The mailman brought

more than bills and junk mail today!
I've been lurking, snooping looking at wool related blogs lately, and I found Three Sheep Studio . Rose was having a little giveaway and I thought what the heck!
Well I won!  How awesome.
And today the little package arrived.
It's a Beaded Berries Kit with lovely wool too!  I will be making a blueberry strawberry-how fun.
Thanks so much Rose!

In other news, I had the day off today! woo-hoo.  My to do list was so long and in my head (I should have written it down) that I woke up at 4:30am and couldn't go back to sleep.  It's 6:15 pm as I write this and I'm still going strong.  
I started sewing at about 6am and am so happy that I got my block a day blocks together, one more flimsy.

It needs a name. I'll work on that at some point.  I really should get a label made while I'm on the computer and thinking about it. It measures 68 x 90.
I think it's pretty cool.

I've been sewing my Dresden sashing together as my Leader/ender I have a bunch of twosies of 2.5" squares and thought I better sew a few together and audition them to be sure I like it.
I do like it. I cut some of the background fabric for the setting squares and I like that too.
The other side of my design wall has all the other projects I have going on right now-I think that's all of them.

Oh I don't have my guild's block a month up there but that's not anything I can work on until I get the next months pattern.  The piece on the bottom left is some more block a day's that I put together at the beginning of the year, never really decided what to do with it. I'm thinking now of just adding a border and calling it a table topper and just get on with it.

I do have to get going on this.
 
  I want it done for Christmas. I got the pattern sometime this year, early too. Oops, may have just jinxed myself.

Oh and today I mentioned Thanksgiving 
(we have it here) just casually but still, it's been spoken about

time is sure flying by.

Gorgeous flimsy, and your design walls look great! Esp. the yummy dresdens. Love how you're setting them together. :)

Congratulations on your win! You do have a few pans in the fire don't you?
