The Amy Butler scrap drawer strikes again, or, a quilt with feet

This is destined for a friend's pink nursery...4th girl!
Yummy pink linen on the back.

I'm pretty sure I won't be able to resist making more of these, some may even make it to the shop...

between the loads of laundry

Piles of linen destined for greatness...(if shower curtains can truly be qualified as great destinies)
some Amy Butler stash love...(now WHAT to put on the back? These lines are all discontinued so I think my favorite options are: more Kona snow OR light pink linen, any one care to weigh in?)

And a couple of lovelies for the shop.

scooters and trains and cars, oh my!


So I hate to brag but...my cousin is a bit of a celebrity. A fabric selling superstar if you will. So much so that I almost don't dare mention her name in connection with mine. Oh, alright, it's Kim from Poppyseed Fabrics. And she is sponsoring one amazing giveaway over at Tatertots and Jello. Go on, check it out, just keep your hands off my fabric bundle. (jk, jk, may the best fabric nut win!!)

flower power

Anybody notice what's wrong with this picture? (And I'm not asking you to point out my dirty floor...)
Well I was about 2 inches short on pink ric rac. Grrrr.

A little forced creativity and, voila!

something blue

I barely sew any more. I just haven't really been feeling the vibe, but it's kind of nice to get the occasional etsy order to make me sit down and sew something. I always enjoy it immensely.

How's about cookin' something up with me?

Hotpads for....Jessi...

Mama...or me? Since I haven't actually given her her mother's day gift yet...

And Auntie E...

Who also got a matching apron (for letting us use her house for a week).

a little more decor

I must have made this a month ago or more but just getting around to the pictures...I saw this somewhere or other and thought (as I often think) "I could make that."

Except usually I can't, or don't, but this time I could, and did! Just rolled up little pieces of wool felt and hot glued them onto this wreath I have had forever. It looks cute in baby girl's room, although it really underscores the need for an extreme room makeover.
