Goals

It is the beginning of the year so it is time for some new goals. I sat down and planning out some business goals and some weekly goals so that I can get ready for the next boutique.

 Last week's goal was to make 3 new quilts. Here is what I came up with.

Teal Plaid

 

Lime and Black Stripe

 

 

 Purples

 

Which one is your favorite?
These will be available in my shop this week. Keep an eye out for them!

A blanket for Baby Lucero

This a cute little baby quilt for the soon to be baby girl Lucero!
 

They love greens, blues, and browns for their baby girl. Of course there has to be a little bit of pink! I love the way this fabric brings all of that together.

The Big Gift

 This quilt was my father-in-law's present for Christmas this year. I won't go through my thought process that got me to the conclusion that I needed to make a queen size quilt in a three week period, but needless to say, when I tried to explain it my brother-in-law he was laughing.

I had my husband pick out the fabrics. I think the longest part was developing the pattern.

It is a queen size. Machine quilted in navy blue with a solid navy blue fabric on the back.

I really think they like it!

Lamp Shade Re-Re-Do

 I am learning from my mistakes and it turns out that old lamp shades are really fragile. This is what happens when they get smashed!

So we had to do a little makeover. First I found a fun burlap shade at Shopko but it wouldn't match the lamp. So I had to do a little make over.

Yea for spray paint. It was super simple and it only took a few hours for a couple of  coats.

The whole project cost me $20!

Custom Quilting

I am available for custom quilting. This lady who made this quilt put the top together and I did the quilting and binding for her. It turned out so cute!

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!
