silly computer…


My wireless internet connection isn’t working that great this afternoon and I can’t switch to non-wireless because the switch on my computer is broken…. So you get to see a photo that is already on my flickr page and just a very short entry to tell everyone that all the wonderful post ideas I had are not going to happen today… Now I think I am going to go use Ben’s computer to write a few emails and read some blogs:)

a little bit of sewing…

I didn’t do much sewing today, just a little bit. Most of my day was spent cleaning and a bit of it reading blogs. I also wasted a bunch of time with my camera trying to take some photos of what I sewed today… The natural lighting in our house is terrible so awhile back I had made a lightbox, but I threw it out a few weeks ago because I hated how much photoshopping it required of pictures afterwards. Anyways….

I made two tissue pouch/keychain sets this afternoon….

Both are made out of the exact same fabric, so I didn’t bother photographing both sets. (I don’t even want to think of the headache that would have caused…) I am going to keep one set for myself, and the other set I already put in my etsy shop.

yoc2: pink + green & other stuff…

My blog apparently suffered from a bit of neglect last week and the week before… So I am going to try to post again once a day this week.

Yesterday, Ben and I went to a quilt show in a neighboring town… He was sweet enough to go with, since I really wanted to go and didn’t feel like going by myself. It definitely was inspiring to see all of those quilts and read a bit about all the work it took to make them! I can’t imagine hand-quilting something, I am definitely a bit short on patience:) Although I do want to make a quilt now even more than before (although I definitely plan on machine quilting it!).

(Picture is of only part of the quilt because the rows of quilts were too close together to get it all in. A wide angle lens would solve that… Although I sort of want a macro lens before a wide angle one:)

I also decided to join in on “A Year of Color 2” (for more info see link to flickr group). This weeks colors… pink + green

I have no idea what this flower is, but it looked fascinating. I wasn’t brave enough to touch it, but the texture looked fairly soft and fuzzy.

I am working on a couple of projects, but can’t share yet since it is part of a swap I am participating in. Hopefully tomorrow I will have some other crafting stuff that isn’t swap related to show:)
