Baby Quilt

I have another order for my baby quilts and so this is what I am working on at the moment.

Cute?


Name, with gorgeous feathers,


gorgeous owl fabric


hand painted animals, so cute :)

When this is done I am going to paint some more of my swirls designs. I love the randomness and the gorgeous metallic paint, it all just works so well together.


Easter this weekend, do you buy eggs for yourself? or pretend they are for the kids and then eat them?:)
Watched the latest Person Of Interest, so so fun. Love that show. What are you watching right now?

Finished!!!

I finished the Flowers art quilt, and it's now on Etsy too.






 



Here's hoping it sells :)
Working on another baby quilt for a client, I did animals for this one and they look so cute :). Now to put it all together. Last time I made one I forgot to put one of the strips with the nine patch!! duh. I was ironing them when I noticed. Must have been tired. So will be much more aware this time :).

I am thinking of purchasing a lesson on a website called Craftsy, it seems really good value and the lessons last forever. Anyone every purchased one?

Hearts

I finished the hearts art quilt. It is now on etsy waiting for someone to love it enough.



I checked the weather today, no rain till Sunday, so I got my weed killer out and sprayed those most annoying weeds on the rocks that we have. Three hours later, It Rained!!!! Whatever.... 
So will see over the next couple of weeks whether it worked or I am off to buy more weed killer. 
Have started on the garden quilt and am using metallic thread, hmmmm it keeps breaking and I have the right needle and it is superior thread so it is fantastic. I am getting real sick of rethreading. Will  keep going for a few more flowers until I cant take it any more. It usually works fine, so who knows why not today.

Am reading a real good book by Michael Conolly, have never read his books! how did I miss that. Totally enjoying it and it is so well written.
So tired today, a good book and rest is what I need.

Dreaming

I was looking on a real estate website the other day and I got distracted by looking at gorgeous houses in the millions :) it was so much fun. It's nice to dream about having a divine house with everything you want (needs are way taken care of in these houses :) and then I started looking in Tasmania too :). We lived in Tasmania for a little while and it was a fantastic experience and the island is sooooo beautiful. It is a real paradise. So I look up houses dreaming about living there again in some gorgeous old barn built by convicts :) or a gorgeous old victorian house that must cost a fortune to heat. It's cold down there. So, do you get online and real estate dream? It is an escape from mopping floors (need to do that now, escaping with this blog post) and other mindless tasks we do. 

While I have been quiet on the blog front, more mindless tasks that give me nothing to blog about :), I have been working on this.......

I am going to add bead to the flowers and will have bead as the trail to the dragonflies and the butterflies, should look good :)


I have lynx on my laptop and I don't know how to use the program that comes with it for editing photo's and I could not find where to rotate !!!!








Anyway, will take some photo's when its free motioned and maybe it will look better :) Off to get my hair cut, can't decide whether to be real brave and cut it short into some funky style or get an equally funky bob. My hair at the moment is long, it reaches my behind so this will be a big change. I am sick of all the hair everywhere!! I clean out my bathroom in the morning and by lunch it is like someone has had a fight with my hair and pulled it all out!! gross. Off it comes. Will post a photo if it looks any good :)

Update

I have finished sticking all the hearts down and now am doing the free motion work. There are so many hearts!!!! hmmmm

Sorry for the terrible quality of photo's, still saving for that wonderful camera that will take wonderful pictures and do my videos just as well. 




It has rained here for about 10 days straight. It is so humid and dark, you really miss the sun, and yet when it finally pushes it's way past the clouds, it is going to be soooo hot and humid. But that's okay, the perfect time of year is coming, autumn. It is so gorgeous, the only thing missing is the changing of the leaves.
Off to go clothes shopping with my daughter today, she is very very excited :) me too.
