Talked to my bff, Frances, tonight. She lives about 360 miles away, UP in Illinois. I'm DOWN in Southern Indiana almost to Louisville Ky.
She's the one that gave me the terrific bag pattern that my daughter and I had so much fun with.
We're going UP to Illinois for a visit at the end of the month--I'm SO looking forward to going UP and seeing her!
No, Frances, I'm NOT making fun of you...yes I am! :) All in fun! Miss you!

Siggie Fever
OMG! I've caught Siggie Fever!
The DJ group just had the "big swap" and I submitted my siggies. Wasn't really sure I wanted to do it but I joined the list just after last year's swap and felt SO left out when everyone got their beautiful siggies in the mail. Didn't want to go through THAT again!
So I made my 135 siggies and sent them in. We don't have all the siggies back yet (Wonderful Deb Giggles is swapping them out but waiting for stragglers before sending them out to us), but another swap was started--a Christmas Swap! I can't wait! My mind keeps going round and round and round--what do I want to do on my Christmas siggie? So many ideas, finally decided to wait and see what everyone else's look like before I make a decision.
I also joined the International Siggie list. So far I've only gotten the one from the host of the swap, Annalies. But it is beautiful. It has little sock monkey "see no, hear no, speak no evil" on it! She's been collecting them since she was 15 and says she has a lot of them. I can't wait for more! I'll need to send a few out and see what happens.
From what I can see online there are many siggie addicts out there. I hope to exchange with all of them! Ok, maybe just lots of them?

We made "bags"!
My UFO for April was to make a Tammy Tadd tote bag that I had purchased the stuff for almost a year ago. The directions were so hard to follow that I just didn't even want to attempt it. But...the quilt quild picked that number so that was the project that was due. Guess what?! I did it! Not only was it MUCH easier than I thought it was going to be, but I so enjoyed doing it that I went on and made the small bag!
Then my daughter wanted me to teach her to make one so I made one for the other daughter while I taught!
The doggie fabric is my tote (DUH!), and the orange/blue batik bag is my purse. My daughter made the red & green bag--it has Charlie Brown & Lucy golfing! And I made the purple & white bag for my other daughter. I used alphabet fabric because she's a teacher.
My youngest & I had a lot of fun making them!
