pink coffee cone filter icon

I can't believe it's almost December...  I love my new job so far. I am woking on a huge software manual for a CT scanner, and the instructions direct the user to "the pink coffee cone filter icon".

November brought me so many crazy things!
1. Tonsillitis
2. 600 kidney stones (and counting...)
3. quit my new job
4. started a new new job
5. Olive was in the hospital for 3 days
6. lost my grand dad - RIP Dziadzi
7. FALL FABRIC FRENZY 2001 Shop Hop ADVENTURE

You can see the top 6 are SUPER Stressy  - So #7 was sooooo awesome- and so badly needed.


  


I was sick as hell- but on some super antibiotics, so Dr. said I was not contagious, so i hoped in the car and off I went with my super quilting pals from Philly!!!!

We went to SEVEN glorious quilt shops.

http://fallfabricfrenzy.com -- Check out the prizes!
The trip was superbly planned by Andrew- and he really made it all possible by driving us all around. I have been waaaaaanting to go on a Shop Hop - but have never really had the cash. :-(

It would be a waste of time and gas for me if I could not shop and buy fabric. The sad thing was - that it was only from like 10am-5pm. We wanted to hit all the stores, but we had to keep it to about 20-30 min for each store. You need to hit each store if you want to win the new sewing machine!

So i am saving up my pennies for the next one!  and I heard there is a NJ Hop soon- So hope I can have another amazing trip!

Here are some photos of all my loot!
Blue batiks for my Lollipop quilt - yeah i need to finish it now that i spent all that money!

Please message me if you would like to go on the next shop hop!

.....And this is the HUGE STONE I passed
6mm x 4mm  Insane.

I am still kinda sick. Now my hubby is sick. :-( Everyone- please get better!
