Sure I save the scraps that are even remotely close to being "usable" for another project but the tiny pieces of fabric, batting and snips of thread - well, by the time my project is done, I am emotionally attached to the "ingredients" so it's hard to part with anything. I literally stop as my hand hovers over a garbage basket and my hand freezes shut, refusing to open and drop the itty bitty pieces. I believe this is the first stage of my separation anxiety. Send it to a landfill? NO WAY! So, I have a bottomless pit of "unusable" cotton ingredients for a recipe that I haven't come up with.<br />The other day I was lucky enough to meet Deb and Cheryl - two really nice (and so fun!) ladies from <a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://www.crpqg.org/">Columbia River Piecemakers Quilt Guild</a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> </span>and they have solved my emotional dilemma! They stuff pillow cases with all their scraps, sew them closed and donate them to animal shelters to use for beds! Brilliant! I can now part with my leftovers, keep them out of the landfill and ease my separation anxiety with the feeling that maybe I made a puppy dog's day a little bit warmer and more comfortable!<br />I probably won't be able to part with actual pillow cases but I do have fabrics that I can use to sew up some quick alternatives. Daughter Maddy is pretty excited about this idea because she wants to have a doggy rescue facility when she grows up. This will be a great ongoing project that we can do together! Thank you so much Deb and Cheryl!Sweetie-Scrapshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15854718084189229179noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512794005288369494.post-887248850644576012011-09-29T21:40:00.000-07:002011-09-30T00:19:46.671-07:00Christmas isn't right around the corner.....................Unless you make most or all of your holiday gifts! I've been doing just that for - well - ahem - longer than I will admit. It seems like you can never start holiday projects soon enough. I am attempting to "make room" in my "making room." So, I shuffle, move, reshuffle and remove. I don't mean "remove" - oh no! I mean "re-move" so I don't actually have to part with the stuff that I love the very most! Which is pretty much everything.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h58c4DgW54I/ToVLByAXJtI/AAAAAAAAASY/D1CYBWkSEtU/s1600/fab%2526flannel%2B027.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h58c4DgW54I/ToVLByAXJtI/AAAAAAAAASY/D1CYBWkSEtU/s200/fab%2526flannel%2B027.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658011000836138706" border="0" /></a><br />So, I gave up for today and started taking photos of some winter fabrics & flannels to put in my ebay store. Well, isn't this just the cutest thing ever???? And it's from Moda so it's soft, warm and wonderful! I am going to make myself a quilt - maybe a rag quilt - to snuggle up in while I sit and hand sew, needle felt and crochet my way through winter! I listed some in my ebay store but naturally, I hoarded the rest! It's called Christmas Kitsch and I think these are the only three fabrics I have left from this line.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IfhLQxK8ofU/ToVLpBLdZJI/AAAAAAAAASo/bjPiv6LR50I/s1600/christmas%2Bkitsch.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IfhLQxK8ofU/ToVLpBLdZJI/AAAAAAAAASo/bjPiv6LR50I/s200/christmas%2Bkitsch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658011674924115090" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zJTTnW6Ovg0/ToVLpF72oNI/AAAAAAAAASg/Ez8-fnN0gRI/s1600/Christmas%2BKitsch%2BHolly.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zJTTnW6Ovg0/ToVLpF72oNI/AAAAAAAAASg/Ez8-fnN0gRI/s200/Christmas%2BKitsch%2BHolly.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658011676200837330" border="0" /></a>Sweetie-Scrapshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15854718084189229179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512794005288369494.post-15047997427865822802011-08-23T12:12:00.000-07:002011-08-23T12:42:04.962-07:00It never ceases to amaze me - the talent you find on Etsy!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_570xN.56063115.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 477px; height: 613px;" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_570xN.56063115.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<br /><div style="text-align: left;">I constantly peruse Etsy - for inspiration, supplies, gifts, and never ending personal peace and happiness. Vitamin E = Vitamin Etsy - I take it at least three times a day! And this artist (MG Gallery) is amazing. Her colors make me very happy! How beautiful is this? Fabric, thread, imagination, and talent!

Made of selvages - woo hoo!!!<br /><br /><div>Selvages are just amazing to me to begin with - why? Who knows. Could be the designer/textile company names, the color dots and/or the fact that I'm beginning to think that selvages are indestructable! I have a small quilted wallhanging made from selvages cut from fabrics in my store. </div><br /><div>As a fabric hoarder, recycler/upcycler and huge fan of anything unique and handmade, I had to contact the artist that made it and see if I could share it here! Thank you Sheri of Bungalow Quilts! Upon looking further into her shop, I found a bunny made of selvages, quilts, table runners, fabric paper dolls and more! Please visit her shop on etsy if you get a moment:<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/bungalowquilts">http://www.etsy.com/shop/bungalowquilts</a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>Sweetie-Scrapshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15854718084189229179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512794005288369494.post-22610421448474225152011-04-29T11:42:00.000-07:002011-04-29T13:12:58.107-07:00Spring Cleaning Clearance!

Wooty woot woot woot! I track the shipping 6 or 8 times a day until the morning of scheduled delivery - then I wait by the door, looking through the windows until my BFF of the day - Sam, the UPS driver - whom I refer to as "SAMta Claus" - shows up! Poor fella' probably dreads it. But he always has a smile on his face and is ever so helpful and kind. I'm pretty sure he thinks I am crazy. I'm not sure which fabrics are being shipped - sometimes they are out and sometimes they are on back order. Let's hope they are all in this shipment! I had to reorder a couple of these because they sold out! These are all from Michael Miller Fabrics and will be available in my etsy and ebay stores as soon as I can get them inventoried and listed! I just had to share my happiness! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591839428258888642" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZKyjPNsR8bw/TZo0VUpk-8I/AAAAAAAAARk/CGUe9cSADQE/s200/Bicycles%2BCX4892_Gray.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

I use chalks and a makeup sponge (cheap!) to edge the pieces in ink before I assemble them. </div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 165px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587367545839332114" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lm-sYt47jMg/TYpRLgdMqxI/AAAAAAAAAOc/SRSoU8DyT9Q/s200/BunnyA1.jpg" />Hidden journaling ~ this tag just tucks behind the photo mat! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 158px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587369843071072754" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UfncE7VUppA/TYpTROT7OfI/AAAAAAAAAPU/R-HCKtuo_84/s200/peek%2Ba%2Bboo%2Bbear.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587367551133048530" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vIIteXMJTSY/TYpRL0LUXtI/AAAAAAAAAOk/Ye1IxN4wJLA/s200/hidden%2Bjournaling.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 174px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587367557660480146" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CWU9wS15Hv4/TYpRMMflEpI/AAAAAAAAAOs/QJN6hiuvVTk/s200/hidden%2Bjournaling%2BOPEN.jpg" /></div><div align="center">More hidden journaling ~ I just used a small brad to allow the piece to "swing" open. </div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587369485487291138" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nVGmTyVgaFA/TYpS8aNTuwI/AAAAAAAAAPM/pmKA1CrcVI0/s200/prima%2Bflowers%2Bwith%2BStickles.jpg" /></div><div align="left">I dressed up some of my old Prima paper flowers by brushing them with Stickles!

But today rather than being frustrated, I am embracing the fact that I can harvest organic berries and make a ton of blackberry bread to freeze! No maintenance or care required! Just pick and use.

We named three of them "Bandit", "Bandito" and "Bandita" because they steal our kitty food! Little bandits! Well, the other night it was just beautiful out! Warm and clear and the river looked beautiful with the moon shining down. So, I was winding down and enjoying the peace and quiet late at night. Well, all of a sudden, I hear this growl coming from below the deck. Apparently, I stayed outside too late and Bandit was letting me know that I was keeping him from his dinner!<br /><br /><a href="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.158602849.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 430px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 541px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.158602849.jpg" /></a> I thought this was so cute! I found him on etsy. Handmade by "BedBuggs" and his name is "Bandit"! Isn't he so cute?<br />Here is a link to him:<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/51584296/bandit-the-raccoon-plush-pillow-wool">http://www.etsy.com/listing/51584296/bandit-the-raccoon-plush-pillow-wool</a>Sweetie-Scrapshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15854718084189229179noreply@blogger.com4
