Alberta baby's whooping cough death renews health calls for vaccinations | Alberta News | Lethbridge Herald
This article is an article about my cousin and her baby. This is such a tragic thing. Babies need our protection. We need to consider that these diseases are real and around us. I just got my booster. Have you had yours?

I still can't believe that I made this dress. It took over 80 hours. But I think I could even make another one...someday

Flat Iron Travel Case
This past weekend I worked on a pattern for a Flat Iron Travel Case. What is the last thing you usually pack? Your flat iron. And it's usually hot, at least mine is. I used to take a wash cloth to wrap it up in, until a few years ago, my friend Elaine gave me one for Christmas and I loved it. I just tweaked her design by adding a divider, outside pocket and a liner. I used fabric with a vinyl coating for the outside, thermal batting and regular cotton for the liner. If you'd like a pattern, they are available from either Chicken Feed Quilts, or myself. |

One more picture from Vegas
This is what used to be an open bar, and now is a pantry with a doorway into the laundry room attached to the garage for easy access.
House Arrest in Vegas
So I went to Las Vegas to help my sister Nola paint her new house. It was previously pinky beige throughout. We totally updated it with new colors. Benjamin Moore Aura paint was our paint of choice. We used HC-45 (shaker beige) as the main hallway color. HC-77 (alexandria beige) as the front entry. HC-86 (kingsport gray) as the backsplash color for the tiles. HC-102 (clarksville gray) for the master bedroom.
This is a 3640 sq ft Bungalow and we painted most of it in a week. The floor was Travertine tile. The carpet was a nice beige with a few dk brown threads through out. The countertops were a nice dark granite. The plumbing fixtures were the same pinky beige. But we replace them with white toilets, stainless steal in the kitchen and white sinks.
Here are some before and after pictures!

I do know how Martha Stewart must have felt on house arrest. Because I didn't leave the house much. Only to go buy our Craigslist purchases (which were fabulous). I did torture my sister on the last day by spending 1 1/2 hours in a Burlington Coat Factory store!
Work Work Work. Check out my ankle bracelet (for my parole officer to know if I escaped)

Wal-Mart at 12:30am, one of my only outings
No internet at the new house so I had to sneak in some internet time at the Wal-Mart McyD's
