Lily After Surgery

Lily is home with my sister and her hubby, and will be pampered and loved while she heals and finds some normalcy in what’s been a crazy life for a little kitten!

For anyone that missed it, Lily was adopted by my sister and her husband after she was abandoned on our parent’s property. Her leg was injured, but what we didn’t know what she had been shot. I’ve been on a mission to help my sister and her husband pay for the surgery Lily needed to save her life. Lily’s leg had shrapnel in it and was infected. She she was running a fever and her leg was amputated today to save her life. She’s on antibiotics and painkillers and short a leg, but she’s already improving, is happy, eating and being a kitten again, despite her big surgery today!

Lily After Surgery

In donations alone, we have raised $1300 to help pay Lily’s expenses!

I can’t say thank you enough. Really. THANK YOU.

Check out all the fantastic auctions going on at Love For Lily with all proceeds going to help with Lily’s medical expenses!

The PoD Goes To The State Fair


I want to give a HUGE congratulations to Shirley U., whose Project of Doom quilt won the Blue Ribbon at the North Carolina State Fair quilting competition in the “Other Technique” Category!

Can I even tell you how excited I am? I really don’t think there are words!

Her quilt will be on display October 12 – 23, so if you have the chance to go see it, please, please do.

And? If you do go? I want pictures!

Project of Doom Patterns right here on Sewhooked

I would encourage everyone that participated in The Project of Doom to share their finished quilt. Check with your local quilt guild about future shows, or your local library or school library to see if they might like to have it on display. Those things I plan to do with my own PoD once the quilting is complete.

We put a lot of fandom love into each of our quilts and we need to share it with the world! That’s my real hope for the legacy of this very special project we all participated in together.

Add your Sewhooked-related photos to my flickr group and you might be featured in a future post!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

TTMT #86 – Tolkien To Me Tuesday

I am embarrassed at how neglectful I’ve been of my poor, dusty crafty blog! Can it really be a whole week since I posted here? What possible reason, you ask, could I have for such blatant neglect of my online crafty home?

At the end of October, in a moment of insanity, I signed up for NaNoWriMo.

Yeah, I know, because I don’t have enough to do, right?

The awesome and amazing thing is, I did it! I wrote a 50,000+ word novel in a month, about 1/3 of which was written just this past weekend. So, I procrastinated… a little.  It’s done now and I’m proud of my work!

Today’s video is dedicated to Deb, who sent me the best early Christmas gift I could have possibly dreamed of! You’re right Deb, there really is magic in surprises.

Challenge: Winner!

Thank you so much to everyone that participated in the first ever Friends of sewhooked Challenge!  We had a handful of entries, and I appreciated each and every one!

The only requirement was to make any craft or pattern from sewhooked or the sewhooked blog and then post a photo either on the Friends of sewhooked flickr group or on the sewhooked_talk Livejournal community.    I also accepted emailed challenge entries.
The winner was chosen at random.  Thanks to my friend Cat for indulging me by choosing a number without any idea what I was up to. 😉

Without further ado, our winner!  ferraras on flickr!
