Love these quilts

These quilts by Anita from Bloomin' Workshop are great. They are inspiring me to do something with my scraps.

Lecien free patterns

I should be sewing again soon! The craft room is almost ready. It should be functional after this weekend. I've started looking around at some things to work on. There are so many cute patterns on Lecien's site.

Coming soon: Craft room re-do

My husband and father in law are remodeling our laundry/crafting room right now. The old room was small, dingy and gross. It's still going to be small, but hopefully clean and well organized, and a bit brighter with better lighting.

The timing should coincide with my schedule calming down a little. I hope so anyway. I haven't been able to sew for three months.

Selvedge quilt label!

I wish I could take credit for the idea, but I saw it on the Marcus blog. Neat-o!!

Cute beach bag for SIL

I sewed up this cute beach bag for my SIL's birthday. I hope she'll like it. I had picked up the outer fabric as a remnant at JoAnn and the lining is Freshcut. I wish I would have realized that the color looks a bit washed out on the leaves and taken new pics. Oh well! Note to self for next time. :)

Plus, aren't those peonies gorgeous?? I love when they are in bloom.

Meds for life?

When trying to get preggo with my daughter, I found out I have PCOS. Only a few of the symptoms are present for me. Now, I found out I have hypothyroidism and will most likely have to take meds for it for the rest of my life. Plus I just started birth control pills to regulate my crazy-a** periods since my daughter was born.

I'm hoping that will help me kick the weight I have gained and to have more emotional equilibrium. I really don't look forward to taking a pill every day for the rest of my life, but I guess if it has to be, it has to be.

Patchwork lottery

I decided on a whim to make 3 blocks for a patchwork lottery here. It was simple, and I had some scraps to use up for it. It would be neat to win the blocks back, but I also am happy that someone else might be happy with them too.
