Sometimes I Like Basic And Old

I couldn't take it anymore. It made me crazy looking at it. Although I like the aesthetic of the new Dynamic templates, I missed the basic and old blog with of its sidebar information. So, thanks for your advice and just offer up a comment to say hi or even to thank me for changing it back. Leave it here, on Facebook or on Twitter.

Apologies to all who couldn't comment. I didn't realize that I had left the comments OFF. Duh, me. I was testing the commenting for the upcoming blog hop and left it off.

Have a great weekend.

Current Reads & A Book Giveaway Too!

Notice anything? I have been doing some behind the scenes techie stuff. I am working on updating my poor blog and website. Hello momma, where have you been!

First, I want to let you in a blog hop in November!! The Henry Glass designers are getting together again. It will be fun. Join us won't you? Details to come.

I have been doing some fun reading! Would you like to see? I just got the latest issue of American Patchwork & Quilting. Sue Spargo's ornaments are cute. I think that they'd make great gifts for my sewing friends.

Next, we have this special edition of Knit.Wear. Gorgeous photography and a couple of interesting things that I might make one day!

Oh, I didn't forget the book giveaway. There has been so much craziness around here that if I told you you wouldn't believe me! I won't bore you with the details. So, back to the giveaway of this lovely book. I contributed the pincushion project on the cover of this beauty.  There are lots of great projects that should get you motivated to start sewing for the holidays. As you may have noticed, I loaded up Blogger's new Dynamic blog template. Click on each of those themes up there at the top. Fun! The only problem is the lack of a sidebar and other things. All gone. My question is, do you like the old traditional blog or do you like this? Let me know! I'll probably have to switch back until they offer something better but for now it looks cool. You have until Monday night 8 p.m. I will announce next week.

Have a great weekend!

A New Year & The Lovely Edita Sitar

Yes, my years follow the school year. I never feel that January 1st is a new beginning.

I had an insane summer that really wasn't a summer because it seemed much more hectic than all of the music lessons, school activities, etc. The book is at the publisher's, my grandmother was not well but is slowly recovering, I have a new niece, we felt an earthquake on the east coast, our town was flooded by the hurricanes and the boys are back at school now! Phew!

I contributed to this lovely book and it is going to be available on Tuesday! That's my pincushion on the cover. I hope to see your versions of it in the near future!

Edita Sitar is our wonderful Aurifil Designer of the Month. I had a post but it disappeared into blogland's black hole.

Her quilts are gorgeous. I want to make the one with the swirling vines. Let us know which one you like and do make hers and post it to the Flickr page for a chance to win some amazing thread.

What next? I'm working on some treats that will be available from my local shop and there's going to be a party later on in the year. Are you ready?

I'm not sure my body is ready but I am totally up for the challenge! Stay tuned!

p.s. Do follow me on Facebook or Twitter. I have better luck keeping up there sometimes!
