Vicki and I are going to town!!!  we have started sewing the roses to our bear paw blocks. 

I didn't get a picture of Vicki's.  I will add it next time.  Wasn't sure if I liked it or not.  but looking at it now, I really do!!!  next up a red rose I think!

We have a little snowman table runner ready for hand sewing.

Vicki sewed these little baby steps for us and I need to start the embroidery!

I have the last side borders for my cheddar that is pink quilt ready to sew on!!! 

And we went to Sassy's for lunch.  Which is always good. 

Toni introduced me to lemon drop cupcakes.  So I had to have one.  OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!!  I might have to try this at home.  so good...... 

so no finishes, but lots of sewing time and laughter.  Vicki is here this week too.  lets see what we can get done! 

hugs....

Redwork Time

one of my favorite times of the month - Redwork Club. these ladies are so talented! and so productive! here is Jeanne with the center part done of christmas twitterings..... almost done on this block.....

Jancye is also very busy! here is a closeup of a crab apple hill basket pattern....

and her center is done too.....

here is the whole basket quilt.....

and two totes she has finished....

Now I have found a new blog! Your cup of cake! OH MY GOODNESS!!!! This is the best cupcake ever!!! we were licking our fingers good. smack your lips good! follow her instructions. she has you start with sifting your cake mix. hmmm, I did it, didn't think it would make a difference - it does! also she has you put the cupcakes in a sealed large bowl to cool. very important. these are so moist and yummy. I think I have to try every single recipe she has for cupcakes. they are to die for.......

ok, back to redwork...... Harriett had the door prize this time. and Charlene won! yeah! she took out this strawberry thing... hmmm what is it?

pull the string and surprize! you have a grocery bag!

she also had a set of pumpkin napkins. so cool! thank you Harriet!!

She also made a place mat for a nephew!

and some pillowcases.....

and a summer wall hanging......

and a table runner.......

and a tote!

now I can't remember who had made this block. sorry!

thanks for a great day!!!

Cupcakes! YUM!!!

OK, bad Grandma, I feel soooo bad! Trina and I stopped at a new cupcake store in Acton. We were going to only get one cupcake. we bought 8! then we were going to share with the kids, we didn't. we tasted the lemon one first and that was it! we had to taste them all.... Kind of expensive $2.75 each. and they were a little small. but oh soooooo good. sigh.... bad grandma!

Can I blame my daughter? it's all Trina's fault! bad Mommy!!! LOL.... Thank you sweetie for inviting me out. I am so glad that I got to come out to help. AND I am so very thankful that your surgery went so well.... Love ya sweetie......

Road to Shambala..........

Jen and David will be moving soon and Saturday they had to sign the paperwork. Our Lexi girl didn't want to do that, so she and I had Lexi day! yeah!!! do you remember the song - here the road to shambala by 3 dog night? well, I feel it is my moral obligation to teach my grandchildren about good music - namely from the 70's! LOL..... so during our time together I will pick a song and we listen to it a lot. and we sing along. they have fun with their silly grandma. this time it was road to Shambala. we listened to it probably a couple a dozen times. we were both rocking to the music! LOL.....

anyway, cupcakes are so popular now. and there is a cupcake place by where Lexi leaves. Cupcake Cafe. we decided to go there. it was a very cute shop. the cupcakes where - OK. we bought 3 for $6.50. Mint chocolate, German chocolate and red velvet. they were pretty, but just OK.

Next we went to the movies to see Toy Story 3. Lexi had never seen it. how did that happen? so off we went to the $3 movie theater in Tempe. Lexi wanted her picture with Elvis! we had a great time!

Thanks Lexi for a fun afternoon! love you sweetie.....
