I'll start with my Stash Busting effort for this week...I cut our new Little Miss' quilt this week...look at that Swanky fabric...happy, happy fabric ...so it's cut and counted...I didn't count the back and binding yet...I'll count that later.

I'm pretty happy with my weight loss...I've really changed how I eat and it's working...since we started I've lost 5 pounds...I didn't post last week...so I'm catching up...I don't have a clue where the time goes.
I had a very fun time this week...I went to my friend Jeanne's for a quilter's sleepover and we sewed and laughed...we had decided that we were going to do a FUN project...Miss Rosie's Tuffet's...
OMG if you haven't made some of these, you must give them a try...you don't bust much stash...but you can start and finish all in the same day...no UFO's...we sure had fun making these
Carrie....Thanks so much.
I won a drawing over at
Nan's blog and I got the most wonderful package in the mail...look at all those patterns, awesome charm packs and the cutest Mary E journal...thanks Nan...that was wonderful, wonderful mail.
I've been sewing...I've been getting some BOM's caught up, I did 5 more pillowcases for my friend Jami, and some 3" star blocks for Judie's Tribute by Carol Hopkins/Civil War Legacy pattern...
these are just so darn cute...I love doing them...but not much stash busting there either...LOL!
OH! I almost forgot...a low calorie dessert recipe from Jeanne...she made this for us and I'm telling you it is YUMMY!
Lemon Fluff Pie
Small box Sugar Free Lemon Jello
6 oz. container fat free lemon yogurt
8 oz. light Cool Whip
10" graham cracker crust
In a large bowl dissolve lemon jello in 1 cup hot water (she heated it in the microwave)...after it is dissolved add 1/2 cup cool water. Refrigerate for 40 minutes (no more-no less)
Fold in yogurt and Cool Whip. Pour in crust and refrigerate overnight.
Trust me...it is delish!
plus several bags of little pieces...we have to bundle everything up for the garbage men or they won't take it...no branches longer than 6 feet...no bundles over 20 pounds...and after all our work I don't want them to leave anything behind.
the pattern is "Sadie's Sampler" by Lori Smith. I'm loving this pattern and Homestead Hearth's fabric selection is just wonderful.
This is a great pattern and really shows off this fun Swanky fabric. It's called Paisley Party by Liz Lois and Terry Atkinson and is on the Red Rooster Fabrics website...I'm thinking I should be able to get it done in the next few days.

Yup, somewhere I lost a day...I missed Loser Monday...so here I am on Tuesday...nothing good to report...somehow I gained half a pound. I'm still eating well, no cheating...I'm at the gym working out 3 days a week and walking 3 days a week...I'm feeling good and my clothes are fitting way better...so I'm not too upset. I'm sticking with it!
...I've never gotten a package from Australia in my entire life...it was so exciting.
Kate had a drawing on her blog a couple of weeks ago and I won...YIPPEE! 
Cute pillow cover made from Swell...I'm going to get a pillow form tomorrow...I have just the right place to put it...yummy, yummy chocolate and an Australian Homespun magazine...I just love it...thank you Kate.
This is going to be the prettiest quilt....and best of all...I'm all caught up.
top done and ready to go to my friend Jami and I made a dog bed
for the shelter...1 yard of fabric for the outside cover and a couple month's a trimmings off of blocks, from straightening fabric, the dog ears off half square triangles. The shelter loves them because they're all cotton and they can be washed and dried a million times and they usually send them home with the dogs when they get adopted...I can make more.
I couldn't get a really good picture of the whole top...so here's a little bit of it hanging over my ironing board...please don't look under and around the quilt...it's a mess under there.
I think I'll cut out the top for our "Little Miss'" quilt tomorrow. I'm on a roll.
It's a wonderful Monday, even if I am a LOSER! It's wonderful because our Steelers won! It was a nail biter and a really good game! The Cardinals were tough! And I'm a loser...I was very well behaved yesterday...Andy wanted Chili Cheese dip...nothing good in that...can of Chili with No Beans and a big hunk of Velvetta...served with Frito Scoops...I didn't eat a single Frito, I did have a couple of my favorite Baked Tostito Scoops with a little of his dip...we got wings for the game and I just ate a few...I can control myself...so my big result...down .5 pounds...again, not a lot but continuing to go in the right direction.
