coming up...

  • These babies in the etsy shop:

Anna over at Noodlehead decided to sell the pattern for these clutches and you KNOW I snapped one of those up quicker than you can say "wee little winslow".

  • I'm doing a quilt-a-long. Well, I'm already 2 weeks behind, but eh- procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday, right? It's Crazy Mom Quilt's QAL #5, which should end up looking like this:

I can't wait to get started. Yup, that's right- I STILL haven't started. It took me approximately 12 hours (and a "sleep on it") to decide on my fabric. I really liked this from Cloud 9 Fabrics- but since it's organic, it would have cost me a pretty penny to make the entire quilt. Plus I was sad that after all the chopping, that little birdy on the yellow striped background would have just gotten lost in the mix.

So I decided to go with Modern Meadow- I like how it's darker, more mature (look! no green and pink- go me!) and basically not like anything I've ever sewn with before. I think it will really pop with the white sashing, but I'm also considering a light grey maybe? Maybe I'm just talkin' crazy- we'll see when the fabric gets here!

I ordered the FQs this morning so until they get here, I'll be monogramming towels and bags for weddings, graduations and summer birthday presents. *sigh* Not nearly as fun as sewing.
