A Little Behind ...

I seem to be getting behind with just about everything.

I have been browsing blogs but I am afraid I am not commenting as much lately.

There will be many changes in my household over the next few months & then I am hoping everything will settle down a bit.  Please bear with me!

I think my cat is handling things well ....

Doesn't he look stressed - lol

........

 I am hoping to start a new project sometime soon:

 "Valentine Sampler" by Brenda Gervais
I think this is just one of the prettiest pattern sets I have seen in awhile.

I love the colors, the finishing, & the quality of the pattern!!!!!!

I have had my children eating chocolate for days so I can get my hands on those boxes :)

Don't forget to take a look at my sidebar - there are some great giveaways going on right now &
I found a new quilting blog ....

Justquiltin with Denise Russart

She is offering free patterns starting in February:
"Strictly For The Birds"

Happy Stitching ...

Valentine Giveaway

I started blogging in 2010 when I started working night shift.
When all of your family is asleep & everything is closed it gets a little quiet!
Unable to change shifts in order to provide for my family I looked for a means to interact with people who had some of the same interests as I did -
Blogging was the perfect answer -
It has opened up a whole new world to me
I have learned so much from a multitude of wonderfully creative people.
And have developed some lovely relationships through the years ...

 So Here is a little opportunity for my blogging buddies
Just to say thank you !!!!
