Okay so it technically isn’t Friday anymore in this part of the world, but close enough. :)
A little work in progress that I started today…
These fabrics make me think of the beach & summertime and will hopefully be a tote bag soon :)
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Okay so I am still really behind on emails (and I discovered one in my inbox today that is from over a month ago!), but our living room is actually starting to look like a living room. Since the moving company came yesterday to pick up all the empty boxes we had stacked in our living room, I spent a lot of my day today cleaning & rearranging the living room. I think I will definitely share some photos of what it looks like when it is all done, but there is still a little ways to go. Since there is nothing else that exciting going on, I thought I would just share some recent photos that I took at the botanical gardens.
I experimented a little with that photo & added a texture to it… I think I like it, although it is a bit different.
(Click on any photo to see it slightly larger…)
And just because, a photo of Pounce…
And one of Axel (he loves this basket, although he is a bit big for it!)…
I finally finished a little something that has been sitting on my works in progress pile for oh about four months. My first quilt…
Even the cats are impressed that I actually got around to finishing it:)
I do have to admit that I sort of cheated on this, because it doesn’t have any binding around the edges. I really wanted to finish it though and I figured binding the quilt would probably take me another four months, so I just went ahead and top-stitched the edges. I am glad though that I waited those four months to finish it, since the quilting went so much smoother on my new machine than it would have on my old one! :)
The plan is to use this quilt in our living room and so I backed it in a nice soft flannel so it is extra nice for cuddling up on the couch to read a good book. Hopefully it won’t take me another four months to make some matching throw pillows & curtains for the living room ;) Although trying to figure out the math for making a log cabin pillow might take me that long! :) (Unless anyone knows of a really good tutorial for a 20×20 inch sized throw pillow in a log cabin pattern?)
Edited to include: I am really behind on emails right now, so if you have left a comment lately thank you! I am hoping to catch up soon :)
