Quilted Hugs Update and Giveaway Reminder!!

How many of you are getting those spare blocks out to send to me????

I hope lots of you!

I wanted to give an update of what I am working on for this project...
This is what is on my design wall right now.

I am trying to decide on which border to use.

The one on the left or the right?? hmmm....

So far I have one quilt ready to go.

I bought it at our local Quilt Show for only $5!!! Can you believe that price??

I another quilt pinned and ready to be quilted.
(No Picture)

I have two tops in progress.

They are both scrap quilts.

I am loving the piano key scrappy border, but I need to add another border to both and they will be ready to be quilted.

I have a stack of pannels waiting for me to do something with them.

Hey Lisa, I'm joining in on the fun. I just posted my New Years traditions on my blog. I love your crazy mopping antics.

Winner #2 ~ The winner of the "Mrs. Sharps Traditions" is ....
Marie Gilkey said...

I use a string mop because I can take head off and wash and bleach it in the washer when it gets dirty. I mop my kitchen and bathrooms every day and I still will be the first one to spill something on them. But with grandchildren and a dog and cat and a husband in and out all day, the floors can get pretty tacky. I, too, have been cleaning alot, but mainly because my husband is in the CCU unit at hospital and it keeps me busy. So please put me in your give away, it would be a nice way to start the coming new year. May you and yours have a safe and fun filled evening.

Please send me your addresses so I can mail out your prizes!
Thanks again and I hope everyone has a BLESSED 2011!!

Entering into the New Year!!

I have felt this way for as long as I can remember... The New Year should be entered in with a CLEAN HOUSE!! and a clean slate! So.... I appologize if I have offened, wronged, or hurt anyone this year. Isnt it amazing that the offender often wont remember the wrong they have committed, but the offened will never forget. So, I'm assuming that I MUST have offened, wronged, or hurt someone and I am truly sorry. Please forgive Me!

As found here are the origins of the saying - "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." Read it if you get a chance... very interesting. One of my favorite statements is the statement by John Wesley "'Slovenliness is no part of religion.'Cleanliness is indeed next to Godliness.'"

I have been "PREACHING" this to my kids for years, however that is our MAIN focus today. I started my cleaning earlier in the week, but as the week nears to the end we have stepped it up. I dont want any dirty clothes in the house. No trash, no clutter, no mess, etc. This is sometimes hard with "one" of my kids.... I wont name any names... but I think we all know which one it is.

I am on a roll so far... bathrooms have been cleaned litterally from top to bottom. Walls wiped down, baseboards cleans, floors swept, mopped (several times), mirrors cleans, etc. I am changing the sheets on the beds. Dishes are done and kitchen cabinets are wiped down. The house is dusted. The rugs have been all shaken out. And more...  I LOVE this feeling.

I am airing out the house today because the weather is soooo nice!

I have oftened wondered if I am the only person who sweeps then mops then sweeps and mops again, then sweeps again and mops with plain water.... Every time I sweep I seem to pick up more dirt and every time I mop the water comes out dirty. Do I have abnormally dirty floors? Do I have the wrong mop? Do I not sweep often enough? I sweep daily and mop every other day. Please tell me what you do.

When I was first married I used a sponge mop, because thats what my Mom used. Then I used to use a string mop because Ora said it was the best. They both seem to work the same to me. Now I use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Mop because when I was cleaning my friends house last year she had one and it was amazing how much dirt you saw on the mop. I wonder which kind is TRULY the best????

I would love some feedback.

I read once that the Dutch believed it was bad luck to enter the New Year with a dirty house or any outstanding Debt. That is awesome!

Happy NEW YEAR! May God Bless our 2011!

***** And for those of you who have read this far you will see there is going to be a GIVEAWAY*****

I am giving a TARGET Gift Card and a Copy of Mrs. Sharp's Traditions to the people with the best New Years Customs/ traditions story.

It can be your own Custom/ tradition or a History that you were told or read about.

I LOVE HISTORY!! so... here's to New Years!!

THAT'S TWO SEPARATE WINNERS!!  

If you win the Target Gift Card you could use it to buy a new mop... or something that will help make your 2011 better for YOU!!

Please post about this on your blog and link it back to this page or... if you dont have a blog click on "Comment" on the bottom of the page and leave your story or memory there.
