Monday Mayhem

It is Monday!

 

Let the Mayhem begin!  LOL  I have lots to do today!  I did finish several projects this weekend and I am working on several more.  I finally feel like I am knocking them out.  I will be revealing all kinds of projects in the next few days.  I know...it seems like forever, but I do have lots in store.  It has just been so busy!  Here is one of the projects that is now finished and will be revealed!  :)

Monday Mayhem

It's Monday and mayhem is here!

 

I hope you are having a great day so far!  I worked out this morning for the first time in forever and I am off to meet with my long arm quilter shortly.  I have a special quilt for here to do and I am taking three other quilts from a friend to get done.  After I get back, I am working the rest of the day to get several projects completed!  As the leaves continue to fall, here is pic I took about a week and a half ago.  Sadly, these leaves are now gone!  I just love their rich color and will miss them this winter.

It's Monday and time for Mayhem! 

I hope you had a great and productive weekend!  I was somewhat productive, but not as much as I wanted to be.  Sunday ended up with very high expectations and no delivery on that.  I ended up being kind of lazy and didn't really get anything done.  Oh well...sometimes you just need to rest!  Today will be a busy and productive day though!  I need to finish a few things!    Here is another sneak peek of my pillow.  I plan to work on it later today.  I need to get the back panels made and then quilt it!  Can't wait to see how it turns out! 

 

 

The beautiful maple tree in the yard...the leaves will be gone soon!

 

30 Days of Thanks~Day 5:

 

Today I am thankful to be well rested!  I did not get as much done this weekend as I had hoped,

but I did rest.  So, rest is good and I can start off this week on a good note!

 

Have a Marvelous Monday!

Happy Monday!

 

I hope you had a great weekend!  Mine was very busy!  I am getting ready for my quilt retreat later this week.  Mayhem started yesterday as I was finally starting to figure out what I am going to work on at the retreat.  I have plenty of projects, but just was not sure which ones to work on.  I have one project completely cut and ready to go.  It is a fairly simple quilt and should not take long to piece.  I was afraid I was not going to have enough fabric for it, but it all worked out.  Today, I have to decide which other projects I might take.  I was so focused on the one yesterday, that is all I thought about.  Anyway, that will be my mayhem for today through Wednesday.  I just need to make sure I have everything I need to take with me and then it will be on to a fun weekend!  I will take pics this week to give you peeks of some of my new projects!

 

Just wanted to leave you with a bright and happy photo today of my little pansies on the front porch!

 

 

Hope you have a Happy and Marvelous Monday!

Happy Monday! 

 

Well, Monday has started out to be a busy one!  I didn't get to work out this morning, but may get to walk later.  I have already done a little cleaning, got laundry going and getting ready to do a little sewing!  I also just found out some great news.  Kathie Lee and Hoda, from the Today Show, will be here at the University of Tennessee, broadcasting live next Monday, Oct 1!  Woohoo!  Way to go Big Orange!  We were the only SEC school to be a finalist for the Going back to College Challenge!  We get to show off our beautiful campus and city next week!  I just think that is so cool!

 

Anyway, I got the charity quilt pieced this weekend, along with the back and it will be off to the quilter this week.  Next, I am going to work on my guild scrap swap project today and then I have several other projects to start!  I just need to decide which one I will do first!  Ever have that problem?  There is just never enough time!  LOL

 

Here is a pretty fat quarter I picked up in Georgia last week.  I just love the aqua color..one of my favorite colors!  This is such a happy fabric.  I am not sure what I will do with it yet, but I just love it!

 

 

Hope you have a Marvelous Monday!!!

Welcome to Monday Mayhem!

 

It's Monday and I say it is going to be a great day and a great week!

The Tennessee Volunteers won this weekend and so did Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos!

It was also a cool and beautiful crisp weekend here in East TN!  It felt like fall was in the air!  As we know here in TN, the weather changes as soon as you turn around, so I am sure we will be in for more hot weather, before fall really sets in!

 

I have the fall table runner top done and I am piecing the back this morning.  I hope to have it all put together and finished later today.  I will show you pics tomorrow.  :)  For now, I do have a sneak peek of an upcoming project.  October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I am making a special quilt for someone and will share more info soon.  This is part of the fabric I picked out because her favorite colors are bright pink and light blue.  I stumbled upon the blue fabric and just love it and the pink print also had a blue dots in it.  I am going to pair it with some pink and blue Kona solids.  I am working on finding just the right pattern and I can't wait to get started on the quilt!  I will keep you in the loop about it's story and progress, starting very soon!

 

 

Let me know what you think!

Monday Mayhem Labor Day

It's Labor Day and Monday Mayhem!

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday weekend!  It's hard to believe that this is the unofficial end to the summer.  Wow!  This has been a busy weekend.  I have been working to finish up my card order and I hope to get to sew later today.  I haven't sewn anything in about a week, so I am itching to get to work on some projects!  Here is a look at some fabric I picked out for a tote bag my sister has requested.  She loved the tote bag I made for my swap, so she said she wanted one.  The colors for the bag were to be brown, cream, yellow, red and green.  So, I happened to be out at Joann's the other day and came across this beautiful fabric.  The picture does not do it justice.  It is a little more golden in color and I had Kona solids in Chocolate, Espresso, Corn and Grass Green to pair with it.  this will be a project I do sometime very soon in the next few weeks!  :)



 

Let me know what you think of this fabric!

Have a Marvelous Monday and a safe Labor Day!

Monday Mayhem!

Welcome to Monday!

Just a quick post today!

It's been a busy day already and I am only getting started.  I have a bunch to do, but it's all good.  I love to be busy, at least to an extent.  I am working on several different projects, so I will be back tomorrow with an update!

Until then, have a Marvelous Monday!

Monday Mayhem!

Welcome to Monday!

It's going to be an extremely busy week!  I have way too many things to get done, but I am determined.  Last week did not quite go as I had planned and I did not get everything done. 

That's OK though....things are coming along at a good pace right now. 

I just don't have much time to slow down.  :)

Here's a little sneak peak at the progress of my QuiltCon blocks.  I have all three done and will reveal them later this week.  They are going in the mail today!  I am so excited!

I will be working to finish my tote this afternoon.  I will reveal it later this week after it goes in the mail.  I want my partner to be surprised when she receives it!

Hope you have a Marvelous Monday!
