Super Bowl Shopping

DSC_7011

I am a sucker for a sale :) I tried really hard not to go to the sale but I couldn't resist. I got some great fabrics (including a quilt kit) at amazing prices from Hollyhill Quilt Shoppe. I better finish some projects so I can play with the new stuff. I really want to make myself a skirt for this spring/summer with the fabric in the back.

Hoping everyone had a great weekend,

Keeping Busy

DSC_0588-1

I thought I would pop in and say "Hi." It has been a little busy around the house this last weekend. I am working on a few projects and hopefully I will have some pictures to share soon.  We had a house guest and Colin has been teething. He is working on getting his bottom two one year molars in. The top two have broken thru but I am sure they still hurt.  He is a really good baby even when he is teething, I am just not used to him being so demanding and high needs. I know no poor me ;0)

There is still some fat quarters and yardage left of Lush by Erin Michael in the shop. If you don't see one you are looking for just contact me I may have it, with the exception of the paint by number birds. I only have one fat quarter left of the Lush -A Day in the Life, it's the paint by number deer scene.

Spring Cleaning

I have been trying really hard to clean up my fabric stash. It’s not easy when Colin helps :) the heap of fabric on the floor just grows and grows. I can’t even decide how to organize it. I like the idea of organizing it by designer in some sort of box but I just don’t seem to have the room.  Any suggestions?

This is where I would normally insert a picture but I am too embarrassed of my fabric mess to share it with you.

Tonight my husband suggested that some day I have my own room for this mess, implying that he wouldn’t have to look at it or work in it. Yes, it is that bad.

The good thing about cleaning, organizing, re-folding is that you find all kinds of wonderful fabrics that you forgot you had. Then all the ideas of what you were going to make with them come rushing back and the project list gets longer. DSC_0352-1

Or you digress and complete one of them :) A reverse appliqué mushroom linen bib. I used Jay McCarroll’s mushroom fabric from the Woodland Wonderland line. Like it? Love it? It is in the shop. I am going to have to make a second one for Colin :)

He did not want to model it for me. But he did with tears in his eyes. But I digress….(this is why my fabric is not getting organized)

In hopes to organize and to make my husband stop saying “your fabric stash sure has gotten big” I have decided to move some of my treasures to the shop. It is going to take me some time so check back often :)

Have a great weekend!
