Pretty Quilt.... mine, not yours!

Speaking of cuteness check out the youngest in his latest fave hobby fridge raiding. He opens the fridge hoards our home grown grapes. We have duct tape on the side but some one forgot to 'retape'.


Ok so I was perusing Sandi Henderson's blog (as usual) and she now has a picture of her dress pattern Clarie. LOVE IT! Must say I will be making these dresses for my boutique. Can I really wait until I order the pattern??? I guess that I have to keep waiting and wishing for time to speed up... just for a few weeks any way. I don't want to wish away my kiddos days of cuteness. SO I saw that there was a FREE QUILT being given away for posting to this awesome blog Old Red Barn Co. and had to enter. It is a beautiful quilt. It is made out of Gingerblossom fabric! LOVE IT.

I post this here only because I get extra entries for posting here. But I am very selfish . . . I do not want you enter to win but I do want you to head to her store and blog. Please check out her stuff. She has such a fun store. Just don't enter (wink wink jk) I want a better chance to win and the more of you crazies like me that enter the smaller my chance is of winning. There are already well as of this post 369 posted comments. And after browsing through them most are even posting and linking and possibly videoing. Is that a word? Humm my friends who are language nuts are sure to correct me on that one.

Again please visit her site without entering for my quilt. Again it is going to be mine Muhahahaha (enter evil malicious laughter here) and if you read her post I can assure you that I would definitely not use the quilt in a cow barn. I may not even let Scott my sweet hubby touch it if I won. The kids.... definitely not. I will have to post pictures of their 'favorite' mama quilt.... the poor thing is now inside out and torn horribly. I am not sure how to begin to fix it.

Visit the Old Red Barn Co. today :) There should be a pic and a link but they are for some reason not copying over correctly. Will try again tomorrow.

So I am currently in the process of starting my business and website. I am a teeny bit stressed out about trying to get the house organized so I can create. There are so many piles of crafty things that I can't seem to figure out where to start. I keep telling myself that it will get done while I sleep when the elves come out but alas the piles are still there.

I was so happy that I cried when I saw the design for my web site. My awesome hubby is a wonderful graphic designer and front end web designer. The colors are what I imagined and the layout is what my site will need. I am so excited! I am going to have a section on photography, mommy helps, scrapbooking and a SHOPPE! I am actually going to start selling some of the hand crafted items that I make and possibly family and friends. There is so much to get done .... the name is already trademarked so I am in the process of figuring out if I am able to get the trademark somehow. Not sure if I can even do that. Fingers crossed.

Alright. I am obsessed with fabric at the moment! I absolutely love it to the point that I have been stalking some designers sites and blogs. I am so inspired by Sandi Henderson fabrics! Her blog is so amazing and I must say her Ginger Blossom and Farmers Market fabric is to die for!

This is the whole line.

This is the fall collection.
The summer collection.


And finally the Spring collection.



So yummy aren't they! If you haven't seen it here is the link to her blog. She has really cute clothing patterns also. I may just have to purchase the ruffle pants they are just too cute. Michael Miller Design is also a fave fabric designer at the moment. They have just gotten with a few more of my favorite ladies to start carrying their fabric lines. I am so excited to see what they are going to come out with. I will keep you posted on when their stuff is up for viewing.

Keep your fingers crossed on the trade name fun too. Hopefully my site will be up an running by the end of July. Again fingers crossed... toes and eyes for extra luck.
