Road 15 Zippy Pouch


Cute zippy pouch from the Road 15 fabrics which were still out.
Doing a Bag It series with Elm Street Quilts this month.

Check it out. Great inspiration & great prizes.













 This little cutie patootie is only 6" x 4". I had my scraps out still from making my autumn table runner and decided to use some of the blacks in this line.

Evidently, I was not done with  matchstick quilting.
Although this little bag is so tiny, it went super fast with no insanity breaks needed.



 This is my jade plant. I married into it. Poor, sad, excuse for a house plant, I stuck it outside on the back porch intending it to move on to composting pastures. Every time,  Daisy, our new golden retriever puppy, brushed her tail against it as she gamboled around in the way new puppies do, another branch would come off.

A weird thing happened, as in you should prune your houseplants! -- new growth popped up all over.


I've had this jade plant now for 25 years. It started blooming a few years after it's metamorphosis when I brought it inside for the winter and I've nearly killed it once as you want to leave them out until the first frost (Willamette Valley banana zone - late october/early november). But it came back. You should prune your jade plants. Amazing things happen.

The blooms last 3 -4 months and are star white with a hint of pink. Tiny little things and all the more surprising because people don't expect it
