This and That

So in between times of working on the house remodeling I have made some time to do some sewing. I finished this month's block from Quiet Play.

With help from Satu I was able to make this black and white picture to fill in when I do my blocks. Thanks Satu for you help.

I also sewed up the next block that I am doing from a local quilt shop each month.

I am linking these two blocks to What a Hoot!

 I had my friend Judy weave me another rug which is in my sewing room. I told her to use all the colors of the rainbow. She did and I love it.

 I worked on some embroidery for a perpetual calendar by Crabapple Hill. These will be for the month of February but you probably figured that out! You can still get the pattern here.

 I am a follower of Katie's Salt Marsh. During the Grow Your Blog hop I won her giveaway. Thanks Katie!

I was looking through the cook book. I decided to make a pumpkin pie for Mr. P. for all his hard work during our home renovations. I had some pumpkin puree in the freezer. It is one of his favorite desserts. I did not make the crust from scratch. I can't ever get it to come out flaky.

Here is this weeks verse from Jenny. I love her little bird drawing.

 So that is what I have been up to lately. A little of this and that. I hope to get to spend some time sewing this week. I want to work on my goal for a Lovely Year of Finishes.
This weekend we will probably be finishing up our bedroom which means more caulking and touch up painting for me. Mr. P. will be putting up new crown molding and finishing up the wainscoting on the walls. Almost finished!

With Passion,
