My little stash of goodies.....

Everyone has there little tool or notion that they can't live without. I am always out of these little purple markers - so I told Clint to just buy me a ton, and I won't need them for at least 8 quilts. I go through 3-4 markers per quilt. So, my little stash for just me. It's exciting to have all these markers and I won't be going crazy at the end of the quilt because I can't see my lines.

Quilter's Cramp............

Okay - where do I start. I have had this quilt on the racks for a while now - I have worked a ton of hours on it, but I still have three rows to go. It is taking all that is in me to finish this thing. It's going to be gorgeous and I know that I will be proud of it, but I am having a hard time finishing.

I am so disorganized that I get so distracted. I should say my brain is so disorganized...

Domestic Diva?

Ever since we have been married Clint has wanted homemade bread. I told him if he wanted to have homemade bread - then I need a Bosch to make it! My mom had her Bosch and I have always wanted one. So, today while Clint went to the "post office" he came home with an early Christmas present for me. He's so sweet to me! I dropped everything, ground some wheat and made my very first batch of fresh...

Guilty as charged..........

I have to admit that I have been one of those people that isn't quite ready for the Christmas stuff to be out in stores before Thanksgiving - but I caved. I absolutely love Thanksgiving and will be thinking all month what I am thankful for, but I will have this tree in our entry to remind me of the Christmas season. I love this time of year, it reminds me of what is truly important in life and I...

Studio pictures!

You know when you just need a change to help with the motivation? Well, I needed this little change in my studio to get me excited about finishing more quilts. Clint has been amazing - he moved all the furniture and put up new curtains for me! I love, love how it turned out. You can see what my studio looked like before we moved everything here.

Okay - the quilting machine fits exactly across...

I can't think of a title for this post - my brain is gone. Here's another peak at what I am working on. Although - I didn't work on it today. It's been one of those days where I think I am going to accomplish a whole lot - as far as quilting is concerned - but I am so overwhelmed with how many quilts I have in que that I just don't want to face it! So, what do I do? I tell Clint I need a change...

I was fully aware that yesterday was Halloween, but when I looked at my phone and the date said November 1st - it hit me that the year is coming to an end! Holy Cow - where the heck did the time go? Clint already wants the Christmas tree up. Normally I would say "let's wait" - but I am super excited about our tree this year. Well, here's to another great month in 2011 - let's hope I can get some...
