Checking this off the the list of gifts to make!

Procrastinating

here's what i made, when i should have been making christmas presents.


it's a twin size quilt for Miss P. who, by the way, still sleeps in a toddler bed. i know.

i just got the idea in my head and had to do it. right away.

now why can't i seem to do that with my housework!???


i made it using scraps of my favorite fabrics from the past few years. of course it's not finished yet, i need the batting to go on sale at joanne!

Riiibbit!

While visiting my sister, Heather, in Chicago last week she gave me this adorable collage that she made for Mister Maser. Isn't it cute?!!!

I knew I wanted it to be a frog, since my sister-in-law, Carrie, bought him a stuffed frog when he was born. I e-mailed a few images for inspiration to Heather and this is what she came up with. Adorable! Thanks, Heather!

Aprons for Charity

Well, not charity technically, but for the kids Fall Festival at school. I donated these to the "Country Kitchen" which had fresh baked goods, jam, garden produce, and such. I don't know if they just didn't have any interested parties, but by the end of the night they were still sitting on the table. Maybe I priced them too high. Who knows. Well, I talked to a couple interested ladies and got them SOLD!

Baby Shower Gift

I cut these out on Friday night and sewed them up Saturday morning before a baby shower. I've made them so many times, that by now they are a cinch to whip up, even last minute! I made up my own pattern and directions, but there are several great tutorials on the web.
