Fayzer your paintings are so wonderful, I would love the turtle one.
OFF TOPIC: Does anyone have any good sugar-free jam recipes that they would be willing to share with me or for that matter any sugar-free recipes. Thank you I am having a hard time not eating the way I want to.

The shells are the same you put the 2 right sides together and sew all the way around and then cut a little slit on the back side and turn it right side out . You only have to sew around the shell (I tried to do zig zag) and that holds everything down!

HA, ha... i am guessing you are wondering if i have trouble in the bathroom!!!! i know it is true, everyone asks that first! Well... don't want to gross any one out with tmi, but hubby is a doll and helped with all i needed help with... the pain pills block you up good until my hands had recovered enough to not need help, he did brush my hair today and he still has to open most doors, and the only thing i can't do is fasten my bra! I will be home tomorrow, I cant wait, my cats my bed! and all the awesome thins waiting!
btw is anyone else going to the lon beach show???? my group is going on SAT

I want to thank Wendy (IrelandDragonQuilting) again for
the awesome SP package I got last week.
Sorry it has taken me so long to get the pictures posted,
I am working most if not ALL week so I am trying to get
sewing done for a wedding on Saturday, get a doll quilt
finished, AND make a mug rug for a swap on another website.
Without anymore waiting here are the pics of my awesome
gift.
FIRST picture:
Large "paper clip" stand
Box of note cards with matching pen with bird motif.
Mini backpack keyring
Glue stick
2 Real Lemon drink mixes
[ATTACH=CONFIG]351236[/ATTACH]
Second picture:
Bird pincushion pattern
McCall's Quilting Magazine
Sticky note pads
[ATTACH=CONFIG]351237[/ATTACH]
Third picture:
By far some more AWESOME homemade items.
Bird pincushion in a basket "nest" (pattern in previous picture)
Purse size sewing "kit" has seam ripper, threader, thread, needle
gripper, scissors, needles and pins.
This is going into my purse for sure.

Wendy again THANK YOU!
Just how lucky was I this month? not only was she my SP for July
but she is also my doll quilt partner.
Double awesome.
