Tuesday Treasure

IMG_4635  IMG_4634

Tuesday Treasures…..a few years back I was big into making Teddies……this one is a little bit special, I finished this Ted the day my eldest son went off to Uni …….whenever I missed Luke, which was every day, (and still is every day) this little fellow was there for me to cuddle…..(the things mothers do)….…..I can remember when I trimmed his nose it took me hours….

Pop over and see what other treasures Clare has for you to view…

take care Peg …:>)…

If you want to be happy, be.

Yesterday at Club Quilt I started making some of the blocks for the “Simple Pleasures” quilt….the stitcheries need to appliquéd onto each plain block…..finished another block last night so that is 6 down and 6 to go……

its Monday again, the weekend seems to just fly……..

Have a fab day…take care….Peg…:>)….

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

Cyber Quilting 2008…this was one of the projects…The finishing kit of fabrics I purchased at Cottage On The Hill in 2008, and guess where it was sitting…that’s it, on one of my shelves in the sewing room… but not any more….12 little stitcheries and I have done 3…..9 to go…..I should be ashamed of myself the number of kits I have sitting around that I have purchased…..new goal….(to be added to the huge list I already have)….to finish some of the kits…..I am sure I have said this before…..LOL…

take care, and have the best day….Peg..:>)

The important thing is to strive towards a goal which is not immediately visible.  That goal is not the concern of the mind, but of the spirit.
