A little bit homesick, in a good way

So still no sewing for me, but I have been dreaming of sewing things. I've been without a sewing machine since early Feb, and will be through May. I've been traveling the world, collecting lots of goodies (mostly fabric!) along the way. Plus the fall I was so busy with my new baby daughter, then with all the packing and wrapping up my life to be gone for a while. I'm so jealous to look at everyone's blogs and see all the neat things they are making.

New Fabric studio

I just heard of this new fabric studio called Studio E. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for their fabrics. I like what I see so far. I have no idea where to find a shop that carries them.

Have to put this on my to do list

This pattern uses a fat quarter for the outside, and it is totally cute.

Yummy Balsamic potatoes

I made the potatoes from this link last night for friends. I thought I made waaaay to many and would have leftovers. They were so yummy that they were all gone by the end of the evening.

Connecting Threads free patterns

I just found some cute free patterns online at Connecting Threads. [Images are from their site.]

The pillow would look cute in some leftover fabric from DD's quilt. My problem now is that I have more ideas than time to do them. Actually, that has always been a problem. I'm envious of those who can sew quickly. :)

New year

The idea of new year has taken on a different meaning for me. As I'm writing this, my two month old daughter is happily sleeping on my chest. This is her special new year, with amazing developments every day.

I wish anyone who comes across this post a happy and healthy 2009.

Happy happy, joy joy...

Do you remember that song "Happy Happy, Joy Joy" from Ren and Stimpy? I think it has been well over 10 years since I've heard it and it still pops in my head once in a while.

I took a quiz, and it looks like I will need to be careful that my happy doesn't irritate. That song seems like a perfect fit. :)

you are greenyellow #ADFF2F

Your dominant hues are green and yellow. There's no doubt about the fact that you think with your head, but you don't want to be seen as boring and want people to know about your adventurous streak now and again. Your saturation level is higher than average - You know what you want, but sometimes know not to tell everyone. You value accomplishments and know you can get the job done, so don't be afraid to run out and make things happen. Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

Also, I must be so busy running out and making things happen that I haven't taken time to post any crafting. Next time I'm out, I'll need to make buying batteries for my camera happen.
