BABY QUILT OVERALL VIEW FOR  GIFT

Fun Friday for me has been a very busy one as I still have this baby quilt to put the backing on, I think I'll use white chenille. There isn't much time for posting as I still must get ready for Beverly's Pink Saturday. Just to sum it up I have been on a waiting list to have a small case within an Antique and Collectible Mall and was notified earlier this week. Whoo-hoo, I'm excited but it just added to the list of one more thing to get accomplished. I managed to put a few things in as the owner doesn't want an empty case as it doesn't look good for business, so I managed to get a start on it with items spread out and in place. Some years back I had case, (larger than this one) which evolved into a space and a large case within the space. I had forgotten just how time consuming this can be when I started pricing items and packing, loading, unloading and then displaying. I'm now content to have a small case and keep it at that as I don't have the energy level I had 10 years back and want to also have creating time left over! Still to finish is this baby quilt for a baby shower on Sunday, so off and running and I'll see you all for Beverly's Pink Saturday with some great Pinks!! Have a Fun filled Friday evening!! Mine is sewing!

TIPS for TUESDAY

Easy eyeglass protection...To prevent the screws in eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop of clear nail polish to the threads before tightening them, then after they are tightened apply a small drop to the bottom of the screw to keep intact, this works great though many may already know this information it is still a great tip and reminder. Have a great Tuesday!!

Welcome to Pink Saturdays hosted by Beverly of "How Sweet the Sound Is". Click the Pink Saturday post on my sidebar to visit with all the other Pink participants or http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/pink-saturday/   I began this Pink Saturday Post as a continuous piece from last Saturdays Pink Saturday post so you could see my Granddaughter in her "Fancy Nancy" dress that I made for her. She wore it to the fair and since the weather was warm it was perfect timing. Next I included some Sewing items from my Sewing room and some lovely Pink roses from my garden for our enjoyment as the season is almost over for mine. I hope to have some lovely creations to post by summers end, including some Pinks. The holiday season will be upon us before we know it so I really need to get back to doing what I love most and that is creating.  It seems these days I spend quite a bit of time blogging which I love but I need to spend a little less time on perfecting my blogging skills and more on my skills of creating items "From my Heart to My Hands". I hope to be showcasing more on Heartful Creations, Etsy and Ebay! Happy Pink Saturday!

Fun Friday begins this week with a little sharing of the Orange County Fair as I took a few photos to share in preparation of Pink Saturdays with Beverly! A little Peek of Pink to get you in the pinky mood and share a few shots I took before my battery died on my camera, Umm, I guess I thought I was better prepared, well Saturday is the big PINK SATURDAY blog and so this is just for fun. Camera is ready now!

TIPS for TUESDAY

Quaker Oats... We have all heard that Quaker Oats is Heart healthy but for pain relief? Umm, Well in my list of handy dandy tips they are listed as a pain reliever, now I haven't tried this but not only are they good for breakfast or those wonderful oatmeal cookies, it is said that if you mix 2 cups of Quaker Oats and a cup of water in a bowl and warm in the microwave for a minute, cool slightly, then apply the mixture to your hands or any other arthritis ache you will have soothing relief from your arthritis pain. Sounds messy but interesting. If you try it and find it works let me know! Any one brave enough? maybe when we have cooler weather! ha-ha
