Not much going on this week. Curiosity got the best of me and I did draw up my newest rag quilt design on a piece of paper earlier in the week. With all the other plans this week, that's as far as I've gotten and as far as I will get at least until the weekend. I hope to get the cutting done at that time. This quilt will be more for the intermediate to advanced rag quilter with all of the triangles that will go into it.
Enjoy your day and I'll be back soon with another update.

New Stocking and Ornament Pattern
I just finished my newest pattern this morning. And got it uploaded to Pattern Mart only minutes ago. I call it Patchwork Applique Rag Quilt Stocking and Rag Ball Ornament. Another fun pattern for only $3!

News About the Fancy Mice
Well, PetSmart states that they are selling female mice. Guess what! I discovered that Maggie really is a Magellan.....a male. All this domination over the past couple of days and the larger size; now it all makes sense. Now I'm stuck with a decision. Do I take back these two mice or take their offspring to the store when they come along? I really don't think I'm ready to deal with babies so I'll probably take these two back and bring home ONE new mouse. That way there will be no questions. It won't matter whether it's a male or female. I am sick about this; they're all lovey dovey now. So I can't just get rid of one without getting rid of the other.
Oh, well! Live and learn.

Coming Soon!
Another rag quilt pattern will be available soon. But this one is on a smaller scale and just in time for Christmas! Quick to make! Make several for the entire family and all of your friends - or even to sell. The item itself should be finished today. I should have the pattern completed over the weekend. But I want to make a few more things to go along with it (I'll be selling the set on Ebay) so it may be just a few more days before I release the pattern. Just wanted to let you all know that I am working!
Have a great weekend.

More Ebay Items!
Got these added to Ebay later last night http://shop.ebay.com/krafty-tools/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=. All bids started at .99 cents. The quilt and matching pillow are already over $15 this morning. Woo hoo!
I finished the second doll in our Jellie Beenz collection - Peppermint. So far she and Licorice each only have .99 cent bids. See quick peeks below of this week's listing. More pics on Ebay.
I listed in categories that offer 12 FREE pics with the FREE large pics that expand while people are looking through all the listings. I guess it's something Ebay is doing for the crafters to keep them from all going to Etsy. Works for me! The dolls are in Art > Direct from the Artist > Folk Art and Primitives. The quilt is in Collectibles > Linens and Textiles (1930 to now) > Quilts. Don't know how long that will last so I'm taking advantage while I can.
