Just listed in my shop. 
I made these with the primitive and shabby cottage feel in mind. They turned out even more beautiful than I hoped. A set of three quilted pillows to use as shelf sitters or whatnot.
The price is a bit steep for a couple reasons but number one, if they don't bring it I am fine keeping them for myself!
I need to make and list a few new designs as I haven't sat down and played in my jewelry stuff in ages. I didn't see the need since nothing was selling. I also have a lot of other non jewelry things I want to list but I am wondering if that would be "retail suicide?" I've read over and again to pick one thing to sell to make a name for yourself, and stick to that. Problem is that I have so many other interests and things to offer the world besides jewelry. lol
That's what my son Alex said.
I feel like I've wasted my time. I don't want to make another quilt all over again. :(
Tonight I rolled $13.00 in ECBs and got back $12.98 in ECBs. I only paid $2.55 cash for all 27 items!
I had some free time last night so I made these two little pillows. I believe they are called shelf sitters or bowl fillers in the "prim world." I coffee stained a strip of muslin to tie around them and did my stamping thang, yes thang on the tag. lol I think they are cute.
And Ryan, I didn't forget about ya. Here's what I did with your awesome quilted square. Just simply added some batting, backing and a double border. I am using it as a mouse pad! Love it.
You know where this is going, don't you? 
Yeah, yeah, I know it's spring but since quilting isn't my area of expertise I figured that if I messed up too badly that at least we would only have to see the thing once a year! lol
I'm real happy with how it turned out but I don't think I'll take on another project of this size. It was a LOT of work. I think I'll stick to wall banners and table runners.
DS Alex, A.K.A one who is waiting for me to give him a haircut.
This is a mix of a CVS trip and a WalMart trip combined.
Also, after two evenings my Christmas quilt is DONE! I intended to make it a table runner at first but then decided to use all the fabric blocks instead. It turned out lap blanket size. Perfect for relaxing on the sofa. I will post a picture if you promise not to give me a hard time about it being Christmas theme THIS time of year. But really, who has time to make a quilt at Christmastime, I ask you? lol
Look what I got in the mail today! Ten wonderful cupcake bath bombs, (or fizzies) from my friend Miranda's shop over at Etsy called My Other Princess. They look good enough to eat, don't they? And they smell yummy too. These are her new line of miniature cupcakes and they are just too sweet! No pun intended.
How awesome would these be for party favors? I'd rather get one of these instead of a real cupcake any day. Less fat, less cavity worries. Plus, you get to enjoy their beauty until you're ready to use them.
I'm a shower girl but once in a while it is nice to light a candle, pour yourself a glass of wine, and sit back in a warm tub of relaxation. They leave your skin silky smooth too! OK, so that sounded like an advertisement. I'm not getting any compensation for this. I just really love these and wanted to share how awesome they are. If you happen to waltz over and buy yourself one, well, that's a win/win for you and for Miranda. =) You won't be disappointed.
BEFORE: The picture above is the heart before washing. It was flat and the fabric on the edges was rough cut.
AFTER: This is what it looks like now post washing and drying. As you can see the edges are now soft and fluffy and the heart has puffy dimension between the stitching.
I absolutely love how it turned out and I've already got another project in the works.
I was up all night making this but it was so worth it! I couldn't decide if I wanted it to be a pillow or a wall hanging, and then it hit me, why can't it be both?
So I attached a button and hole on the back to help secure the pillow form inside ...
then I added the loops for when I want to use it as a wall hanging.
It's supposed to be what is called rag quilting. The edges of the squares will get really fluffy once I wash it but I couldn't wait to share the pictures. lol Just try to mentally picture them fluffy for now.
I wanted to show you what my friend Karen made for me. It is a bird feeder made out of all recycled and earth friendly materials. The base of the house is an old juice carton that she covered in peanut butter and rolled in bird seed. The roof and doorway is made of pine cone petals, moss for the grass and a pine cone "tree" in the yard. She then filled the inside with extra feed.
Other areas got a $4/1 coupon making them $1 each kit. That is still good if you use these because you can't even get the refills for the machine for $1!
