Back on Track?

Hopefully this week I will get back on track.  With my son's wedding, the long weekend at the campground, my granddaughter visiting for a week, the new puppy and the whole family here on the long weekend, I haven't had a moment to myself it seems.  Added to that my internet is acting up supremely so that doing anything online takes hours and it has been hard to find moments for stitching.  But this morning it is just the dogs and me left here at the trailer, the campground is almost empty and once I finish mowing and cleaning up there should be room to breathe.  So, in the meantime I would love to share some of the wedding pictures.  DD, Katie, was a bridesmaid, and here we are, both looking very happy obviously! 


This is Bobbi, my beautiful new daughter-in-law.  Bobbi is such a lovely person and the reason I have such a big happy smile in all the wedding pics.  I am overjoyed to have Bobbi in the family - she and my son are so happy together and good for each other.  That they have made this commitment to each other by getting married has me as happy as a clam!


This is the Leslie clan at the wedding.  From left to right:  My handsome hubby, myself, the bride and groom, daughter Katie and finally on the far right Barrie, my brother-in-law who came all the way from Quebec for the ceremony. 

My handsome son, Sean, the happy groom, after the ceremony.

And here is the whole family:  My son, Sean, my daughter-in-law, Bobbi, and my new grandchildren, Allie and Sam.

How could I resist sharing this last photo of Sam?  lol - isn't it a cute snap?!

Giveaway Day! (CLOSED)

I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew .  I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them.  This is an antique sewing box -  I could not resist it when I saw it for sale!  Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high).  From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk.  The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion.  I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway.  I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a...

BAS - Week 81 - Sequin Flower with Tutorial

This Build a Seam (BAS) Challenge is a little different - not exactly a stitch per se.  It is a technique for making sequin flowers which can be a wonderful addition to a seam treatment or motif. You will need cupped sequins for this - flat ones will not work properly - and some seed beads.  Mark your fabric with a center dot and five evenly spaced dots around the outside.  Bring your needle up through one of the dots on the outside and string on one sequin (cup upwards), a bead, another sequin and two more beads.  Take your needle down through the middle dot.  Carry on making another leg in the same way on each of the other four outside dots, always going down into the center dot which will be the middle of your flower. This is what you end up with after you have done all five legs - a nice little sequin flower!  You can add a bead or two more in the center of the flower if you wish.  You can also vary the number of legs depending on the size of t...

Giveaway! (Closed Midnight Monday!)

While packing my stash for the move to the lake I found duplicates of a couple books. What can I say? It must be really appealing to buy it twice! So, I have two books to giveaway. The first one is "45 Fine & Fanciful Hats to Knit". My knitting skills aren't up to this, I'm afraid - I wish they were because it is a gorgeous book! The second book for giveaway is "Tatting Doilies & Edgings", edited by Ruth Weiss. This is a good one because it has lots of edgings that can be tatted and used for crazy quilting. Of course, you could tat the doilies and edgings for anything you like! lol So, to enter the giveaway simply leave a comment with your email address and indicating which book you would like to go in the draw for. I'll draw names sometime on Monday. Thanks!
