Stitching Anyone?

Hey, if you have not found the Stitching Angels please do! It is fun..we just completed our first adventure with them...it is out of Austrailia..they LOVE to do stitching there and are very creative...Please visit the sight at Hugs from Helen...and connect with her friends and companies that stitch too.... she just completed some great new ideas for quilting also with her stitching and fabric..AMAZING!!
Also, I received my gifts from my stitching angel along with a pretty cotton towel from Austrailia.. if you Julia read this blog, please email me again, somehow I lost your address....I love the red work!!...love it all!
You made my day, and as the stitchers around the world agree (my angel that I sent too was in Norway)..agree....be nice to someone today.. and what better way than to stitch~~
Quilted Blessings!! Kari

Splash!

What Fun! Just watch and enjoy!!........yes, the diaper has expanded! Kari

Splish Splash I Was Takin' a Bath...

I ran up to my sons' home to pick up rick rack for my baby quilts and my grandbaby Cora was in her backyard with her Mama swimming in her pool....I laughed so hard when I saw her...her mama did not realized how large her diaper would expand if wet...she ended up looking 9 months pregnant, at the age of 2!!... she just waddled around and swam and played and jabbered happily! unlike a real mama at 9 months...they waddled but sometimes not that happily!

I am just checking in to let you know I am still alive, if anyone has even found my little glimmer of light on Capturing!....
I had good intentions and then I had to throw myself into getting ready for this huge festival that hits our town over Labor Day called Blueberry Fest..over 500000 come and I have no idea how to get ready for what to offer them!..so I am making large and small quilts, taking half yard pieces of my fabric that I have to offer out of my small shop in my cabin, and etc!
We will also have totes, baskets, aprons.. THANK YOU!!! to my daughter in law and daughter ...
I had my Subway break with my hub with some apples and popcorn..it is late but, I want to finish up the small crib quilt that is loaded on my Suziebell....
Get my chain pulled at the dentist in the morning! Yes, my youngest Grandbaby got her 2 year old eye teeth before mine came down, after a year with a chain on it! One mm at a time! ARGH!! it is close to erupting....I can tell!!!....Dobbie take off those braces!! otay? Now you know more about me than you ever wanted to know!
