What's new?

My beaded juggling balls are up for auction! These fun balls are part of the Beading For a Cure project that I did last year. I am very proud of these balls - they feel really good in the hand and I think they would also be fun to have in a bowl on the coffee table - people would definitely pick them up and play with them!

In other news. I've been volunteering for the conference Towards 2020 Canada's commitment to children and youth. This has been a great opportunity for me to be involved with some wonderful people to create a conference that brings together people whose focus is on the future of our country from an important perspective. I am really looking forward to the day of the conference because the plan is to create a new future for our children that involves them and helps them to be the best people they can be. Here's a link and there are still spaces available!

I also sewed together a quilt. See, I have all this material and I wanted to actually enjoy it. So I pulled out the oranges and orange alikes, and I all the teal blues, blues and such and cut up the squares.

It's not finished - I want to back it with some flannel and no stuffing. So I cut the flannel but I didn't measure twice - arghhhh!!! I have more work to do!

Here are the pictures though, and more will be forthcoming when I finish it. Here's a hint, think spring green rickrack.

I will have some beading to show you in the next few days too. My darling husband will be back from Australia tonight! I wonder how jetlaged he'll be after a 2o odd hour flight!
Cheers, Denise
