Where's Deb?

Hmm...I see Waldo, but where is Deb?


At work!! Agh!! Work has seriously been cramping my style!! It seems like there are not enough hours in the day to work, take care of my family & home AND declutter my stash. But, I am optimistic about the upcoming three day weekend!! For those in the USA...next weekend is Labor Day. Which, will be a 3 day weekend for me!! Yippee! Until then, here are some snickers I found that reminded me of me at work!! 



Hmm...I am wondering if my boss would buy the Feng Shui thing?


Until the weekend...I will be putting little hexies together...and will post them for your viewing pleasure!! So, mark your calenders..."Deb...hexies...check her blog..."!!

Anniversary Snickers



Today is my 23rd anniversary of marriage to my dear Quail. We've had our ups and downs like many couples, and we are doing our darndest to keep more ups than downs. So, in honor of our anniversary, here are a few snickers about age and marriage. 









My kids hate this picture, but it is on my key chain! I love the sentiment and the photo. I suspect if I looked in the mirror, that's what I look like from behind!!

Oh, and what did my dear Quail get my for our anniversary? Why the traditional 23rd year anniversary gift: Twizzlers and Champagne! 




Lovin' my bits and pieces (and Twizzlers)

Better Late Than Never




It's the day after One Flower Wednesday...but here is my flower!
She's just one lonely flower...but in a day or so, she should have a friend. And then they will be winging their way to my One Inch Hexie swap partner!!  


It has been a slow week for me again in my decluttering efforts and sewing efforts. That hasn't stopped me from gawking at other's blogs. One of my favorite non productive past times!! And, through the magic of Pinterest  I have found a place to post pictures of all the cool quilt pictures, etc I find!! Here are a few of the goodies I pinned. I couldn't figure out how to attach the links to the pictures...so you'll have to go to Pinterest to find the origins!! 


Beautiful  napkins made from vintage sheets and finished with ric-rac
 
I want to make this quilt. I MUST make this quilt. Now, to check my vintage sheet stash...

A bag tied with a fabric covered pipe cleaner. Cool idea!! 

Have a large collect of doily's you don't know what to do with? Make a table runner!! 


The weekend will soon be upon me and I have plans to do some serious work in my sewing room/basement.  Now I hope I can follow through!  


My kitty Thimble, engaged in some serious snoozing. Ahh...to be a cat!!
So, here's hopin' I can get my pieces together!!
