TREE SKIRT...

CHECK!

it feels SO good to check this one off the list. i wouldn't allow myself to wrap any of the presents until i had this done. which definitely gave me some incentive to finish...

well... as finished as i can get it. i wasn't able to find 2 1/2" fabric coverable buttons so i'll just have to get my sister to find those for me... (Canada some times... ; )

my inspiration came from combining this pattern and this pattern.

it was tricky sewing basically a circle quilt but it was definitely worth it! and like my husband said..."you won't have to sew one of those for a really long time." which is probably a GOOD thing.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

NOW, get sewing those christmas projects ; )

the tree skirt

is coming along nicely!

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...
