GIVEAWAY DAY!!!

Yeah it is here.....it is the funniest day in the world of blog's....it is Sew Mama Sew's giveaway day!!!

I think this is so much fun. I love going to the blogs and doing some fun stuff on mine...love it!1

Well I won't bore you with my life story so here it is the giveaway...


I am giveaway a pink colored table runner. What a great thing for summer. It is about 4 foot long and 12 inches wide!!

(and small disclaimer....I STINK of photography!! Most of the quilt was made with an Amy butler line, that I can not remember at this time. So sorry the pictures are not so good!!!)


Here is a good picture of the colors in the quilt!

Here is a longer version of the runner!!

I will be doing a random number draw so please make sure that I can get a hold of you via email, or I will have to 'draw' another winner! :(

I think that is all the 'business'

so of course have fun!!

Okay, I stink

Well, it has been a crazy time in our house lately!! Between the house remodel and just living...

so sorry but I stink. Then I saw that sew mama sew was having thier giveaway and I thought that was super fun, I should do that again!! So I am!!

Well I have had a lot of sewing flops lately...sad....I guess that is all part of learning. But right now I am doing two quilts. One for my oldest son. He got to pick ALL the fabic. It is the craziest quilt I have ever seen, but he is LOVING it!!! The second is a quilt for my grandma (I can say because she doesn't read this blog) it is going to be so special.....each block is a reminder of something she has done with me or something that reminds me of her.....I am so excited pictures to come later......

Thanks for you patience!!

House Redo

Well my sewing has come to a standstill. I think that I have done like two squares on my quilt in the last two weeks. We had another bout of sickness (having a family of 6 it takes a while for it to run through). so that took a lot out of me.

Then we decided that a couple of things need to be done on the house. We finally have the money (we don't do anything that we can't pay for NOW!!). So, I had to call contractor and met contractor and go to the hardware store and it take a while. So, finally the work will be done on Monday. Well, not entirely true the workers will be done on Monday. Then it will be time for me to work again. I have to repaint and reorganize and re-everything.

I am so excited that it is getting done. I have been wanting (and saving) for 5 years to get this done. So, I guess that I really should be happy!?!?!?

Well well well

I haven't posted in a while....there is a good reason.

Last week all puke broke loose in this house!! In one night three of my children in the span of about two hours, then my husband all night and into the next day! Me and the baby were the only ones not affected! It was crazy around here. Finally everyone is feeling better. I can get back to the things I love to do.

Play with my kids (not clean up after that)
Sew (very little time for that before)
and
Shop (I was kinda house bound for a while)

All is better (just a little bit of tired still).

I thought that I would share.........

The 80's strike back

I found this fabric on super clearance and thought that would be a cute skirt for my little ladybug....so I made up a pattern and here it is .....it looks really really cute with the footless leggings!!

She loves it, but then again she loves anything bright or colorful!!

And so it begins!!

Well it is the new year the craziness of the holiday's are behind us....time for new project!!

This is the first block to my new quilt!! This one is for me and my hubby's bed!! I never really like the comforter/quilt that I purchased at a store not to be named!! (it is out of business now) So I decided to make it myself. Our bedroom is a light blue and lime green with white and black!! so the colors I have decided for the quilt!!

I am super excited how it turned out.....

btw, I am doing the tutorial from quiltdad.com! He did it in September, I really wanted to do it then, but my plate was too full. So, new years and the quilt has begun!!


Now I need to decided if I want to do a store at etsy!?!?! Questions Questions!! I want to, but still just don't know!?!?!? I think I need to get through the birthday season (3 in two months)!!
