Sunday sewing

Sunday, I spent part of the afternoon doing laundry and working on my list of stamping items so that I could post it on CraigsList to try and sell it all off. This is #13 on my goals for the year! After a couple of hours and pictures later, I figured I was done with the stamping things, but still had some laundry so I loaded another charity quilt and quilted it.



I forgot to trim the selvages off the Shrek piece so I ran out of backing. No big deal. The quilting is still doing OK. Now, I just have to find some binding for these two and move on to the next two.

After all of this was done, I watched "New in Town" with Harry Connick, Jr and Renee Zellweger and worked on the lime place mats. The movie was very cute! And I was able to finish the 3 lime mats!



Now, I only have the watermelons left and these 2 sets are done! Woo!!

There's some sewing going on!

At some point this week, Max's back was screaming, "STOP!!!" and he needed some TLC to help the muscles relax and give his back a break. This meant some extra cuddling time which in effect meant some more knitting time. I knew that a bit of heat would help along with the drugs, but I could not find a rice bag for the life of me! After all that I had made last year, I must have given my last ones away. :( So I made a couple more for me and the pups.

.

Last night and so far today, I made the 3 orange place mats for the 2 fruit table sets that I have been working on.



And I have been making very good progress on my second sock, although there are some differences between it and the first sock... :(





It looks like I have really tightened up my stitches due to the first sock being so loose once it was done. I'm going to finish the second sock and see how it fits and if it is better, I plan on re-knitting the first sock.

And finally, all this work has just worn the Hog Dog out! I think she deserves a score of 9.9 for a great use of toys!

My Secret Valentine

On the Tran-Quilt-ity Yahoo group, we had a Secret Valentine swap. I had so much fun buying little things for my partner and I sent it off without taking a picture of everything. Since she has opened the box already, she will have to post all the goodies that I sent to her. :)

I got my package in the mail today! It came all the way from Malaysia!! Zarina had me as her partner and she sent me a very pretty scarf! (Pardon the clutter in the picture.) This picture is very close to the true color of the scarf. I'm going to have to see if I have something that I can wear this with....



Thanks, Zarina! It's very pretty!!!

It's Regina's birth month!!

And to celebrate, she is having a giveaway!! Go check it out!!

Special Delivery

Today, there was a package from Regina with a quilt to be quilted and a special delivery for a couple of pups.



Max was so excited, I had to take a video!
