I'm all caught up!

I shipped off the last custom order I had for this year. It consisted of two memory quilts and three pillows. I think they turned out pretty nice and the customer seemed pleased.

After getting that order shipped off, I was able to work on a Christmas Shopping Bag! I used it as a gift bag for a Christmas Party/gift exchange I went to. It seemed to be a hit!

Where does the time go?

I often think about a new blog entry, and then time gets away from me and I don't get it done.

A lot has happened in the past three weeks! First of all, I completed another t-shirt quilt for a customer. It is a very basic design, but it is what the customer requested. Here are a couple pictures:

The other "big" thing that happened is just a little bit crazy. A couple years ago I went on a diet. I opened my mouth and told my daughters-in-law that if I got to my goal weight I would get my belly button pierced. My husband told me I was totally crazy to make such a bet. Of course, the girls held me to my word. I have lost about 35 pounds and the deed is done.

There, my secret is out. It really didn't hurt nearly as bad as I thought it would, however I have learned that where your waistline hits is a VERY important detail!
