a project done, a gift and I am packed.....

First of all the project...I made this cute little flower pincushion thing with an attached bag for scraps and threads...it is a pretty good size too..There are some pattern issues, but I improvised...something I do a lot of. sometimes without meaning too...I am going to make a second one when I get the time....It will probably be my third giveaway item for OWOH....If you havent entered, please scroll down and do so...it is open to everyone that has a blog.....Here is the pincusion bag from the front...

Here it is looking down at the pincushion.....

Now that I have the bugs worked out, I think I can make it faster and better...This one took awhile....
In the mail I also got a Thank you gift from Colleen from http://mainstreetmemories.blogspot.com She won my quilt giveaway a few months back...It is the wonderful reto travel trailer night light...I think it is about the cutest thing I have seen and it was so unexpected!!!

Isnt it just adorable?
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Colleen!



Now what could be going on here? It looks like a suitcase...It is almost Valentines Day and we are going somewhere special!


The cat is out of the bag...We leave tomorrow morning and we are staying for eight days...I am pretty excited and boy over the last three years have I earned this vacation!The laptop is coming so I will still be keeping up with things.....Mahalo, melinda
