BOM Rehab

they try to make me go to rehab. i said no. no. no. but it's clear that help is needed. and Sinta Renee has stepped in to keep us motivated. so today i will list 6 of my rehab projects. and focus on them.

fat quarter shop 2012 (starts June).
love letters. blogger's. starscape.
oh my stars! are you kidding me?

i got caught up in The Hunger Games this week. so no completed blocks. and i feel bad about that. i've been sewing. lots of this and that. just nothing for your viewing pleasure. so how about some retro sheets and kitchen wipers. i added some to my Etsy shop. leave a comment if you want to win a sheet & wiper combo. starting immediately and ending April 1st. include a code of RUTHIE10. and you wil save 10%.

thank you. and let's do it again.

a sincere thank you to all my blogfriends who have said such nice things about my Wavy Wipers. and for those of you who were curious about the DIY bundle. Rumi put together this extremely thankful post spilling the beans. other thank-you's go to Gari, Melanie, Andee, Kathie, Nanette, and many others. i like seeing something i made on someone else's blog. and it was thrilling to have sold a few bundles in my Etsy shop. i know that some of your friends did come over and take a look.

as an additional thank you i thought you might be interested in my Wavy Wiper pattern for beginners. i've always thought it a bit silly to write out every row. but my sister often wishes a pattern tells you more. maybe you feel that way too.

so. well. hmmm. what now. oh yeah. let's do it again. i made some rainbow wipers for Judy who is my talented-knitting-friend. so up for grabs is that same rainbow bundle. and one for the shop. leave a comment here and i'll pick a winner on Saturday. a winner has been picked.

the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

OMG. if you can handle a fair amount of vio-lence. you will LOVE this movie. move over Twilight. there's a new Trilogy in town. joan-jett helps anderson-cooper track down dexter-morgan.but if you like things on the softer side i put some Babie Wavies in the shop.

Simply Time

to announce that Melanie is the winner of Simply Yours.

the answer is.... turkey & roast beef with lettuce & swiss on whole wheat.

or.... the cheese next to the bread.

watch the clip to see where the answer could have been found.

i first posted about the funny guy here.

Melanie is also a participant in the Summer Stash Challenge.

you can see the quilts she has finished on her blog Jelly Bean Angel.

a very special thank you to Melanie for adding me to your bloglist.

so send me your choice & i'll get it out to you.

thanks for playing.

Simply Yours

that's right. simply yours. any one of the bags in my Etsy shop. just tell me how the funny guy likes his sandwiches. no peeking on the other comments. oh i guess i can't stop you. ends Monday night. i'll even include the bad guesses. then you'll call me. & i'll send to you the one you want.

I Goodie You & You Goodie Too

tucked inside a Starbuck's brown paper bag is Mom's bag filled with goodies *.

i bought this fabric printed with Red Anthuriums a long time ago. i believe that my Dad used to give these flowers to my Mom on their anniversary.

also tucked in are the four bags she requested.

when she goes to birthday dinners with her sisters she gives them a bag with goodies in them. i don't know what she puts in them because i am not there.

aren't they sweet ! - i wonder what she will put in them this year ?

*i put ginger cookies, pretty candy, almonds, gum, & a hook so that Mom can hang up all the bags i have given her.

i really appreciate the thank you's i received from my winners of the giveaway - sbonetsue, messiejessie, & corrie. but from corrie i also got a blogged about thank you here. that's cool !
