Welcome to my new office!

Little Boxes on the Hillside...

Hi!
Monica here.
Girlfriend of Ellen's son, Eric.
Long time subscriber, second (or third?) time poster.
It's been a while.

Ellen and I wanted to do a project together even though we are far apart.
So around the end of February, Ellen found some blogs and links to really cute patterns for fabric boxes.

The project was chosen and the deadline was April 1st.
We had to mail each other our projects and post the pictures here.

It was so much fun!
What was so interesting was how differently we interpreted the same project.
I wonder what our boxes say about our personalities...
Fabric Style Myers-Briggs?

I think our next project is bags.
Updates will soon be posted.

This is the box that Ellen made.
Isn't it beautiful?

My favorite fabric is the Japanese umbrella one.

A BABES meeting at Susan's

A long time coming.....

Hi everyone!

I thought it was time we kicked off our blog again. A lot has happened since anyone of us posted anything on here. January went by fairly quickly with Susan getting a real job and flaunting it in our face.

Go Susan, we are proud of all you do especially since you rub the "real job' stuff in our faces. We know you are meaning a 8-5 job when none of the rest of us have one of those kinds of jobs!


Suzanne: February brought you much grief and sadness and all I can say is: I am so sorry you have to go through the pain that you are going through and we all want you to know we are here for you. We love you and will always be your support!

Jane: you have been nursing your family back to health and letting go of Ben.

I, on the other hand, met someone and am acting like a teenager once more!

I appreciate and love all of you BABES! !

Now with all this stuff out of the way: onward we go!

A while ago Suzanne and I went to Mooresville Quilt Shop and found some cool fabric for knitting needle bags for the babes! I finally got around to making them and here is a picture.
