Back to our regular scheduled programing


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.

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.
