I will post pictures of them as soon as my computer is back up. (I am posting remotely) Today found out I won a book from SMS Book Reviews during the Book Giveaway Carnival I also recently won this book from Callapidder Days Here is some fun stuff I found while taking it easy this morning: A list of FREE pincushion patterns from PinKeeps She even has a great tutorial on how to make a wrist pincushion! Need a yummy and easy candy recipe? I found one at Whimsy Love for Oreo Truffles! Not only does she have the recipe, she also has a tutorial on how to make the scrumptious things! Hosted by Tip Junkie, The 12 Days of Giveaways starts TODAY! (November 11th) Tessa from How to Make Art is starting a series of tutorials on what else . . . how to make art! I've been a follower of hers for a while now and love her uninhibited mind, and was so excited that Tessa is going to walk her blog friends through some of her methods! Next week she will start on an altered book, something I've wanted to do for a long time! Go check her out! I'll end on a quilty note. Kim Deihl is one of my favorite quilt designers and she has a FREE Scrappy Floral Appliqué Table Mat pattern at All People Quilt. Well, I'm off to sew at the quilt shop with some friends, hope you have a SUPER day!
