Happy, Happy New Year!!!

What a glorious day!!!

I finally feel like I have some energy and motivation to move forward.  The old flu/cold bug hit me right around the 20th of December and has had it's evil grip on my days and nights.  This is the first day that I woke up with motivation to do any sewing and I'm well underway with that.

Thanks to Myra  and the PhD Challenge I have . . .

 calculated, cut and started attaching some borders on PhD #2 . .


and made the bias strips for the Halloween #8 PhD and got all the pieces laid out and pressed where I want them.  I have even started blanket stitching the vine down!

I've also been watching Planet Patchwork's site and keeping tabs (but not participating!!!) on Merry Mayhem's New Year's Day Mystery. 

I love a good mystery and I love seeing what the ending is going to be.  Maybe you have some scraps laying around and want to join in . . . they are currently at step 3 last time I checked.

I hope everyone is having fantastic day and that you get lots accomplished on whichever project you've decided to work on.  Right now I hear my sewing machine calling out to me . . .

The pumpkin piece caught my eye right away. The orange rick rack style fabric is not one I would have thought to use but it works oh so well.
