So ummmm......

I am TIRED! The parents association at the girlie's school decided to do a basket auction as a fundraiser for a new playground. It was a wonderful, exciting, unexpected SUCCESS!! WHOOO HOOO. Now I used to have a gift basket business, (don't ask, that is a whole other post in which drinking and lots of cursing are needed) so I know what goes into doing these. But I must be out of practice. I gave "direction" on how the baskets should be put together. Mostly my jobs were to cellophane them and make the bows for them. Bob have mercy! I had to have Sophia bring some ribbon from Hobby Lobby because our Hell-Mart ribbon selection quite frankly sucks! Anywho, who knew it takes so long to make 16 bows? I thought I was never going to get done. And I used to do this? oiy I guess it all goes back to....IT WAS A SUCCESS! YEAY! And the girlie's looked sooooo cute in their dresses. I will get a group picture for proper posting!

In other news, I have purchased a couple of new bag patterns that I am dieing to make! DIEING! They are big. And beautiful. And I cannot wait! But my feet hurt so much from last night, that it maybe tomorrow before I start.

I also need to work on my Retro Flowers Quilt and Cathedral Window -A-Longs!

Hope you have a good day!

My new love.....

I have found a new love. Cathedral Windows. LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!

Believe it or not, these fabrics do match. They came in the same fat quarter bundle, just wanted to clarify that. I really need to work on my fabric selection and prints. Live and learn I guess.

I need to start working on my retro flowers quilt a long. So much to do and so little time. :)

Sally and Lucy have a concert this week also. The teacher decided to do a Civil War Theme. I guess that means anything blue or grey will work. Guess what two colors they don't wear too much of? And if they have it, is it appropriate for a concert? NOPE! So I found a cute, easy, simple peasant dress that is really good for a beginner like me. I have never sewed clothes yet! Sally's is almost done. I found another tute where she put a ruffle down the front. Right now I can't remember where I found it, but when I post pictures I will dig it up! Lucy's is cut out and one sleeve is attached. I am trying to use my serger on it.....>:~{ We will see how it turns out!

Sorry it has been so long in between posts....Its a work in progress for me!
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter. Sophia and the Princess came to visit so we had lots of fun!
