Check out this photo I took last week. Notice the rainbow in the clouds around the sun. I think it was this rare phenomenon. WOW!!!!
My friends Judith and Richard's blog. Nice.

Ice, ice baby.

A step in the right direction!

Wow.

Cute DIY.

If my girls were still little I'd make them one of these. Sigh.

I need to make one of these. (for embroidery on the go!)

I hope you have a great weekend. My house is still wrapped in plastic. There is a mold removal team there as I write this. I still live in a hotel. I dream of sleeping in my own bed. Teresa

Take that!

Take that TO DO list! Teresa

Workday Wednesday

This is what my basement/studio area looks like right now. Remember upstairs? It's all such a mess it makes me want to cry. Sigh. 
But, a thread donation last week made me super happy! We don't get thread very often. This is about 1/4 of the donation. Yay!
 This is my current studio in the hotel room…
 My "new" cardboard box organizing system…
 I have got to get on top of things. A TO DO list is sure to help.
Dark chocolate helps too. What are you working on? Teresa

Illinois Bags!

Hi Teresa, I am trying this again. Hope this time the picture comes through. I am for Illinois and I love using the bags you make. It brings color and cheer into an everyday chore, grocery shopping. I tend to get asked if I made them and have to say "no" but I can give you the name of the lady that does. So I give them your web site. Thank you for helping us make our part of the world a greener place.

It's still winter so…PENGUIN FREEBIE!

It's been very cold here in Colorado this past week. Below 0 most days, brrrrrr! Seems appropriate to have a winter theme freebie, yes??  How about PENGUINS? All this super cute fabric came in a donation and it's so, so fun.

While I was going through the fabric, it reminded me of a book my friend Stephanie gave me for my 22nd birthday. Many moons ago…
Stephanie told me the book reminded her of me because I was such an individual and so was Tacky…
The gist of the book is that penguin hunters come to capture Tacky and his friends but are confused when all the penguin, under the direction of Tacky, start acting weird, not like penguins at all.
The hunters get so confused that they run away. Go Tacky! That fabric on the top of the stack in particular reminds me of the book.
How about it? Would you like to be one of 18 lucky people to win a super cute PENGUIN bag?? You can be an individual while shopping!

To enter to win a BAG (open to everyone, world-wide):

What's up?

This is happening at my house due to damage from the summer storms. Arg. Lots going on, inside and out…
Our insurance company moved us into a hotel. This is what I did while I watched the Superbowl. Oh,  Broncos, sigh…
 I even brought a machine to the hotel and have been sewing bags…
My Little Man keeps taking photos of his Lego creations with my phone. This has some thing to do with Minecraft
At least we have been getting some pretty snow to lift my spirits. I'm not super excited about hotel life. I like my own bed and house! Ugh.
I hope you all have a lovely week! Teresa
