ORGANIZATION!

I love the latest post from Sew Fantastic. She shows you a wonderful way to use Comic book boards to create little bolts for your fabric! I just went to Amazon and bought 100 boards for 14.00. They will be here Tuesday! I can't wait to reorganize my fabric stash, it is way over due. I will post pictures once it is done.

Projects

I am currently working on several projects:

• Sock Monkey costume for Coby
• St. Paul flag/banner for the school
• a very intense Christmas gift for my sister

All of these have to be done by the end of October. I will post pictures this weekend of the costume and the banner. You'll have to wait till December for the gift.

I have updated my favorite blogs list-- BUT BEWARE! If you start looking at these sites you are going to want to make EVERYTHING on them!!!!

I want to make one!

I want to make a selvage spider web quilt like the one http://www.jaybirdquilts.com
shows in her blog. BUT- I dont have any selvages. I always cut them right on the edge- I never leave any fabric. Oh Well- I guess I will start now.

I WON!!

So Cool! I just won the giveaway on The Quilted Fish. I will get a fat quarter bundle. Now I need to plan something for it.

Starting to Add Favorites

I have started to add favorite blogs and websites. These bloggers are very talented and creative. I am also going to link to some of my favorite tutorials. Hope you enjoy.

Maybe I will keep up this one.

So I did not keep up with postings of the boys. I kinda figured that would happen. They grow so fast, I found myself always needing to post more stuff. It takes a long time to post pictures and such on these blogs-- it is faster to post to facebook. But, I decided that this would be a great spot for my sewing hoopla. I have been keeping up with and reading several other craft/sewing blogs, and they are really interesting and full of great stuff. I hope mine can be as inspirational- or maybe I can just link and comment on some of there awesome ideas.

For example: The Quilted Fish is having an awesome give away. All you have to do is comment on her blog.
