Quilt Festival - Spring 2010
Amy's hosting her amazing quilt festival - can't wait to see all the amazing quilts! I was trying to get this quilt done but the painting has put it on hold until next week so instead I thought I'd feature one that took me out of my comfort zone. A friend of mine asked me to make her a ...
So pretty Amber! I love how you used the different colorways like that :) And serged edges! I just found another reason to get one and learn to use it - thank you!!

It's been raining all week - so it's been fun to sew.... Finished up the last bit of binding this morning while watching this (gotta love that instant Netflix!) with the kiddos. Not sure where to put this one yet - for now it's on the couch ready to be snuggled with.... the back...

Couldn't help myself - yesterday I walked in to see racks of Liberty in Target (I had checked last week but there was nothing)... I got a dress (and top) for me but had to take it back - my chest is just too big for anything the style of dresses/tops...but my girls lucked out.... (how's the...

That's how I've been feeling...and I've been coughing so I've been taking Nyquil each night which leaves me in a stupor for the rest of the day - not a good combo.. Think I'm finally feeling better today though - and I got some great mail to help cheer me up! My pillow from the Pillow Swap from ...

Growing Mushrooms - To Eat
I first read about growing mushrooms in a Carolina Country magazine a few years ago. If I remember accurately, the article was detailing how farmers in NC and GA had a new commerical crop to grow-mushrooms. As a mushroom lover-I was immediately interested-but it sounded like the cost of getti...

I'm suposed to be working on the quilt for my sister-in-law (especially since she was early with little Elijah John and had him on Wed.) but I'm waiting on some white Kona so instead I've.... surprise, surprise ..... started on some new projects. I saw this pinwheel quilt-a-long on Dana's blog a...

Velvety soft (and a giveaway)
I got my order of Anna Maria's new flannel and oh my, is it soft! I cut into it immediately and used it in this empty frame. I ended up printing out some letters and made a little sign for the craft fair - does it look ok? I love this fabric - has anyone seen the cute love notes on Flik...

Too many thoughts
Do you ever have those times when you are trying to do too much and end up getting nothing done at all? That's how I feel lately. I think I just need to get a few things done for the craft fair next week and I will feel like I have done something. I did finally finish my embroidery for this swap...
That sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing :)

I am happy to say that I am now an owner of one of Lisa Leonard's lovely necklaces. Isn't this just the cutest? I love the simplicity of her look. "Together" is a word my hubs and I try to live by, although, admittedly, it can be hard at times. I purposely picked the word to remind myself o...

on the agenda
Well, friends, I've decided that this is going to be a crafty week. Last week I proved to myself that I can keep the house in order if I do a little bit each day, so this week I'm adding some craft time to the mix (good idea in theory). This will involve putting my knitting down (my usual week...

I wish I could show you some amazingly clever fabbity-fab-fab costumes that I lovingly stitched for the girls for Halloween. But I can't. This year the extent of my involvement in costumes was to get the dress-up box out of storage. Oh. Wait. I did craft Paige's crown out of some construction ...
