Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thankgiving dear blog friends.  There is certainly a lot to be thankful for as we start preparing pumpkin pies and cranberry sauce (or before others start preparing them, thanks Mom!!!)  This holiday season I am most thankful for my family who are always there for me and of course put up with me as I create a cyclone of chaos when I visit!  Oh how I anticipate the coming days spent with family and good food.  Mmmmmm my mouth is watering just thinking about all the goodness, warm, gooey monkey bread amongst them!

On another thankful note, I am thankful that my crafty-mind block has temporarily been lifted and I'm on a roll with sewing projects.  Just in the last 24 hours I have completed a quilt top (60 " x 70"), made a tote bag, and a scrappy pouch for my itouch.   And the ideas are still coming.  I also have some big crafty plans for holiday gifts that I have only started to complete so I hope the mental block doesn't come back!  Although I have been smart about things this time and designed everything ahead of time in case the block comes to haunt me before Christmas!

Oh and I've also create a christmas tree decoration made out of a magazine!  A very time consuming project but I think worth it - I'm planning on making another one while on the plane this week.  Check it out here Martha Stewart .

Happy Thanksgiving!

Let the holiday madness begin!!!
