From This to That

Wow! I feel like I've been accepted to the Olympic team! I am over the moon excited to have my block chosen as one of the featured blocks on Tuesday! I am still flabbergasted! I have sew enjoyed reading all the sweet comments. Welcome to all my new followers too!
At work we are moving my office from one end of the building to the other and on Tuesday they moved my computer-but it didn't get hooked up right so no Internet! EEK! I have also been without my cell phone since Friday! double eek! The phone in my office is also not hooked up....technology withdrawals! I have been getting off work so late that I couldn't get to the library either, last night I left work at 9:00pm! I finally got my phone back last night and they fixed the computer yesterday. I actually have the day off due to working weekends and am at MySweetMommie's working on a "from this ....to that" project- maybe even a tutorial. I was finally able to mail the very late traveling stash box this morning and get to go to a birthday party for I G tonight. My other giveaways will be mailed on Monday.
Stay tuned for the project we are working on! I like it!

Dont forget to check out the Christmas blocks! I am trying to catch up while MySweetmommie stitches!

It's Beginning to look alot like Christmas here in blog land- take a look at these blogs today, then catch up from yesterday with paper pieced blocks and more.

For some music to put you in a Christmas mood click here ( it will pop up up in another window) and then you can hop back over and listen whilst you gaze upon my Christmas blocks

I was a bit frantic as today approached! It must be Christmas :)

I have had 2 of my blocks done since before I knew about this hop and I put them in a safe place ( sounds like what I do with all my Christmas gifts too) and I forgot where I put them! Thankfully the LORD knew and He reminded me this morning- why is it we always wait to ask Him? I found the bag right where I put it after playing with my paper pieced block.

My first block is my candy block- after searching for just the right pattern- I made up my own. lotsa HST's in this one!

Next is my present block. If you are around me any length of time you know I love to wrap presents. Last Christmas, Sunshine Boy informed his mama that Aunt Bobbie says" its not wrapped without a bow"- he now has his own box of ribbons and is in charge of wrapping presents! Well, I found package blocks and I found bow blocks but I didn't find one I liked, so guess what? I made up my own pattern.

it's hard to tell from the picture
(and because i forgot to press the blocks before taking pictures)
but the bow is 3D

I took two patterns and smooshed them together.

My last block is my first attempt at paper piecing. I need to add borders around it. I used the tutorial for Candy Corn over at Madame Samm's and turned it into a tree. I need to practice more ALOT MORE. I am working on bowls for the next hop and not having the best luck with them. Regina was kind enough to make me a beginners pattern. I haven't tried it yet but we will see!

Have a Merry Time Hopping thru the snow

PS#2 many of you asked about my blog's background last hop- it is a baby quilt I made for my "daughter's" baby (I am Cindy's Mommie #2) Blogger tiled it to make the back ground

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANKYOU to Santa Lesley and Madame Samm for hosting this HOP!
