Pink Saturday

Please stop over to Beverly's, our hostest of today's event, http//howsweethesound.typepad.com.

One of my daughter's favorite things to do when we go shopping is she loves to stop at the perfume and make up counters and smell all the lovely scents.  There are soooo many georgous perfume bottles.  I'm thinking they ought to make them refillable....who wants to throw away those pretty bottles, wow, some are very pricey too.  The first batch of photos are from the counter at a local department store, then of course my phone died and when we went to one of her favorite places bath & body works I couldn't snap any photos, but I'm sure you all know what the pinks look like there.  Another trip and I stopped into VS and snapped a few, so many pretty pinks around the stores right now, I guess they really have caught on how to market to us by color!  So you know some of these lotions and potions will be under our tree this year, how about you what is your favoirte scent or do you try new ones each time, or are you going organic.  I won't spray anything on my skin anymore, I spray my clothes.

Happy Fabric Friday.  This is a very simple column quilt, inspiration from Kaffe Fassett V&A Museum Quilts Book.  The photos just dont' do the fabrics justice, they are very rich in color and complex design elements...I think Philip Jacobs print of the coleus is incredible, and the back is also a PJ print.  I quilted a new quilt design I have, in a plum thread but the quilting really doesn't show up too much with the fabulous prints take the center stage.
 

Quilted Christmas Gift

Shhhh....keep a secret....this is a sneak peak at a Christmas Quilt I'm making for a very special friend, it's going to be a wholecloth lap size quilt.  I've never stitched this pattern out before and it is turning out very nice, but wow, talk about thread and more thread, whew, taking lots of thread...about 1 and a hlaf blocks and I'm changing the bobbin.  The down side of this pattern as a long armer is the cutting of all the threads...but I think I'm starting to love the pattern the blocks are making together row after row and I think once it is watched and dried, it is going to look so very shabby chic and vintage.  What's everyone else working on for homemade gifts?  What do you think, I'm thinking an angels theme for this for items to go in the box with it.

Pink Saturday-Shopping at JoAnn's

Please stop by Beverly's, our lovely hostesss of the weekly event http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/ and enjoy your day, happy PS.

 

Shopping this week at JoAnn's Fabric Store.....so here's some of the pinks I found pretty pink Christmas ordaments, sparklie pink glass beads, pink scrapbook supplies, bolts of fabric arranged by color just for me, delicate ribbon trims, breast cancer awareness scissors {which I picked a pair up...have who know how many pairs of sciccors but they're llike socks at my house they just disappear} and cutting mat and storage box, and beautiful texutred yarn is various shades of pink.   I am amazed at the variety of items you can find at JoAnn's these days.  Remember when it was just sewing items years ago?   I think at this rate I could easily have a "pink" Christmas.  Happy Pink Saturday and thanks for stopping by today.  Two more posts and I will be at 200-watch for a give away!

For my first "Fabric Friday", I'm showing my quilt ladder, featuring some new quilts I've made and some vintage quilt tops that I've purchased and quilted. This is in my family room and is one of the ways I decorate with quilts.

What's on your Needles?

I'm almost done, this has been such a no brainer, fun project.  This Gossamer Shawl, so light and delicate and lacy and EASY...I'm hoping to wear it with a "little black dress".  I love the little tinsel like silver threads running thru the light blue mohair.  So tell me, what's on your needles?  I'll post a finished photo soon.
Here's the pattern in case any one is interested.
Gossamer Shawl, size 17 needles, cast on 35 stitches, work in st st until scarf is desired length and bind off!  It's that easy. 

Pink Saturaday-Barnes & Noble

Pink Saturaday at the Book Store {Barnes & Noble}....wandering about, I found a few favorite pinks in the store....just in case anyone reading wants to get me some Thanksgiving presents {sisters, daughter} lol!  I found some exquisite chocolates, a swanky gift card, some glitterly notes cards, an interesting novel intertwining a knitting theme, some awesome "bling" dominos, and a "sweet" cupcake calendar for 2010.  Anyone else, just get lost at the book store, escaping, dreaming, relaxing...one of my favorite places to go.  Photo quality-via phone.  Please stop by Beverly's, our lovely hostesss of the weekly event http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/ and enjoy your day, happy PS.

Letter from Jesus

Dear Friend: How are you? I just had to send a note to tell you how much I love you and care about you. I saw you yesterday as you were talking with your friends. I waited all day hoping you would want to talk with Me also. As evening drew near, I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you-and I waited. You never came. Oh yes, it hurt me -but I still love you because I am your friend. I saw you fall asleep last night and longed to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight upon your face and pillow. Again, I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you! You awakened late and rushed off to work without ever thinking of Me, and I still love you. My tears were in the rain. Today you looked so sad=so all alone. It makes My heart asche because I understand. My friends let Me down too and hurt Me many times, but I love you. Oh, if you would only listen to Me! I LOVE YOU! I try to tell you in the blue sky and in the quiet green grass. I whisper it in the leaves on the trees and breathe it in the colors of flowers. I shout it to you in the mojuntain streams and give the birds love songs to sing. I clothe you with warm sunshine and perfume the air with nature scents. My love for you is deeper than the ocean and bigger than the biggest want or need that you will ever have. Oh, if you only knew how much I want to walk and talk with you. We could spend an eternity together in heaven. I know how hard it is on this earth. I really know! And I want to help you. I want you to know my father. he wants to help you too. My father is the way, you know. Just call Me-ask Me-talk with Me! Oh, please don't forget Me. I have so much to share with you! All right, I won't bother you any further. You are free to choose or reject Me. It is your decision. I have chosen you and because of this I will wait-because I LOVE YOU! Your Friend, Jesus

This is one of the many poems and sayings I collect...I don't remember where this one came from, so I can't give credit to anyone, other than of course our Lord! Blessings to all who visit.
