Where's Kitty? Dot-To-Dot-- Just in Time for National Pet Month in May

Are you up to the challenge of finding Kitty in over 30 global destinations?  

Where's Kitty Dot-To-Dot is one of Thunder Press' newest adult crafting books, published in March 2017.

Each puzzle has over 500 dots, some close to 1,000!  Challenging is a good word for them, but they can also be very relaxing just like the adult coloring books.

Everyone that I showed the book to had the same reaction...."Holy _____".  Fill in the blank with all kinds of words, because that's what I heard.

One friend started the Statue of Liberty as shown on the front cover.  I worked on it a bit too.

My youngest daughter (age 20) completed the Big Ben puzzle.

These are fun, and again, I will say challenging.  The numbers are small, and some overlap each other.  I actually am working on the Holly Wood sign puzzle.  I've had to get out my magnify glass a few times to make sure I was seeing the right numbers.

Do you want to give it a try?  I think this book will make a great gift for yourself, or for any adult on your list.  I also think that teens would really enjoy it.  It might even keep a teen off the gaming system or their phone!





Disclosure:  I rec'd a copy of the book for the purpose of this review.  I was not compensated in any other way and all opinions are my own.  Post does contain affiliate links.

WIP Wednesday-- Quilt Retreat Report

As usual, I had a wonderful time at the quilt retreat and I feel like I got a lot done with all those hours of dedicated sewing time.

The first thing I made sure to get done was my President's block for the outgoing President of our guild.

I then got out the red string blocks and got those finished.  I plan to start putting the quilt together after getting one more color of string blocks made.

I then did some fixing and adding to my guild challenge.  I'm very pleased now with how it is----and it's ONE out of 17 of the 17 UFO's in 2017 that I can actually say is done now.

Then it was time to bite the bullet and finally get this Charming Stars top worked on.  I am pretty proud of myself for sandwiching it and then actually taking the hours it took to machine quilt around each star.  Hopefully I really will finish it in the next couple of weeks.

Last, but not least, I was able to get 2 more rows on to my black and white with a little red quilt.  Again, I didn't have enough black and white to make all of the blocks.  I'm anxious to finish this and really hope that it won't take me until the next retreat to work on it!

Haven't stitched a thing since Saturday night, but cross your fingers for me that I get the yo-yo's out when I am babysitting this week and get some work done on those!

Kidecals--Personalized Labels for Both Kids and Adults

When I was going to kidecals.com to place my order, I was wondering, just which of my 11 grandchildren I would get labels for.  
When I arrived on the website I found out that kidecals offers so much more than just labels for your children's items!    Oh, there are plenty of those to choose from, whether you want to mark their belongings for school, camp, sports, or anything else.   About any design you want that fits your child can be found.  The choices seem to be endless.   I had so much fun looking through the site to decide just what I wanted.
I could have gotten a name sticker for each of the 11 grandchildren.  A sticker for their bedroom door, for example.

The site name is kidecals, but don't let that fool you!  There are stickers and decals and labels for everyone--from newborn to parents.
There are labels for every occasion even including canning and organizing.   Elder labels, camp labels, luggage tags, fun stickers and so much more.

 You can order keyboard stickers in so many cool designs (Created for Mac (Apple) keyboards only. Printed on premium quality removable vinyl with a non-residue acrylic adhesive that's ideal for delicate surfaces. Easily removable and won't harm keys).   Unfortunately I don't own a Mac as I would have ordered a set for sure (once I finally made a choice of the many designs available).  Here is just one of the many choices:

I went to the mommy section for my choices.  It was so much fun getting these stickers for my daughters.
My youngest daughter needed this one--fits her perfectly.  It's on her bedroom door, and you better not wake up little Amelia once she gets to sleep!

I bought the hush.....sleeping baby one for my oldest daughter who will give birth to her 6th child in September.  The Property of Mom Hands Off and Property of Scary Mommy I will let each of my 3 daughters have one of each.....and I plan on keeping one for myself.

This sign is just for me and right on too  LOL  (Me and wine is a big joke between myself and my children.)  It's now on my front door.

When you first get to the kidecals website you can sign up for their newletter and will receive 10% off your order.  Special for my readers is a 15% discount for using the code: kidecalslabel.

I also want to mention that the stickers are waterproof, laundry safe, BPA free, and cute!

I hope you check out kidecals and let me know what you think---and what you order for yourself.

WIP Wednesday-- Almost a Finish

I finished my challenge quilt for quilt guild, but I can't mark it as finished yet.  There are so many mistakes and I need to rectify those.....especially before it would hang in a quilt show!  The plan is to have a section at the Wichita quilt show next year to display our guild's challenges.
Here is mine, still counting as a WIP since I'm going to work on it more.

Sadly, the only other thing that I managed to work on at all last week (while trying to finish the challenge) was to get one step further on my red string quilt blocks.  Obviously I'm not going to be doing this months color at the soscrappy blog (which isn't really a color, but instead to use up the fabrics that have so many colors you don't know what color they really are)

The good news is that I will be at a quilt retreat Friday and Saturday.  My trunk is packed with my machine, projects, and supplies.  I can't wait for those hours of dedicated sewing time!!

WIP Wednesday -- At Least Something

I didn't end up putting up a post last Wednesday and I just really hadn't gotten anything done.
I sure haven't done much this past week either.
I am way behind on making my yo-yo's now....so much for that 365.  I didn't even think to take a picture of what I do have made.

I did finish one thing this week....not in my 17 UFO's in 2017 challenge.  A lady at the bowling alley requested that I make her bags for her bowling shoes.  Working on the fly with no pattern, they came out pretty well and she loved them.

Last week was sewing day at church and I got just a few more polyester 9 patches done on the top I am hand sewing.

Friday evening was sit n' sew at the quilt shop.  I got out the Arkansas Crossroads quilt top that I've not worked on for months now.  I had to reorganize, but did get 7 more blocks made for it

I have over half of the hand quilting done on my challenge for quilt guild.  This is a must to finish by the end of this weekend as it's due on Monday!  Wish my luck.
