red and aqua quilt bee

above are three layouts for my red and aqua bee quilt. the first one has a red on white dot alternating with a white on red dot, and the second one has a white dot on red alternating with a white dot on aqua, and the third one has a red dot on white in every block. which is your favorite? someone mentioned that the first one has a secondary pattern happening with the red also....i dont know if i like that it isnt symmetrical. i guess i could add another row to two sides to make it more symmetrical. what do you think?

i love all things pink. i would have a houseful of pink if it wasnt for the hubby. today is a good day, i actually was able to upload my mosaic on friday!
i am getting super excited. someone on flickr saw my mosaic of wooden dutch shoes and gave me someone elses name......long story short, i should have my very own pair of wooden shoes around my birthday!! as soon as the holidays are over they will start to make them. eek, isnt that super de duper??

wow, i am way late on mosaic friday, but hey, as i say every week, better late than never. i was trying to get the spirit going so i chose to do a red and white christmassy theme for my mosaic. i just adore everything in this one.i cant believe there is only 10 days til xmas eve. ack! i am so not ready. we havent even gotten a tree yet! but i hope to rectify that tonight. as long as the hubby gets home early, it will happen!!!!
i havent gotten anything made yet for gifties. i wanted to make some new stockings for this year, so found the perfect pattern and got all my fabrics....now i cant find the pattern! ugh! i have looked everywhere. did the pattern faeries take it???oh dear, i dont know. i guess i should move onto something else, but i have kind of become obsessed with finding it now. wish me luck

i am a day late, but hey, better late than never! which if it wasnt late, it probably would be never.
i have always had a thing for dutch shoes. when i was little we had a pair. i have NO idea where they came from or for that matter where they went. i believe it wont be long before i am sporting a pair of these around town, much to the chagrin of my teen daughter :o)
