One of these days...

I'll finish a project.

I even stopped by SueDee's Quilting and Knitting Shop to pick up the white I need to finish my single girl.  REALLY aiming to finish that up by Friday.  There wasn't any so this time I said okay, special order it.  Let's just get this done. Right?

In the meantime, I started this new project with scraps and I'm really liking it.

More to come on this...

Bloggers Quilt Festival: Spring 2011 {The Color Wheel Quilt}

Amy at Amy's Creative Side is hosting a Blogger's Quilt Festival and you really ought to head over there and see all the beauty on display.

I decided to show off (again) my Color Wheel Quilt.

I love this quilt because it was the first quilt I really tried that when I started it, I wasn't sure I would know how to finish it.

I'm not all that skilled at following patterns and those curves freaked me out.

But I pushed through all that and did it.  And it really gave me confidence to push myself and try things I didn't think I could do.

It hangs in our playroom where we spend most of our days.

I love this quilt.

Finished It Up Friday {#5}

Good morning!  With blogger down I wasn't sure if we were going to be doing a Finished It Up Friday today but just as we were heading out to the park, lo and behold, its up.

So while the chickens play in their room I'll post that I have yet again, not finished anything this week but I have started a NEW project which makes sense because I don't have enough already unfinished projects to work on. right?

Anyhoos, Thanks for those who linked up last week.  Its so fun to see what people are finishing up!

Here a little look at what we had last week!

A little something for the babe

A while back I made a bunch of numbered onsies to take Asher's picture in each month.  For the last two weeks I've been going crazy because I couldn't find the 10 month onsie and Asher's 10th month was quickly passing us by. 

Then I was going through a drawer in the crafting abyss over here and found the little baggie of my numbers 10-18 months that I never finished.  Makes sense now why I couldn't find it.  I never made it.

So I quickly grabbed one of the 372 white onsies on Asher's changing table and sewed the 10 on lickity split.

Then we had the photo shoot.

Can anyone believe this kid is already 10 (and a 3/4) months old now??  He's such a little joy and I love that he's getting his toddler personality now.  It just gets more fun!

Oh and one more shout out to our friend  

LINDA CROSBY 

who was our winner for the Marimekko fabric. 

I haven't heard from you and I'd love to get your prize to you. 

If we can't connect I think we'll pick another name to make sure someone gets to enjoy this delicious fabric.

A good time to make sure everyone's profile has their email on it.  No-reply bloggers make it tricky to deliver prizes.

Finished It Up Friday {#4}

Good Morning!

I must confess that I have nothing  crafty or quilty finished myself this week.  

Its been Potty Training Boot Camp here in 

Casa de Taff and that's really left no time (or energy) to do much else.

I wish the potty training could be Finished up for Friday but alas, it would appear that my guy isn't one of those potty train in one day kind of kids. 

But with a face this cute who could be frustrated 

(me, about 2:30 Tuesday afternoon but whatever....Its going better....)

Anyhoos...

Time for a little show off of the lovely projects shared last week!

And for anyone interested, 

Edith over at Edeenut Creates emailed me to inform me that Crate and Barrel now carries Marimekko products.

They don't carry the fabric as of right now but I'm thinking we start a write in campaign and who knows?  

Who's with me?

Playing With Blocks {1}

This weekend Carver and I had some coloring time and in my doodling I formulated these blocks.

Then Sunday I thought it might be nice to sit at my machine and try some out.

I call them Nuts and Bolts.

Now what to do with them...........

Thanks to all who entered my giveaway!  I can't wait to see what our winner makes with it.  Stay tuned, I'll post tomorrow morning after it officially closes:)

Two more hours......
