Happy Friday! We made it!!

This week I finished up the dreidel quilt that will be the second of two mini quilts in a new pattern for Hanukkah.

This dreidel mini quilt along with the menorah mini quilt will be offered as a pattern in a few weeks. I just have to type it and send it off for pattern testing. I don’t have a name for the pattern yet…any suggestions? I’d love to hear from you!

Last Friday was a huge day around here for us. After 5 very long years, Amanda finally got her braces off!! She’s been hoping and praying that they would be off in time for prom and her France trip and every effort and I mean every effort, was made to make that a reality for her. After numerous appointments and 4 tooth implants, we’re finally making progress. She’s not done by any stretch but the biggest factor for her was getting the braces off. All 3 girls and I have Oligodontia which is multiple congenitally missing teeth caused by a gene mutation. So even though it will be a long road of dental issues all around, we had to celebrate this big, momentous occasion with a cake!! Yay Amanda!!

I had some really fun mail this week from podcast listener and blog reader, Lori!! She sent me a bunch of fun fabrics to be used in making the comic show toiletry bags. I love them all and can’t wait to have a bag sewing session! Many thanks, Lori. It made my day for sure!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can hardly believe Easter is next week….where does the time go? I really need to go clean my house…

Have a fabulous weekend everyone! Oh…almost forgot…here’s a great article from the Wall Street Journal on doodling. A study was done that showed doodling aids in constructing new, creative ideas. So doodling one image led to even more creative ideas and images. It was also shown that people who doodled while listening to a long list of names could recall 29% more of those names than those who didn’t. I know I could use some help with recall so I better get doodling which coincidentally is not something I normally do. Check out the article and let me know what you think. Click here for the article.
