Good Morning!!!  Sunday morning... September 11.... Oh how I remember this day...  I had been running some errands for the store and stopped in to grab a goodie from Panera Bread.  There was a long line and everyone was buzzing about the news that a plane hit one of the twin towers.  In my little pee-wee mind (not thinking about it in great detail) I prayed that no one was hurt... not even thinking that it actually went INTO the building... (where was my brain?).

Once in the car - the radio was full of the details.  I couldn't believe what I had heard.  Then upon arriving back to the store... the second plane had hit.  I remember sitting in the car - dumb-founded... not really understanding what actually happened.

Finally when I got my wits about me I went inside and told my daughter and one of the girls working with us.  We closed early that day.... unable to work and wanting to get home to our families.  Isn't it amazing that awful tragedies have to happen for us to FULLY know how much we all love each other........  God Bless the families, friends, firefighters, and our hero's that gave up their lives. 

September 8 already!  What happened to August???  For the remainder of the year... I have a challenge for all of you!  Let's FINISH PROJECTS!!  What do you say?  Are you all game?  Once you finish a project - take a picture of it and email it to me (oldgreencupboard@aol.com).  I'll post it on my BLOG so everyone can see how much we are all getting accomplished!

I'm so excited to be able to help Cinnamon's Quilt Shoppe with her wool projects.  Eventually she wants to add wool to her fabric mix!  Is that exciting or what?????  She's given me several projects to finish as samples.  They are both from Primitive Gatherings (now how darn cool is that... love her stuff).  One is a AUTUMN GLORY'S TABLE MAT and I'm almost finished.  Here's what the completed project looks like.  Isn't this GORGEOUS???

Then... this little fellow is a class I will be instructing at Cinnamon's this last quarter of the year.  It's so fast to make!  Mine is already finished and ready for it's stuffing.  These are super projects to make - one for each of your friends!



Then...........  Karen has asked me to begin a special "wool project" that will begin in January.  I don't want to tell you too much... I'm not sure if it's a surprise or not... I'll wait and ask her.. !

Ok... I'm off for another cup of coffee and then to my sewing machine.  Along with making all of these wonderful wool projects... I'm still sewing on 2 new quilt designs... and I LOVE THEM!  Can't wait to get them finished for you to see....

Remember.........  "Celebrate Handmade"  !!!

Here are my girls..... Jaimi is holding Lexi and to her right is Elizibeth and Eden in front.  They guy in the picture is their Uncle Lane!!!  He was watching a football game!  LOVE THEM!!
