Holly's First Coat

Hello Everyone,

I finally finished sewing Holly's coat and love how it came out. It was a very simple pattern and can't wait to make another one for her. I used See and Sew #B5275. Its perfect for the weather up here in Canada.

E and I came across this adorable fabric. She looks amazing in red and I love the little paw prints everywhere. When we put it on her, we couldn't stop giggling because she looked so cute.

Let me know what you think. I am linking up to these parties and this party.

Have a great evening!!

My First Amp Cover

 

Hello Everyone,

I finally completed my first amp cover for one of E's amps.

E measured the amp he wanted a cover for, cut out the template using the tweed fabric we got him and I went to work. I then sewed on one of the Fender patches that I got him as a stocking stuffer this Christmas.

We will have to tweak the design a little bit, but, I'm happy with how it turned out and E is definitely happy with it. He has already started designing the next amp cover for him for another amp.

Have a great weekend!!

Hanukkah is known as The Festival of Lights and is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the re-dedication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem following the Jewish victory over the Syrian-Greeks in 165 B.C. Olive oil was needed for the menorah in the Temple, which was required to burn throughout the night every night. The story goes that there was only enough oil to burn for one day, yet it burned for eight days, the time needed to prepare a fresh supply of oil for the menorah. An eight day festival was declared to commemorate this miracle.

There is a custom of eating foods fried in olive oil to commemorate the miracle of a small flask of oil keeping the flame in the Temple lit for eight days. Traditional foods include potato pancakes, known as latkes and jam-filled doughnuts, called sufganiyot. Other Hanukkah traditions are Hanukkah gelt (chocolate money) and the dreidle game.  Dreidles are four-sided spinning tops that children play with and each side is imprinted with a Hebrew letter.

Happy Hanukkah!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you are all having a wonderful day spending time with family and friends, eating delicious foods and scrumptious desserts. I know we will and we are really looking forward to it. I will be missing my family and friends up North and will be wishing that I could be spending today with them. My Mom will not be joining us this year. She will be with my sister, her family and then with my brother and his girlfriend's family. 

I am so thankful for my husband who makes me proud of the man and Army Officer that he is. He has accomplished so much this past year and now we are celebrating this wonderful holiday in Canada. We had the honor of celebrating Canada's Thanksgiving last month with our next door neighbors, their family and friends. So, we get to enjoy another Turkey and all the fixings today.


He is supportive, romantic, giving, thoughtful, makes me a better person, loves me unconditionally and always makes me laugh. He always encourages me to excel at all my craft's and this year it has been knitting and photography. 

I also wish all of our troops serving our Country and their families a very Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for keeping Americans and our country safe. Thank you to the Military families who stand by their side and support what they do.


I am thankful for my Mom who has taught me so much about being the woman I am today, about life, love and happiness. More importantly, to wait for the right man to come along, how to be a good wife, daughter, sibling and friend. Thank you for being in my life! I am also very thankful to have a wonderful sister and brother. I just so love and treasure you both. I am thankful for our nephews G and M...both a gift. Thank you for being the sweet, loving boys that you are and always putting smiles on our faces. We love you both very much. We can't wait to see you next week.


Also, thank you to all my blogging friends out there, old and new, who have been supportive since I started blogging 2 years ago this October. You have all been so kind with your encouraging and funny comments and I have really enjoyed reading your blogs, learning from and getting to know you.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
