What happened to November?

Wow so much has happened this month! Where do I start?

Well first of all the Royals won the World Series!

During the final game I got my knitting out to ease my nerves. At the 7th inning this happened....so I started another hat!

It was a marvelous series! And then there was a parade like no other!

We did not go... look at all of those people!! Imagine trying to find a bathroom... nope watching from afar was good enough for me!

I extended my cancer hat knitting to November. I ended up with 7 hats, 3 went to a good friend, 2 others went to friends who wanted them for their friends and another went to a breast cancer survivor. I have 2 left that I will donate. This was so much fun and I was so happy to help others out.

I am averaging about 2 baby quilts a month so that has kept me busy. This month there were a few more than usual..

I made this for one of my good friend's daughter who is also a good friend of daughter #1. Isn't he just the cutest?

These last two were custom orders...

And this one is another custom order for daughter #1. My kids are my number one customers!

I received a wonderful 4-H Volunteer award at our County Achievement meeting. My friend and I received an award for our work with the SPIN Sewing Club. It was so nice and meant so much to me!

Speaking of the 4-H Sewing Spin club, we meant again this month and made these wonderful Carrier bags thanks to a fabric donation from a good friend. These kids make me so happy!

And then last night my little neighbor girl asked me to come to her Girl Scout meeting where to be on a panel of women role models! I was so honored she selected me!

So to celebrate, I took her out for dinner and we had dessert of course!

Stash bust!

I was asked by my good friend and hair stylist if I would make a apron for a bake sale they were having for Earth Day. I had fabric in my stash that I had purchased specifically for aprons but hadn't taken the time to make them. These are my two favorite patterns! Aside from the aprons, I've been busy learning how to alter patterns to fit me better. Sarah Gunn of "Goodbye Valentino" is a blog that I recently discovered and have found her to be very inspirational. She had a great post on a Craftsy Class that she was reviewing "Sew the Perfect Fit" by Lynda Maynard. On her posts she gives a pretty good review and is offering a 40% deal. I had already joined Craftsy but hadn't really been interested in any of the classes. After reading Sarah's post, what did I find in my inbox but a coupon from Craftsy for any online class for $19! Well I took advantage of that coupon and purchased the "Sew the Perfect Fit" class!! Rather than u...

October UFO

Another month has started which means it's another UFO. I could get depressed about what I haven't been able to finish but instead I think I will be thankful for what I have finished! So with that, what's up for October? What does this mean for me? Well as far as sewing is concerned that means that my October UFO is the USA Map. I'd love to get this done and put it upstairs in my themed "vacation room". And what does it mean for knitting? I had chemo hats down but since those are all finished I modified my list to make knitted knockers. How appropriate for breast cancer awareness month! This challenge has been good and I have been to focus on things in my stash. Speaking of stash, Sherri from A Quilting Life blog had a great tutorial on a patchwork bag . I had some mini charm packs that I have been trying to figure out what to do with and this was the perfect project. Sew the squares together add...

And the UFO for May Is....

I've been a little busy so there are lots of things for me to catch up on. First of all I did not get much done on the UFO Challenge for April. I did get some baby booties done and delivered. I do hope that the moms will send me pictures of their little ones with cute little feet. As far as quilting is concerned.. not much got accomplished in April, maybe May will be more productive. The UFO for May is..... And according to my lists this is what I have scheduled..... The good news is that I started my LOVE quilt in March when I was on the quilt retreat. The LOVE blocks are all done. I have a few more small squares to cut up but then I should be able start sewing on it again. Knitting is always difficult. I should of worked on the cowl while I was on a conference last week but I needed to get some booties done for some upcoming new mamas. Because of this week long conference, I have had a chance to get lots of knittin...
