hi everyone, I'm so excited that I have so many comments on the apron giveaway, but not so many that you won't have a good chance! I'm already checking out some fabric for another giveaway, so keep checking back. thank you to my followers for signing up, how cool is that to have followers?!

I was visiting Tulsi's site and she posted about a huge giveaway on this site: http://www.ginnysquilts.blogspot.com

fun projects and a giveaway





I've been making some eggs (from retro mama) and a couple of birds (from spool) just having way too much fun checking out blogs. I saw the birds on Yarni Gras! blog (with link to spool) and just had to try it. the eggs are not very egg shaped, but I think I figured out why. I'm going to try some more this weekend.

on to the give away..... I have 3 tea towel aprons, the orange one has coffee fabric, the lime green (middle one) has teacups and the blue one has tea pots. leave me a comment on which one you would like. since I don't have a lot of "followers", you should have a good chance at winning! I'll leave it open till Monday march 30th. I will announce the winner on Tuesday the 31st...NOT on April 1st!!! this is my first give away...I'm going to have some "stash busting" giveaways soon, I need some space!

mini quilt

a mini sock monkey quilt. I made this for a friend of mine that LOVES sock monkies. I think she loves it. I did... had to get a pic before she took off with it LOL.

pay it forward...look what came in the mail today!

thank you Marcel!!! I received this cute, cute!!! owl today. it couldn't have come at a better time. now I have to come up with a name for her, unless she already has one???

thanks again, she is beautiful

cool boxes


got these boxes at the swap meet, thought they might make some cool sewing kits. not sure, but that's my first idea. i want to sand them down and stain them with the ikea stain - green and blue so far. I might also decopauge since I have 4 to play with. not sure what they were used for, but looks like som kind of medical testing. only 2 boxes actually have writing the other two are blank (just numbered lines). we're getting the stain this weekend, so i'm going to try it on one.
