falling off the face of the earth

WOW it's been along time since I posted anything I bet you all thought I fell off the face of the earth. I have been so busy working fulltime in a deli at the local grocery store. I love my new job even thou I work afternoon/evenings and weekends it's close to home with beneftis and more pay then the last two jobs. I am also still longarm quilting but only quilt 2 days a week so I'm about 12 weeks out.  I sold the ladybug quilt and hated to see it go but it went to a good home and isn't just sitting there anymore. One of these days I hope to find the time to go back to sewing/making quilts that time will come one day but in the meantime I will still quilt for others and work full time.

While quilting yesterday I looked up and out my window I saw the deer. It's great to have wildlife outside my window.

Baby Cakes Cake Pops

Has anyone ever tried making cake pops? I picked this up for my daughter and thought I would try it once before giving it to her. I also got the cookbook so I could make different things besides cake pops so I tried the banana muffin receipe. After figuring out just how much to put in each cup they were really easy to make. Since these are banana muffins I choose not to put any frosting on them but when making cakepops you could put white chocolate, frosting or even powder sugar on them and don't forget the stick. They turned out really yummy.

Charity Sewing

This monkey quilt I have been working on this week, it is machine embroidered. I can't remember the last time I made a machine embroidered quilt. A gal I work with lost her son about 2 months ago and they are having an auction to raise money for all the expenses.  I thought I would make this and donate it to the cause, I'm hoping to get it on my machine on Tuesday since I work the next 3 days. It's been so slow at work I haven't been there for 2 weeks so it's gonna seem weird going in.
