My Space

A little bit ago Etsy updated their About pages. This is the page where you can tell your customers a little bit about yourself so they can see the creator behind the merchandise.  They encouraged pictures of yourself and of the area you work in. So here is the picture I going to put up.

I think it accurately shows my working area. A messy card table set up in my living room. I keep telling my husband that it is only temporary, but it is turning into a "semi temporary, really permanent" fixture. It is always multi tasking with at least 3 different projects. One of which usually isn't mine.  Naomi here is making something that usually involves making home-made confetti out of a couple sheets of paper.
What you don't see in this picture is all the fabric storage. I have at least 3 huge tubs full of fabric and other supplies that hangout in my laundry room or under my table next to the shoes.  One of these days I am going to figure out how to organize it. But I love fabric shopping, so right now I am ok with it!
This is what works for me! I think if we had enough space for me to have my own craft room to spread everything out I would not be able to concentrate because I wouldn't be in the middle of it all!

Super Quick Lamp Shade Updo (Tutorial)

 

This lamp shade updo literally cost me nothing and took 15 minutes to do! I think the longest thing was waiting for the glue gun to warm up!

I started with this awesome lamp a friend gave to me because it didn't sell at her yard sale.

I cut up 2 inch strips of muslin from my scrap pile and ran it through my machine to ruffle it up. (Go here for a tutorial on the super fast way to gather fabric.)

 Then I hot glued it to the top and bottom of the shade. This covered up a bunch of holes and stains that was on the shade. The rest of it was in pretty good condition, I just had to run a wet cloth over it.
 

 How adorable is that! It is super sassy but oh so simple. Just what I like!

Simple Tresures on Studio 5

Here is a link to Studio 5 where they talk about the Simple Treasures Boutique that starts tomorrow. Check out my quilts!

Olive Circles and Flowers

This quilt was so fun to make. I don't usually use theses kind of colors and patterns but it was so fun to break out of my comfort zone! I even went a step further and free motion quilted the flowers on the squares. Love it!

It is available in my Etsy Shop for purchase.

Quilt for Andre

This quilt I made especially for the Andre's Angels Foundation. For More information about Andre and the event they are having in October please visit their website.

Adorable

 These two were pretty fun to make. I usually find myself at the fabric store staring at the fabric wondering what I am going to do with this adorable stuff I find. Then I come home and find a pattern or make something up. It is like the fabric decides what it wants to do.

This one is going to be for an friend of mine who is about to have her first girl and she needs a dose of bright pink!

This one was two jelly rolls that found their way together. It was fun to come up with!
 

Even the baby loves it!
