CSSC 2012 ...!

My Secret Santa Parcel, organized by Chookyblue, arrived early this month!

This year, my secret partner is Kerstin from Kerstin bunte Welt blog, and here is my cute little ornament, already on the tree! Too cute!

Kerstin also included a bonus, an owl case! I love owls!

Hum.... I haven't seen that case around! Bet you DD took it! It's soooo adorable!  She also included another little  treat, gorgeous ribbons!

Thank you again Kerstin for the lovely treats.  Looking forward to opening my big present on Christmas day!

A finish...!

Thank you for taking a tour of Fibre Junction. I do hope you enjoyed your visit!  I sure did!

I want to share with you a recent finish.  You may have seen it in one of the tour pictures, however I have not shared it officially.  As a matter of fact, I quickly put the quilt up so that it would be included in the tour pictures.  ;o)

Voila!

Snow Happens! A pattern by Bird Brain Designs.  Except for the background, I used mainly batiks!  Love those blues!

Thanks for stopping by!

Miss me....?!

I sure miss writing.  Time just seems to get away from me.  Always something I SHOULD be doing instead of writing a blog post!  Well, the heck with that, I'm writing! lol

I thought I would give you a virtual tour of Fibre Junction.  It's been so long since I published pictures.  It is quite different from the day the quilt shoppe opened in May 2009.  You can peak at the first post here.

Come in! Welcome to Fibre Junction!

Take a closer peak on the treadle!

A glance at the right! Don't you just love plaids?

Love these feather trees!

Let's walk towards the back!

Continuing your walk towards the back of the Shoppe!  Love the way Barbara Brackman's new fabric line Metropolitan Fair looks on the center shelves!

To your left! One can never have too many backgrounds!

Want a closer look?

Let's walk back towards the entrance into our next room!

I love the way the fabric looks! I may be bias, but I love the batik selection! ;o)

A little holiday decoration!

To the left, the Notion Hut!

Some primitive style fabrics!

Did you want a peak in the wool cupboard?

If you turn around, you will see a selection of "prim" backgrounds!

Towels for your hand embroidery needs! That old washing machine continues to be a conversation piece!

Here is a full view of the second room!

Thank you for your stopping by!

I hope you enjoyed visiting Fibre Junction in Rouses Point, New York.  Please come again!

All Cooped up!

Like most of you in the north country, we have been getting ready for the cold weather.  Stephen has been busy preparing our wood supply.  When I opened the door this morning, this is what greeted me!

I just think it's so cute!  It reminds me of the Grinch! I'm not sure I want to stick that log in the wood stove!  Do you think I can sell it on e-bay under the "strange phenomenon" section? lol

Speaking of getting ready for the winter, Stephen has been busy working on this little project!

Back in May, we added some Red Heads to the "girls" club!

From top left, Mabel, Isabel, bottom left Luna and Dingleberry - She's giving you the side glance!

Here's Mabel and Isabelle (corner left).  Such a curious bunch of girls!

Now that there are nine (9) members in the "girl's Club", they needed a bigger coop.  I've always wanted a stationary chicken coop (we presently have a mobile one that Stephen moves around the yard). They will spend the cold months in their new home and the summer, in their mobile home!  

I'll get Stephen to make flower boxes to put under the windows and of course I'll need a star for the top of the door! It's going to be so purty!

On the quilting front, I've been busy working on a wool project as well as a few other things.  I can get so distracted at time! lol

Thanks for stopping by!  Cheers!

Boo... hooo....!

What a disappointing Halloween!

Only 8 kids showed up at my door step! What's going on here?  I had all these wonderful goody bags made up!  A wonderfully carved pumpkin by dd ... and barely anyone came. I sure hope the numbers will increase next year!

As I sat downstairs, waiting for the ghouls to show up, I took the opportunity to clean out my blog labels.  I felt there were way too many labels that were redundant!

I've been plugging away at the Folk Art Bloom quilt!  Voila, another one done!

Thanks for stopping by!  Keep well!
