Gingham Matters...and deadlines..
Hello PEEPS.... it is Friday and there is much to celebrate in that alone. Although I must admit, Mondays thrill me more...Fridays tell me I only have a couple days to get a project done...MONDAY tells me I have all week...lol
Ok, above is a sneak peak to a project I am working on for the Quilted Cotton blog hop....And as I was looking at my calendar of events, I also have another project I must whip up for the 18th....next week... I have 5 days to do another project for the Design Team at RBD....
I bet you can guess it will have something to do with GINGHAM! Goodness me I have a few things that MUST BE DONE! How did this all HAPPEN?
Take for instance....I have a Tutorial of all the steps to do GINGHAM walls that I have 10 days to complete....yep....Will I get it done.. YOU bet...sleep is so overrated lol
This very large oversized ? is in my sewing studio.. It used to be silver...I never liked it in Silver... But BLACK...... welllll I LOVE IT.... It is amazing what a CAN Of PAINT can do....

And speaking of PAINT. I purchased a couple more cans and I had this oversize HALF cup that was in copper...never liked it in COPPER, so I painted it black too...as you enter my sewing studio...it is placed on the cabinet above my PRESSING station.. Totally cool...!
and as if I don't have enough excitement...I have some NEW MARTELLI tools.. this ERGOCUTTER is a slice of heaven....the blades will last for over a year.. not a week, month...I said YEAR and possibly YEARS.. will be doing a feature on this as well as these amazing templates.. OMG wait till you see what you can do with these... will they be gingham????? I think it is a possibility..
I am telling you... "WE ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS OUR TOOLS" Will this mean I will be a better quilter?

And speaking of Tools...ok, maybe not tools, but they go on tools...( scissors) I made 25 more...here is a sampling...I have sold a couple hundred fobs already... and these all sold yesterday.. I had a few very large orders for guilds....they are using them for raising funds ... all of the proceeds goes towards purchasing more sewing machines for ladies in need.... It is a good thing...
I have a few packages of beads and notions that arrived just yesterday that haven't even been opened yet...
Perhaps I will take a few moments out to my garden....
and speaking of GOOD THINGS...our garden with all it's white BLOOM is sooo inviting...although some of the petals are now falling to the ground looking like snow..the next phase of blooms will be popping up real soon.. In between all of the Viburnums, we have Peonies....alll white of course...
And somewhere in this weekend, I will EAT, SLEEP and Love my HUSBAND... wink..
CREATE some MEMORIES....
YOU so Matter!
