No this is not Post Wedding Blues...

So in less than a week I have come to realize I have a lack of "things" to do. I spent weeks running around, finishing up wedding projects, painting a guest room (and even decorating it), baking a monstous cake...and now I technically have NOTHING.

I have enjoyed my quiet in the house in the morning and made myself a 6 month get out of debt plan, which is totally realistic [Debt is not that bad - I just want to be able to afford a new car in August].
I also researched dressmaking classes, and was politely shot down by a local woman who teaches who said that I was beyond beginner. (hello! But I want to learn and I was going to pay you.)

So I have decided to start making christmas presents. But first an awesome Christmas Stocking to hang at work [Over the month we are stuffing stockings this year in our work area].

A little something for me...

So my dear friend Jess is trying to get me to venture out and show some stuff that I having been making.

Today I decided to make something small for myself - so I would stop wanting to keep everything I make.

A small clutch to parade tonight when I meet up with all my friends :)

Re-used Fabric AND A new Room!

Getting back in to the swing of things...and getting settled into a new room.
We decided to switch the small and medium size room, so I could have more room to play. I can actually roll around all over the room now and watch TV...weeeeeeeeeeeee

A dress bought from a consignment shop

oh and a new toy on the way - Stepping up to an embroidery machine

So cute...I want to use it but I am not sure if I will sell it yet...

ISLA'S HELLO KITTY QUILT

Monday, August 30, 2010

Baby Blanket Season

the kello kitty pink madness quilt is near completion....

okay so nothing has been made in several months, and now i have 4 (yes 4!!!) baby quilts to be made. I am near completion on Isla's (my-coworker Janet's new arrival). And there is my sister Jessica, whose blanket I started first and ripped apart.

Both of these started with guidance (a pattern) and have now become a free-hand-see-if-it-fits-and-will-work quilts.

a peak at the crazy-owl quilt, for my nephew Jaxon...
