It's June!

Hi everyone...
It's June.... how'd that happen?? Only yesterday it was February... I'm sure of it! Well I've been on vacation for the last two weeks and tomorrow is back to work day.... it also means I'll get back on schedule and get some stuff done to post too!

Having off was nice.... really nice.... but I didn't get a lot done... I was too busy flitting here and there and socializing with friends I don't get to see often enough....and that was a good thing...

I've posted some pics on the photo site.... the link is on the main page.......

I made a blue big tote with the stars idea... like I did the thimbleberries one... I used leftovers from the turning 20 quilt I made a few weeks ago.... it came out really nice.... I may make a few more of these for xmas presents.......... I also made a set of Lazy Girl goodies.... I made a wonder wallet and checkbook cover and sassy bag...........all using the leftovers from the blue bag.... The check book cover has a quilt square in the center.... the wallet has a self fabric covered button and I got to use the new Creative Grids Curved Ruler on the sassy bag... oh wow... how neat this lil gadget is! It made a Lazy Project even Lazier! I need to post pics of those on the LazyGirl yahoo site to get my entry in for the free fabric..... oh... like I need more fabric ... lol I just started cleaning out the stuff I have here that I don't use....and probably never will.

We had a garage sale yesterday.... a lot of the excess fabric and patterns went..... and about 10 bags of buttons went also.... it was a very profitable day!

Oh and guess what!!! Finally.... the bow tie is done!!! That leaves one more tie to make.......and they can be crossed off the UFO list..........that list is really dwindling.....

I also made a baby quilt for my new great nephew... John Michael. It's all bright and bold in reds and yellows and it really rocks! I made a pillow case from some equally bright reds and yellows and greens and blues to put it in when I mail it back east to him......... it's just so darn cute! Even did the free motion quilting on it my self!

I have my new bathroom stuff all designed out and started.... I have the 5 stars done for the shower curtain... I need to cut the rest of the blocks and put that together... it will have a white percal lining and i'll attach the front to the lining with tiny star buttons......... 2 of the stars will be enlarged to 24 and 36" and be used as wall hangings.... one of the stars will be reduced to about 6" and used to make the toilet seat cover........the other two stars will be duplicated and be used on the vanity top......... I think it's gonna be pretty cool when it's all done!! I hope to work on that this coming week.........

I'll be doing a small bazzar in october so I need to come up with some quick and easy christmas type projects for this.... maybe some mug aprons.........some quilted stockings.........little sewing kits....stuff like that....

I also plan to work on my xmas list.... that involves a bunch of wonder wallets, a few what-nots, and I think a couple of sassy bags........plus lots of baby stuff for John and some fun stuff for Andrew! It's sew much fun to sew for little ones again!! Hmmmmmmmmm maybe some crayon bags for the bazzar would work too!

Guess that's it for this week......... Thanks for stopping by....... I'll have something for next week....... dunno what... but maybe some bathroom stuff......... there will be a bunch of thimbleberry club stuff towards the end of the month.... I have two projects to do for that by the end of june......... plus something for show and tell..........

Take care
stop by again and feel free to comment on stuff
