The First In A Long Line...................

Hello, everyone! I am glad to see all of y'all! First off I want to tell everyone that I had an auto accident on Tuesday. It actually rained in this part of Texas............Well Lockhart any way! I hydroplaned off the road. My car went through three lanes of traffic(with out hitting any other car!). Down a bar ditch sideways the rear tire hit a covert(that is what finally stopped the car). I wound up sitting in the parking lot of The First Assembly of God Church! At that point I knew who I needed to thank!

So, I am just letting everyone know that I am a week behind in everything that I am doing here at the house. Ladies who are receiving prizes from my blog teaser they will be mailed out on Monday God willing! I took this weekend to try and catch up on my Round Robins and am almost there! I have two that I will be posting on this week well maybe three as I don't think that the third that I started this weekend will take me very long! Inspiration has HIT with that one!

I also started work on my Basic Quilting class for StitchMAP. I am mentoring two ladies through this class and taking it myself.
I had thought to myself how am I going to make this class a challenge for myself. It is a BASIC class after all..........
Then it came to me, color! Pick out colors that I would never pick out and learn to work with them thought this class.(I have to find a challenge in everything that I do. That is how I learn all the different things that I learn. Who is to say that I wont need to know how to work with these colors later?? I will already be ahead of the game!) Here are the pictures of the material that I picked out for the class:

What do y'all think?? Great colors, huh?? I cant wait to show off how these projects are coming along! I think that the finished projects will be stunning! When I get finished piecing them I will put up the photos!

But you always wanted to smack your sister in the back of her head just because she was annoying you? Oh! Wait a minuet! That was me! That particular sister is now a correctional officer in McAllister, Oklahoma! She is able to annoy a whole new group of people!

Debbies Landscape Block

When I received Debbie H.'s landscape block I immediately thought Saguaro cactus! It has colors that lend themselves to a beautiful desert landscape. Karrin's tree reminded me of those beautiful Ponderosa pines! So this block has went southwest. All the way to the Sonora Desert! That is where I got all my inspiration from is the pictures of the Sonora Desert. I googled them and the rest is history for this block!

I wish I could do more but it needs to go to the next person! I added the stitching around the desert floor and little desert pond. I also added the Saguaro Cactus of course! The little flowering vine. This plant can be seen in the Sonora Desert of course! BTW the Sonora Desert has hundreds of beautiful flowers to choose from! Also added the beads of which I am passing on to the next people on the list to use if needed!

I hope that everyone else enjoys this block as much as I did!

New Number 5

In my quest of making my blog teasers more challenging and entertaining, I try to come up with questions that make y'all really look and learn about these great early actresses! These ladies the fore mothers of the modern day actresses had a hard and challenging life! They lived and worked in a time and era where the actress was looked upon as a tramp or worse! Yet there were a few who broke that mold!

My original question number 5 for Julia Sanderson was a challenging one, that everyone came close to but could not quite find the answer. So in the sense of fair play and a happy teaser, I deleted it and made a new number 5.

The first person who answers this question right will win the squishie, second person right will win the 2 replica silkies.

Question No. 5:

Frank Crumit, was married to Julia Sanderson in 1927. He had some popular phonograph records. Name 3 of his songs.

Good luck ladies!
