LATE NIGHT FINISHES!

I stayed up until midnight last night (waaaaaaay past my bedtime) to finish these. They're fresh out of the dryer and heading to my shop!!!

I DID IT!

Finally, my lifelong dream of having my own shop has been realized.

I took the plunge and opened my Etsy shop. You can find it here!

Let me know what you think!

I'll be posting new items for sale as they become available!

NEW FAVOURITE COLOUR COMBO!

This is my new favour colour combo. Now all I have to do is find a back. I can't wait to finish this one. This top is based on a pattern found here! I just made every second block with white rings! I think it looks pretty cute. I wasn't sure how it would turn out but I really love it!

Lissie wanted to be on the blog, too!

NEW SHOP GRAND OPENING!!!

My good friend Caroline just opened her Etsy shop! She sells jewellery as well as all sorts of beaded bookmarks, key holders, and stitch markers - "Beautiful items for gifts or to treat yourself." You can see a sampling of her gorgeous products below! Having seen a lot of the items myself, I can say they are absolutely some of the cutest pieces I have ever seen (and I've seen a lot)!

The GRAND OPENING SPECIAL is 25% off anything PINK for the month of September. In addition, anyone who mentions they saw PINK PAJAMAS on the Tabbiegirl Blog will receive free shipping on their first order. As well, the first FOLLOWER from the Tabbiegirl Blog who places an order will receive their choice of a SEWING bookmark or key holder FREE! You can find her Etsy site here!

I KNEW THIS DAY WAS COMING...

See that little wrench and screwdriver - yup, it's time for servicing!!! My poor baby needs some well-deserved TLC and R&R. The only problem is...it's going to take 2-2 1/2 weeks. Whatever shall I do....

These guys will just have to wait patiently for their binding. Time to break out the knitting needles!!!

TWO FINISHES AND A TOP!!!

Finally, some finished projects!

A sweet little coin quilt - I LOVE coin quilts! and pink and brown!

I call this my "ultra-modern" baby quilt - from a pattern by Kate Conklin. Would I make this again, probably not, but I loved the process. Check out the back below - my most favourite fabric EVER!

Here it is in more detail. It's going to go on the back of this, too...

Baby log cabin made entirely from scraps. I'm trying to be a little more bold with fabric choices. I'm trying to get away from buying "a line" of fabric and doing the mix and match thing, which I think makes for more interesting quilts. I'm beginning to enjoy the challenge of starting with a fabric I love and adding to it.

I think I've got my mojo back!!! (Thanks to my husband for help with the photoshoot!)

IN CASE ANYONE'S WONDERING...

I'll be back! It's TOO HOT to sew! I can't go near my machine or fabric right now. It's supposed to cool off over the next few days. I'll be back soon with a few finishes and a few new projects - just in case anyone's wondering!!!
