Happy 100th Birthday Wrigley Field

If you've been following my blog for a few years, you know that I'm a big time fan of the Chicago Cubs.  Today is the 100th birthday of Wrigley Field:

The Cubs are playing the Diamondbacks and they're playing in vintage style uniforms. How cool!

Anyway, I'm at my parents house and we have the game on and we're enjoying the old photos, the old music and the memories of the times we went to Wrigley Field!  So Happy Birthday to Wrigley Field.  A beautiful ballpark and a very happy place to be!

Keep Guessing!

Yes, this will be a purse when it's all done:

But....what is going to be?  I know, it sounds like a trick question and it kind of is because I know that at this moment, you just can't tell.  My next update just might clue you in!

Here's a photo of the little door hanger that I was working on last week:

I don't think I'll have time to get this sewn together and finished until next week sometime.  But when I it's done, I'll post another pic.

I also have some new handmade things that Mom made:

You've probably figured out that Mom and I both love making door knob hangers!  I think they're fun little decorative things that are perfect for gifts.

Whatever Will It Be?

Loads Of Finishes To Share!

I spent yesterday afternoon running my sewing machine and finishing up a bunch of my crazy quilt projects.  It always feels so good to complete things, doesn't it?

These are my most recent Crazy Quilt Hanging Pillows:

I used Vintage Handkerchiefs for the focal point on all of these.  With Flea Market season coming, I thought I'd better use some of the things I picked up last year!

And these 2 little Crazy Quilt Cat Dolls are a Custom Order:

I started stitching on a little gift for my aunt for Mother's Day so I'll photos of that soon.
