all i have to show

Still not finished...but so so so close. I was debating on keeping this one a surprise, but I am not very good at keeping secrets.





Considering this is a blog about projects I am working on or have completed...it only seemed right. I wouldn't want you all to think I am doing nothing. I apologize for the "awesome" quality. They were taken from my cell phone to track my progress.

...and yes, they look better in small format.

Wool...who would have thought. Thanks again Holly.







So I may have gone a little overboard on the amount of pictures for just this one little guy, but I had quite a fun little time happily shooting away, and I had so many favorites.

I don't know if I should admit how long it took me to complete this one pillow, but it was much longer than needed to be, considering all I needed to do was stitch it closed.

Also, I absolutely love the blue fabric on the back, thank you pipers quilts...oooh so much fun.

and another

Sorry about the silly stuffing fibers...and as you have may now noticed, this is not my ruffle pillow. Maybe one day I will find a back for it.

i'm on a roll

Ryk and Jessi...this could be the reason why your painting is not quite complete.






I can't decide which side I like better.

katie jo

first off, an apology is in order

To Ryk and Jessi...for this is only the start of your painting. I hope you like yellow.

yes, a box that slides open

My heart fills with joy every time I slide the lid open and close. Oh hoorah for the simple things in life.

katie jo

oh the ruffley pillow

So this doesn't look like a pillow, I know, but it's a start!




What better use of my time on a Sunday afternoon than sorting through random quarters and scraps of fabric creating all sorts of combos? Baking maybe? Although that requires more clean-up.

This little pillow still needs a back, but as for the ruffle, it is my favorite...mostly because I just love the fabric.
