Felt Flowers

I am SO in love with the flower bouquets over at Princess Lasertron.

I'm pretty sure I could never afford to have her make them even though I would love that more than anything. So, I decided I would try my hand at doing it myself. This of course meant purchasing a Sizzix machine because I have no patience for cutting out flower shapes and I know that I would never be able to get them to be as perfect as I would want them. I know how to hand sew, even if it takes me a very long time, so I know that I could do this with practice.

And here are my practice flowers from last night


I think that I need LOTS of practice but I am so in love with the daisy looking ones. My favorite one is the purple and white with teal stitching and button! And the one just to the right of it. I'm so excited about this.

Finished, sort of

Trip Around The World Quilt top:

Center:

Overall I am tickled pink to be finished with this part of the top. Now I have to pick some fabric for the borders and find a king sized sheet that I love as much as I love the front for the back. I am so pleased that this part is done.

I'll do the borders next week. Then next Saturday it takes a trip to Montana where it will be quilted over the summer.

YAY!!!!!

A resolution gone ary

So, as part of my New Year's Resolutions I was going to update here more often. I have done crafty things since October but I usually just forget to photograph and blog about them.

So, we'll do a little looking forward.

I can't wait to get my hands on this pattern. Soon hopefully! They should be shipping to stores in the next few weeks and hopefully someone from here locally is ordering them, otherwise I'll have to order it as a kit off of her website which wouldn't be so bad!
