New Day, New Blog

Hello everyone!!!

Sunny day today but oh soooo cold.!!

This is my new blog and I am hoping to keep it updated.

My Shadow is behind me on the bed every time I am on the computer and he will put his paws on the back of my chair and bite it...!!!!!

If you know me, you know I sew a lot or papercraft......I just sent off a gift box and forgot to take pics of the projects...Dang it all...........................
But here are a few pics of what I have made lately. One thing new is a book I received for Christmas about the hobos that used to ride the rails and short stories about their life...This book also has old time pictures and quilt blocks representing icons the hobos would look for when going in town or stopping at a house or two...the icons would give them either directions or let them know if it was a safe place to enter or a place to get a hand out...lol  True!!! So, I am trying to make up a few of these blocks.....Along with my friend who sent me the sewing book.
This block means **Tell a pitiful story* (to get food) 

This block means  **Woman**

This block means  **Anything Goes**

He will show you his sewing projects and papercrafting projects over time.

Isn't he a smarty pants???  lol  Well, we think he is!
