What I have Been Up To

Hello to everyone and a big GOOD MORNING!

I know that everyone has been wondering what has that Lion been up to lately?? I have been up to quite a bit actually! Most of it has been behind the scenes stuff for StitchMap. I needed to organize quite a few Angels here up late. Last week I did take a few days to work on some projects that need to go out to some wonderful ladies! When they get these they will be surprised. I also have my tag swap. Today I am sitting down at my sewing machine to stitch up some more blocks. No, no advance peek on these yet……… But I will share what I have been working on for the last few days!



Here is a 100% cotton wall hanging that I will be working on through my Lost Pines Crazy Quilt Group:

Here is a finished tin top, all I need to do is sit down and put together the tin.

Here is the tin top that I am stitching on currently:

I know that this one is not finished yet.  Do not worry I will show it after it is finished.

There is a third that I need to stitch on I just don’t have a picture of it. I am wanting to glue all three at the same time so after I finish the third I will show all the finished tins!

This is also not the last post for the day. I am heading over to the Mischief Blog to tease my fellow mischief’s!

Here is a final hint for the day. I would not go very far as I am going to put up another “Catch My Star” teaser!!!

A Peek At The Past

Recently on my StitchMap group one of the ladies had been web surfing.  She had found this really cool blog of a fellow CQer.  She quickly shared it with the group.  (As everyone knows we ALL love eyecandy!)  When I visited this blog and started to scroll down she had put up this block:

I quickly went back to the group and posted that that is my block!  I am the lucky person to have her talented fingers all over my block.  This ladies name is Laurie.  I also told everyone on the group that I would put all the pictures of this RR for their enjoyment.  So here they are!

This block Cobi worked on for me.

This block Leslie worked on for me.

This block Simona worked on for me.

This block Ati worked on for me.  This block is a treasured block as it has a button she added from her grandmothers button box.

And this block Leslie worked on also for me.

So there they are!  My Magic Moments RR revisited!
I would like to thank the ladies from this RR all over again!

Stop The Press!!

Okay, I have been reading my blogs, and I came across a post.  It said that she could not exclude her friends from out of the country.  Well that piked my intrest.  I clicked on the picture indicated.  It went to her give away post.  Here is the link: http://treasuresfromtheheartgifts.blogspot.com/2010/02/pink-saturday-teabag-roses-and-giveaway.html . 

Check out the pin cushin!  What I would like to know is how it is made!  WOW!  Now who would not like one of those as a birthday gift????
