Almost didn't make it!

I've been browsing blogs and looking at all these amazing photos when I realized I haven't done my blog post, yet! YIPES!

Haven't touched my sewing machine today. First I still have to cut that stinkin' binding before anything, so that might take a few days to gather up courage, haha. I've finished my quilt from the 3-in-1 and it's gorgeous. It's nice and big, and I'm glad it's big enough to cover. Definitely my largest quilt to date, but that's not saying much. Soon I'll have a bigger one if I can gather the courage to start the dang thing, haha! I'm planning on taking Natalia's Gobble Gobble quilt and changing it from a fall to a Christmas quilt with Kate Spain's 12 Days of Christmas! I've had the fabric for a while, but just haven't really done anything with it yet. It feels like I have so many more things to do before I get to it, unfortunately.

I'm so silly

I've been messing this whole thing up! Haha. I've tried to mix NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo. Both of which are held in November, but are two separate things, haha. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

I've been listening to quite a few awesome artists lately. Mumford and Sons, Stellar Kart, Firelight, Counting Crows, Dropkick Murphys, Relient K, and just whatever pops up next on my music lists :)

I've finished straight quilting April's baby quilt this morning, but I just can't seem to get myself to cut out the binding for it. This is gonna be a mess if I say so myself, haha. Not bad, I just can't seem to pull myself to cut hardly anything. Gah!

Summer In The City

Hello! Welcome to day 2 of my daily blogging.

While I'm here, I may as well get a chance to win a giveaway myself! Little Miss Shabby is hosting a giveaway of some fabric from the gorgeous Summer In The City line here!

Not only is she doing this fab giveaway, but she as amazing pictures to show her quilting! Anytime I want to just look around and see some cute stuff, she's one of the blogs I run to. Another is Heather from {House} of A La Mode. Gorgeous, let me tell you! She also has a very peppy personality and an awesome playlist to listen to while you're checking out her blog :)

Here ya go guys!

NaNoBloMo Late Start

I know it's been for-evar since I've blogged, but I guess I'm too lazy to blog! I don't have any followers, so I guess it doesn't matter much if I blog or not. I've finished a few quilts and pillows, started a few quilts that are still a WIP, and done some overall stitchery and embroidery.

Maybe I'll get some pictures up finally of stuff to flickr, hm?

Anyways, I'll see ya tomorrow!

Gah

So I said I'd take pictures a long time ago. I did take pictures, but I realized yesterday I never got to posting them. Aren't I fantastic?

Haha, either way, I figured instead of loading them to my blog I could create a Flickr account! Smart idea, right? Yeah, no. I can't figure out how to make the darn thing work! So what I CAN do is give you a link :) Shows my new fabrics, my quilting endeavors (Including two finished quilts!)

If anyone can help me figure out Flickr, it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Does this work by any chance?

Workin'

I finished quilting Tabby's quilt this morning around 1! Finally, getting some progress done on the trio! I guess it helps that I have a deadline of the 14th, eh? At least they're all pieced and are just waiting on some basting/quilting and some binding :)

I've come across some awesome stuff on the web lately. cute zippered pouches, Christmas stockings, diaper bags, and many more!

I'm thinking about putting some music on here. I'm not sure everyone would agree with my type of music, though. I love some Fireflight, Pillar, Skillet, and more :)

Summertime Blues

So does anyone else get the summertime blues? It's over 90 degrees outside, humid (or raining now) and I just can't seem to get the urge to really do anything. Once I get home from work - no matter how hard or easy the day really was - I'm exhausted and just don't feel like moving, really. I've done a few things, but it's been small things done over a period of time. I got the border strips on two of the three quilt tops. That's awesome considering the third one doesn't need any borders :) I have my cathedral windows pillow top on hold because I just can't get up enough energy to really tackle it. I have the 'base' of the pillow cut and sewn together, but can't find the will to cut out the 'windows'. I cut a few out yesterday, but I still have quite a few to tackle.

Once it hits into September everything will be back to normal, and I just can't wait for this intense heat to disappear!
