Random Pics (heavy)

Here's some pictures I took this morning. Just seems to be several photo ops when I have my camera handy.

 This is CJ. He is my new sewing buddy. He's laying on my cut pieces for my quilt.

 Totally loving this pic!!

 More snow this morning. This is an hours worth of snow fall.

See how it's fuzzy? That's snow falling still.

 Trying out my macro setting on my camera.

Even my 7 year old is crafty! She did this in art class at school. Lost a pom pom on the way home.

Does this purchase make me an automatic crafter? No clue what to do with these.

Elmer's glue is for valentine's day projects my kids will be doing.

I also purchased stuffing (obviously not pictured).

Hope everyone has a good Monday! Happy creating!

Dresden Pin Cushion

I tried my hand at two new things today. The first thing I did was try Dresden plates. If that's even the right term. LOL The second was a pin cushion. It was definitely an experience. Plus it was mini Dresden shapes. Much of it was done by hand since they were so small. Here's how it turned out...

 

I've been working on my quilt this weekend. I've only got 4 9 patch blocks done. It seems like such a slow go. Ugh! Hoping it'll go quicker though so I can get it done.

So go check it out! 

 

Until next time...sending creative dust your way!

Another Project Done!

Finally got the divider curtains done that I've been sitting on since September. I was so scared to cut into the fabric in fear of butchering it. The fabric is Cherish Nature by Deb Strain that I had bought a local quilt shop. I had no clue about fabric or designers or anything and just bought what I liked. It was the ONLY thing I liked in the shop. So I think I did pretty well. Here's the finished product hanging up. It's used to hide my laundry room.

 Below is a close up of the material.

I'm going to be making a couple tie backs with what little bit of the brown material I have left so that I can tie the curtains back when I'm doing laundry.  Off to go finish up the tie backs!

Have a great day!

Cracks Me Up!

Here's a photo I took on Monday of Princess #3 during nap time. It cracks me up every time I look at it.

I love this cat! He's crazy! See his paw? He's a "mitten kitten"  and has 8 claws on that one paw and 7 on the other. Princess #3 is wearing what's suppose to be a chef's hat.


Hoping to finish up some curtains today. Thought I had finished them Sunday, but I decided to put them up higher on the wall so I'm going to add another strip of fabric along the bottom. Pictures to come soon, but here's a preview of the fabric. It's Cherish Nature by Deb Strain for Moda. I bought it from a local quilt shop about 5 months ago and I'm just now getting around to doing something with it.

Have a great day!
