Rez Truck one, Bambi zero
hiyall,
me and bambi had a run in early this am. I am ok, no injuries, truck is repairable but Bambi lost. If my nephew has lived near by, I would have called him to come get and dress the 4pt buck that I hit. Who needs a compound bow to hunt deer with when I have a truck!
major part of the damage, smashed headlight and frame and crushed grill. Hood opened but now wont closed properly. hood will need to be replaced.
Bambi hit the hood HARD. send plastic shards from the grill into the radiator and punched holes. now radiator will need to be replaced.
those spots you see on the hood edge are bambi's blood and brain matter. parts of his scalp is embedded in the turn signal lense. bumper is smooshed but its ok.
gotta love living in the city but have to go thru country side to get to work.
how was YOUR day?

long time no post
hiyall,
I know its been a while since my last blog post and I have no excuses. I have kinda lost my mojo. It comes in spurts and leaves just a quickly as it gets to me. I was hoping with the work slow down at the Q, reduced hours, I could get alot of sewing done but noooooooo. I have enjoyed reading others blogs and having been getting a some great inspiration from yall. Just havent had the energy to get more sewing done. I have decided to start a tiny little at home cottage industy with my quilts and crafts. from time to time I will be posting of some things I have designed and made for sale. I will be posting on my facebook page too. Like I said before I have done a little sewing but I hope to get more done this summer. KEYWORD: Hope.......
Meet Pricillia, Queen of the Unfinished! Prissie for short. Prissie was gifted to me by a quilting buddy named Connie (no blog). She decided to downsize and knew I would give her a good home and get good use out of her. Prissie is a Pfaff Hobby 1200/Grand Quilter. She came with a inspira frame for which I am waiting for Beloved Monkey Boy to come over and put together. He has his own things he is doing lately so I may have to do it myself. No worries, I have been using her on the dining room table and getting some good results. I am loving the huge extended table and speed I get from her.
As I read blogs I find alot of crafty goodness there. I found this quick and easy cell phone pouch and was inspired to make a few. I gave them to friends to product test for me to make inprovements. They all suggested a small pocket on the inside and a secure loop. Even though the pouch is tight and secure to hold a Iphone, they still like the idea the extra security. I will tweek it some more and will be selling these. I gave one to a guy and he really like the idea of tucking it into his back pocket and it does protects the screen on his phone. Feed back is a good thing! Im thinking about making some out of NFL and AFL fabric for the sports fans.
This is my new purse. I put together the best parts of 3 different purse patterns I got free off the net. I used cut off legs of a pair of jeans I had and some sturdy canvas material. I like this purse, lots of pockets and small.
Inside of purse. 2 more pockets on the inside, great for keeping my work id safe and a pen.

This is a BOM from several years ago that I gifted to my Nephew's wife Michelle. Should have seen the big ass grin on her face when I presented it to her.

For my local quilting buddies (southeast Virginia/northeast North Carolina) who read my blog. I have started a Quilt Binding Service. I have always said that the binding on a quilt is a necessary evil. If you have a Quilt that you would like me to finish the binding on, please contact me at Erzebatbat@aol.com. Please put in the subject line, Quilt Binding Service so I dont automatically delete ya.
Thanks for hanging in there with me and the blog.
Keep On Stitch'n On!
