Christmas 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.

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.

More new fabric on the way!

It's like a national holiday for me whenever I get the shipping notifications! 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!

I finally made a fabric banner/bunting - woo hoo!

Well! I finally made a reversible bunting/banner from fabric! I used Michael Miller Good Luck Tattoo - LOVE the turquoise and red thing right now - and Petals in the black colorway. I am making more with my other fabrics and will post photos if I ever get them done - LOL

My newest Michael Miller Fabric arrived today! Woo hoo!

Love it all! I will be listing it in my ebay store a.s.a.p.! Both are under "My Stores" in the right hand column - please visit!

Winged Heart Valentine Bib

LOVE LOVE LOVE this fabric!

So I made some sweet bibs for little Valentines!

New Michael Miller Fabric - Yay!

Oh my gosh! I haven't posted anything forever! My youngest son spent some time in the hospital, the holidays hit and I am sure someone fast-forwarded time! The older I get, the faster it goes! So, I got some new Michael Miller fabric in before Christmas - that's always a good thing! Jam Session and two of the Quatrefoils (black and quartz.) I have them listed in my ebay and etsy shops. So far, I've made nursing covers from them but have a ton more ideas! I LOVE the colors in the Jam Session fabric! Happy New Year to all!!!

Wow! This is amazing!

This is G O R G E O U S!! This is a pattern - a PDF pattern which is especially nice for impulse buyers like me. LOL
I found it on Etsy and asked the designer if I could feature it here on my blog. I was so happy she said "yes"!!!!! I have always wanted to do a bargello project and cannot wait to clear out my fabric and store inventory so I can try this one!
Please visit her etsy store - she is really nice! Here is a link to her store:

Fabric Fabric Fabric and more Fabric!

I've been scanning and scanning and listing fabric on ebay! Man, I have some really cute fabric. It's really hard to part with fabric. Even when you had a quilt shop full of it! And scrapbooking supplies & yarn...............not even going there. I'm a hoarder. I miss my store and especially my customers so much! But on the other hand, it's nice to be able to design and create for awhile!

Wedding Gift - Table Runner and stuff

My favorite niecebyproxy is getting married this weekend. So I threw together this table runner and some matching hot pads. I am kind of second guessing myself here - is this an okay gift? I just adore her, she is sooooo sweet. I wanted to make something for her but is this enough? hmmmm.

I cannot wait for sweet summertime!!

So, I had a GREAT Mother's Day weekend! All of my kids were here! They brought flowers, Starbucks, chocolate, and more! Did I raise them right or what? ;)

AND the sun was actually shining here in my little piece of the Pacific Northwest!
The down side: I looked over to see that the briars are thriving on rain/sun combo and will soon be taking over my property if I don't "manage" them - LOL managing briars/blackberry bushes........right.
The up side: Those same obnoxious briars are home to so many cute little baby bunnies in the spring AND provide TONS of huge, sweet blackberries in the summer! Even our puppy dogs will stop to eat blackberries on our walks!

So this is my fruit listing for the day on etsy and ebay - this fabric! You see, now it's raining but I am hanging on to the sunshine in my mind! You can see it here:
