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.
