In the Loll (is that a word) of the silent world between Christmas Holiday and New Year's Eve. usually brings reflection on life and dreams of hopes for the next year.  Well, this is no exception for me.  I am always reevaluating where I am spending my time and how am I handling the time that I have left on this earth.  My 91 year old mother passed away this year and also a 45 year old dear nephew suddenly who left a 5 year old child, just like his dad who died early.  Life is a blip on this whirling planet that has been in existence for millions of years, so they say. 

MAKE EVERY MOMENT COUNT!

What is under some of my sewing machines!

Hello there out in blog/internet land.  Sometimes I feel that no one hears me and then I look and had one person find me.  I know, some of you are so very famous from blogging, on others websites, in magazines and in blogging parties, but I am enjoying my own skin in what I do in the privacy of my own home with a lake and nature just outside my window.  This week will be busy with sitting with my two grandboys while mommy and daddy go to the oldest's kindergarten teacher's meeting.  Then on Wednesday, my two oldest grandgirls will help me with the Thanksgiving Turkey and cleaning my house.  I love my grands.  On Friday, I do not shop but wait for Bonnie Hunters Mystery Quilt directions for this month.
But now I will show you want is under my machines today.  Enjoy.

On my new Bernina 780, I am embrodering a Let It Snow Snowflake table runner.  This should be finished this week and it will be put up on my Etsy Shop.  Look for it soon.

On my New to Me " Red Eye  Singer" treadle that my son in law found, I am making hand dyed napkins for a friend.  I just finished cleaning it, oiling it and my hubby found a lost screw for it and she (Rosebud) is my favorite today.

Under my Sweet Sixteen sit down quilting 16" throat is a queen size quilt that I made about a year ago and finally finishing.  This will show up at my Etsy Shop too.  

Below on my design wall is hand sewed hexies using Kaffe Fasset fabric.  I love the crazy colors and the black makes it pop. I am not sure how big I will make this quilt.  I suppose until I get tired of it. 

I purchased a better camera this year and have been having alot of fun with it.  Nikon Coolpix P600.  Below is a Blue Huron that stopped by our property every morning for about a month hunting for small fish.  I love how their necks for a "S". 

So for a art quilt, I am creating by version of the big birds.  I am also disguising a two small of a bird underneath the larger one.  We will see how this turns out.  Needs lots of thread work, beads and decisions to me made before I like it, I guess.
