'MRS.' Santa.....and yes...Thanks Terri for such a good sale!!!

I need a couple of gifts......like "I can't begin to thank you enough" type gifts....the kind of thank you that requires a whole quilt! I have in mind a softer scrappy vintage look and feel. This is another one of Bonnie's from Quiltville inspirations. It is the 4 Patch and Furrows design....Mine may turn out a little different than the one she shows...but that's ok!! Hhhhmm...I only need about three of these!

Darn...I have been seeing another distraction out of the corner of my eye. Oh...Oh...my heart beats a little faster everytime I glance over at them! Thanks for your 20th anniversary sale Jackie!!!

See...I have more than plenty to keep me busy.....now if only I could speed my little self up a little...I think I 'piddle' around too much!!! I just want to be like Wanda when I grow up!!

Gee Thanks Santa...!!!

Yee-ow.........just what I needed!!!.............NOT!!!

BUT SANTA....I certainly didn't mind getting this!!! Nanette from Freda's Hive was so generous to include me in one of her wonderful Christmas goody packages. This little star ornament is just so lacy.....sweet and too darn cute for words! She created these by cutting up and using a vintage Christmas table cloth.....she tells how on her blog....go see. I'm ga ga over the neat little pile of cute squares of fabric she included too. They really remind me of all things vintage-ee. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness Nanette!!! You need to scoot on over to Nanette's blog and read up on an upcoming retreat she will be involved with!

AND SANTA....whatever could be in this lovely little package???

WOW....it's this fabulous apron made by the ever so creative AMANDA from the Busy Little Quilter blog. Amanda had a giveaway on her blog for one of these cutie patootie aprons....and I won.....and since she knew I loved and collected Santas, she made mine with this great vintage looking Santa fabric. Go here to get the pattern Amanda shares for this 'fat quarter' apron. Thank you for my apron Amanda....it really is so so cute!!!
