My first Waldorf doll!!!!

Hi!!!! Hope everyone is doing well!!!!! Not too cold or too hot!!!!!  Would be nice if we could pick the temp we wanted and Oh Sunshine would be nice!!!!!  We actually have had a little sunshine here and there!!!!! But I'd take more!!!!!  Remember my last post about the free Waldorf Doll Tutorial?!!!!  Well, I did get one made and I did fairly well with it!!!!  It had very easy directions and a youtube video!!!!!  So I really had fun with it!!!! I didn't have the exact materials and such but improv works with dolls too!!!!!   Ha!!!!  Let me give you the link up again!!!!   Inge at Free Waldorf Doll Pattern and Tutorial!!!!!  Hope you have some fun and a wonderful week!!!!!!
                                                   

Improv and CCCold!!!!!!

                                 
Hi!!!!! How cold is it where you are?   You don't have to say you like my quilt but how cold is it and where are you?  If you are someplace warm I would love to hear about it!!!!!  We hit record lows last night!!!!! BBBRRR!!!!!  This was clue 3 from Moira @The Quilted Snail!!!!  My sister let me know she did not like the brown rectangles I added but it is the same brown that is in my focus fabric so maybe in the end it will work out...if not then I go to plan B!!!! To be decided at the end of the quilt along!!!!!  I also have a link to a really cute freeby by a very sweet lady who would like for everyone to see it!!!!  Cute Waldorf doll pattern!!!!! She (Inge) also has the tutorial and explains it very well!!!!!  Even I could make it!!!!  I plan on making one asap!!!! Hope you are staying warm and having some fun!!!!! I will be linking up to the buttons on my side bar!!!!  Hugs to all!!!!!

Mystery?!!!! Mysteries are one of my favorite things!!!!!

Hi!!!! I know!!!!  I have been missing!!!!  Hope everyone is doing great and having some fun!!!! Being creative?!!! Hope you are!!!!  I am trying to jump back in...being creative that is!!!!  I also did make a doll but that was in December...I will show her later....Do you like my creation above?!!!!  A place to jump back in and I am having fun with it!!!!!  Check out the mystery over at The Quilted Snail!!!!!  Moira is giving us clues but does not show what she is doing until we have done our clues!!!!! Ha!!!!  Of course I messed up right off the bat...I am famous for not following instructions correctly!!!!  But!!! But I decided to carry on and do what ever improv was necessary and to take advantage of a new design element!!!!  Did that sound creative?!!!!  Moira has given clue 3  and I will be working on that soon!!!! You are not to late to jump in and have fun with us!!!! Come on over!!!!  Also I know Claire over at KnitNKwilt is ready to start on clue number 3 also!!!!  She followed the instructions!!!!!  Have some fun today and all weekend!!!!!   hugs

Oh sew fun!!!!  Avis at Oh Sew Tempting started The Chicken Run and Chickens have been flying around the world!!!!  Be sure to visit Avis at her blog above!!!!  My Little Chick Lucky flew all the way from Delaware USA!!!!!  When she got here she said her wings were so tired and she took a little nap right away!!!  She told me her name was Lucky now....because she had to fly over soooo many Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants that she was just sure she would never make it to my house and then when she got here there was a Black Cat Crossing the street in front of my house...she said she started to just turn around and go the other way...but poor Lucky was just too tired from her trip!!!!  Mary at Stitching Grandma sent Lucky to me I had been trying to get a little chick to come here to Kentucky but I think they were a little worried until Mary sent me Lucky!!!!  Thanks Mary!!!!  Visit Mary at the link above to enjoy her fun blog!!!  Here is a pic of Sweet Little Lucky!!!!

She is so pretty!!!!  To win all you have to do is agree to make one chicken to give away and send on around the world!!!!  There are lots of tutorials and a couple of youtube videos of how to make them!!!!  Oh Sew Tempting has a chicken gallery of all the little chicks that have been migrating!!!!!  Too win pic which chick you would like to win and tell us what you would name him or her and where the chickie would be off to!!!!  

Here are two that I made!!!!  I started with the little baby chick and then The Autumn Chick!!!!  And then I made Wild Child Chick!!!!

Triangle Quilt Along!!!!!!

                                 
Hi Everyone!!! This is an update on my Quilt for the Triangle Quilt Along!!!!! Sassy Quilter!!!!! Triangle Quilt Along   See how green the grass is getting!!!!!!!  Lovin it!!!!! It was 70 degrees today!!!!! And not one drop of rain!!!!!  It took me a long time to come up with a layout I liked for these triangles!!!!! I used fabrics I already had and I didn't have the Mod Pop colors many are using for this!!!!!  Sooooo I wanted a different layout!!!!! Now if I could quit sewing the wrong ends to the other wrong ends this might turn out pretty!!!!!!   In my dreams it works!!!!!! Ha!!!!!  I am behind on almost everything!!!!!  Correction!!!! I am behind on everything!!!!  Hope you are getting great weather and have a great day!!!!!!  hugs to all
