Brag Pictures!!!

 Outside was freezing! Like minus a billion and two freezing! I took a few photos and then I could no longer feel my finger to push the camera buttons. So I took some inside photos too!

 Holy we have snow here too! That is a snow drift in my backyard! Its giant! I cannot wait till spring. You can't see any traces of it from here but to the left of this snow drift is my garden.

 I love my rads when the heating is working like it should be! This one we touched up last year when I painted the living room. And then I got my electrical updated! Worst nightmare ever! Now I have giant holes in my walls that are going to be a pain in the ass to repair. Then I'll have to paint again!

 Hanging on the banister!

 The couch with the remote (you all see that I actually know where the remote was! That normally doesn't happen for me!)

Stairs! These are my cats favorite place to play! I encouraged him to go take a nap in my room while I took photos. Its not so hard when its so cold out. He likes to sleep on the third floor in the "man room"

Shattered Hooter Update!

Just updating everyone on my progress with my Shattered Hooter Blanket! I've been working on the Shattered Glass Border the last few days and I think it's coming along nicely!

I also wanted to show everyone my "Downstairs" fabric stash!

It's not perfect but its not terrible! I'm actually pretty excited!

A Domestic Thursday

Once again I had so much to share and I forgot to blog! This Blogtoberfest challenge really is tough! Hopefully day I can do one for yesterday and one for today. :)
Yesterday I baked some Oh Henry squares from one of my grandma's recipes. It's delicious! Then I made some Zippy Pineapple chicken for dinner.
After the baking and while making dinner I started actually sewing my baby quilt! It's coming along really well! Aside from the seam ripping because I stitched the one block the same as its mirror image from the other side. Who knew an owl needed a left and a right wing.
So far I know I have to improve on my seam lining up but I'm sure in time with practice I'll be able to nail those suckers! (Please feel free to comment with hints and tips for making that happen!)

Progress Report

I am beyond excited to show you all how much progress I have made so far in October!

Drumroll please!

Blogtoberfest! Starts

Being relatively new to Blogging I had no idea that there was so many things that happened between blogs. My step sister, The Purple Quiltapotamus, said that she was going to do Blogtoberfest. And I just happen to have a new project to start that could use a little motivation so I thought that I would join. See if I'm up for I Saw You Dancing's challenge! Challenge Accepted! 

New Project!

My friend is having a baby in December. It will be her third baby and Three is going to be the first girl. Poor thing with two older brothers. I wish her the best already. And I decided that I wanted to learn to quilt. (Please feel free to give advice! I look forward to it!) So I went to the book store Chapters yesterday. After getting a Latte and a snack I made my way to the crafting section and lucked out because the quilting was at floor level! I planted myself on  the floor and started pulling books! After about an hour I finally decided on one book! By Boo Davis!

Then I came home and flipped through checking out all the pictures and fought long and hard between the skull and the owl. This time the owl won out. After making notes to make the size adjustments (in my newly appointed stitching notebook, not in my book, don't be silly) I consulted a few people and the choice was clear. I'll keep the brown and change the green and blue to pink and purple! So a quick trip to the fabric store and raiding my previous fabric stash I'm ready to begin!

FABRIC!
