SNOW DAY

Went home early from work today because of the snow storm. It was wierd being the one sent home, I have always been the one to send people home. Jack cat hates the snow, I am sure he is thinking in his head " STOP SNOWING!!!"

WOW!! has it really been a year and a half sense i have posted anything!!??!!   Well lets see what has happened....Franc's daughter turned 18 and graduated from high school.  Changed jobs, now I play with big fiberglass stickers all day making airplane parts. Been doing some beading and a little quilting.  Learned kumihimo and now want to do lots more.  I think my New Years goal will be to keep up on my blog more!!  

This is a necklace that I made for my niece for Christmas.

This is kumihimo with wire and 6mm firepolish.

What I did for my 3 day weekend

This is what I did with my three day weekend. It is only they top. I want to free motion suns in the large square and stitch in the ditch arround everything else. I also made a pair of earings and a necklace, but had a uploading to the computer DUH moment and now the pictures are gone....

April and May BJP done!!

Well I finished May and took a good picture of April finally. 

Here is April.  It is kind of abstract.  I wanted to just follow the lines in the fabric and play off the colors in the fabric So here is what I came up with.

Here is May.  I just got done with the Quilters Puzzle quilt and was still in the black and red mood.

Something is finaly done...some are part of the way done

I sat down saturday and  worked on the puzzle quilt and I want to add another border, but not a printed fabric.  I have a printed fabric for the binding.

I also finished March's Bead Journal Project.  I wanted to work with yellow and green beads.  In late March is when the Daffodils start to bloom so I thought this would be a great March peice.

Here are January, February, and March peices put together to make the first of four tumbling blocks.

I also got on a beading roll and did Aprils, but I need to take a better picture of it.  That will be posted on a later date.  Mom and I went to Silverdale on Thursday and did some shopping, she was a bad influence on me.  She made me spend money at one of the fabric stores...ugh!  I try not to buy unless I have a project to do, but they had some nice batik on the 30% off rack.  I was only going to by 1 yard of it but mom coned me in to buying 1.5 yards of it and 4 coordinating batiks to go with it.  Now my brain is trying to find a pattern that I want to use it in.  Dang that Mom...lol...
