Details.

Sometimes I forget things.

The contest will run through this week. I will post winner(s) on friday along with their prizes.

If more than one person picks a number and it happens to be correct then that means there are multiple winners. So yes, you can pick a number even if someone has already picked it.

I already have plans for another contest (they're so fun!). So don't get discouraged if you don't win this one. I think I'm going to make it a habit! ;o)

Just for fun!



A few years ago my husband mentioned something about a friend of his whose Grandmother had a box full of old spools and thimbles that she had used or worn through. That day I put a basket on my shelf and began placing all my old empty spools in it. I don't have any worn-through thimbles because I don't do much of any hand work. The other day while I was sewing ALL DAY I finished another spool and dropped it in the basket. Then I had an idea!



How about another contest!? Look at the picture and guess how many spools are in the basket! Whoever gets closest to the actual number will win a prize. I'll post the prize in the next day or two- when I figure out what it's going to be. But I promise it'll be a good one. For now, just keep guessing!


P.S.- I don't think it's going to be too hard! ;o)

3 projects done.

Yesterday I sewed ALL DAY LONG! This is not an exaggeration! Literally, aside from trips to the potty and a quick snack here and there I was at my machine. I was able to finished 2 quilt tops, and start and finish another. I guess since I just gave away 3 quilt tops my brain knew there was a deficit! I think I have a serious problem- wouldn't you agree?

My house looks like a tornado hit it. Dished piled up on the counter. Laundry baskets overflowing. You can't even walk around bare-foot because the floor is covered with dried playdough, bread crumbs from last nights dinner, and cereal. I know, GROSS!

So, today is dedicated to CLEANING my house. Mostly because child welfare services is going to walk through my door any minute (not literally) and because my husband and I are taking off tonight for a mini-vacation to Park City to celebrate our 10th Anniversary!

Have you ever stayed on a project for a long time and neglected everything else? Tell me about it!
