Cheese

We had another super lazy weekend. I am not complaining. Once 4th of July is here we are off running for the next month between weddings, birthdays and other various get-togethers. I am exhausted already thinking about it!

Leila has reach another milestone. She now says "cheese" when I bring out the camera and this is the goofy smile I get now.
Happy Monday friends!

Remember me complaining I was tired? Yep I am still tired but I at least kicked myself in the butt to get these fat quarters out to participate in the Vintage Sheet Swap. Just like normal I mailed them just under the wire. What can I say I like to live my life on the edge!


So I have complained alot lately. But I am happy to report if you put things into the universe they may come back to you! Take for example my wishing to have a Flickr Pro account. Thanks to my good friend Rose I have now had one gifted to me. Prepare everyone for "interesting" photos this next year.

Flickr Rocks!

Have you used Flickr's editing tools? Am I the last on the boat? I love the cross process effect. Oh and rounded corners. Yep I am addicted! This past weekend I dropped off these 6 purses for a local store. I am really loving this pattern design. Thanks to the encouragement of Michelle & Misha I now have a cute new small purse design. This design also has me wanting to use vintage fabrics again in the best of every way. I have a feeling I am going to make a whole lot of these for the summer. Oh and the pictures, the lighting was crap but they look super funky now thanks to my new best friend cross process editing tool on flickr. Seriously if you havent tried it yet you MUST. Now I just have to justify to Ken why I NEED a pro account so I can play with some of the other tools.

It never fails. The minute I have a little time I start to fill it up innocently with swaps and before you know it BAM I have one too many swaps on my hands, various projects for friends and family, gifts to make, oh and a large wholesale order to get done. I am not complaining because I put myself in the situation every time and have yet to learn my lesson.


This is the starting inspiration for the great Doll Quilt Swap. This time around is a slight challenge for me, the request from my partner is for a more modern quilt. Hmph I have never done a modern quilt. No worries thank goodness for the library I got Denyse Schmidt Quilts and got ready for a fun challenge.

I have it narrowed down to two color patterns. The more I look at the one with orange the more I drawn to it. Do you have a favorite? I wanted a bright, yay it is summer feeling to the quilt. If this turns out as cool as I am hoping I may have to make another one for myself.

This swap I have until the end of the summer, but I know me and if I don’t start it now I will be sewing like a mad women the night before and it wont be my best work. Plus I need to get the book back to the library!
