BOY, OH BOY

Well much to my sons disagreement, I do love him, and I have made stuff for him before. I do agree that it's easier to make stuff for the girls tho. To remedy the argument at hand, I am making a boy quilt. It's a lot easier said than done. I have thought and shopped, and finally come up with an idea. While in one of my favorite quilt stores, I found boy material. YAY!!! I found the cutest material with robots. It also had a matching stripe material to go along with it. I threw in some solids and found some other patterns to go along with it. I am going to make a crazy patch quilt with robots. Lets hope that I can get it done with out to much impatience from my son.

WHAT TO DO NOW??

I know, I know. I haven't posted in a over a week. Last week was very busy. I got my craft room clean, and my Stamp party was lots of fun. But now I am itching to sew again. I have been looking at my clean room and wanting to sew but just not mess up my room. So the best thing I thought to do was to start with a small project. Finnish it and clean up right after. So thats just what I did... I finished a project that I was "commissioned" to do over three months ago. It wasn't that I didn't want to do it, I just couldn't find the material that was bought. I made a wallet from my own design. I love this wallet. Its big enough to carry a check book, drivers license, credit cards, cash and all those receipts every woman shoves in meaning to throw out later. The best part is that it only takes about 3 hours to make.

GOING THREW WITHDRAWL

I am having company on Friday and need to clean my "craft" room (also known as my formal dinning room) up so that it isn't a complete mess when people enter my front door. I keep getting distracted with projects I want to work on. I made an executive decision today. I put my sewing machine away on Tuesday until Saturday. I'm was hoping this will help me to get my cleaning done. Unfortunately, it hasn't helped. I still keep thinking about all the quilts I want to do. It might not help that I am also looking at books and patterns as I am cleaning. (I forgot that I had some of those things.) On the good side, Saturday is just around the corner, and my room looks a lot better. (Not sure it will ever look like a dinning room again until I get my basement redone, but I can see more of the floor.) I am going to do my best, to try and keep it clean. Lets see how it goes....
