Days aren't long enough!

We are getting into the 70' and 80's this week...it's lovely out there. I was going to do some sewing, but wouldn't you know...the grands are coming, in fact, I think the whole family will be here this weekend...YAY...but...I will have to clean and re-arrange and I had started a tiny sorting project that is now full blown...if the rains stays away i will be taking every sewing and crafty thing out of my house and putting it in the back yard...then going through each and every box and trying to get this stuff down to HALF it's size...I know right. Will post pics when I get it all out there...tomorrow afternoon is the goal...kinda like CLEAN HOUSE style, stay pile, go pile, give pile!


I went to the lake for a few days...and I have been doing a little hiking and I have a pic I took that I cannot get out of my mind! I KNOW there is something to be 'made' with this thing (water-logged stump)...and I want to bring it home with me...I really do have a problem....maybe a Hoarder's appearance is in order.
Here's a pansy from Kim's flowers ...


and Mike's and his 'new' car...hope this one lasts longer...


...and a fabric Fish Post Card I made for a swap...so fun!

My fabric will travel

I LOVE making, sending, and receiving fabric postcards! I went to get a few to send out this morning and found I only had 2 left...so my Saturday morning project will be making up some more fabric-travelling postcards.

I send them out for kid hellos, grown-up hellos, Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays...whateva!

I shrink paper-piecing patterns down to mini size, fussy cut motifs from fun fabric, embellish with ribbons, strip piece, applique, rubber stamp, draw...just about anything goes. I'll show you some new ones hopefully tomorrow.

I was left alone too long again...and I lightened my hair. When will I ever learn?

It's not bad, it's just not what I thought I was getting....it's definitely lighter (and I guess it could still fall OUT)!
