Last week I worked on a piece for possible publication and sent it off to meet a deadline. I wish I could show the whole piece because I was so happy with the way it turned out.
This is just a piece of a corner.
I’ve also been working on my scrappy quilt again. I decided to change how I am doing the binding so I needed a solid border around the whole quilt. I got that finished yesterday and started making the binding. I’ll share my quilt progress in another post.
I also had to share my traditional gift to my neighbor for his New Years eve birthday. They generally have a party with all the neighbors invited. It’s really great since it’s right across the street. No driving required.
Each year I give him some sort of beer but in recent years I’ve been trying to be clever about it. Last year was Rein-beers.
And this year I got him some Canadian beer…of course, it’s cold there so they needed some hats to keep them comfortable.
I’m still chuckling at the little hats although I am easily amused.
Today is more sewing, laundry and cleaning. And shoveling. It’s currently snowing and we are expecting 2-4 inches. Hopefully it will stop and the roads will get cleared before the teen has to drive home from school. It was bad enough that he took off for school as the mess was beginning. The grey hairs have started from worry with a kid driving. Glad I’m blonde…..I should be able to go gracefully into grey. HA!
What are you doing today?
Halle they are adorable !! Both the reinbeers and the hats… You are clever aren’t you?! :) lol Well i have some cleaning to do like you and i need to paint some trim… so tired of painting trim….hubby is digging ditch with a neighbor … so glad i’m not doing that… Happy happy T day! Hugs! deb
I hope your piece gets published, because that tiny corner looks AWESOME. I love sewing on paper, as you know.
Loved the latest beer with the hats. That was SO clever. I’m always in awe of your beer gifts to your neighbor. Thanks for sharing both last year’s and this year’s beer with us for T this Tuesday.
Gray hairs? Not you, dear!
LOVE your fun beers. Great idea. my neighbour would love those! Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
good luck with getting your piece published. I used to send things in all the time but stopped last year just feeling like I wanted a break. I haven’t even been keeping up with the magazines either.Just doing my own thing. What clever ways to give a six pack of beer and i love the hats!Stay warm and safe, and happy T day!
Clever beers! :) You have a fun sense of humor. Can’t wait to hear if you get published. Hugs-Erika
What fun! What next year I wonder? Hope you get published – what I see looks fabulous! Hugs, Chrisx
Wow, how exciting to be considered for publication – that’s such a great achievement in itself and the little corner of your piece looks stunning. I just love the Rein-beer and little hats, they had me laughing with joy :-). I showed my hubby who is a keen home brewer and he thinks they are amazing too. Happy T Day! J :-)
The dressed beer bottles is a great gift idea and they looked such fun.
Good luck with the possible publication, the snippet you shared looks fabulous.
Happy T Day

Tantalizing corner of your page. The color is so delicate. What publication will this be in? The beer bottles are so cute. I especially loved the hats. Kids driving in bad weather. Still makes me shudder even though she’s a young woman now.And I found if I have my dark, hair cut really short, you don’t notice the grey. :-D Enjoy your day
Fun ideas with the beers ♥ Can’t wait to see the whole piece you sent off… GOOD LUCK!!!! I remember well the anxiety of teen drivers…. not a fun time as a parent. Happy Belated T Day!!!!
I’m amused too, Halle ;-) What clever ideas – rein-beers and little winter hats. Good luck with your submission. The sneak preview corner is gorgeous. Happy T Day!
Little beer hats! Such fun lol
I love the beer in the hats. I’m sure your neighbour will have had a chuckle too.
Do you know yet if your work will be published? How exciting!. I’m sure you’ll let us know. From what I can see of it, it looks beautiful.
Sorry I’m so late in commenting, I’ve been away from my desk.
Belated happy T-Day,

Fun beer bottles…The Rein-beers really made me smile along with the array of hats :-)
Best of luck on your submission I bet you make it!
It’s been forever since I’ve gotten organized enough to do that.
Happy Thursday oxo
Your beer-bottles are gorgeous! I like the reindeer creations, but also the little hats. Grey hairs – I covered them with brown, but now it is time to let them grow, grey in grey, why not?
Happy T Day!
