Fingerless Mitts

Simple pattern from Jodie at The Yarn Angel

Just using up some scraps that happen to match. Love it when that happens!

Guitar Heroes

Notice my knitted socks! They're my lucky guitar socks now!

Glens Falls in a Thaw

Walks are awesome on a warm rainy day....


after a long c-c-c-c-cold winter...

Abby, soakin up some Spirit...

Knock... Knock...

Of Dragons and Kings

A hand painted dragon will become a nunchaku case for George's BD. I'm just going to add a little relief quilting and then make a long skinny draw string bag with it and line with wool felt.

The Dragon Slayer... a project for an upcoming swap... running a little behind as usual. Next up will be a Gees Bend mini swap.

... And King Carl, modeling the Fort Hudson Employee of the Year outfit.

Shower Away!

The shower curtain is finally done... and mailed away. Can't wait to see it in her bathroom!

I used buttonholes this time instead of grommets. I wanted to try my hand (and new machine) at something new.

And, here's the ball of yard... it finally turned into a hat...


A little pillow for a quick birthday gift last weekend...

And now, time to get busy on 4 mini quilts for the 6-12" mini quilt swap!

Mr. Q in the Kitchen

Not a hat...

There's just no way that this can ever become anything that would fit a head... thinking (after 4 x's working and ripping out again) that there's some "dec sc's" missing. the pattern has a mistake... The ball of yarn has maybe one more life in it, so i'm cutting my losses and trying a different pattern from the book!

A break from crafting...

Stopping to take a break from quilting and such to help Mr. Q build a workbench... about time we did a little organizing in that garage!

Making space...

Mr. Q's drill bites the dust...

Off to Lowe's for a new one...

apparently, green drills work better...

Some finished holiday gifts...

The New Library

A walk downtown Thursday night in the snow to see the new Crandall Library that just opened TODAY! This pretty house we passed had a tree on the front porch, neat!

Downtown Glens Falls

Almost there... just gotta stop to dream

There it is!! Crandal Library

We didn't get to stay inside very long and they closed the library early due to inclement weather, here part of the children's room.

Here's some cool art on the wall (artist: Melissa Mastrangelo)

Quilt finished

Our youngest finally gets her quilt! Finished it a few days ago. Now it's just Mr. Q and I that don't have one, but a nice little collection of kaffe facett fabrics is growing in my stash! So... as soon as the holidays are over, look out...

It's in the BAG!

Okay another one of these cute little patchwork bags. This time Grace made a horsey one for herself. yay Grace!

One side....

Then a little shake shake...

and a poke here and there...


Voila! It's a new bag!

Shakara's Pillow

A pillow for a friend...




I've never tried the satin stitch machine applique, so this was an experiment.
The corners were a little hard to maneuver, but overall, not too bad.
