Plain Goodness

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone is having a great week! Mine has been hectic and busy. I'm falling behind in responding to e-mails, reading all the blogs I so love to read, and I'm just plain tired. I have also been working on some special things for some special someone's.... more on that another time.

But yesterday, I had a bright spot in my day. I had signed up for a Pay It Forward last year on Peg's blog. For those of you who don't know her quick go visit. I received a wonderful package from down under!! Wait until you see...

Some wonderful Australian candy and cookies. Didn't last long. Tim Tam's are great! I did a search online and you can get them at Target for a limited time only. So go stock up!

I have to say, I have heard of Vegemite, but I am not sure what to do with it, any suggestions would be so helpful.

Then the creme de la creme.... this wonderful table runner was made by Peg. Absolutely impeccable workmanship! I just love it!! Thanks so much, Peg!

Here you can see it gracing the chair side table in my bedroom. It is just the perfect place. That is my Mom with me in the picture.

What a bright spot in a busy week!

Now I would like to offer a bright spot to all of you. Click HERE to see a wonderful slideshow packed with some beautiful inspiration for your creative minds. Turn on your volume and enjoy!!

Until Next Time...

Yo-Yo Update and PIF Challenge

Hi Everyone,

I know that some of you have been wondering about those yo-yo's that I made from the Kaffe Fassett fabrics in this previous post. I had to wait to post a picture until my Easter Bunny Swap Partner, Hannah at Gently Tiptoe, received her parcel. She did so here is what I made.

I had a ball making it. My hubby and kids even thought it was really cute!! The pattern is by Indygo Junction and they also make a yo-yo elephant and I believe one other item too. It's fun try it out for yourself!

On the next order of business, I joined in on a Pay it Forward Challenge with Peg at Happy In Quilting. I am very excited to do this and would love it if 3 of you would join me. Here are the rules:


The rules are that the first three people to join the challenge on my blog will receive a gift handmade by me. I will have 365 days to make and send your gift - hopefully it won't take me that long...... You must then do a post on your blog inviting 3 more people to join in and receive a handmade gift from you.

If you would like to join, please specifically say so in your comment. Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy!

Happy Quilting!! Jackie

PS. I uploaded more wonderful customer quilts on my website. The Red Sox also won their 1st game yesterday, yeah!! , but lost their 2nd game today :(
