christmas project

i may or may not have started a new christmas project...

without finishing my old christmas projects...

what can i say... i'm my mothers daughter : ) and isn't it WAY more fun to start a project then to finish an old one.

i love to CREATE!

hopefully i'll get'er all done. but who can blame me for not finishing when this little chubby man is around!

oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree

i love your NEW decorations.

but now your skirt, doesn't match

i'll try real hard to sew patch...

Laminated fabric

just a quick note to let you all know that the LAMINATED FABRIC that i talked about in my last post is on sale now at FABRIC.com.

GO check it out! it's a GREAT deal!

there's something about...

a chair in a GARAGE SALE that excites me. i think it's the endless possibilities, giving something a NEW life and it's a small enough project that you don't feel overwhelmed.

i was lucky enough to find THESE lovelies for $2.00 a piece...

i know they're not much to look at now but wait until i add some TLC and a little of Heather Baileys laminated prints from her NICEY JANE line!

they're going to look FABULOUS! can't wait to get the fabric so i can get started on them!

p.s. i'm on the look out for 2 - 3 more chairs if anyone knows of any.

p.p.s. i'm having a FABRIC SALE next week! more details to come : )

thanks!

thanksgiving...

this past weekend it was CANADIAN thanks giving. it's not often that i get to cook a thanksgiving meal. but this year i had the opportunity to make one for my family. i really enjoyed myself!

here's a recipe i found for the weekend. since i LOVE these so much i thought why not make the same thing but with PUMPKIN! i changed the cinnamon into all spice. they were delicious! maybe even better the next morning for breakfast ; )

i have a lot to be thankful for!

i sewed today...

for the first time in months.

i think i have had a little bit of post baby blues. i'm working on it though. it's a slow process, i think a little more sleep could help. any suggestions on how to get your little one to sleep through the night or at least more than 2-3 hrs?

i bound my DEER VALLEY quilt! it's SEW fun to finish off a quilt that has been patiently waiting for binding.

i love it!isn't the back fabric FABULOUS!

sorry i haven't been around much. i think it'll be a while before i start blogging more regular.

i've missed it...

oh Darla!

Tanya Whelan came out with a fabric line called Darla a little bit ago.

i HEART the blues, pinks and reds in this line. they make for a REALLY cute baby quilt!

when my sister-in-law called and asked for my help to make her sister (my old room mate and friend) a quilt for her soon to arrive baby girl, i was happy to help!

so we drafted our own pattern and came up with a pretty original design!

what a little sweet heart! with 3 older brothers in the house, you can never have too much PINK!

curtains

the CURTAINS that i was working on are almost complete! i just have to hem them.

it was a new process for me so i called in some back up... my friend has made many sets of curtains and she just happens to be very particular at what she does and i LOVE that about her : )

i found curtains to be alot of measuring and remeasuring but once you get to the sewing part it seems to go by fast. i am SO happy with how they turned out. they give a new look to my once colorless, living room!

THANKS!
