swimming

i was helping my sister-in-law order on-line fabric one day and she asked how much she should order. my response was to find a pattern and order what you need for that pattern, to which she replied "i just want to swim in it!" there's something about ordering just the amount you need for a project, completing it and moving on to the next. but sometimes you just want to be creative and have enough fabric around to be creative with.

i wanted to SWIM and my sister was the perfect teacher at the right price ; )

here it is...

do you think i'm swimming yet?

how about now???

a few display items for the store...

and a really BIG mess... who wants to clean

when you have all of this fabric to play with???

happy Wednesday!!!

custom...

i finished the custom quilt i was making. i hope you like it Amy! there were many emails back and forth about fabric and patterns etc. we ended up going with this pattern and a bunch of different fabric lines. i think that it all paid off... what do you think?

poster

i won't have my blankets quite ready for when the store opens up on wednesday, (i still need my fabric tags) so the store owner wanted to put up a coming soon poster in her shop. who better to call then my brother-in-law CJ. he has MAD skills. i LOVE it! the logo is perfect, the adorable model is my little niece Ida... who could resist those chubby cheeks. i am thrilled!!

thanks so much for all your help!

if you haven't seen CJ's work go check it out, i bet you've seen it without realizing who was behind the camera!

re-branding

hey all,

it's been a little busy around here the last couple of days...

i got a phone call from someone that is opening up her own "brick and mortar" store. the store is located in a new mall opening August 19 and she wants to sell some of my handmade GOODS in it! i am sooooooo excited!

so the past couples days i have been pondering what fabrics and trims to order, i need fabric tags and product labels and all of the other things that come with starting a little business that you don't think about. as you may or may not have noticed my blog title has changed to:

LULLABY LUCY

i really liked bebe bobbin but it was confusing to pronounce and there are a few companies

with "bebe" in them around here. my etsy shop will stay the same until i am able to change it over. thanks everyone for helping me choose a new name and thanks to my sister for helping me with the fabric side of things.

here's another little project that has been keeping me busy. i have been making a custom quilt for a great lady. the fabric combinations are amazing and i am so excited to see what it looks like when it's finished (hopefully sooner rather than later ; )

thanks again guys,

apple's

i think apples might be the PERFECT fruit. they come in all different variety's, they are very easy to grow, they can be a full meal, they don't make a mess when given to a toddler, they are beautiful to look at, they make delicious desserts and i just recently found out that they can be very entertaining!

there was the biggest rain storm here the other day and some of the apples were nocked down from the tree.

what do you do with apples that are to small to eat? apparently you have an "apple war".

you can imagine how hilarious it was to watch the kids throwing apples at each other. the boys on one team and the girls on the other huck'n apples. there were some near misses and some direct hits that left a few in tears but all in all they had an "APPLE of a GOOD TIME".

ouch... right to the head.

i think we'll stay at the cabin until after the weekend and then header home. it's been really nice to be able to stay or go as we please this summer. very stress free!

cabin

we are just out at the cabin for a little FUN and RELAXATION! it's been really nice to have the kids off for the summer; we are basically doing what ever we want. we are so lucky to have a place to come that feels like our home away from home!

the boys with some of their cousins.

the big group.

we made chokecherry syrup... mmm.

and of course, a little bit of sewing...

have fun in the SUN!!
