Sniffle

Still sick.

Have a wonderful husband who after a long day of work comes home and makes me an entire pot of chicken (and cauliflower) soup to make me feel better. No matter how many "off" days we may have I know I have true love.

Yep true love is soup.

I think I have the flu

It sucks trust me, I will spare you all the yucky details.

Swaps Galore

I recently signed up to join in the fun of this swap I love all things fall so I knew this would be a great swap. My swap buddy was Karen Beth of Zazazu. I am glad to say that not only did I get to participate in a fun swap, I made a great online friend from it as well. Karen Beth and I seem to have a lot in common so I went out on the swap making things that I would be thrilled to receive.



I have recently become obsessed with patchwork scarves. I got to use some of my favorite vintage fabrics as well as my vintage inspired fabrics.




I saw these leaf coasters in a Japanese craft book. I thought they would be perfect for this theme of fall.



And finally, Karen Beth has been wanting to learn how to sew so I created a pincushion especially for her and her love of anything with an Eiffel Tower on it. *smile* Hopefully it is the push she needs.

Finally I sent along a super wonderful smelly candle from a local shop in town that is all soy based. The women makes everything in her shop so it was also handmade, just not by me!

Sick day

I had a little TOO much fun at a friends party last night. So not a lot of words, I cant think over the pounding of my head.

Sewing Room Friday

Here is just a snipit of my "sewing room". You dont want to see the whole area trust me, mostly because it is all over the house lately. I have a pile in the corner of my bedroom, a huge mess in the are that is SUPPOSE to be my craft area, and the dining room table, but if you have been reading my blog for awhile that shouldnt be a surprise.

I have never had a felt wall before. And I am stupid for it. Seriously it is like magic to me (I still am amazes that the fabric sticks up there with nothing, its genius!) right now it is on the wall right across from my bed so I wake up and look at it and go, yep I have a lot of work to do until my trunk show. I already feel the crunch because every weekend until then I have plans so I am trying to do small chunks each day. It is going ok but I am not going as fast as I would like. Plus I am starting to get bored with my fabric. I have a ton of fabric and I wish I loved it all equally but honestly there are some I just am so over using. I have learned though to buy smaller quantities unless it is fabric that I believe is earth shattering and then I will buy a full yard (ha!)

So is anyone else doing NaBloPoMo? I am new to this phenomina I wasnt posting much when this went on last year. It will be a struggle, and there may be just photo days, but it will be fun to see what happens.

Momma's Witch

Leila didnt go trick or treating, she is too young and I dont need to eat the candy. That didnt stop me from dressing her up though. We went from smiles, giggles, and peekaboo. To stirring up a witch's brew, sucking her thumb and screaming at me to read a book. It was an interesting afternoon. Leila has recently been going through a screaming phase. Most days I can handle it rather well, these last couple of days though I am about to jump from our second story window. I love her but my god the blood curdling lungs she has on her have to be from her father! (I am sure my parents would say otherwise)

Note, I did not make this outfit, it was a gift from a friend.
