In a Bind!

Yes, i actually bound a quilt myself. BIG shocker.

I honestly didn't know if i still had it in me. How spoiled am i?

Did i mention that i HATE (excuse the strong language;) binding?

and that the lady who binds my quilts does the tightest, pointed corners for a steal?

Who could blame me?

O.k. maybe binding isn't all that bad.

Just keep moving...

I feel like we are in a state of constant moving in our home. 

One child sleeps upstairs because it's too dark in the basement, 

one wants to move down for a little more privacy. 

My craft room seems to be in constant movement in relation to it's size. 

(which means it has moved a lot!) But i'm happy to say that at the moment 

it is shrinking AND moving upstairs. Hooray for light! 

Here is a sneak peek.

A new permanent home for my collection.

and a new quilt {kind of} for the wall.

Salsa

What is it about the fall and salsa? 

In this house they go hand in hand. (in mouth!) mmmm

Back to school with a new bundle of HB pencils and a desk

that will soon be a best friend. My 1st in JR. High and my last in preschool.

I hardly know what to think about it...

A little bit of color never hurt anyone...

Add some color to your life.

Wild Hair!

Usually when you think of wild hair something like this comes to mind...

but i had a different kind of wild hair this past week...

A Zig Zag Quilt! I have wanted to sew one of these up for a long while.

Check! One more quilt off of the long and growing list.
