Busy sewing day.
The next thing I worked on today is a project for my group Learning 2 Quilt. We have a project to do each month and it's so much fun, this month we did potholders but I made mine a trivet.The last thing I want to show you is a banner I made for me to show at the SCA. We get to have them to represent us at the events, and this is the one I made for me. As I love hummingbirds and do alot of crafts I thought it represents that really well, plus it's my favorite colors.Well, that's all the news for today. Have a Blessed Evening!

Halloween Decorations and a sneak peek......
The Witch I made last year from a Fons and Porter magazine. It hangs there all year round.This is on my front door, it was given to me when I was in the Women's Shelter a few years ago ( I have one for each season). Plus some matching towels hanging in my bathroom.
Oh I found a cute and yummy recipe on this blog for Bat Cupcakes check them out, they look really good and who doesn't love chocolate kisses?
These two cuties are in my sewing room. I also keep the cat up year round . Today I'm going to a table runner class my friend Amy is having it's free here are the fabrics I picked for it, I figured I needed something for Christmas as I made the placemats last year. and these fabrics match the colors of them. I think it's going to be fun and I can't wait to get out of the house for awhile. I'm bring my cramara so I can take pictures and will share them tomorrow
The above picture is of my cover I made for my sewing machine when I take it anywhere got the fabic when I went on a shop hop a couple of years ago.The above is a Plastic Canvas wall hanging I'm trying to finish, it was an RR when I had my group on MSN. So it is really old, but I keep misplacing the yarn so have to hunt for it everytime I want to try and finish it. Maybe this year I will get it finished, it is never high on my list of things to do because every year we go to my MIL's for dinner so I only decorate alittle here at home.
Okay here is the sneak peak I promised you. It's going to be made into something for the Thankgiving swap i'm in. But, I'm not saying what and I hope my partner likes it.
Well I think that's all the news for today I hope you like my decorations. Have a Blessed Day!

PlayStation 2 & Nintendo....My other hobby...
I thought I would share my other hobby with you. I love playing video games. Right now I'm playing "Baldur's Gate 1- Dark Alliance". I have both 1 & 2 hopefully they will come out with 3 soon. There is also a book series about this called "The Legend of Drizzt" by R.A. Salvatore, I've read most of them but not all yet. I also play Nintendo 64 & Super Nintendo. I have a bunch of games on them I play like "Breath of Fire" and "EarthBound", "Gaia", etc. So who else plays????

What a weekend.......
Well, I spent the weekend sewing bags for a friend of mine who makes grab for the SCA. it was for a trade of a tunic for Hubby and a dress for me. I made 50 of them as you can see in the picture. She is going to use them to sell with the Runes she sells. plus I made 5 more because Hubby and DD wanted some lol.
Then me and DD were messing around with the camara after taking the pictures of the bags. DD is in the top picture. I'm below.
Today I went to the Cottage Housewarming party, you can click on the link on my sidebar at the top. It was really cool of them to do this and they are having lots of giveaways and prizes.
Also don't forget to sign-up for my swap 12 days of Christmas, the link is on the sidebar, it's called Haven's Swaps.
I'm still waiting on my doctor to call. Hopefully they will today. So while I'm waiting I have an idea for my challenge fabric I got from on of my groups. I have to look up Paper doll patterns to see if I can do it as the theme is family and I figured I could use some of the paperdoll patterns for templates. Will let you know how it goes. I also have to start working on my guild challene it's due in Dec. the theme is When I think of Florida this is what I see. I have an idea but just have to make it.
I'm still working on things for my Thanksgiving swap almost have the package ready to send. I'm glad I got postage already or it would have been late as our rearend broke and now we have to fix it. So I had to drop a couple of my swaps for November. But not the ones in December.
Well that's all the news from this weekend.
Have a Blessed Day!

New Blog- Haven Swaps
I have a new blog I just started. I will be hosting swaps on it. My first swap is 12 Days of Christmas check it out by clicking on the picture below. Well it's over cast and very windy, it looks like Winter here not Fall. Not sure what I'm going to work on today as yesterday we were supposed to go to our Shire meeting and we didn't make it. We went into town early so Hubby could do his Mom's bushs, trimming and weeding and while we were there my back started hurting and then my kidneys went off it was horrible, at first I was just in pain, then I felt like I had to og to the bathroom all the time, finnally I just told hubby to take me home and I layed down on the couch and went to be early last night was up at 5:54am this morning and I still have to call my doctor but I feel alot better today. So hopefully I can go with Hubby to fight practise Thursday as we were supposed to go out to dinner yesterday and he said we will do it Thursday.
Have a Blessed day!
