Friday Morn.....matching cell phone case

Would have been so much quicker if my machine did not decide to start skipping stitches!.  Going to have to figure out what is wrong before I do any more sewing.  I wasted a lot of thread.

Oh well, it keeps me from getting bored!

Thursday Eve.....quick project!

I found this adorable vintage needlepoint purse in a local store a few months back and finally decided to start using it.  The only problem is that my wallet was too fat to fit (not due to money).  So I decided make something for my credit cards & license.

Made this cute quilted holder, with snaps, in just a few minutes.  I may have to make another one for my cell phone!

 When looking through my vintage sewing case for snaps I found a card of them marked 5 cents!   I guess they are vintage too!  I will post a pic of my sewing case soon, its really unique!

Saturday Evening - WOW!




Hey all,
Well it has been an interesting few days.  We live in the Northeast and the worst weather we endure are blizzards.  Thursday afternoon a severe storm hit and along with it at least one tornado!!  For the most part we did okay, but there are others that did not fair as well.  2 homes pretty well destroyed and lots of other damage.

We lost power almost immediately and it just came back on.  There were power lines and poles down all over the place. 

I know it does not compare to Joplin Mo or other hard hit towns, but still scary, especially since we are not prepared for this type of weather event!

So grateful to the Lord for keeping our home & ourselves safe!  Hubby was not home and it took him a long time to get here.  He had to drive around fallen trees, downed lines etc.  The Lord kept him safe though!
