been really buzy the last few weeks sewing up storm.....here are a few projects that I have been working on - a few are still a work in progress
First up - "Notions" cute little wall hanging, started this for my sister for her Birthday...unfortunately this is a work in progress, her Birthday was in Feburary....sigh!! did not enjoy working on this project so not to sure it will be finished anytime soon, maybe in time for her birthday next year?? -
unfortunately I found this pattern a few years ago and I only have a printed copy of the pattern so not to sure who the creator is?? I will try to see if I can figure it out? well that was pretty easy to find? the pattern can be found here, you have to follow the pages posted for the links to each of the blocks

Last but not least is this adorable little Sunflower - found the tutorial for this little gem at Prim Mart
http://primmart.com/learningcenter.asp under the tutorial section.... I just love this little flower you can have so much fun with it....I have a few more projects planned using this idea OH! did I mention how good these little beauties smell....a grunge coffee bath is suggested with vanilla, but I don't drink coffee and don't like the smell of vanilla, so I changed it up a little, I used a tea bath with cinnamon....and OH! BABY!! do they ever smell good.....
Just wanted to say I am getting much better at saving the tutorial addresses so that I can share the creators, I use to be so bad at that, I would find something and make it weeks later and then forget where I found the pattern??? - I would like to thank all you wonderfully talented ladies for sharing your awesome ideas with us, and giving the rest of the opportunity to create right along with you.
I better scoot got lots of studing to do,
back to chat soon,
happy crafting,

I have noticed lately ruffles ruffles ruffles every where - in shirts, dresses, pillows and lamps...its a happy time for ruffles lovers every where. A few weeks ago I found this tired little lamp in a our local restore and snatched it up right away.... I could totally see this little blah shade with a few ruffles... a quick run to the fabric store I found some navy material....not to sure what it is?? it has the texture of silk but was way to inexpensive to be real silk...the fabric was a little stiff so I only did the top and bottom in a ruffle, the best part, I made it like a sleeve so I can slide it off when ever I want and just slide a on a new one. I think it turned out pretty good, never covered a lamp before?? got a little caught up in the whole ruffle thing and made a couple of new pillow covers as well.....JPG)
with Valentines being so close I have been making heart projects like crazy, it also seems I have been caught up in pink and brown moment. My latest project I just finished is a heart wall hanging, not to sure what I am going to do with it now that it is done lol, but it was fun making it....used the serger for all the piecing , added the hearts with my sewing machine, then hand quilted around the hearts and squares and the binding.
