Mail Call
When I was much younger and in the Military
the best time of day was Mail Call!
Years later, I remember those times fondly
sitting on the steps outside
the helicopter hangers
and reading a letter from home!

Today, I love when the mail comes
always hoping for some
Quilty/sewing goodness to arrive!

Saturday, the cutest bag arrived from my friend
Susan @ The Bored Zombie

She is super talented at any craft.
Seems to make things with nothing!
Kinda like a crafting Macgyver!

You should check out her blog
and see her amazing dolls, quilts,
and she plays xbox too!

It has three zipped pockets inside
with room to hold more items
on both sides.

The inside fabric is as
beautiful as the outside.
I feel so lucky to have won
this adorable zipped bag
called the "Sew Together Bag" from her
Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day Prize!

The best gifts are those made by friends
and someone you think is super cool!
I hope you love it as much as I do!

Thank you Susan I is the best!


I think since I keep misplacing
all my special sewing notions and tools
they will find a new home in my "Susan Bag"!

Well that it for Mail Call this time!
Thank you for taking a look!
Lisa

    Awesome bag and lucky you! Mail call is the best and it doesn't matter how young or old and what kind of mail it is, just mail of any kind will do. Unless it's "bills" mail of course and then I don't want that kind of mail.

Cartwright Seam Ripper Giveaway

Welcome my friends and those who maybe visiting for the first time! Today, I am so excited to introduce you to a true West Virginian Artesian, Greg Cartwright , of Cartwright's Creations . His items are sold in historical shops throughout West Virginia. He is a lover of reclaimed wood of historical nature and creator of works of art! Greg (Cartwright's Creations) & I A note from Greg Dear Readers I have provided two seam rippers to Lisa so she can have one and one to give away. They are both made from beautiful old growth oak which was reclaimed from the original train depot in Weston (Lewis County), West Virginia. Train service was established in Weston around 1880. This wood is representative of a great part of my passion for this venture in woodworking for me – that is finding wood with a story to it. I must admit that my main focus is pens and pencils but it really doesn’t matter what I am making as long as it is from wood (although I have recently added pens...

Update This Giveaway is closed! And the winner is ... #105 gpc March 5, 2014 at 12:13 PM I follow your blog! :) Think Ruffles Blog Hop Welcome to "In The Boon Docks" and Day 1 of the "Think Ruffles Blog Hop"! My name is Lisa and I am so happy you are here today to see my quilt with ruffles! I have to thank Madam Samm @ Sew We Quilt and Amy (Head Cheerleader)@ Sew Incredibly Crazy for arranging this great hop! What is a ruffle? There are lots of different kinds and Madam Samm left it open to interpretation. She showed us how to make some and at the time I was thinking; ruffled bloomers, ruffled dresses, ruffled pillows. Then I saw a quilt in a magazine with what looked like ruffles! I kind of browsed through the issue of Quilt-it today , March/April 2014 issue and left it in my rocking chair and went to work. The second time I read the "Garden Path" pattern by Ann Baxter, (I had already made the quilt), it read "ruching", you don...
