Scrapbook Christmas Gift

 I did take a photo of the cover just in case my Secret Pal goes surfing my blog. This is what I've added in the last couple of days. I need to stop because the Junk Book is getting to fat....hehehehehe!

Most of my ideas so far have come from Pat at The Paper Outpost and Natasha at Treasure Books.

Joyce Carter sent me a link to fabric and memories. (Thanks sooooooo much Joyce...this from Mr. Cowboy.....cause I kind of threw you under the bus for giving me the link). I managed to save the link to my bookmark pages before Mr. Cowboy blew his top. I think he was really a bit hungry so I fixed him a quick snack.  Anyway, look at these cute tiny envelops. They are so cute & very simlpe to make.

These tags were fun and quick to make as well.

On this page I threw in a little pocketbook calendar for 2023.

And finally, I made a dangly thingy for the back spine. I'm going to call it quits......maybe.

Remember, for some reason your comments do not show up in my email......trust me I've tried everything. So I've gone to responding in my comments. And thanks you all for the warm comments. I read each one as often as I can.

Four Down

Rhonda's New Project

Again, thank you Shasta for sharing the link to Daisy Yellow's "Index Card project." It's been a life saver for something to do while waiting to move into the new house.  I've been canning but that's a waiting game between the next step of rinsing the cucumbers to marinating them in the spices, etc. So this is new project is one where as I think of things to place on the cards, I can look thru magazines and old books, cut things out, then throw away, ahem, secretly get rid of the trash....shhhhhh.....Mr. Cowboy doesn't like for me to use his tractor/Ag magazines to cut from but what he doesn't know won't hurt ME!!!......LOL.
Anyway, I decided to make my Index Card project about All Things Texas as I see it. I made 4 in one sitting while Mr. Cowboy was baling hay......I know, sneaky was I.
 

While Recouping

I ordered two great Bible study books the other day and am very happy with them. My girlfriend, Molly has gotten me hooked with ordering from

Christianbook.com

It's amazing what I've gotten done while my eye is healing. I even was able to stitch on a label on a quilt.

What are you doing this weekend?

BTW, I want to thank everyone who has kept me in stitches with their stories of eye surgery. I love reading every comment so please keep them coming. Mr. Cowboy loves them too because it keeps me out of his hair. He can kick more dirt and not worry about me.....hehehehehehe!

Another Tangent

As you've by now guessed, I love eagles and any chance I get, I love to play around with fabric making my interpretation of their majestic bodies. So I'll be making a small-ish quilt (45" to 60") from these beauties. I need to make a few more before deciding on placement but I'm sure Mr. Cowboy will need help with the feeding and such before I can get to do much more at this point. BTW, all the eagles, so far come from my scraps of fabric which seems to be growing instead to disappearing.....huummmmmm!!

 

Many thanks to the bloggers who responded to "One Of My Favorite Things.....NOT!! It was about binding quilts.

• Joyce commented that she doesn't like the cutting process of quilting.
• Mary commented that she didn't like the cutting when dealing with garment sewing.
• Barb doesn't like to stitch the one line of pieces one after the other.
• And Gene doesn't care for binding either.

Then there was my post about the Word Cloud or Old Dog New Trick. Thanks to Mary, Gene and Magpie for your warm comments. I am looking forward to doing more "word cloud" in the near future.
