I tell ya...tryin to figure out what to get Lil Lilly's boyfriend was a chore. I kept thinkin in the back of my mind I'd find somethin on my trips thru the stores while Christmas shoppin.......that didnt happen. Just COULD NOT find anything that I thought he'd like, need, or want. So.....the night of Dec 21, I started him a quilt. I worked frantically until 2 am that night. Then got up and had to go buy a few things for it, the material for the underside, and the binding the next day. Came home that night and worked until 3 am finishin it up. I was really wonderin if I'd get it done. He and Lil Lilly were to exchange gifts the next day 23rd, cuz he was goin out of town for Christmas. I washed it after finishin it, and then put it in the dryer the mornin of the 23rd......got it out, folded up...in a box and wrapped about 30 minutes before he got here. LOL It was still warm from the dryer I think haha. Anyway, he loved it. Since he drives Mr Lilly's dad's race car I thought it appropriate to use a racin theme. The squares of this quilt are from an upholstry sample book that I'd gotten a while back thinkin it'd make a good sturdy quilt.
Here's a pic of it.
Then.....sometime this last summer Lil Lilly had gotten her "sparkly belt" hung over the saddle horn durin a run, and it broke in half. So that's what she's been wantin for Christmas. So he got her one. But as a joke, he wanted to do somethin else. So I helped him out. He'd told her he got her somethin in a black velvet box. So....I took a piece of hay twine, put some fabric glue on it....then put glitter all over it. Walla.....a sparkly belt. Coiled it up, and put it in a lil black velvet jewelry box.
Then the real one he got her...it's really cute. Has cowboy boots all the way around it, and lots of rhinestones.
She got him a tool kit. Since ya need that kinda thang when your at the race track. And he didnt have any tools.
(Mrs Greg......just so ya don't feel alone...these four pictures took me the biggest part of an hour to get loaded into photobucket. I even tried the bulk uploader and it never would load) I really think it's because photobucket has sooooo many people usin it, it's just slower than all git out.
