Labor Day 2010

Thirty four years ago my mom went into labour with me. Ironically enough, it was Labor Day then too (09-06-76)! I wasn't born till the day after (yes tomorrow is my birfday :) !!) but my mom and I always laughed about it! So....happy Labor Day!! Hope you all had a safe weekend!! 

Just a few things to show you. :) 

My DSQ9 (Doll Quilt Swap #9) is done! I put the finishing touches on it tonight and it will be in the mail tomorrow! I hope my partner likes it! 

Here is "Little Star-lits"...

A better view of the quilting...


 Then a shot of the label.....with the name covered of course. :D


 Now I just have some cuteness for you to see.... Odyssey sleeping on my ironing board....


Odyssey still sleeping....she's out like a light!


And still sleeping....


 Isn't she the cutest?


 She finally got sick of me taking her picture and sat up.... still half sleeping...


 Then she yelled at me.....


 Twice!! LOL!!


Nah...she was only yawning...but I thought it was funny just the same!! :)

Hope you enjoyed the slideshow!

Much Love!!!

  5. Happy early Birthday! It's my daughter's Birthday today. She wasn't a labor day baby though. I think it's pretty cool that she'll always have a 3 day weekend near her Birthday!

    I LOVE your quilt. I hope I can get my points to look so good someday! Love the quilting you did on it as well.

  6. Happy birthday to you tomorrow. My DH's birthday is also tomorrow and he was born on a Labor Day. We have always chuckled about that.

    We, too, have an orange tabby that looks like yours. Unfortunately, ours is VERY old and is painfully thin these days. As long as he is content and apparently pain free we will let him have his simple pleasures.

    Love your pretty quilt. I am sure it will be appreciated.

  13. Happy day before your birthday. I love the quilt and really like the straight line quilting you did. There can never be too many cute animal pictures in a blog as far as I'm concerned!

  14. The cutest cat ever!!! I wish DH would let me get a cat but I know that will never happen.
    Oh and do I really need to tell you that I like the DQ? Because I think you already know how I feel about your stuff. lol
