Monday on Sunday Meeting - Jo of Lilly Pilly

Good morning staff! Happy Halloween to those of you that partake of the sugary festivities. I'm doing my Monday meeting today as tomorrow is the next block in A Sentimental Journey and the giveaway and I didn't want to take away from my featured friend. So without delay, let's get this meeting started.

This week I am delighted to introduce you to my friend Jo of Lilly Pilly. Like many of my new friends, she and I met through this wonderful world of blogging. Jo lives in Tasmania, Australia and works in engineering as a Civil Designer, but she also quilts and has designed stitcheries. I find it so cool when I meet people that are gifted on both sides of their brain! Let's just say that I am better at coloring than math. hee,hee,hee.

Jo has been working on a secret project that has now been sent to it's destination and will be revealed later on. She has been giving little sneaky peeks of some of the blocks.

This one is one of her favorites.

I love this one. You know me and my cute cottage obsession!

She also designed some stitcheries. Fun and charming. I love them!

As we here in the USA are steadily heading towards winter, our Aussie friends are moving into Summer. Jo posted that winter had a hard time leaving this year and they had an arctic blast. She and her coworkers went outside and collected some snow. Jo brought some snow back into the office and created this.

Well ya know I love the Snow Bunny! Too cute!

Hop over and visit with Jo. I know you will enjoy meeting her. Tell her Shell and the bunnies said hi!
Have a wonderful Sunday, a very fun Halloween and don't forget to come back tomorrow for the new block and giveaway!

Meeting adjourned.

It's Beginning to Look a lot like Chirstmas. A White Christmas that is!

Ok..so like I'm totally getting nutso excited about putting up my Christmas tree this year!!! Last year, after Christmas, I purchased a Martha Stewart white Christmas tree!!! Is it wrong that I wanted to put it up right away and leave it up all year???? I mean it's white and totally matches everything I own!!! I can hardly wait to show you.

In the meantime though, I have been working like crazy getting ready for the show after Thanksgiving. I've designed my booth layout and have been fine tuning the details. Don't ya just love my business card holder? Isn't he a smashingly smart looking fella?! He was a dark brown and you know what  I  um, David did...white spray paint.

This is the first time I have done a show of this size. I'm a tad bit nervous and I don't want to show up looking like a country bumkin. Although..... I will be wearing my hat....

Maybe they'll think I'm just missing a few marbles instead. Yeah...that'll work. hee,hee,hee.

If ya'll have been following me for a while, then you know "White is my Signature color." Everything in my booth will be white. There will be little hints of grey here and there, but for the most part it will be white because, hey, that's who I am and I believe white goes with everything and everyone can decorate with white even if it's only little bits here and there. Calm, Clean, Serene.

 These are the quilted tree pillows I was telling ya about.

They are foundation pieced and then quilted with a fancy stitch. When you love white and decorate with all white, it's all about adding texture. The different tone on tone patterns of white as well as the stitching give the texture. I drew the pattern myself as I wanted a cute little accent pillow. These look great on a bed, a chair, or even sitting on a shelf to bring a little holiday cheer. The jingle bells add just a touch of fun. I made six of them and enjoyed every single minute.

Well, gotta get back to work. I'll show you my wishing stars very soon!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas! Sing it with me!

Monday Meetings - Carolyn of Draffin Bears

Good morning my lovely staff. How are all of you on this beautiful day? Harrington, Sugie and I are doing great and looking forward to a productive week. Shall we get our meeting started?

This week I am delighted to introduce you to my friend, Carolyn of Draffin Bears. Carolyn lives in a beautiful place in New Zealand! Cool huh?

I tell ya, blogging has a way of bringing people together. I met Carolyn as she is a frequent visitor to my blog. She always has kind words to say and is yet another blogger I would love to meet in person so I could give her a big ol hug!

Carolyn has a wonderful blog. She not only is a wonderful bear artist (visit her shop here), but her blog posts contain a myriad of fun and interesting things from gardening, art, decorating, and inspirations.

I love this post she did. "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt by the heart." -Helen Keller

Carolyn is a wonderful gal and I'm so happy to call her my friend. Do hop over and pay her a visit. Tell her Shell and the bunnies say hi!

Have a fantastic and magical week everyone.
Meeting adjourned.

Somebunny's been naughty...Again!

Daddy said, "if somebunny doesn't stop hoping on the furniture and redecorating the buttons on the cushion, then that somebunny might just find himself in the yard sale next weekend."

Uhh... umm... oh...well...who...where...what happened?

I flipped the cushion and somebunny decided these three buttons needed a facelift. Naughty, naughty, naughty!

Yeah! Ya hear that dust bunnies? Daddy busted ya! You're gonna end up in the yardsale!

Second Item on the Bunny Bloggy Yardsale SOLD! THANK YOU!

I have postponed this weeks Monday Meeting as my special guest is super busy and is taking a blogging break. Plus, Saturday October 30th is my neighborhood yard sale and I want all of you to have the opportunity to view my bunny items first. So check back every day this week for a new item.

How it works. If you wish to purchase the item, you must EMAIL me, not leave a comment. The first EMAIL to me get's the item. I will then send you a Paypal invoice to your email.

SOLD! THANK YOU!Ok, so up today is actually two things because I think they look good together. You don't have to use them together, but they look good together, so why not use them together. Have I confused you yet? hee,hee,hee.

This sweet little bunny is a soft creamy color. He measures 7" w x 4" h. The pedestal base that he likes to hang out in measures 10" w x 7" h.  I'm asking $20.00 for the bunny and pedestal and the shipping will be $15.00 because the pedestal is a bit heavy. So for a total of $35.00 you can have this!

Remember, first email wins! Good luck!
