Hi, all!

If you're anything like me, you really lose track of the days lately - but it is finally Friday, and that means that it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Are you ready?  Let's get started!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

It has been a week full of little things that added up to a good bit of joy....


Like seeing AT&T finally burying our connection to U-Verse and the internet (it's only been ten weeks, after all!)


Receiving some pretty awesome happy mail - a handmade seam ripper from @craftyann59 (her husband makes them) AND a ...

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? I'm Not a Hoarder, I'm Well-Prepared! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Have you checked your calendar lately?  Yes, it's actually Friday - even though the days seem to run together, don't they!  And that means it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on - are you ready?  Let's get started!!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*


First things first - today is this beautiful girl's eighth birthday!  Certainly a strange time to celebrate it, but celebrate it we will. She's got her mom making her homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast, Lilli has worked out a special outfit, hair and makeup for her for the day, and Nancy raided my craft ...

Hi, all!

Have the days all started to run together for you, too?  But surprise, surprise - it's Friday again!  And that means it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on.  Are you ready?  Let's get started!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

It's amazing how our perspectives on life change when something drastic happens - and this "social distancing" has been a drastic thing for almost all of us, hasn't it?  So I can say without doubt that most of you will concur with me when I say that this may have been the most whoop-whoop-worthy moment of my week ...

Hi, all!

Crazy days, right?  But we can certainly find things to whoop about if we look hard enough, I'm sure!  And since it's Friday, that means it's time - so let's get started!


*&*&*&*&*&*&*

This week has been an experiment in cooking for me - not my favorite thing to do, especially not day after day after day (we eat out A LOT!).  But I've been trying some new recipes...


...like homemade ramen, with soft boiled eggs made in my Instant Pot!  This turned out really yummy and will definitely become a regular menu item!


We've ...

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

After being in this house for more than five weeks. I am happy to say that I'm starting to get settled into my new sewing space!  Lilli came over on Thursday and helped me by putting up my collection of mini quilts and other various wall art....



I really wish I had taken a better picture of her helping me with this task - she looked beautiful ...

*&*&*&*&*&*&*



Historic church in Nashville

I'm sure many of you have heard about the tornado that ripped through middle Tennessee Monday night - I know this because many of you have emailed me to see if I am ok!  (And that is definitely whoop-worthy - thank you so much to everyone who checked in on me!)

The building is gone, but the sign and ...

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Time Is A Gift... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Here we are at the end of the week once again - Friday has arrived and it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Are you ready?  Let's go!


*&*&*&*&*&*&*

It has been quite a week around here - it started off with finally getting the carpet laid in the office....


Now, that may seem like a funny thing to whoop about, but the first time the carpet guys came was way back on January 30th - and it took three trips and three weeks to get the right piece of carpet to finish this room!  But it ...

Here it is, Friday again - and you know what that means!  It's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  I hope you're ready, so let's get started!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

This morning when I woke up, I checked the weather like I always do.  Imagine my surprise when I saw that they were predicting 1-3 inches of snow for us!  Well, in Tennessee that doesn't mean much -  we get lots of predicted snow that never happens.  But at 7 a.m. I looked out the window.....


Snow!!  Big fat beautiful flakes - and the best kind ...

It seems like forever since last Friday, but guess what?  It's rolled around again, and it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Are you ready?  Let's get started!


*&*&*&*&*&*&*

This week has been dedicated to getting things in order at our new home.  Granted, I've been doing that while battling a cold - why do we always seem to get colds at the most inopportune times? But I have made some headway in the process.

First off, I moved some furniture around up in my sewing studio...


...and now I have seating areas ...

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

It's been a busy week of packing and moving, and I'm finally starting to see some headway!  This week the kitchen went from this...

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

When I started this week I didn't think I'd be able to find anything "whoop-worthy" for this Friday's post.  Boy was I wrong!  First of all, in between all the packing and cleaning and decluttering I did this week, I found time to finish something...


 I'm really loving this pretty ...

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? A Fresh New Year... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Well, here we are at Friday again - and not just any Friday, but the very first Friday of a brand new year!  I'm away on a cruise right now, but my grandmother always told me to "start as you wish to go on", and it just didn't seem right to let the first Friday go by without a chance to get our whoop whoop on.  So let's get started!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

I haven't been sewing (obviously) but I do like to take the beginning of the year to think about what's coming - and I can ...

Well, this is it - the final Whoop Whoop Friday for 2019!  I'm currently on a cruise, but I know that many of you have been working on projects you couldn't share before Christmas, so I wanted to be sure you had the opportunity to show them off now.  So this is your chance to share the wonderful things you made for others and do a little happy dancing!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

I haven't had a chance to finish anything new this week, but I did look back through this year's blogposts and have a few things to ...

Today it's time to reveal the last of my grandkids' annual quilts - this one is for Emmalyn, and I call it "Drama Llamas"!


Emmalyn has been very much a Drama Llama this year, so much so that we have a saying "No Drama Llamas at Nana's"!  So it ...

Friday has arrived in a rush this week, but it's here now and you know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!    So let's get started...

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

Surprisingly enough, even though it seems like it was a VERY short week, I managed to have a couple of finishes!  The first was this pretty baby quilt, actually a memory quilt...


The purple plaid was part of a well-loved childhood comforter and became part of this sweet little baby quilt.


If this looks familiar, it should - it's the same pattern as ...
