Mike turns 30!

and I finally cut into the Anna Maria Horner fabric that's been laying in my sewing room for a month!

I made this from her Square Dance fabric, and instructions from her blog. It didn't too long (always twice as long as I think it's going to take). But, I love how it turned out! It's still 95 degrees here, so I think there is some life left in it, before fall. Then i'm thinking it would be cute with tights and boots!

We had a wonderful day with friends and family! Wow - 30!

Pretty spring fabric! - Glam Garden

How have I never heard of this so so pretty line of fabric?! I stumbled upon it from this True Up blog post this morning. Love True Up BTW! It's a guest post/giveaway from Josephine Kimberling. So then I checked out her collection, Glam Garden and her Twitter page, Facebook page, blog, etc! Her fabrics are so beautiful, and just what I was looking for as insiration for Melody's 1st birthday theme. I knew I wanted a colorful spingy flowery thing, and now I have somethin gto make her a dress from! I heart fabric designers!

Heal arm....I want to sew!

I am so excited about this line of fabric from Jessica Levitt! I found it on the Hawthorn Threads website, and ordered a few yards! It's my first time ordering fabric online, so we'll see how that goes. I ordered it yesterday and already got a confirmation email that it has shipped, so i'll probably get it tomorrow! It may be a few more days until I can make any cuts though, but my arm is getting better. I have a few ideas on what I want to do with it, and may even make myself something for the spring. Stay tuned!

Fab fabs!

Went to the fabric store yesterday and purchased some super cute Amy Butler and Heather Bailey fabrics. I absolutely love browsing great fabrics and picking out color combos. There is something really calming about it. And of course the chitter chatter of all the quilting ladies in the store is just too cute. Then to the cutting counter, and I have to make a decision of how much to cut of each - not so fun. I hope someday to just have bolts of fabric in my sewing room to choose from!

Now I need to get my butt sewing!
