These little cuties are my granddaughters. Hailie and Emma. They are all ready for trick or treating. Emma has chosen a princess costume and with the help of grandma she is ready. She has even been practicing her "trick or treat!' and "thank you". Hailie, grandma's little bug, is all excited to be going trick or treating with her big sister. Hailie can say "Please" so she is practicing also. The girls have no problems with wearing their costumes, and actually momma has a hard time getting them to take them off. This sunday, Papa Bill has promised to be home from hunting early so he can show his two little angles how to make a jack o lantern. We will see how that goes.

Sister's weekend
This is Jessica my niece and her son Teddy. Jessica was kind enough to open her house for the sister's weekend. Her house was filled with sewing machines, ironing boards and cutting boards. We just sort of took over. Jessica had to work the weekend and didn't get to spend much time with us as we sewed and babysat her son. We managed to get a few things done but spent time just visiting more. It was a great weekend, and thank you so much Jessica for opening your lovely new home for us and making me feel welcome. And Teddy, you still are my favorite great nephew as I am your favorite Auntie Mutz.

Friday afternoon
I will be leaving shortly for Green Bay. My niece has been kind enough to open up her house for me and her mother to spend the weekend in a sewing marathon. My sister has traveled from her home in Michigan and brings with her some projects that have long sat in her stash. I too have a few new items I would like to start, and one big project that needs to be finished. The quilt I made for Bill's christmas present needs to be sandwich and the binding sewed on. We will see how much actually gets acomplished this weekend.
My youngest daughter recently moved to Green Bay, and I have no idea where the house is. She has been calling on the adverage of once a day this week, just to make sure I take time out to stop and visit her. She has a motive in mind. She needs curtains for the master bedroom and she is hopeing mom will come to the rescure. So I am sure there needs to be some time in my busy schedule this weekend to measure windows and shop for fabric for these curtains. (oh my god, shop for fabric, that could be dangerous)
I am so looking forward to this trip. Lots of fabrics, lots of projects and lots of chocolate!

Sunday evening
What a relaxing sunday. Very cool and rainy most of the day. But it was perfect for sewing. Bill was still gone and was not due to be home from his hunting weekend till later in the afternoon. So with a quiet house I got alot of work done. I finished up four more grocery totes for relatives for christmas. And then I found in my stash a pillow case kit that I bought at the quilt expo last month. I had to laugh at myself as I was sewing away on this dinosaur pillow case. Hopefully Ivan will be happy with this pillow case. Very easy to put together, my goodness it just took a matter of minutes. So here goes my mind again, thinking oh maybe I will have time to make a few more for the rest of the grandchilden in between everything else that needs to be done. I started a tablerunner that was in my stash too. I actually got the top done so maybe one night this week I will have time to sandwich it and quilt. This pattern also was very easy to do.
It certainly was a productive weekend. I manage to get the house cleaning done, all my errands done, some sewing projects done or started, and I managed to get some BBQ ribs cooking in the slow cooker so Bill had a nice big warm meal when he returned home.
The weekend went fast and monday will be here all too soon, and back to work we must go.

Dinosaur Costume
I guess there will be one less dinosaur out and about trick or treating this year. Poor Ivan. He just was not happy at all with his dinosaur costume. He said "I don't wanta momma!"
Now his little brother Nickolas, well there was a brave little guy. He wore the costume and just pranced around the house with it. Too bad it was too big for him. Oh well, there is always next year. At least grandma got the costume done in time.
BOM #5
Well this BOM was a joy to do. I just zipped thru it. I am either getting better, or the BOM's are getting easier. It still is not perfect, but for me it is good. I mean really good, I surprise myself with how these blocks are turning out. I am ready for the next one.
