i heart my new cutting mat
July 25, 2009 By 4 Comments
For reals. Why did I never get one before now? I used a cheapo (small) scrapbook cutting mat that i got for $2, and a cheapo rotary blade was...well, cheap. I can't believe I made quilts with that thing. Yesterday Aimee, Kim, and I (plus kiddos) went to Joann's, and both Kim and I got these SAH-Weet cutting mats at 50% off. Gotta love those … [Read more...]

ER trip
July 23, 2009 By 7 Comments
I did not expect our trip to the library to end in a trip to the Emergency Room, alas, it did. Before you freak out, Sadie is ok. We were checking out some books and she slipped on the tile and fell face first on the ground, pretty hard. Right away I knew it was more than the usual fall...she was screaming and when I picked her up blood was … [Read more...]

haha! You knew I'd be back here with a quilt before too long, didn't you? Agh, you know me too well. I had a fire burning under me to get this done...I don't know why! It was so fun though, and I got to try out three new quilting things: 1. free motion quilting (so fun, but tiring for your arms. aka the squigglies) 2. stacked coin quilt … [Read more...]
toddler couch makeover

Last week I visited my friend Dixie, who just had a baby boy 6 weeks ago. Not only did I get to cuddle with her son, Sadie got a present! Her daughter's Dora couch, which was hidden in her closet and we snuck out while she was playing on the Wii. Just kidding, she said it was fine to give away. Anyways, I was psyched because I'd had a couch like … [Read more...]

Sorry about the title, I couldn't help it. I saw this tutorial and just had to make some of these oh so cute strawberries. For Sadie of course. I want to get her a kitchen play set for Christmas, so I'm working on felt/fabric food for her to play with. So far, I have these strawberries and two sugar cookies. This morning, Janae and I went to the … [Read more...]
