I am so happy that spell check is back! I've been having to dumb down my vocabulary while writing (not by much mind you) because I am not confident in my spelling and going and getting the dictionary seems like so much work.
I told myself no blogging, reading or writing until I finished sewing something. I start something, get distracted, the phone, laundry, computer, passing butterfly, whatever. Then some new fabric calls to me and I am left with unfinished work. I got some new stuff in the mail and I am not letting it distract me!
When I do anyting artsy fartsy it usually has a cartoonish edge. It drove the instructor in this drawing class i went to nuts, Oh well. So I am drawn to colorful, fun, sometimes kid related in the fabrics I choose. I had to have the frogs! And the Heather Ross fabrics are so charming and sweet and sooooo soft. You my darlings will have to wait.
I had been looking for heather Ross fabric locally for quite some time, no luck, found these at plumtickledfabrics.etsy.com/ She's nice and helpful for someone new to buying online and the prices even including shipping are comparable to my local quilt shops.
So today I actually finished a bag for the Teacher Conference. See it's all teachery.
See what I mean about my vocabulary.
and teachery tissue packs
on the tissue pack rack!
We were hit with about 6 more inches of snow, so I'm off a' shovelin.
Spell check isn't happy to be back here.

Great job on all your goodies (we do love that fabric too!!) Thank you so much for your sweet words to help make kari's fourtieth fun and fabulous!

I love seeing all your artsy fartsy ideas and fabrics! You hvae such a sense of style. And I wouldn't so much call it 'cartooney', but more 'colorful folk art' style.
So, have you considered any ideas on making me a llama bag yet?
Think South American Whimsical.
Thank you ladies.
Twinville-What a way better way to describe my style, thanks so much. And yes the llama bag is in the thought bank. I have my show in 2 weeks (i'm trying not to freak) and a comission bag in the works that I HAVE to finish, then I'm looking forward to playing (with some fun fuzzy yarn). So many bags, so little time.
