Hi there. Times' flyin by already. Went to the gym four or five times this week. Lost three pounds. Quickly got over the fact that I was workin out with pudgy grandma's 'cause I realized...I resemble that remark ;-) Speakin of pudgy. Check out this pic of Mia I snapped last night. Seriously, she's the only cat I've ever seen who still looks bulky when soaking wet. It's rather odd how often she can be found in this very position. Paws UP!
I bought a cutter quilt (a quilt no longer worthy of bein on a bed--just good for cuttin up) recently. At first was kinda concerned about the low contrast of the pink and yellow. I bought it because when you look closely (which you have to do due to the low contrast) it's amazing the small and precise pieces that are in it. Really good work. I came up with two different ideas for it this weekend. Here's a cute lil tag for a new baby (showing two sides of the same tag)
The pic of the baby is on fabric, too (just in case you can't tell). Some recently acquired vintage trim across the bottom. Not sure yet if I can afford to do these wholesale. Will go show Larissa at The Nesting Place tomorrow along with these:
this pic shows both sides of one heart. It's probably 10 inches across. Immediately got the idea when I saw the cover of the latest Mary Engelbreit mag. Which, by the way, is currently and has been for a while my very favoritest magazine. Inspiration, decorating, crafting. It's got it all goin; baby. And just keeps getting better and better! So yeah; Larissa asked me to make stuff for valentine's day and a half dozen of these fabric hearts is all I'm coming up with. Will be gone all next week to go work with my mom on some chores around her house (Hi Mom! See you soon!) so more'n likely this is ALL I'll be comin up with for V-day. It's an over-rated holiday anyway, right?
I could make hearts and tags to choke a horse and STILL have a bunch of this quilt left so I think I'll also parcel some squares into a...oh crap...I can't remember the name of the style of quilt where you use flannel and snip snip snip the exposed seams...see the pic here and you'll know what I mean.
Our boy just got here so I best get goin'...he spends the nights that his mom has to go to work at 6am. This morning when he woke up and sat in papa's favorite side of the couch he casually said to us both, "If someone would like to make me a hot chocolate they could probably sit here by me." Oh My Word. The timing and the tone. Freakin' classic. He truly is his mother's child. MY child's child, come to think of it. ;-)
Have a great week!
i so wish i could get to the gym, or walk, or anything by way of exercise. but no. i am happy for you and your success. it doesn't take long to see results, as long as you try.
thanks for sharing all your darling creations.
