It's finished....and I cleaned, don't die of shock!

I was a little worried about the thread as I neared the end. I made it!
I tried taking these pix without the flash, they aren't that great either. One of these days when I have time to mess around, I am going to practice taking some so I can get good color! I used a feather panto and like how it flows into itself with each row.
Here is the back....

After that I decided to clean a room. My house has been sorely neglected the last few months...so it felt good to clean. I have lots of little 'stuff' sitting around, like tea sets and bears and other crafty things I made, so had to wash that stuff and fluff what can't be washed in the dryer. I swear some of it is going to be put away, I am tired of dusting it. But I love my little tea sets, so they will probably stay. And you have to have a few little guys to go to the tea parties. See why I have problems putting stuff away?

Garage Sale Finds & I need HELP!

I bought this fabric with some others last summer when I went to visit my sister in Canada. I would like to find some more if possible, but this fq didn't have the info on the selvage, so I have no idea of mfr. or anything. If you recognize it and could let me know the name, mfr, anything basically, I would be very appreciative! I have been searching all over (pretty futile really, when I know nothing about it) and finally realized that maybe my blogging friends might have the answer!
I went garage sale-ing with my sister yesterday. I don't go much as I work a lot of Sat. and even when I do go I usually give up after a few. She is a champion garage saler....she finds something for someone at every one....lol....so I managed to find some good stuff too since I was with her.Isn't the kitty towel adorable?
I never find bone china tea cups around here. I love the fluted edges on this set.
This tea set is nothing special, really, I just like it because it has an asian flair.
Another bone china tea set. This one is smaller and very pretty... I love them!

I also found a mega amount of legos (I love legos!) for a good price, some books and a few other odds and ends. It was a fun day!

It's Friday, It's Friday....

and boy am I glad!!! Seems like a long week, getting back to work at school and teaching classes too. I also had a tea party to go to, and help make food for Thursday night. I had made the mini quiches, and frozen them and they turned out great!!!! Everyone loved them. We had many good finger sandwiches also: chicken salad on biscuits, ham salad roll-ups & cucumber & tomato sandwiches. Of course no self respecting tea party would be complete without many yummy desserts. We had fancy cookies, mini cheesecakes, lemon bars, fudgey rice bars, little pastries with chocolate pudding and whipped cream and pastries with strawberries and whipped cream. The table was so pretty. Unfortunately I forgot my camera, but some of the others brought theirs, so hopefully they will email me pictures I can post here. It was a great party and the best part was chatting with friends I don't get to see too often.

I have a UFO day at the store tomorrow, which is just a class for them to bring their unfinished projects and work on them, and get help if they need it. It is always fun. Not sure how many are coming, had a big turnout a few weeks ago, so we'll see. I am taking the oriental pieces to work on in case only a couple come and there is not much for me to do. Maybe I can get them basted to the back and batting.
