Next House Quilt Block

I stayed up later last night so that I could make another house block. I think the green is too bright but I love bright colors so it's a keeper. I'm too tired to make a block tonight and I'm cold and just want to go to bed and get warm under the electric blanket.

Answer to November 27th Post

Since no one has an answer I will tell you what the hats are from -------------Christmas Ornaments!!! Walk through the store sometime and think about what you can make from other things. I do that and come up with good and not so good items.
I found this recipe

for a fruitcake (I love fruitcake) and thought I would share. Does anyone else like fruitcake? My mother made a fruit cake every year. Mmmm

This is the house that I was talking about that I made last night. I used Batik because I had the scrap lying there. In fact all of the pieces are scraps.

This is the URL to Attic24. I think that you will enjoy her Blog.

Two Things to Show You

This is another of my thrift store finds and I will post a photo of the bottom as we usually see that stamp "Made in Japan" or "Made in China" but this one is not like that. We have a larger Japanese and Chinese community here so I assume that someone purchased it there at a local shop and to me that makes it so much more special. Does anyone know how to read this? Don't you think that it's beautiful? A great $8.00 find.

I really like to read Attic24's Blog and she did these cool things with houses as they have lived in their house for one year. So Last night I was going through and old quilting magazine and saw a house that I wanted to make. I stayed up and made one square. I would not put the same fabric strip across the front but I love this block and I think that I may work on a quilt or wall hanging of these houses.

I hope that everyone is having a great day. It has been snowing here on and off all day but not sticking. It's getting colder and since we're not used to it being so cold it just goes to the bone! I hope to have a computer when I go home. I guess that it really got hit hard. If it can't be fixed then I will be shopping tonight!!

Sorry that I'm not good about posting photos. I don't know how to post photos throughout the post. I'll post the house in another post.

Have a glorious day!!

This is a pair of the earrrings that I made for the craft show. The first person that tells me what the hats originally were will win a prize.

I still don't have my computer but I walked over to the office so that I could get rid of the food and use the computer. I remembered to bring my camera so that I could download some photos.
I hope everyone has had a good day. I came over here to order the Ott Lite from Joann Fabrics but they are already out. So I guess I will venture to the store tomorrow. Have a good night!!

Computer

Okay so the computer is still not working. I thought that I could just reload all of the software but the computer won't let me so I have brought it into work and I hope someone can help me. I have to come here and then people want me to work and I'm on vacation. I have some neat things to show you once I'm up and running. I really miss not being on here and especially what other people are doing. I am trying to catch up on some things and Amy I finally sent off your items with more and Jacquie I need your home address. I used to have it but I'm not sure where it is. I have a couple of more things after that to mail and I hope to be totally caught up. Pray that my computer gets fixed!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!
