I'm bursting with Glee



I feel very lucky in many ways. Three beautiful, sweet daughters, a wonderful man I'm proud to call my husband, and now two little adorable grandsons. We are all healthy and doing good. I'm living the life I imagined when I was young. So you see I feel very lucky but I have not been lucky at lotteries or drawings or giveaways until now. I had entered many giveaways in hope of this would be nice, so when I enter one at One Good Thing by Jillee it was like so many I have done. And because I usually get passed by I forget about checking back. Then last week I received that email we all love to get , 
YOU WON
 Oh boy but the best part was the prize



iphone-canon giveaway


There were 2600 entries and I was not expecting to win.
I chose the camera, I have been wanting just this one too.
Now that I am feeling better,  I think I can concentrate on the manual and figure out all the bells and whistles.  It has been years since I have used a camera of this sort, to date me I have still my 35mm (using real film) Fujica. I had taken a lot of good photos with that camera.
So expect to see better photos from me, that will be one of my New Year Resolutions.
I hope you will have some good luck if you haven't yet.

I would like also to get a big Thanks to Jillee and her generous prize. If you haven't been her blog you should check it out. She has post on a variety of topics and subjects, from cooking to cleaning  to everything else.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

It's for the Birds

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
